War between Randi Rhodes and Ed Shultz was just declared.

Shultz just called her "Randi Slut" on the air.

4. The Ed Shultz Show


Now he's riffing on Franken's appearance on Letterman
last night, and he's tearing apart AAR.

they have a bunch of jerks on there, except for Thom Hartmann, and one other guy, including an HOUR of Wall Street Journal crap in the morning!

46. Alex Bennett is pretty decent on Sirius Left
Though his show drifts away from politics quite often.

He may occasionally say something negative about Kerry, but he gets pretty hostile on Bush and Nader.

More entertaining when he takes on RWers.

66. G. Gordon Liddy and O'Reilly hate each other.
Maybe it's a Biggie/Tupac thing, just tryin' to make some more money.

All this whoever it is Ed Schultz person is gonna accomplish is to run traffic to Randi's show, and once they hear her they'll never go back. She'll probably start calling herself this as a joke, and work it to her advantage. I love the ribald way she flirts with callers. She's a big girl, she can handle little Ed.

13. Fargo, North Dakota of all places.

He's syndicated on the Jones Radio Network to about 40
markets, and he has Randi's time slot on KPOJ in
Portland, OR.

We don't need this kind of green eyed jealousy act among our progressive commentators. BS. RIP, Schultz (figuratively, of course). Your airwaves should be dead soon.

26. He is,
Randi talked about it one day, when they were putting AAR together she said they were all interviewed and Schultz walked into the place liked he owned it and it was a done deal. Randi got the slot he coveted.

Great choice, if you ask me!

he's saying he's never said anything negative about AA, doesn't know them, doesn't talk to them. Now calling Randi a slut again. Say's she's been bad mouthing him. Something about Franken's comment last night about being #1 in political talk in Portland.

20. has Randi badmouthed him?
I seem to remember that when she first went on, she mentioned him, because he'd been rude to her at some point.

That's all...but then, I only hear about the 1st hour and a half of her show, since I listen streaming at work, and leave 1 1/2 hours after her show starts. And AAR hasn't hit St. Louis yet. (and I can't afford satellite radio - unless it's a lot cheaper than I think)

She recounted the events of one day when she was standing outside the AAR building and she said hi to Shultz, but he did not reply even though she was the only one out their.

102. Randi called him a republican back when AAR first started
She said he was only a "liberal" to ride the wave
of Liberal radio at it's inception . It was months
ago though .

I tend to agree with Randi especially with his
use of words today . Has anyone told Randi ?

I listened to Ed a couple of times before AAR
first aired Ed wasn't my cup of tea..

Al or Randi. As long as he keeps bashing Bush, that's a good thing.

24. It's KPOJ - the STATION - that's number one, right?
Edited on Tue Aug-03-04 02:44 PM by LisaM
This actually reminds me of Randi complaining because she never gets mentioned, and Al Franken does. Well, he's the famous one. I think Ed Schultz has good ratings -- but he has to build up his name recognition. Like it or not, Al Franken has been around for a long time making a name for himself.

Also, what Ed may not realize, if you listen to KPOJ, it is really easy to infer that he's part of Air America. Their website shows Air America, their news people are Air America - he's not, but he's surrounded by a bunch of Air American people and unless you listen to him every day you might not know he's syndicated differently. He should be talking to KPOJ about this, not reaming liberal hosts and listeners!

100. Why is it that when a man points out that rhodes is annoying, he's
a mysogonist? That's not only ridiculous, it's sexist. It sounds like you can't make a distinction between strong and obnoxious. The strong women I know and love are tough as nails--and like most strong people, don't need to be blow hards to prove it.

You started it with the use of the word "slut". I was
using a rhetorical device to show you how nasty the word
is to women out here.

I guess I got my point across, huh?

Oh, and ever think that Al Franken's such a big star that
he has no idea AAR programming is interrupted on KPOJ by
a hold0ver like you?

