This news is appearing over at Liberal Talk Radio's website:
Randi Rhodes has been suspended:
Following the attention given toward a video of a recent profanity-laced live appearance, Radio and Records is reporting that Air America has suspended on-air host Randi Rhodes for inappropriate statements she made about prominent figures. At an appearance on behalf of the network and Clear Channel talk KKGN (960 AM) in San Francisco, Rhodes used aggressive language to describe both Hillary Clinton and Geraldine Ferraro, calling each of them a "fu&*ing whore."
I love Randi mostly for her passionate feelings about this country. But I know she gets herself in trouble for being outspoken.
The part of the article that bothers me is the "hint" that alcohol was involved, yet it is not specific as to whether it was Randi or the audience that was drinking. I am reading on other blogs that this comes on the heels of her being "attacked" ( their quotes, not mine) and alcohol was possibly involved there too.
I hope that is not the case. Her suspension is just temporary, and I want her voice back on the radio as soon as possible.
