She's leaving for the Air America affiliate in San Francisco that sponsored the event at which she called Hillary a "big fucking whore." I guess they owed her one. Story here.
The radio host Randi Rhodes has left Air America, the progressive radio outlet said Thursday, ending her national syndicated show and leaving the network with a three-hour hole in its afternoon schedule.
Ms. Rhodes, the host of the “The Randi Rhodes Show” will join KKGN, the Air America affiliate in San Francisco.
She was suspended by Air America a week ago after a video of her making disparaging remarks about the Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton surfaced on YouTube. Ms. Rhodes likened Mrs. Clinton to a prostitute at an event sponsored by KKGN on March 22. . . .
In a statement, the chairman of Air America, Charlie Kireker, and the president Mark J. Green said Ms. Rhodes had chosen to leave.
Ms. Rhodes was the host from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. for Air America, and the network did not immediately announced a successor. . . .
A Sunday host, Sam Seder, who previously led a morning show for the radio network, is under consideration, according to an Air America employee who asked not to be identified. . . .
