Hillary over-reacted, a preview of tyranny echoed by the whitehouse staff. Cross Hillary and you die professionally. But Randi is back, this time on a channel Hill cannot bark at. she is fearless and very popular. She liked Obama so saw to her personal life for 8 yrs. Now she has raw meat and will expose both nominees dark sides.A counterbalance of the drivvel coming from corp media. I am so happy.Yes I expect her to go after Hillary, but Hill is use to that. She is just as strong a woman as Hillary and wont back down. I have to credit her a little vengence. It is going to be entertaining.

The GE was going to be so damn boring, now we have some fun coming our way

Frankly, some part of me liked it better when those that are now spewing their hate over at Jackass Ridiculous could spew it here. Now they're just being passive-aggressive and posting their Hillary hate in ways that lack enough context to fly under the alert radar, especially without the ability to comment or put it into context. Kudos to them for mastering such vague tactics but it does make the discourse rather difficult because the real thing they're trying to say is that much harder to address. I suppose we must feel pity for them. They are in the death throes of their dreams, especially with Bernie poised to support our candidate. I can't say I didn't wonder if he would do the right thing, especially with the Jacked Up Roidicals going on constantly about how he's going to run independent, but then, like the 9/11 truthers, I think some of them will still be campaigning for Bernie when he's little more than a footnote on Ancestry.com.

If you like seeing truth exposed and muck raked in an entertining manner, even if the wrongdoers are on your side Randi is great.

That's the divide here. As someone who believes that sunshine is the best disinfectant, I like Randi.

Departure from Air America

Air America suspended Rhodes from the network on April 3, 2008 after an event in San Francisco, California for Air America affiliate KKGN. While doing a 'Stand-up' Comedy act, Rhodes said on March 22, 2008:

"Geraldine Ferraro turned out to be the David Duke in drag ... What a whore Geraldine Ferraro is! She's such a fucking whore! I wanna see her have to stand beside her husband at one of those mandatory 'I have sinned against you; I'm a whore' kind of a press conference. Mr. Ferraro should have to stand next to his whore of a wife ... Hillary is a big fucking whore, too. You know why she's a big fucking whore? Because her deal is always, 'Read the fine print, asshole!'"
