Here is some host lady, Randi Rhodes, from liberal radio’s Air America station. A few days ago she was performing some strange stand-up appearance and repeatedly called Geraldine Ferraro and Hillary Clinton “fucking whores,” and then said some stuff about Sheryl Crow, a.k.a. the poor man’s Sinbad. Air America suspended this Rhodes gal yesterday “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.” Here’s the clip (STRONG LANGUAGE SO ONLY WATCH IF YR ALONE OR HAVE A COOL BOSS).

Internet video star Ayman al Zawahiri has appeared in many popular Al Qaeda messages that are only released in the middle of the night on unknown “websites” and then provided to U.S. TV news producers in the morning by “American terror analysts.” It happened again while you slept, and this time Zawahiri’s just reading old Air America transcripts. Bush is “an alcoholic, liar and gambler with an addictive personality,” says the terror bogeyman turned self-help guru. MORE »
