Randi Rhodes is pissed- Jeff Gannon chickened-out of appearing on her show
Edited on Thu Oct-05-06 04:32 PM by IanDB1
He says, "I didn't like the way it was advertised."



Brave Jeff Gannon ran away!
Bravely ran away away!
When Randi reared her Lib'rul head
He bravely turned his tail and ran
Yes, Brave Jeff Gannon chickened-out
Gallantly he just bailed out
Bravely taking to his feet
He beat a very brave retreat
Bravest of the brave, Jeff Gannon!

1. BAHAHWAHAHAHAHAHA!
Poor Jeff Guckert, Fuckert, Suckert, whatever. I say we NEVER call him Jeff Gannon again. Let his lies go by his real name; Happy RimJob.

7. She's Not Pissed
I'd wager she's not even surprised. Although she does appear to get "shocked" and "surprised" fairly easily.

She put a compromising picture of Jeff on her website, and also some pretty poignant statistics, that he likely wasn't fond of.

She called him out, and he backed away. I'M NOT SURPRISED AT ALL. Why should Randi be? She's just trying to make this into a series of sound bytes, but it's irrelevant, and Jeff probably never had a real intention of coming on and facing the music.

You may be right. Randi always sounds that way.
I'm glad Rachel Maddow comes on after Randi to cheer me up after Randi makes me cry.

Edited on Thu Oct-05-06 04:06 PM by dave29
he wanted it to be cut... so that the package was more presentable to the media.

14. If you invite someone on your show, why would you say certain
vile things about him to your audience? That's not very good, imo. I like Randi, but she should treat her guests with certain respect. Even if it is Guckert.

40. Gannon is lucky to have you as his #1 cheerleader.
You've always been a true backer. He must really appreciate that.

42. No, I don't think I'm his #1 cheerleader.
I just wanted to hear what he had to say. Although I'm sure he was only interested in bashing liberals and Democrats like he does on his website. Of course, none of us know what he was going to say since he cancelled. Thanks to Randi.

15. From what it says at AAR's website, I kinda got the impression
that he contacted Randi in regards to being on the show.

gay male escort/White House Correspondent.

This came about late last night after Randi wrote Gannon a scathing email upon seeing his site. She was motivated by her outrage over gay Republicans rolling over for conservatives who are out in force equating homosexuals with sexual predators.

19. No surprise, he backed out of going on Stephanie's show earlier this year.
I remember Chris saying a month or two ago that Gannon had agreed to come on the show, but backed out before Chris got a chance to book him. Drama queen much, Jeffie?

25. From JimmyJeff's website, his explanation, boohoo
jeffgannon.com (yes, I went and checked)

Randi Rhodes Has No Manners

I cancelled my appearance on the Randi Rhodes Show today on Air America Radio because I wanted to be treated as a guest. I objected to the insulting way in which they were promoting my appearance. I really enjoy to debate, but I'm not going to participate in a conversation where I am not going to be accorded basic courtesy even before the show begins.

Clearly these good-hearted liberals have no idea of the concept of being a good host. Being angry doesn't mean you can be ill-mannered.

41. 'Aint that the truth.
He was instructed from the "powers that be" to stay the hell away from her. Too smart. Too quick. Too risky. She would have tripped him up, IMO. They know that.

43. Exactly.
Randi would have smacked him down. Both Gannon and "the powers that be" know that.

32. You may be on to something. I have a plan...
1) Hire Jeff Gannon for a date.
2) Meet in a nice, quiet club or restaurant.
3) Bring a tape recorder.
4) Conduct interview.

Oh, but of course check local laws first.

35. I thought maybe he'd decided to be a submissive.
"I came here for an argument... this is abuse"

"Oh, I'm sorry. You want Randi Rhodes... down the hall to the left"