38. I listen to KPOJ because I can listen to both Ed and Randi
they're very different, but so is American full of different types - Ed pulls in fishermen, truck drivers, golfers - a different kind of audience, and I really like hearing his callers. I like Randi too - a LOT - but face it, they're going head to head in a limited market so it's only natural they'd have these turf wars.

54. Oh, it's true. Believe me.
If you send him one, ask him if he's so mad because
his poor widdle ego is bruised because Al didn't
acknowledge him.

101. She's gonna get it.
The only reason Schultz is on KPOJ is he's under contract, and was contracted before AAR showed up.

They're letting his contract run out, and Randi will get the vacant spot.

I was saying 2 years ago that Schultz was a prick. He just proved it.

107. I think so, too.
I just wonder how long Shultz' contract is for,
and how much longer we'll have to tolerate him.

I just know I'm tired of having to wait for her
show in the afternoons on KPOJ.

(I'm usually using my computer audio player for
work and can't stream her.)

65. Ed can't make a point to save his life
he wishes he could get the facts out like Randi but he just bumbles. He has almost as much trouble with the English language as Shrub. He's pretty much a Repuke too; only barely a Dem. The only thing good about him is he's out there working for Kerry. Otherwise I'd wish he'd just go away. It pisses me off to no end that XM switches to him instead of airing Randi in the afternoon.

70. Good to hear it was a guy trying to defend Randi....
I have mixed feelings about her myself, but as a female who craves more strong women in positions of power, authority, celebrity, Randi has my backing. Yes, she can be very abrasive and sometimes downright rude. But, which male pundit is not? Look at how lauded Tweety Bird is for beeing 1000x more rude and abrasive.

I've about had it with the media demonizing strong women (aka CNN and Theresa Kerry)--which makes it all more important to me to hear from men who feel similarly! They need to speak up with the same disgust as women to what is happening.

72. There's something wrong with Randi too...
Edited on Tue Aug-03-04 04:16 PM by Isome
I don't trust her. She epitomizes the warning: just beneath the surface some liberals and conservatives are all the same.

She went on ad nauseum about being a "black woman" last week (and during reruns this past weekend), and I was so insulted I wanted to yank the radio cord out of the wall! Besides, I'm sick of her arguing with callers who are trying to agree with her. She thinks her perspective is the only one that is right or that matters.

Forget Randi... she and Ed should verbally bludgeon each other right off the airwaves.

74. Nothing about Randi makes it okay for Shultz to call her a slut.

His use of such a sexist term makes me doubt everything
else about him re: his "progressive" credentials.

I don't care if they rip each other to shreds. Her pathetic humor was thinly-disguised racism (of the oh' so paternalistic liberal type) and his mean-spirited rant was sexist. They're made for each other.

73. Randi HAS badmouthed Ed Schultz
A couple of weeks ago, she accused him of several things, including being "a wannabe liberal." She made it pretty clear that she didn't like the guy.

I have some issues with Ed- but what you need to understand is that he's reaching out for Rush's listeners- and he does a damn good job of talking to that audience. He's also syndicated on a lot more stations than Air America... especially in rural locations.

His show may or may not be appropriate for Air America- I think it is, although I'd like to see both he AND Air America taking up radio bandwidth all over the country

76. She tried to introduce herself to him at a radio gathering
and he blew her off. That's what started it.

Still, Shultz was mad at Franken and he lashed
out at her with an insult that gives him away. Too
bad.

I hope they resolve their little spat, although they seem like oil and water- same with Al Franken.

I like the fact that "Big Eddie" goes head to head with Lars Larsen. He's a much better match for that timeslot than Randi, I think.

The Randi Rhodes suits the commuter hour better, at least here in Portland.

91. XM Radio, 8.5% Clear Channel ownership, runs all AAR except Randi--
instead, they run Schultz. I took back my XM Radio and got Sirius when I found that out and, after hearing Schultz interview and befriend RW pundits. Schultz is the radio equivalent of Zell Miller.

