I think Randi Rhodes is going to have a stroke if she continues yelling-air amer. now

[rodeodance]

[Beaverhausen]

1. "forty-five aftah"

[Nutmegger]

2. Yeow

She is pretty steamed.

[SeattleGirl]

3. Did you hear her just say "fucking"?

She is absolutely beside herself today.

[tridim]

6. Go Randi!

I'm just as pissed, but I can't yell with this damn head cold.

[SeattleGirl]

10. She's doing enough yelling for a roomful of people. Go Randi!

:yourock:

[LSK]

7. yes

[rodeodance]

9. she has been like this the last hour.--she really dissed a caller

[regnaD kciN]

34. Uh-oh...

You know there are wingnuts just dying to take down AAR. If she really used that word on radio, any radio station that broadcast it could be hit with heavy fines from the FCC -- which is ideologically-oriented toward Publicans anyway.

Most of AAR's affiliates are pretty small operations -- if they get hit with big enough fines, they may well have to shut down.

:scared:

[regnaD kciN]

35. As a follow-up...

...I called my local AAR affiliate (KPTK-AM in Seattle) and warned them about this -- they said they'd already been notified, and were going to remove the offensive word when her show gets broadcast here. Thank God they're doing her show on tape-delay and not live...

[rodeodance]

4. she is arguing that the moveon ad means nothing and should be concerned

with more imp. issues like blackwater.

[LSK]

5. shes technically wrong about that amendment, but I agree with her

SEC. 1070. SENSE OF SENATE ON GENERAL DAVID PETRAEUS.

(a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following findings:

(2) General Petraeus graduated first in his class at the United States Army Command and General Staff College.

(3) General Petraeus earned Masters of Public Administration and Doctoral degrees in international relations from Princeton University.

(3) to specifically repudiate the unwarranted personal attack on General Petraeus by the liberal activist group Moveon.org.

[rodeodance]

13. Politically it means a lot I think. Repugs got their way again-all week for that matter.

[LSK]

16. I think Obama approached it the best way

By not giving this nonsense the time of day and not even voting.

[rodeodance]

26. um.. not taking a stand while his collegues get raked over the coals!

[LSK]

29. they all should have not voted

[rodeodance]

32. yes, a boycott by ALL would have sent a better message.-or a walk out of ALL Dems.

[Terri S]

42. I agree

I think Obama did the right thing, and the rest should have done the same. This had NO place on the Senate floor with so much important business to attend to. This was a Republican maneuver to take the focus off the real issues. Shame on them for playing into their hands.

[DrDan]

14. and there were 21 Dems that supported that resolution

. . . .

Time to show them what free speech is all about. They seem to have forgotten.

[rodeodance]

17. I know. But it was a Repug amendment and it won (while 3 major amendments

put forth by dems fell into a hole!)

[frylock]

39. same shit, different congress

[LSK]

8. and yet she hits the "45 after" cue right on the mark

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[ClassWarrior]

12. She's one of the best.

B-)

NGU.

[rodeodance]

15. I am sure she has producer flagging her down and red lights etc etc

[ClassWarrior]

11. Go Randi.

Somebody needed to say it.

Never Give Up, Ms. Rhodes. Never Give Up.

[Middle finga]

18. She also said we should be giving the democrats credit for trying

to push through three important bills this week. F*&K that, I'll give them credit when they finally pass something meaningful. They got to learn how to play the game like the publicans do.

[rodeodance]

22. How might the Dems be successful?---really, I want to know.

[Middle finga]

37. Force an up or down vote, force the publicans to filibuster even if

it means they have to stay over the weekend,force the the publicans to explain why soldiers shouldn't have equal time at home. Also threaten them with the nuclear options, don't allow irrelevant bills on the floor until Iraq has been dealt with. Those are just a few tactics I've learned from my observation. At least try and if it don't work I will be the first to commend them for their efforts.

[frylock]

41. yep -- save that shit for the special olympics

[rodeodance]

19. Wonder if the commercial break time will calm her down a bit?

[LSK]

20. shes back...

:popcorn:

[Mist]

21. She got so worked up she dropped the "f-bomb". I love her today! nt

[rodeodance]

25. and she said after the break----I said a word i was not suspose to say.

[Exiled in America]

23. I just have one question: how dod the MOVEON thing GET TO THE FLOOR?

Doesn't Harry Reid control the calendar?

That's the one thing I haven't heard her talk about

[LSK]

27. thats what I am wondering, had to be some deal on something

I would hope. But I dont have much faith in Reid.

[rodeodance]

30. All senators have the right to bring up amendments. That is what Kyl did. Last

week the Dems said no cause it was not Germaine. this week he attached it to the Def. appropriations bill----so it was Germaine.

[Inuca]

40. Cornyn, but except that you are correct

And as Cornyn and Kyl are equally appalling and snake-like, you are close to 100% correct. In his speech last night, Kerry mentioned that the agreement was for each side to be allowed 5 amendments, and that the Rs wasted one of them on an ad, showing where there priorities lie.

[Exiled in America]

45. Ahhhhhhh ok, thanks to you both for the info.

[Exiled in America]

44. My understanding was that this wasn't attached to anything... is that wrong?

[LSK]

24. what the hell is she reading? doesnt she know how to use thomas.gov?

[amb123]

28. God Bless Randi! I've had it with brain-dead Democrats!!

REPUBLICANS ARE FASCISTS!

DEMOCRATS ARE BRAIN-DEAD COWARDS!

BAN POLITICAL PARTIES!

SAVE AMERICA NOW!

[MrMickeysMom]

31. I agree... This is not the time to be whiners!

I'll have to play back the hour.

I'm pissed, too. Tired and pissed and yelling, and writing letter to the editor to the post gazette and did I say pissed off, too?

It's Friday, ya baastads.

[LSK]

33. her point is take your outrage against the Republicans

[MrMickeysMom]

36. "take my outrage"? I'm afraid I'll have to figure that one out myself!

I have plenty that I dole out to my Republican Congressman on a routine basis for various and sundry reasons.

[frylock]

43. in other words, try screaming at a wall

[blues90]

38. she needs a chill pill

What's the point in blowing up at callers who are trying to get a grip on all of this crap going on . People are fed up with the performance of the dems and all this crap that keeps getting voted down and out .
