    Transcript of Randi Rhodes 4/10/08 Larry King Live


    Randi Rhodes went on Larry King Live to set the record straight on her "suspension" from Air America, her quitting the quasi-liberal network and her triumphant move to Nova M Radio:

    (COMMERCIAL BREAK)

    KING: One of the more popular radio hosts in America is Randi Rhodes, formerly with Air America radio. She and Air America have parted ways in the aftermath of controversial comments she made about Hillary Clinton and Geraldine Ferraro.

    They suspended her earlier this month, and now they released this statement declaring that Randi has chosen to terminate her employment. It also says the companies wishing her well.

    Did you quit?

    RHODES: You know, Larry, my view is that the contract terminated, because of their unwavering position was if I didn't amend my contract to take away a right that I had, that they would never give me back my microphone. This thing was really about them wanting to change my contract, and I --

    KING: From what to what?

    RHODES: They didn't have the right to fire me. And we got new owners, because it's Thursday, so we had knew owners at Air America for a change. And they took a look at the contract after they bought the thing, and they said, we can't fire you? And I said, well, if I die, or if I become 100 percent disabled, whatever. They knew what the terms were. And they said, we want to amend it.

    I said, I don't. They said they did. And they decided to do market research by taking a stand-up comedy routine that I did on a Saturday night in San Francisco in a club that was at least two weeks old, and they took a little bit of it, and they, you know, said to the press, look, Randi, you know, uses the F-word, and the W-word, or whatever, and, you know --

    KING: And it was a comedy routine, correct?

    RHODES: Stand-up comedy, Larry. KING: Let's look at the comments that got you into hot water with some of the people, basically describing Hillary and Geraldine as F-word. This is in San Francisco.

    (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

    RHODES: What a whore Geraldine Ferraro is. I want to see her have to stand beside her husband at one of those mandatory I'm a whore press conferences. Mr. Ferraro should have to stand next to his wife. Hillary is a big (EXPLETIVE DELETED) whore too, OK. You know why she's a big (EXPLETIVE DELETED) whore? Because her deal is always, read the fine print, (EXPLETIVE DELETED).

    (END VIDEO CLIP)

    RHODES: Even I can't understand it.

    KING: I don't. In retrospect, was this purely a comedy routine, or, in retrospect, do you think you owe apologies?

    RHODES: It's absolutely 100 percent pure stand-up, Larry. It was a Saturday night in San Francisco in a club. It was me on a stage with a microphone doing stand-up. It was an evening with Randi Rhodes. It was brought to them by sponsors and Green 960, which is a Clear Channel station. After the event, I got nothing but thank you letters. That night, I signed 500 autograph autographs, and --

    KING: Randi, I have to cut you because we have a breaking news story. One quick thing, you'll be back on the radio next week?

    RHODES: Yes, back with the radio elite, and thank you to Clear Channel and all the affiliates that rallied around me.

    KING: We'll bring you back next week, Randi. We have a big story that is continuing to break, and we'll get right to it right after this.

    Barack Obama's October, 2002 Speech

    Good afternoon. Let me begin by saying that although this has
    been billed as an anti-war rally, I stand before you as someone
    who is not opposed to war in all circumstances. The Civil War
    was one of the bloodiest in history, and yet it was only through
    the crucible of the sword, the sacrifice of multitudes, that we
    could begin to perfect this union, and drive the scourge of
    slavery from our soil. I don't oppose all wars.

    My grandfather signed up for a war the day after Pearl Harbor
    was bombed, fought in Patton's army. He saw the dead and
    dying across the fields of Europe; he heard the stories of
    fellow troops who first entered Auschwitz and Treblinka.
    He fought in the name of a larger freedom, part of that arsenal of
    democracy that triumphed over evil, and he did not fight in
    vain. I don't oppose all wars.

    After September 11th, after witnessing the carnage and
    destruction, the dust and the tears, I supported this
    administration's pledge to hunt down and root out those who
    would slaughter innocents in the name of intolerance, and I
    would willingly take up arms myself to prevent such tragedy
    from happening again. I don't oppose all wars. And I know that
    in this crowd today, there is no shortage of patriots, or of
    patriotism.

