		<description>Most politicians I know should aspire to being a whore. A whore gives something of value for the money, which is not what you generally expect or receive from politicians. Since most of them are lawyers, this old joke is applicable. What&#039;s the difference between a lawyer and a hooker? A hooker will stop screwing you when you&#039;re dead.</description>

		<description>Yeah, a whore isn&#039;t really a great thing to call anyone ever.  It basically undercuts the image of emotional stability (of the attacker, not the victim).  I just don&#039;t see a situation where it&#039;s ever appropriate.

Maybe if you&#039;re husband was sleeping with a prostitute....  but I digress.

I&#039;m not anti-air america, they have a right to exist as much as the next blowhard.  I just wish they were smarter about the way the do things.   You know, be a little more grown up and savvy than they&#039;re right wing equivalents. But they&#039;re not, so I don&#039;t listen.</description>

		<description>Look folks! Like it or not, this is the way it is today. There&#039;s coarse language everywhere, this is an election year, and I am so tired of this choreographed outrage every time a partisan resorts to it.

If you hire a Rhodes or an Imus, etc. etc. to speak or perform before your group, you cannot then profess outrage when they do the job they&#039;re hired to do.

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Sev, he might have been commenting as I was editing - I originally did mention Rush, but changed it to &quot;conservative talk radio hosts&quot; to encompass a bigger scope &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Ah, if that&#039;s the case I apologize for jumping on him about bringing Rush into it then. 

WRT Rhodes, the liberals have an interesting view on what constitutes &quot;hate&quot; speech and such don&#039;t they? Only applies if it is about another liberal, but as pointed out calling for Bush&#039;s assassination and worse comments about him and other conservatives are just fine. 

Just like the old USSR. I remember a story where one comedian was talking with a Russian counterpart, saying in the US we have freedom of speech, we can make jokes about the President. The Russian replied we have freedom of speech too, we can make jokes about your President whenever we like.</description>

		<description>Air America has taken swift action against Ms. Rhodes:

&lt;a href=&quot;http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/04/03/air-america-host-suspended-for-calling-clinton-ferraro-fg-whores/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Air America host suspended for calling Clinton, Ferraro Whores&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;Air America encourages strong opinions about public affairs but does not condone such abusive, ad hominem language by our hosts&quot; reads the statement by Kireker, issued on Thursday.

&lt;/blockquote&gt;

One can only wonder what would have happened had Ms. Rhodes been insulting a Conservative/Republican in her childish rant.  I imagine Air America would have trotted out the &quot;free speech&quot; argument.

In this case, however, it seems Air America has taken action against one of it&#039;s own for biting the hand of it&#039;s masters.</description>

However, alchemist &lt;em&gt;didn&#039;t&lt;/em&gt; address the fact that it was a liberal host (and a popular one at that) who called Hillary and Ferraro both &quot;whores&quot; - something that would normally elicit outrage on a massive scale if it came from a conservative talk show host, whether it was Rush or anyone else.   Alchemist, do you think The Usual Suspects will line up to condemn Rhodes, or will there be, as per the norm, a double standard here?  :-?</description>
