"Air America" Suspends Host Randi Rhodes for Calling Ferraro, Clinton "Whores"

Air America host Randi Rhodes called both Geraldine Ferraro and Hillary Clinton "whores" in a recent off-air appearance. As a result, Air America suspended her, saying the following in a statement to the Huffington Post:

Air America has suspended on-air host Randi Rhodes for making inappropriate statements about prominent figures, including Senator 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 chair Charlie Kireker.

In what appears to be a monologue, Rhodes said:

"What a whore Geraldine Ferraro is! She's such a f*cking whore!" She got big cheers for that statement. Later in her tirade, she said"Hillary is a big f*cking whore, too, OK. She is a big f*cking whore, and you know why she's a big f*cking whore? Because her deal is always, 'Read the fine print, *sshole!'"
