| Janeane Garofalo Sacked By Air America? |
| 2006-07-01 |
| (hat tip The Radio Equalizer) Has Janeane Garofalo's liberal talk show been declared FUBAR by Air America Radio? With one source indicating (via hard copy information) that it may leave the airwaves as soon as tonight, it appears very likely that the self- loathing and acerbic talker / actress / Hollywood political hothead may already have done her last show. If the hate- filled Garofalo remains in any capacity at the network, it will be as an occasional political correspondent, perhaps for phone-ins during election season, for example. But she may very well be ready to walk away for good. In addition, the "Majority Report" show appears to have been cancelled, with co-host Sam Seder possibly heading into a temporary late- evening hosting role in many Air America markets outside of New York City. Seder has been working as a fill-in host for the Randi Rhodes Show this week, while a local personality from San Diego has taken over the "Majority Report" in Sam's absence. If Seder's new show can find adequate financing from political groups, it may remain beyond the end of July. In addition, some program staffers may be allowed to stick around during this period to see how that works out. |

| #8 AIR AMERICA, like the Clinton-centric DemoLeft in general, is waiting for the Spetzlamists to attack America again, and take out the GOP-led, anti-OWG = pro-USOWG NPE. Until that day, the game is RINO-ism, CINO-ism, and Americans-in- name only, etc. THEY WANT WAR, REVOLUTION, AND ANARCHY, ETAL. IN AMERICA, BUT WITHOUT EXPLAINING WHY NOR WANTING ANY OF THE BLAME OR CONSEQUENCES FOR SAME - SOMEONE(S) ELSE MUST BE BLAMED FOR THE DEATH AND DESTRUCTION: you know, Secular Atheist Intellectual "Courage of Conviction"!? |

| #7 I read somewhere recently that Air America is morphing into a women's network, sort of a virtual Women's Studies department. If so, the old political types won't be wanted, not to mention any of the men. Although I cannot imagine such a format being more successful in attracting audiences or advertisers. Seafarious, your friend's timing may have been fortuitous. My sympathies, muck4doo. |

| #6 Air America? I thought that went away after the Vietnam conflict? |

| #5 I guess that Garofalo will blame the Vast-Rightwing-Conspiracy, if not some Luciferian Pactoids. (hum the Twilight Zone theme for context) |

| #4 I have a feeling she has been "sacked" by a lot of folks. |

| #3 If Seder's new show can find adequate financing from political groups, it may remain beyond the end of July what about all that ad revenue?...heh heh... I don't recall Rush or any other VRWC talkshows being subsidized by political groups...sounds like AA's shows should've appeared as a political donation on FEC reports |

| #1 If Seder's new show can find adequate financing from political groups, it may remain beyond the end of July maybe they can find a few more widows and orphans funds they can rob. |
