Mmmmm, Spud luffs that AMC.

She is totally teh HAWT!

The fact that she also one of the most insightful, aware, connected and personable talking heads on the planet just sorta comes as a bonus to that first indisputable fact.

After listening to the mostly sorry assenbly of sad sack shit-fer-brains who are ostensibly Aemrica's best pundits the arrival of AMC on the scene is always a welcome relief.

Her presence on the AA radio oughta give their numbers a much needed shot in the arm.

After kicking ass and taking names on the radio dial maybe she'll run fer office like Franken did.

Wouldn't THAT be cool?

/Shout out to Rachel Maddow fer raising AMC's profile recently by having her on as a regular guest.

Be Well.

What will she call the show? Ana Marie Cox and the Liberal Cox Suckers?

Thanx fer askin'!

Be Well.

There must be, what? Four stations that still carry Air America?

FTA: Bill Hess, senior vice president of programming for Air America, said her curiosity about issues facing Americans "promises to serve as the foundation for lively reports and commentaries from the capital and from the Main Streets of America."

Prior to joining "Wonkette," Cox served on the editorial staffs of Suck.com, Mother Jones and Radar.

Air America Media runs a national progressive talk radio network and Web business. The network is carried on 60 affiliates nationwide, including WWRL in New York, KTLK Los Angeles and WCPT in Chicago. It also runs on Sirius XM Satellite Radio.

Small correction here.

AMC didn't join Wonkette.

She was Wonkette.

Spud notices the picture of AMC on Wiki is a shot of her and Jimmy Wales together with Ana looking slightly apprehensive.

Hands off, Jimmy, she's happily married ya horndawg!

Be Well.

She's transgender? P.U.

I thought you were a big Ann Coulter fan, Wissy.

She's transgender? P.U.

As Let Us Prey mentioned, no, she's not mAngina Cultherd.

However, according to her early articles in der Wonkette she was awful fond of talking about teh buttsecks.

A fact which endeared her to Dan Savage, the guy who writes the Savage Love columns, which is where Spud originally heard about AMC.

Funny ole world.

Ta to Dan fer that, btw.

Red Heads with Tats kick ass!

Be Well.

She makes me laugh. But so does Pelosi, so I consider myself balanced.

Back to Cox. Do the drapes match the carpet?

Never heard of her.

Wis-most rightwingnuts are starting to deny they ever heard of, much less voted for GWB. What's your point?Republican candidates for 2010 are already practicing, "George Walker Bush? I think I might have met him in a greeting line, once."

And WND readers. It really is great fun to read WND try to spin Bush as evil and how they knew it all along after the last 8 years reading their support of him. For those who don't read it, WND is a better humor site than the Onion and the best part is WND doesn't realize it.

Who cares?

Does Air America have enough money for a paycheck?

Err America has been trying desperately to get a liberal male audience. With a name like Cocks, they've got ratings gold!

There must be, what? Four stations that still carry Air America?

No another went belly up so it's down to just two one in Hollywierd and the other in Bezerkly...

That makes...lets see. 3,4, no 5 people who may listen now! Good for them!

You can get Air America in Miami. All you have to do is tie two tin cans to a string and hold one end up to your ear.

There must be, what? Four stations that still carry Air America?

They went belly up in the People's Republic of Austin a couple of years ago. Austin is a very liberal city, so if they can't hold an audience there, it is a wonder they can hold one anywhere.

"You can get Air America in Miami. All you have to do is tie two tin cans to a string and hold one end up to your ear."

I don't have any trouble picking up 940 AM WINZ radio, I listen all the time.

"Does Air America have enough money for a paycheck?"

They don't have the deep pockets that the big corporations who own the right wing liars but they do seem to be growing. We are inaugurating a Democrat on Tuesday and progressive radio definitely helped make that happen.

I listened to it once for about 10 minutes. Much like this site, when they run out of emotion, it get's dull.

Many or the progressive talkers regularly beat their right wing competition in individual market ratings.

They are still on the air? I tried tuning in a few months ago and got sports.

And yet you never post proof of your claims.
Although the claim you just made couldn't be any more vague. So vague in fact, I wonder what the point is.

How many? Who? What markets? Who is their competition?

Is that lame thing still on the air?

Kendall drive, west of Dadeland.

I think WINZ broadcasts from Hollywood so maybe being so far south prevents you from getting a good signal. I get it real strong. If you can't listen on the radio you can always stream, that's what I do at work because this building has some kind of interference which causes all AM to just be static, works fine for FM though. I don't know why so I just stream.

