And You’re a Big F’in Whore Too!

So, Air America host Randi Rhodes was suspended for calling both Geraldine Ferraro and Hillary Clinton big fucking whores. Obviously the suspension is a suitable reprimand, but I wonder if it’s because she called these two political figures whores or because she threw in the fucking? It’s really kind of hard to tell.

Here is what I find the most disturbing about this tirade. You see, if there is one thing that this history-making election is proving again and again, it is just how quick women are to use the same words to put down each other that men use to put down our entire sex. Not all men, mind you, but some.

The thing that I find second most disturbing about this tirade is the use of the word ‘whore’. I’m confused, because I’m not sure what telling people to “read the fine print” has to do with being a whore. I thought a whore was something else entirely.

I guess we’ve all learned something.