I am disappointed that these DJs can't get past their egos to keep their eye on the prize - defeating Bush. I like both Randi and Ed but at times they are too abrasive and rude to callers that agree with them, but I think it is REALLY BAD for our side to be fighting each other like this.

I don't want to start any rumors, but does Ed sounds kind of drunk right now? He is really slurring his speech, more than usual.

99. They both are counterproductive, IMHO
Edited on Tue Aug-03-04 07:03 PM by John_H
Schultz a transparent opportunist would become a "righty" in a heartbeat if it helped him down the road, and while Randi has grown on me personally, the twenty or so times I've listened to her with non-hardcore Dems present the responses have ranged from "Jesus, who the fuck is that? Turn it off." to "do you guys expect her to get you votes?"

I'm sure they "don't get Randi's brand of humor," but I'm not interested in the Career of Randi Rhodes. I'm interested in the career of John Kerry.

I don't know Schulz but I have heard Randi bitching about being dissed by various people numerous times. It's very unattractive.

I mostly avoid her show now-- she is an obnoxious, egomaniacal blowhard.

Apparently, he inserted his finger in his ass, withdrew it and stuck it in the wind...saw which direction it was blowing....so, he pretends to be a liberal, and lets himself be beaten-up by mouth-breathing knuckle-draggers all in the name of "fairness"....just gives these assholes a forum...fuck him!

109. Schtick...it's all schtick
Come on you guys, a lot of this rivalry stuff is just soap opera crap to keep people's attention. I've heard some radio people talk about it. In real life they could love each other for all we know. As for Ed, I don't believe he's a right-winger. I've listened to him plenty of times and he sounds ok to me. I think he appeals to a certain audience and is able to reach the down-home-type of Dems. He converted my brother-in-law! I have to stick up for him if only for that reason! I like Randi but am often bored with the ego stuff and I don't like the way she's rude to people but it's radio! For some reason, this is the stuff that attracts listeners. Or certain types of listeners. And I'm willing to bet it's the type of listeners that often vote on the wrong side. Besides, it sure didn't hurt Rush to be an asshole, did it?

More than she dislikes Scultz, she wants to hang Larsen's pelt in her den.

I remember when Stern used to do the same thing - he went on afternoons at K-Rock (after being dumped from W-NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN-BC) so he could hammer Scott Muni from WNEW. One ratings book and it was over - Stern owned that time slot. then he moved to mornings so he could destroy Imus. Same thing happened.

Randi wants that afternoon slot so she can destroy Lars.

I live in Portland and I know the kind of people who listen to (and have been listening to) Larsen for years. Whatever you think of Ed Schultz, he plays a whole lot better to that crowd than Randi Rhodes would. And I say this as a huge Randi fan....

If people want Larsen to lose his share, keep Ed on at the noon til three time slot. Better yet, Get KPAM to replace Hannity with Schultz's syndicated show and let them all go head to head.

It couldn't help but improve KPAM's dismal ratings.

See, e.g. Limbaugh, pals get liberally thrashed.

116. I live in Portland, too, and Randi'll play no matter when
she's on.

I don't think that MR will play during drive time,
so KPOJ might just stick with this winning formula,
if they can get Ed and Randi to play nice with each other.

It is soooo cool to see Lars and Hannity get stuffed
though, isn't it?


(I listened to KPAM from back in the days of Sheila Hamilton
and Bill Gallagher, until AAR started, and I really liked
Victor Boc a lot. Lost all interest when KPAM and Boc 'parted
ways.')

119. S- word? Very Bad Form! Ed also said Al is dirtying up the airwaves,
that AAR is in financial trouble and the word in the radio industry is they might barely make it to the election.

This kind of bad mouthing really turns me off. I don't know if Ed and his crew got snubbed at the Dem Convention or what - but he seems to have a HUGE chip on his shoulder and today just totally lost control of his mouth.

After his tirade over Al and Randy he went on to allow Ralph Nader unlimited talking time with next to NO rebuttal. Very disappointing.
