The bitterness of the Democratic presidential race kicked up another notch yesterday, with the discovery that popular Air America radio host Randi Rhodes recently performed a profanity-laced standup routine in which both Geraldine Ferraro and Hillary Clinton were repeatedly referred to as “big f-ing whores” (minus the sanitization, naturally). (She also called Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, and Dick Cheney racists and anti-Semites but Air America seems not to be upset by that.)
I respond to him in the comments:
Rhodes continues to amaze me with her ability to dig deeper holes with her mouth…. particularly since she has so few teeth to dig with anymore, given her recent battle with 17 martinis and a New York city curbstone.
James has raised an interesting point about the timing, however, that goes to the heart of the rift in the Demorat party, today.

I rise to object. The gentleman, from Outside the Beltway, should have have descrbed Randi, “Oh Toothless One” Rhodes as the popular Err Aemrica host[ess]. As Taylor Marsh noted, in what almost become the Snark of the Day, “Who knew Air America was still on the air?” I yield the balance of my bandwidth.

Well, yeah, they’re still around.
Rimshotters, for the most part.
