EMBED

On the August 27 edition of the syndicated radio program The War Room with Quinn & Rose, co-host Jim Quinn introduced a segment on Sen. Hillary Clinton by saying, "By the way, that brings us to our Hillary Heads-Up," and then playing audio of the Elton John song "The Bitch Is Back." Quinn then said, "I was going to play 'Ding Dong, the Witch is Dead.' But you know what, I -- you never know with the Clintons."

The War Room with Quinn & Rose is a syndicated radio program based in Pittsburgh on Clear Channel's WPGB 104.7 FM. Talkers Magazine lists Quinn & Rose on its "Heavy Hundred." According to the show's website, it airs on 17 radio stations and XM Satellite Radio.

From the August 27 broadcast of Clear Channel's The War Room With Quinn & Rose:

QUINN: I can't believe that the American people look at Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid and John Murtha and say to themselves, "Yeah, I want more of that." But that -- maybe it's just me. By the way, that brings us to our Hillary Heads-Up.

ELTON JOHN [audio clip]: I'm a bitch, I'm a bitch. Oh, the bitch is back. Stone cold sober as a matter of fact --

QUINN: I was going to play "Ding Dong, the Witch is Dead." But you know what, I -- you never know with the Clintons. And of course, Bill still has another crack at it tonight. We'll see if he can control his mouth.

        Their base prefers the banjo duel from "Deliverance"....Come to think of it, the kid with the banjo was Quinn.

        Quinn, why don't you answer anything here. You are a coward like the rest, hiding behind a microphone and never discussing anything.

      The moon bats are out in full force this week:

      Mark Levin last night called the Democrats at the convention freaks at a Communist convention. Of course it's the "Democrat" convention as well. He went after Michelle Obama and explained how she stole her lines from Saul Alinsky, and ranted about Barrack Obama's ties to Alinsky, and radicals. Tonight is was his close friendship with Bill Ayers.

      He called Hillary Clinton's supporters "hemorrhoids" and repeatedly called Senator Clinton "Her Thighness".

      He called Senator Obama "Barrack Millhouse Obama". or simply "Millhouse". 

      I don't know how people on the right can listen to this mindless, juvenile blather. Levin doesn't have the intelligence to do an actual critque of any of the speakers.  Everyone is a stalinist, or commnunist, or freak. Rush wasn't much better than Levin today. Two hours on the road today with right wing radio....yikes.

          Juvenile says it all. I was waiting for Levin to call Senator Obama a big poopie head.  

           On Limbaugh  today, Obama was the messiah this, and the messiah that....that's really getting old....esp. when he started referring to the Gods of the liberals...reffering to the news that Obama will be speaking Thurs. on a stage with columns resembling a small Greek temple.

        What could using Nixon's middle name for Barack possibly mean?  I'm sure Levin thinks he's being oh-so-clever thinking he can bring up the whole "Hussein" thing this way but seriously, what could he possibly find in common between Nixon and Obama?

          I wondered about that too....esp. since Levine kept referring to Obama as just Millhouse as well.....like he wanted to be sure his listeners heard his change of Obama's middle name.

          I'm guessing that linking Obama to Nixon will makes listeners think of liar, criminal actions and a disgraced presidency. Nothing remotely related to Obama, but In Levine's itty bitty mind, I suppose he thinks he's planting another mutant seed of distrust, or a warning of things to come, in the minds of his audience.

            The rest of the story, of course, of which Wesley has no clue, is that Rhodes' contract had expired, and AA was looking for an excuse to get rid of her because she wasn't deferential enough to the station's new owners. Rhodes went directly to Nova-M, where she is today.

            If MMfA posters were fired based upon the number of lies they post, Wesley would be nowhere in sight.

              Also, it's worth noting, she did not make those statements while on the air or at a function at which she was representing Air America Radio.  Her statements were on stage at a comedy club, meant to be just for those she was addressing in the room.

              It may have been naive of her to not consider that someone might have been recording her, it clearly makes her statements less significant than those made on the air as host of a radio program.
