Randi's been suspended?

[wryter2000]

Sam just said Randi's been suspended by AAR for inappropriate language at an event. Does anyone know anything about that?

1. There are a few threads here --

Suspended for calling Ferraro and Clinton 'whores' at an AAR event. Brilliant.

What's the site for Sam's show? Thanks. nt

EDIT -- here's a link: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x3100486

2. Prolly calling H. Clinton and G. Ferraro "fucking whores."

There's a vid of it around here somewhere.

3. Get real....One can't going around calling other Dem women...

"Fucking whores", at a public speaking engagement, open to all.....simply because Randi supports Obama, who I think is a fucking whore as well...In so much as I'd wouldn't want to hear a Democrat (or republican) call Laura Bush a fucking whore in a public gathering...

No couth what-so-ever by Randi!

No matter what I think of Hillary Clinton as a candidate for president, (she is still a Democrat, though I rarely agree with her on anything) as they are ALL corporate whores....I'd however, would use other, more educating terminology in my speaking engagement than "fucking whore" in or out of context of my act.

6. At a public speaking engagement ... IN A CLUB ...

She was doing a type of stand-up routine, while people were drinking beer ...
it's not like she was speaking at the National Press Club or something. As
Bill C. said recently, if politicians don't want to get "beat up" (including
in comedy routines and on the late night shows), then THEY SHOULDN'T RUN
IN THE FIRST PLACE. AAR totally overreacted (INMHO).

8. So you'd agree that Obama is also a "fucking whore" then, correct?

In the same corporate context...Then Obama is just as much a "fucking whore"....

I don't support either one of those two FUCKING MODERATES - Hillary or Obama!!!!!

I hate republicans and moderates equally!

So don't get in my way Repugs or Middle of the road - Fence sitting - Which ever way the wind blows, fucking moderates!

9. They're BOTH corporate whores, frankly

I would have preferred Kucinich, but of these two corporate candidates,
my choice is Obama.

In a club setting, I wouldn't be offended if I heard someone like Chris
Rock calling Obama something equally offensive in a routine. It's the
price candidates pay for running for office -- they become public figures
and the subject of criticism, ridicule, comedy, etc.

16. Who said that? In a comedy bit?

If you don't know the difference then that's your problem.

4. Fabulous. They should fire her.She has become an abomination. She used to be my favorite

and now I can't even listen to her. She is horrible. She may have a problem and should seek help if that is the case. I always wondered about that story about her falling and breaking her teeth a while back. It took days to get the real story.She allowed it to be circulated that she was mugged and the stry was in the paper, them all of a suddedn , she comes out will she "fell" and "no comment".Of course, prior to that, all DU speculated "death thtrats" and headlined posts with "Randi Attacked". It seems she attacked herself!

[liberal1973]

17. She shouldn't have even been suspended

"-now I can't even listen to her." Then you haven't really been listening to her. Randi Rhodes has been the same on the air for a number of years now.

As a matter of fact AAR should give Randi Rhodes a bonus. :):patriot:

10. Loose lips sink ships.

Can't some Dems keep it together? Do some of us have a big death wish or a defeat wish that we can't control?

I am totally exasperated with Randi. If she isn't in therapy, she should be. It's gotta be taking a toll on her physically and emotionally.

12. At least it gives

Fox News something to crow about.

13. And isn't that great? n/t

15. It's a coincidence

that I was just thinking that Hill was a 'corporate whore' a day before this came to light. I had thought it would be inappropriate if I used the phrase because it would look like I was calling her an actual whore. I think the word whore can be used for selling yourself in other ways than just for sex. It's better if you use it to describe a man if you don't want any confusion.
