Air America host Randi Rhodes called both Geraldine Ferraro and Hillary Clinton "whores" in a recent appearance, seen below. Rhodes, who hosts a weekday radio show on Air America, said to the cheering crowd, "What a whore Geraldine Ferraro is! She's such a fucking whore!" She then proceeded to say, "Hillary is a big fucking whore, too" to a mixed audience reaction. "You know why she's a big fucking whore? Because her deal is always, 'Read the fine print, asshole!'"

I've never listened to either, DG, but damn..... if that's how she feels, so be it, but this looks like a bad case of diarrhea of the mouth on her part.

No, Democrats are way too conservative for AA.

I mean I have a few family members part of that kook left-wing and they seem to never be happy about anything. They are very pessimisstic about life and I just dont like being around them much at all. And if you get them going on politics, they quickly blow up in some very hateful rheteric.

And Air America hired those types of people to host programs on their network. And like I said, I cant stand to listen to that attitude for very long.

It's psychology....most people prefer optimism. They want hope. The best businessmen, the best leaders, the ones that make the most money are more often then not optimistic and happy.

If you mean that fools want to be lied to so that they can keep their heads firmly in the sand, and their butts high up in the air to be fucked by those businessmen and leaders you worship, then yep... the rest of us are jaded, bitter and worried.

Guess what though? People can be informed and still try to be happy at the same time. It just takes a different philosophy of life than the lies and fallacy you want us all to revel in.

People are going to vote for whoever makes them feel mentally good and whoever makes them feel physically safe.

Ya, say Robert Reich like limbaugh does, it makes me laugh, say feminist like he does, comon you can do it, I know you are good at parroting mindless twitter.

I gotta tell you cyber, when I wax long and poetical about what a dipshit these folks and Bush, Cheney, Wolfewitz and so on are, and point out their foibles, there are many of the left out here that laugh, and cackle and are just happier than can be.

Now, are you making some kind of fly in the face of prima facie evidence that folks out here are NOT extremely optimistic that Bush and his degenetors  (such as McCain or Mitten) haven't got the least shot at having anything meaningful to do with this country in the years to come?   They are fucking jubilant, pal.  Clear the beam in your own eye, and don't seem to take the high road after all we been through.  It ain't washable.

Ron

quote:

April 11 (Bloomberg) -- As I was watching General David Petraeus being questioned in congressional hearings, I finally got why Senator John McCain has an even chance of being president in spite of supporting a war that most Americans are against.

As he'd done so many times before, McCain said we can win if we just pull up our socks and banish our defeatism. ``We can now look ahead to the genuine prospect of success,'' he said, ensuring ``that the terrible price we have paid in the war, a price that has made all of us sick at heart, has not been paid in vain.''

McCain's optimism is seductive no matter the facts because Americans aren't good losers. It's not that we're sore losers. We're just not losers generally and have no practice at it.


http://bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601039&refer=columnist_carlson&sid=arwII9vothC4

Optimism is powerful; it's a close cousin to confidence, and people are drawn by it.

Now, that doesn't mean they aren't being led off the side of a cliff...