    What I am opposed to is a dumb war. What I am opposed to
    is a rash war. What I am opposed to is the cynical attempt by
    Richard Perle and Paul Wolfowitz and other armchair,
    weekend warriors in this administration to shove their own
    ideological agendas down our throats, irrespective of the costs
    in lives lost and in hardships borne.

    What I am opposed to is the attempt by political hacks like
    Karl Rove to distract us from a rise in the uninsured, a rise in
    the poverty rate, a drop in the median income - to distract us
    from corporate scandals and a stock market that has just gone
    through the worst month since the Great Depression. That's
    what I'm opposed to. A dumb war. A rash war. A war based
    not on reason but on passion, not on principle but on politics.
    Now let me be clear - I suffer no illusions about Saddam
    Hussein. He is a brutal man. A ruthless man. A man who
    butchers his own people to secure his own power. He has
    repeatedly defied UN resolutions, thwarted UN inspection
    teams, developed chemical and biological weapons, and
    coveted nuclear capacity. He's a bad guy. The world, and the
    Iraqi people, would be better off without him.

    But I also know that Saddam poses no imminent and direct
    threat to the United States, or to his neighbors, that the Iraqi
    economy is in shambles, that the Iraqi military a fraction of its
    former strength, and that in concert with the international
    community he can be contained until, in the way of all petty
    dictators, he falls away into the dustbin of history. I know that
    even a successful war against Iraq will require a US
    occupation of undetermined length, at undetermined cost,
    with undetermined consequences. I know that an invasion
    of Iraq without a clear rationale and without strong
    international support will only fan the flames of the Middle
    East, and encourage the worst, rather than best, impulses
    of the Arab world, and strengthen the recruitment arm of
    Al Qaeda. I am not opposed to all wars. I'm opposed to
    dumb wars.

    So for those of us who seek a more just and secure world for
    our children, let us send a clear message to the President
    today. You want a fight, President Bush? Let's finish the fight
    with Bin Laden and Al Qaeda, through effective, coordinated
    intelligence, and a shutting down of the financial networks that
    support terrorism, and a homeland security program that
    involves more than color-coded warnings. You want a fight,
    President Bush?

    Let's fight to make sure that the UN inspectors can do their
    work, and that we vigorously enforce a non-proliferation treaty,
    and that former enemies and current allies like Russia
    safeguard and ultimately eliminate their stores of nuclear
    material, and that nations like Pakistan and India never use the
    terrible weapons already in their possession, and that the arms
    merchants in our own country stop feeding the countless wars
    that rage across the globe. You want a fight, President Bush?

    Let's fight to make sure our so-called allies in the Middle East,
    the Saudis and the Egyptians, stop oppressing their own
    people, and suppressing dissent, and tolerating corruption and
    inequality, and mismanaging their economies so that their
    youth grow up without education, without prospects, without
    hope, the ready recruits of terrorist cells. You want a fight,
    President Bush? Let's fight to wean ourselves off Middle East
    oil, through an energy policy that doesn't simply serve the
    interests of Exxon and Mobil. Those are the battles that we
    need to fight. Those are the battles that we willingly join. The
    battles against ignorance and intolerance. Corruption and
    greed. Poverty and despair.

    The consequences of war are dire, the sacrifices
    immeasurable. We may have occasion in our lifetime to once
    again rise up in defense of our freedom, and pay the wages of
    war. But we ought not -- we will not -- travel down that hellish
    path blindly. Nor should we allow those who would march off
    and pay the ultimate sacrifice, who would prove the full
    measure of devotion with their blood, to make such an awful
    sacrifice in vain.

    Bhutto Reports To BBC That Bin Laden Murdered



    Watch this video. Click on the link below.

    During an interview with David Frost of the BBC, Benazir Bhutto casually mentions, as if Frost knows as well, that Bin Laden had been murdered. It was said as if it was a given. What does the rest of the world know that we in the US don't know? My female intuition says a lot more...
