Friday oddems: returning to obscurity; hemorrhoidal FCC tool; wiki quickie with rachel marsden; sex out of the box; nancy-frigging-grace; humble-frigging-dori; a latvian, two filipinos, and a truckdriver

 ~~ "Returning to obscurity" is how David Goldstein framed his future after a good run filling-in for Dave Ross (KIRO m-f, 9a-12p). We asked in a post, last week: "How's Goldy doing? hoping to get some feedback on the local, novice, liberal blabbermouth's radio performance. Of course, we got an earful. But there's some Large_lovehatebaby_2good advice there, once you get by the Goldy-haters. Does up-and-comer David have a chance in a local talk market that's shrinking before our very eyes? Probably not, unless, of course, he's willing to do celebrity astrology, and forsake his trademark wonk for awesomeness.

~~Speaking of Too Beautiful to Live, (KIRO m-f, 7-10p) Gay Gary says he's finally loving the new show since the sexual tension has been ratcheted up, "like," he says, "A LOT!" He noticed it when Jen producer was out sick and Sean and Luke were left alone. "... Luke was going into the Seancontrol room with Sean where he was planning on doing the show the rest of the night. 'It's boys night tonight!' he gleefully announced. (OMG!) He then had Sean inspect a skin rash he'd developed. (OMG - x2!!!) What will happen next?! I don't know but it's like a radio soap opera you guys! I'm just hoping the prudes at the FCC don't make them move the show to Sirius or XM now that things are heating up." Gay sexual tension on talk radio? Gotta agree with Gary: that's thinking out of the box... (photo: Sean)

A woman scorned: rachel marsden out of the wild

Rachel_marsden_2 We knew she couldn't keep her face and apparently irresistible heart-shaped ass out of the papers for long.

Rachel Marsden has apparently had a messy breakup with Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales.

Marsden posted the above photo of herself on eBay Sunday where she's selling items she says Wales left behind in her New York City apartment after he dumped her.

Wales has confirmed he was briefly involved with the former Fox news personality, Morticia lookalike, and conservative Toronto Sun columnist.

Rachel Marsden: "Babe [from hell] for Bush" is back in the news...

Cnnrach2Rachel Marsden has had a bad year.

In November, the former British Columbian's column was abruptly discontinued from a 2-year run on the Toronto Star syndication for some enthusiastically pro-torture remarks she wrote. 

In June, the Morticia Addams look-a-like had to be frogwalked by security out the door of Fox News' NY studios for "bizarre and erratic" behavior. She'd been a regular on the puerile, late night Red Eye, Fox's futile attempt at Kute Konservative Komedy.

She was supposed to be Fox News in-house Ann Coulter; but she turned out to be a Coulter who acts out... scary! (And besides, she isn't as subtle as dear Ann).

Canadian press is now reporting she's being investigated for criminal harassment after accusing a Mountie ex-boyfriend, of leaking Canadian anti-terrorism secrets.

Rachel marsden frogwalked out of fox news

Proving once again that 'right-wing' and 'humor' are mutually exclusive, crazy-pants Fox News hottie,Marsden_sextet Rachel Marsden again offers a cogent argument that 'right-wing' and 'sane' may be just as oxymoronic.

The long-legged ex-Canadian, Morticia lookalike was escorted out of Fox News midtown Manhattan studios by security Wednesday night for what the NY Post reports as "for bizarre and erratic behavior."

A source told Page Six: "She's out of her [bleeping] mind. She was doing crazy stuff."

Bodysnatching neobabe: rachel marsden steals julia roberts' ass, but not her soul

Marsden_3   Alerted by loyal reader Trac, we've been drawn back by the Siren song of the reprehensible Rachel Marsden, the convicted stalker; Fox News right-wing up-and-comer, and known liar.

Note Marsden's Web site flashpage on the left (or click here).

Is that our Rachel lounging on the fainting couch all legs, anklestraps, cleavage and teeth?

Hell no: it's Julia Roberts, who has talent and really is a celebrity.

Marsden went here or here, downloaded the look-a-like pic of Julia, and pasted her onto her own front page.
