Randi Rhodes 49, is an American liberal talk radio personality featured on Air America Radio. She was suspended today for calling Hillary Clinton and Geraldine Ferraro ‘whores’. Following is a statement that has been posted on Air America’s website:
STATEMENT OF AIR AMERICA RADIO, FROM CHAIRMAN CHARLIE KIREKER:
NEW YORK — Air America has suspended on-air host Randi Rhodes for making inappropriate statements about prominent figures, including Sen. 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 chairman Charlie Kireker.
Air America was also the employer of former Executive V.P. Tom Athans. He left Air America in 2006. He made news earlier this week when he was picked up in a prostitution sting. He is the husband of Michigan U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow. See story here.
Rhodes foul mouthed tirade is peppered with profane language. She drops the F bomb repeatedly and also throws in some dialogue about ex governor Spitzer throughout her hate filled spiel. Some are likening her to Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Hmmmm.
