What did she do?
She called Geraldine Ferraro and Hillary Clinton, "Big Fucking Whores" and she did at a recent public appearance on behalf of Air America in San Francisco which was sponsored by an Air America affiliate station.
Video is at YouTube and below: Language warning if you have small children around.
Air America has had its share of problems, namely not enough listeners to keep it from going bankrupt in 2006.
Rhodes has been known for her controversial statements about Mitt Romney, or her 2005 skit about a Soprano style hit on George Bush.
Radio Equalizer has a nice list of things Rhodes has said. NewsBusters has even more.
Yet her comments about Hillary Clinton somehow offended Air America?
Air America's statement:
New York - 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.
Funny how everything else can go unpunished, but let her insult Hillary and her butt gets kicked to the curb.
Amazing that.
[Update] Stop the ACLU has the video of Geraldine Ferraro saying Rhodes should be fired.
