Air America airhead in trouble

From The New York Times:

Randi Rhodes, an afternoon host for the progressive Air America radio network, was suspended Thursday after repeatedly insulting Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton at an event last month.

Ms. Rhodes used vulgar language that likened Mrs. Clinton to a prostitute at an event sponsored by KKGN, the Air America affiliate in the San Francisco area, on March 22. A video of Ms. Rhodes’ remarks was published to the video-sharing Web site YouTube on Tuesday, prompting condemnations by some bloggers.

In a statement, Charlie Kireker, the chair of Air America, said the radio network “encourages strong opinions about public affairs but does not condone such abusive, ad hominem language by our hosts.”

The network called Ms. Rhodes’ suspension “indefinite” and did not elaborate on the fate of her daily three-hour radio show. “The Randi Rhodes Show” is normally broadcast from 3 to 6 p.m. weekdays. Sam Seder, another Air America host, was scheduled to fill in for Ms. Rhodes on Thursday.

On the video, Ms. Rhodes is also shown using derogatory language to describe Geraldine A. Ferraro, a former congresswoman and a supporter of Mrs. Clinton. Ms. Ferraro resigned from a committee of Mrs. Clinton’s campaign last month after making controversial remarks about Senator Barack Obama.

The last we heard from Randi Rhodes was when she went out walking her dog and fell down and hurt herself (probably because she was so high that she didn't even try to break her fall). She then claimed that a gang of evil right-wingers beat her because of her political views.

Now she is in trouble for saying some untrue and unkind things about Geraldine Ferraro and some dead-on accurate things about Hillary Clinton.

You can click on the link to YouTube and listen to Ms. Rhodes if you wish to but I warn you of two things. One is that her language is foul and the other is that she is so abysmally stupid that she makes Sean Hannity look. . . not all that retarded.
