Air America talk show host Randi Rhodes has been suspended by chair Charlie Kireker over some questionable comments she made about presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton and prior sidekick Geraldine Ferraro. What was the word? Well, it starts with "wh" and rhymes with "door". Use your imagination.
Did she use good judgment? Probably not. Should she be suspended? Absolutely not. This has nothing to do with her but everything to do with Air America's C.Y.A. She said it in a comedy club, for crying out loud.
If you go into a comedy club, you know what you're getting into. If you listen to Air America, you know what you're getting into. Mr. Kireker, you should be ashamed of yourself. But I guess you'll be getting your bonus. Wait, selling out for money would make you a, oh wait, let's not go there.
This is part of what is wrong with our current value system and our obsession with the disease of political correctness. If we're going to be serious about it, why are people still defending Pastor Wright after what he said in church, in front of children?
Why are rappers allowed to profit by using the "N" word and advocating killing cops? There's nothing correct about political correctness. It's just that simple.

Pennsylvania Primary Critical to Obama, Clinton
As the Pennsylvania primary draws near on April 22, the focus is on Hillary rising in the polls against Obama. According to a March 20 Franklin & Marshall poll, the breakdown is:
February - Hillary: 44%, Obama: 37%
March - Hillary: 51%, Obama:35%
Where is the difference coming from? Obama has remained relatively stable while Clinton has risen somewhat. Most of her higher numbers are the result of the ranks of the undecided and "other" respondents shrinking.
The poll reports that the issues that have driven the change are not the current controversial Barak and Pastor Wright revelations, but solid domestic issues. The respondents are more interested in Clinton's focus on the economy and healthcare than Obama's "get out of Iraq no matter what the consequence" stance.
Still, April 22 is still a long way off, politically speaking. Any number of things could happen betwixt now and then to further polarize the Dems. If one or the other manages a landslide, it could push momentum in that direction.
But if remains this close in Pennsylvania and subsequent primaries, a bloodbath at the Democratic National Convention is a very real possibility.
