Why did Randi Rhodes just say she can't talk about the Election?
God_Bush_N_Cheney just called the show and I thought I heard Randi say she couldn't talk about it - call me at home, and Andy said "Really?"

What gives - is AAR on lockdown too?

1. If she's like some of us...
she can't STAND to talk about it any more.



But of course... it's HER JOB.

called her. I thought maybe she did that because they were going to break and she said she could not talk about it because the music was coming on.

16. Come to think of it - it sounded like her reply was edited.
As I was listening it sounded like her reply got clipped. I know they are on delay. I wonder what the deal is.

4. I'll listen to that part again when the archive gets posted...
Heard it too, and wondered why she said that... after all it's not like she doesn't want to...

very interesting...

or hey- give her a call or write and ask her. :)

7. She's said repeatedly that she doesn't want to reveal BBV strategy.
That was Andy from BBV and I think she didn't want to go on the air with BBV strategy for fear of having it counteracted by the right before it can get off the ground. Makes sense to me.

17. Agreed
She saw what happened in Florida 2000.

Thom Hartman will be live tomorrow, maybe he'll have an update of sorts.

13. In Portland, we're 3 hours delayed
KPOJ in Portland will air Randi from 3:00pm. So, listen on their stream in less than 3 hours and you can hear it again.

14. Its on the main page of AAR - see list of affiliate stations
Our local affiliate only plays old rebroadcasts, and 2+ day old news isn't cutting it these days. Call me on my cell phone everybody.

15. Check Air America Radio's website - www.airamericaradio.com
They've got a list on their website. Also, you can listen to the shows live through your computer.

18. Download yesterday's show from airamericaplace.com
They usually post the show some time during the night.
I always listen to it at work the next day since we are not allowed to stream it.
Also great for use with a MP3 Player, file size is about 50 MB.

12. Randi is great and a real back saver, love AAR

but does stolen elections take a break, did the people who planned it take a break, will I take a break, no way.

I am going to march all over downtown Wash, D.C. this weekend and go on and on about the stolen election, even if I am alone it will make me feel so much better about everything .... I can't wait to see the looks on people's faces when I walk by with my sign. I am strong, I am an American, I have rights no matter what they say, I will be free, even if it is just me, I will march.

21. People, ever hear of sarcasm? Randy was being sarcastic to the utmost
degree. She was pretending that everything is fine here in good ole America... "where all the votes are counted." And yes, she was mocking the crap out of our lame, weak, scared Democrats who just manage to have nothing to say about the situation in Ukraine.

22. Sarcasm is not the reason she wouldn't talk to BBV
Andy is Bev Harris right hand man. She wouldn't talk to him - not in an unfriendly way either there was something going on. I agreee that she doesn't want to give the right the tools to diffuse the upcoming offensive from the left.
