Randis' Randy Rant

Got her suspended . . . indefinitely. There an interesting article dealing with this here. But it's not the article so much as the comments made after the article. A few thoughts on some of the comments:


One person welcomed us to gulag in that criticize the Clinton's and get in trouble. It's happened before, hasn't it? But, another person indicated that had the same thing been pulled on Obama they'd be out of a job right away. As it is now, Randi is just on suspension and, I assume, getting a paycheck. Interesting.

Many people offered support for Randi and pointing out that the press has been soft on Hillary. Huh. I thought it was Obama they've been soft on. Supports also pointed out that her . . . blathering . . . wasn't a part of her radio show. It was comedy for crissakes! Wasn't Michael Richards trying to be funny?

The most interesting comment made by the Randi followers is how intelligent she is. Really? Well, her smart mouth sure got her in a heap of trouble now, didn't it? Just how smart is it as a radio host/personality to mouth off like she did? More than that though, she's not funny. Intelligent people . . . . intelligent comedians don't have to stoop to that level to get a laugh. Listen to Dennis Miller. He's funny . . . and intelligent. Sinbad. He's funny and doesn't stoop to that kind of language. No, in fact, I think those people who stoop to those levels lack the brain power to invoke laughter through any intelligent means. I saw a Rosanne stand up ONCE, and only for about 15 minutes. First thing she's says . . . "F*CK YOU!" That's funny? It didn't get any better so I quickly turned her off . . . as she did me.

Trust me, I get a kick out of anyone slamming Hillary . . . or Obama, or exposing them for what they are. But this goes beyond a comedy routine. It's low, classless, and not very smart.
