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.

Appalling. IMO, no matter what our political leanings, these sexist epithets need to be categorically rejected (same as I would hope we would show no tolerance for racist ones).

Imagine if somebody in radio or television had called Michelle Obama a "f---ing whore". I think that person would have been fired from their job already. She is getting off easy.
