| Air America suspends Randi Rhodes for offensive language (I am not making this up!) |
| 2008-04-03 |
| Air America host Randi Rhodes called both Geraldine Ferraro and Hillary Clinton "whores" in a recent appearance, seen below. Rhodes, who hosts a weekday radio show on Air America, said to the cheering crowd, "What a whore Geraldine Ferraro is! She's such a fucking whore!" She then proceeded to say, "Hillary is a big fucking whore, too" to a mixed audience reaction. "You know why she's a big fucking whore? Because her deal is always, 'Read the fine print, asshole!'" Video here. Update: Rhodes has been now been suspended from the network. Air America released the following statement: Air America has suspended on-air host Randi Rhodes for making inappropriate statements about prominent figures, including Senator Hillary Clinton, at a recent public appearance on behalf of Air America in San Francisco which was sponsored by an Air America affiliate station. Well, thank goodness! I'm glad Air America won't stand for abusive, ad hominem language from its on-air personalities. So, then, if, say, for example, if Jeanne Garofolo or Al Franken were to utter something abusive and ad hominem about George W. Bush or the Pope or John McCain, they'd be out the door in a New York minute. Right? Hey! why is everyone laughing at me? Do i have toilet paper stuck to my shoe or something? . . . |

| #6 #5 Every time I see her name I think of Ozzy's guitarist. Sad that his name and memory are in any way connected to this gutter troll and speaking of gutters - I seem to recall that she drunkenly fell out of a bar then claimed that she was attacked. |

| #3 Is that the same station who robbed money from a program for poor Black children? Yes. How it is that they are still not bankrupted? Maybe Air America found some cripple children they can steal from. |

| #2 Rob is a word the 'Others'(tm) use for Republicans. The Others just borrow, but never pay back though they believe they will 'Someday'(tm) thus making it acceptable. It's the same financial structure arrangement that works for Social Security. As for their financial viability - the same accounting firm that used for work for subprime corporations is probably working the books there too. and White courtesy phone for Mr. Imus. |

| #1 Two questions? Is that the same station who robbed money from a program for poor Black children? How it is that they are still not bankrupted? |
