Randi Rhodes, the radio talk show host who was suspended last week from Air America after going on an obscenity-laced tirade against Hillary Clinton and one of her prominent supporters, has resigned.
Mark Green, president of Air America Media, told FOXNews.com that Rhodes terminated her contract Wednesday after she refused to apologize on air for her remarks.
“We sought an apology, because of what she had said…like Imus, like David Shuster,” Green said. “She refused and instead last night informed us she was terminating her contract with Air America, which she has the option to do.”
He said she was not forced out — “She exercised her option.”
Rhodes has apparently already been picked up by Nova M Radio, which released a statement saying Rhodes would be nationally syndicated on the station starting Monday.
Rhodes’ lawyer Robert Gaulin told FOXNews.com the host would return home to Florida, and broadcast from there.
I'm beginning to think she was just looking for an excuse to find a new gig.
What's interesting is that she'll be broadcasting from West Palm Beach, FL, the same town that Rush Limbaugh lives in and broadcasts from. I wonder if they'll be using the same studio facilities? That could get ugly.