Why would someone want to listen to on the internet a broadcast so crappy that it can't survive AM radio?

Warning: my comment may be offensive (it is to me, anyway):

The largest media market in the Us is NYC. Air America doesn't even crack the top 20 according to Arbitron ratings. Wor and WABC kick their ass. Hell even Imus beats Air america.

Air America is pathetic. They can't beat the right wing radio in a city where Dems outnumber Republicans 5-1. Congrats Air America

Oh, and thank you from your wonderful progressive attitude.

Cabo-
Thank you for yours.

BetelG,

Hurry up and tell us all that you are not a redneck peckewood cracker racists and that some of your best friends are Mexican.

I am not a so called "progressive".

that's clear, Cabo.

Thank you

LOL. Try that with your Republican friends, dude. I'm sure your Jedi mind tricks work on the feeble-minded.

NIce try at deflection.

jedi mind tricks??? what are you like 16?

Ana Marie (Ding Bat)Cox joins Air (Boozo) America.

Is this piece of garbage still operating?

What bothers me about you is your politics, Cabo. You found a place on the lifeboat, and now you are the first volunteer to kick the late arrivals off, and your propensity to bloodlust regarding entire ethnic groups and religions. Also, your desire to drag the US worker down to the level of the third world, now that you have a secure position.

It's a character flaw of yours that I find annoying.

I'll bet you dress as Darth Vader for Halloween dont you? I will also bet that you attend Star Wars conventions. Do you have a poster of Princes Leaha over your bed.

BTW, Cabo, I have no "Mexican" friends, as I have not traveled to Mexico in years. I have many American friends, some of whom are from different parts of America, such as Mexico.

I almost pissed myself laughing so fucking hard.

Cabo-
I am annoyed by sycophants and authoritarians who play the "Mexican" card in an attempt to grant themselves pity status, or authenticity.

Me too

God almighty Boyd. Make it easier and tell us what doesn't empty your fucking tear ducts.

"Some of my best friends are from Mexico".

Here in the states it's not considered cool to place words in quotes and claim someone stated them unless they did.

Me too

AAAAAAAAWWWWWWWW that hurt my feeling.

I hate whinners and slackers. Life is tough at best, we are owed nothing other than is requird by contact or law. Only now is the U.S. begining to see how the rest of the world lives and feels. And it will only get worse, much worse.

Good luck.

#32 Posted by Danni

Liberal radio helped Obama get elected!?! Are you kidding me!?! Danni, people would have to listen to it first before that statement could even begin to become true. I tried listening to it but people like Al Franken and his pure hatred for all things right made it impossible to enjoy. For the record, I do like Alan Colmes' show.

But the amount of listeners alone will tell you that Air America had nothing to do with getting Obama elected. It may have affected 12 people's votes I'll give it that.

You sound like Tosser.

#68 | Posted by BetelG

I have no Idea what that means.

Cabo-
Read Tosser's post concerning the US, and compare it with this:

NAW, send a link or something

My point, Cabo, is that you seem to want the US and its citizens to suffer and lose their jobs to the third world where gov't is corrupt and business is either plutocracy or slavery, depending on whom you were born to.

I don't get why you want that.

INteresting news today....new FCC Chairman named.....says he will be changing rules to undo much of what has been done these past few years especially including.....media consolidation....diversity of views on public air waves.....expect right wing exploding heads....expect Rush to have a stroke.
All the teasing that Obama isn't going to bring change is going to switch to "that damn Obama is changing things!"

Far be that from the truth. I swear.....And I have never said that, with exception to Danni.

I just find it that more and more people, especially young people and minorities believe that they are "OWED" something. I am sure there are a good number of whites that feel that way but minorities get more air time.

I know this is old, but makes my point.

www.youtube.com

Cabo-
I heard that on the Limbaugh show just today. He went on and on about it. Are you a fan?

NEVER listen to him.

What pisses me off is I am sure my tax dollars are going to suport this idiot (in the video). I am sure she is to fucking stupid to even have a mortgage.

The counterpoint to that would be that we expect gov't to function and serve the needs of its citizens, and Limbaugh and you and the people you elect have no such expectation. Indeed, they (and you) are opposed to competent governance, and even the idea of gov't by and of the people itself.

You are the "patriots", or so I am told.

But you must be.

Cabo-
I won't watch the video, but how much cash did this woman receive from the gov't?

Of course you won't. As stupid as she appears to be, most of her life i would bet.

