Air America Randi Rhodes suspended for calling Hillary a f*cking whore.

Wow, and wow how the media and the radio airwaves have gone too far...

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!'"

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.

"Air America encourages strong opinions about public affairs but does not condone such abusive, ad hominem language by our Hosts," said chair Charlie Kireker.

Woman don't mind allowing woman to be put down. Randi is one of many as we see most woman don't want a woman to be President. Woman's Rights have been fought for so long as we finally got a Woman's Rights Bill. Before that Woman couldn't own property, hold leadership jobs or even vote. I remember when woman were told their careers should be housewives but they could go to college to just find a husband. To think we have grown to a point were woman can fly in space. But like most things we will destroy our own success. We had the Civil Rights March for equality and the Woman's Rights March for equality. Now woman attack the only qualified candidate for President. Hillary would never had the chance to run for President if she were a Freshman Senator as Obama is doing. She had to learn and grown with two terms to get that chance. But that's not enough nothing is enough and with the help of woman we will move backwards. I see the Supreme Court Justices ready to remove the Woman's Rights Bill with the help of American woman. Just use the attacks on Hillary by woman to do it. Yes in the end as usual woman will wake up and say let's all join together to fight for our rights as for me I'll sit it out because woman are showing they have lost the power and will to do anything as a team. That time is gone and the woman who give their lives for what woman have today did it for nothing.

Republicans will wait until Obama is the Dems Candidate. Let's see how they treat Mrs. Obama. Now it's ok to call Chelsea a pimp and Hillary a whore, one must wounder what Mrs. Obama will be called. As for me I will keep my mouth shut because I don't hear Mrs. Obama standing up for woman even with the fact she got her career on the back of Woman's Rights. Oh yes and her friend Oprah too. Notice how Oprah has not said a word as the first female candidate for President is attacked. I guess Oprah like the rest of the American woman look out for themselves. Oprah did ask for help from woman when she was charged by the Texas ranchers yet is a no show to stand up for Woman's Rights.

Who the hell is Randi Rhodes?

The only Randy Rhoads I know of played guitar for Ozzy years ago.

If she played guitar as Ozzy, then they both take the same drugs.

I've heard of Air America. Never tuned her in or the radio station. But, she deserves this week Potty award.
