Question re: Randi Rhodes in light of Susan Sarandon's continued controversies...

[hlthe2b]

i haven't listened to Randi Rhodes since the old Air America Radio days, but I'm aware she's still doing her thing at least online and I know some here do listen to her. I DO remember that she was extremely enamored with Susan Sarandon during the Bush years.

So questions for those who continue to follow Rhodes-- did she support Hillary in the last election (primary)...? Is she still supporting Sarandon? (Remembering Randi's extreme jealousy toward Al Franken, I can only imagine what she has to say about that, so I won't even ask)

Can't help but be curious... What viewpoints is she promoting now?

1. She is supportive of Al. It was posted a couple days ago.

The rest I don't know

9. i listen to Randi's podcasts and she has been great lately

Very supportive of Al. Said she worked with him for yrs on Air America and no staff ever complained. She said she doesn't believe Al sexually touched anyone as she said he is one of the least sexual guys she knows.

She was for Bernie, but ended up supporting Hillary.

She has had Malcolm Nance on a few times and those shows have been super great.

Her reporting about Puerto Rico, Trump/Russia have been good.

2. I think she supported Bernie in the primary but Hillary in the General

I don't believe she has any time for Sarandon, not anymore anyway, and she said she has loads of disagreements with Franken, but she stood up for him over the current mess...said he is the least sexual person she knows.

p.s. Her podcasts are good, see tunein.com

4. Are you talking about Randi or Sarandon?

[hlthe2b]

5. sorry, but seeing Sarandon's name made me curious

Obviously, since I've not heard nor thought of her since at least 2010 when AAR shut down, I've not exactly been posting to excess on Rhodes.

10. Totally disagree - I enjoy her podcasts

Because she was initially for Bernie, you think we should not talk about progressive democratic personalities on DU?

6. LOL. Rhodes is a fruitcake. Used to say that Hillary "has a hit out on me!!11!." Crazy.

8. I was at an event where she called Hillary the b word

The women in the audience recoiled and a bunch walked out. A couple of days later she lost her radio program. Seems to me she has a reason to dislike Hillary. That said, she did support and said she voted for Hillary in 2016.

11. I never heard that and I listen to Randi all the time.

Randi is not a fruitcake - she is a progressive dem on our side.

13. Maybe you can believe your own ears? Here she is on 5-22-08

This is just one relevant snippet, but she would go on and on about how she had "some real dirt" on the Clintons, but she couldn't talk about it "because I like being alive."

She's a loon. Sorry to burst your bubble.

7. Why does anyone give Sarandon the time of day?

A total waste of time IMO.

12. Here's what she said about Al Franken:

Her Friday podcasts, as well as clips from others can be found on her YouTube page.

14. After Randi's meltdown over Hillary Clinton and Geraldine Ferraro, I've not had any use for her

And after the current election, I feel the same for Susan Sarandon.

15. Randi Rhodes still has a great radio show.