Cabo-
Does the video establish how much she received from the gov't, or can you tell me?

Why is it that libs always comment on Linbaugh and Hanity and the right never comments on Air America or the like? Oh wait... Nobody listens air america.....

watch and find out.

You seem to guess a lot, Cabo.

Where did the several hundred billion doled out to banks and Wall Street over the last month go? Do you have any video of that to get you all riled up about the class of people who are "OWED" something?

It doesn't, does it?

You are a dittohead, Cabo, and it shows.

I haven't clicked on your link, but my guess would be that the woman you hate is black.

Would I be wrong?

I'll test my theory.

Well, I was right.

And you don't find her shameful?

I find you shameful.

Figures. Well, once you get a job and start paying taxes you may feel different abot people like her.

I've seen this video before. It's all the rage among people who wish to justify their racial animus and somehow prove that their prejudice and hatred is reasonable. Welcome to the club, vato.

air america,isn't that a CIA front? when did they start doing radio?

what will air america do without bush,turn into obama ass kissers.get this months radio ratings air america did not make the list.

Cox and I share something in common: We both contributed to Suck.Com in the early days of the web.

~Rcade

Spud was kinda late to the party and missed Suck.Com entirely but some folk still speak well of the place and that is a pretty cool connection.

I noticed that Wikipedia picture too. What the hell is Wales doing there? Get off our Cox, dude.

Narf. ^_^

Ya better be careful there, Rogers.

Spud, as a totally anonymous blogga boi, has total poetic license to ill as regards JW but in yer case he's prolly still a little choked at yer somewot embarrassing revelations of his self-edited wiki page thingy.

/Irrespective of the irony factor.

Ya might just wake up one day to find yer own wiki page edited to include a picture of you back in yer fully mulleted glory days and, s'rsly, NOBODY wants to see that.

Speaking of "nobody"...

Nobody here at DR (on any side of the aisle) wants to congratulate Ana on being a blogga gal who made it out of the virtual trenches and into the Big Show?

WTF?!

Does Spud hafta do everything himself around here?

Spud to Ana:

Congrats and good luck with yer new gig.

This 8 1/2 inch tall talking tuber is rooting fer ya.

Be Well.

/Get it? Rooting?
//Laws, Deth is jest awful Spud!

I was not even aware that Air America was still on the air.

I suspect she wasn't getting much COX where she worked before. But if she starts the 12 step program at AA and makes it through she may become a better person.

Ya might just wake up one day to find yer own wiki page edited to include a picture of you back in yer fully mulleted glory days and, s'rsly, NOBODY wants to see that.

One of these days I'm bringing that mullet back and gettin' me a pickup truck and a blue tick hound to embrace my southern heritage.

With a rebel yell...

One of these days I'm bringing that mullet back and gettin' me a pickup truck and a blue tick hound to embrace my southern heritage.

Almost afraid to ask but wot in blue blazes is a "blue tick hound"?

A hound that is infested with blue ticks?

A hound that hunts ticks and is kinda depressed by the fact?

A neccessary companion to a Dem who has eshewed his yellow dog ways in order to adopt a blue dog Dem persona?

In terms of buying a pickup truck Spud has an idear...

Fred Thompson has a little red truck that he don't need any longer.

You could prolly pick it up real cheap and it's a good deal cos it's got really low mileage

If you follow through on yer threat to re-grow the mullet Spud largely suspects that yer luffed ones would tie you down and take a weed whacker to the thing.

/And they would be well in order to do so.

Be Well.

Nobody here at DR (on any side of the aisle) wants to congratulate Ana on being a blogga gal who made it out of the virtual trenches and into the Big Show?

No, no one really gives a fuck....

... into the Big Show?

Air America, with its failing stations across the country, is the 'Big Show'?

The people doing the shows tend to be boring. They need to hire people like Bill Maher to do the shows.

It is kind of ironic her name is Cox. Air America is failure in most media markets, even though it got so much free press by the liberal media when it was launched. Meanwhile, COX Communications kicks ass and keeps getting bigger and bigger. It was funny when Randi Rhodes fell down drunk in NYC and blamed it on the vast right wing conspiracy

how's the dating scene Timbci?

I don't know what's funnier, the left getting all defensive about progressive radio despite dominating the blogosphere, or the right being proud of dominating radio despite being dominated in the blogosphere.

Am I wrong, but isn't the internet >>>> radio as a source for news, entertainment, and information in general these days?

Rasta. How is the ghetto ?
It must be great to be the only one in your project that has internet access
