Greg Palast was on Air America tonight and went too far and was offensive

Advertisements [?]

I think this was during Rachel Maddow's time slot though she was not hosting tonight.

After repeatedly joking about whether Bill Richardson was a real Hispanic because of the "Richardson" name, he referred to Richardson as "Mexican by injection". He also repeatedly referred to him as "fat", "bearded..." something or other. This went on for several minutes.

Did anyone hear this? The racial comments, and I didn't capture them all because I was driving were the real kicker and they were offensive.

He went too far tonight, I thought perhaps he was actually drunk.

No matter, I'm going to complain.

Thoughts or comments?
