35. I worship at the altar of Randi Rhodes!

Sep 2012

I have been listening to Randi since the Air America days and I have nothing but total respect and awe for her. The one thing that impresses me the most about her is that she will always tell her audience, "Don't take my word for it. Look it up for yourself." She is not propagandizing her audience, but opening up their minds to not take whatever they are hearing in the media as the gospel truth, but to put some time and effort into learning the truth. And her daily homework only proves to us that she is a consummate researcher and has the facts to back up what she is saying.
