Oh, Randi Rhodes, your hypocrisy makes me smile

[elfs]

I listen to talk radio in real short bursts, maybe ten minutes at a time, while running errands. I rarely drive long distances in my car, and when I do I just flip through the dials looking for fun.

Rhodes seems to be sexually well-plugged in. Even if it's not her kink, she's made jokes about how "[if] you google for 'necrophilia' and 'bestiality' you get more hits on Republican speeches than you do Japanese porn." When she was temporarily relocated to a studio in New York, she said, "The engineers said they wanted me to be happy, to be comfortable. I don't know what it is with this chair. It has arms and gadgets and things. I don't think I've ever seen a chair like this outside of Xtube! All it needs is a strap-on in the middle!"

So, last night, she made me mad when she blasted Carrie Prejean for sexting to her boyfriend. She said, "You know, if you film yourself masturbating to send to your boyfriend to show how much you miss him, and you're enjoying it a little too much, you're sending the wrong message. You should send him a movie of you sitting on your couch, looking bored and eating ice cream!" She went to bemoan Prejean's sexual naivete and harped on her incompetence.

I agree that Prejean is a hypocrite in the first degree, Miss "God Loves Me Because I Hate Gays" who engages in underage sexting (which may ironically, may require her to register as a sex offender) and borrows money for breast augmentation surgery (from the Miss America pageant, no less!) only to miss her payments. But Rhodes cannot simultaneously be that deeply knowledgeable about and even sympathetic toward consenting sexual deviancy (I use that word with no malice whatsoever) and blast other people for doing what young people do.

It's not hate.

...Miss "God Loves Me Because I Hate Gays"

It's amazing that even among intelligent, reasoning adults, when someone states that they think marriage should be between a man and a woman, it so frequently gets characterized as their "hating" gays.

At what point did she ever indicate that she either hated gays, or even disapproved of their union? She only stated (parroting her religious teachings) that her definition of marriage didn't include same-sex unions.

...I guess it's easier to label that as "hate" than to be able to see her point of view and understand it, even if you don't agree with it.
