Gee, why doesn’t the Left resonate with Americans?

For those who thought Crackerquiddick was a mere rhetorical stumble instead of a revealing moment for hard-Left liberal elites, Randi Rhodes comes along today to remove all doubt. According to reports, she led off her Nova-M radio show today with an explanation for Hillary Clinton’s big win in Pennsylvania last night. It didn’t come from her hard work in voter turnout or her better performance in last Wednesday’s debate. No — Hillary dove into the racial dumpster to get a 10-point win:
The Clinton campaign describes Hillary’s voters as older, white, and undereducated. Or as we called them in my neighborhood: white trash.
According to MyDD diarist Ryeland, Rhodes followed this trenchant trashy analysis by accusing Hillary of being elitist, running off of her own money for the Presidency. Of course, Rhodes lost her job at Air America three weeks ago for calling Hillary and Geraldine Ferraro “f***ing whores”. Here’s the video on that incident, and it’s decidedly NSFW:
So Hillary is both a whore and an elitist? That’s a neat, er, trick. Who is she, Sidney Biddle Barrows?
And the hard Left wonders why they lose elections. It’s not because they’re misunderstood. It’s because we understand their hatred all too well. I’m just hoping that Nova-M keeps her on the air, because she’s so useful for anthropological study of the extreme liberal elite. (via TMV)

I always thought the phrase “white trash” revealed racism against blacks, as if the word “trash” by itself would imply a black person without the qualifier “white”.
mikeyboss on April 23, 2008 at 5:21 PM
Ed, did you break the interweb again?
This is the only thread showing in the right column.
Good story, tho.
shibumiglass on April 23, 2008 at 5:21 PM
The problem is that most people that vote democratic don’t even know who Randi Rhodes is.(what an appropriate name btw) They just hear the MSM repeat that the Republicans are just warmongering rich coporate tools and the Democrats are looking out for the regular guy. My 89yo neighbor worships the ground Dan Blather walked on.
brtex on April 23, 2008 at 5:23 PM
Apparently you are quite the whore connoisseur, eh Ed.
Zetterson on April 23, 2008 at 5:23 PM
It is amazing how undisciplined these crackpots are. If they could keep the lid on thier lunacy during a campaign they might actually me elected to something.
Which, I suppose, is what Barack Ocrybama is trying to do now.
EJDolbow on April 23, 2008 at 5:25 PM
Jeez – talk about “white guilt”. Maybe she needs to see a shrink to work it out.
DerKrieger on April 23, 2008 at 5:27 PM
Of course she’s an ignoramus, and the write-up is spot on about the libs, but
…is not so tricky.
Hillary is an elitist political whore, if the world has ever known one.
Real whores should be made legitimate, sent to the doctor once a month, made to pay taxes, and left out of politics, unless a candidate gets caught with one.
Entelechy on April 23, 2008 at 5:28 PM
Spitzer paid big bucks for elite whores, but Im guessing they didn’t look like Hillary.
Chuck Schick on April 23, 2008 at 5:32 PM
She’s a hog, but the real idiots paid to listen to this.
Hening on April 23, 2008 at 5:33 PM
The name of another one came immediately to my mind, name of Pelosi. Come to think of it, there’s gobs of them sitting to the left of the aisle in the Senate Chamber.
fogw on April 23, 2008 at 5:33 PM
Randi Rhodes…hmm, she’s a drunken, foulmouthed, stumblebum, that spells the name Randi with an I.
We call that white trash where I come from.
SuperCool on April 23, 2008 at 5:35 PM
The left wing talk sells hate, right wing sells hope. All depends on how you look at life.
TroubledMonkey on April 23, 2008 at 5:36 PM
Very well stated.
wise_man on April 23, 2008 at 5:36 PM
Nova-M. I should know what this is?
Jim Treacher on April 23, 2008 at 5:36 PM
The left is made up of hatred and racism.
jdun on April 23, 2008 at 5:38 PM
Isn’t a nova a giant ball of flaming gas that explodes and spews everywhere? It suits her.
ReubenJCogburn on April 23, 2008 at 5:40 PM
Sidney Biddle Barrows??!?!?
Thanks for getting me to clean my computer screen today.
kbanaian on April 23, 2008 at 5:43 PM
Hope!fully liberal birth control.
mred on April 23, 2008 at 5:43 PM
Speaking of white trash, I would say that is pretty much what my dear old Grandma would have called someone with a mouth like hers.
Terrye on April 23, 2008 at 5:44 PM
Rhodes doesn’t offened me. The fact that she has a market does.
Limerick on April 23, 2008 at 5:48 PM
The older white women who vote tend to be very educated in what the candidates stand for. So, I can only advise Ms. Rhodes that this may be a time for her to consider admitting herself into rehab. It’s long overdue…
Blake on April 23, 2008 at 5:51 PM
So is this the type of girl they say you should never bring home to Mother? What a little sweetheart.
chief on April 23, 2008 at 5:59 PM
I say Mizzz Rhodes is the fly buzzing around the “White trash” trying to lay her eggs.
SouthernGent on April 23, 2008 at 6:00 PM
Truer words were never written
Ltmousseman on April 23, 2008 at 6:09 PM
Judging by the picture, Randi probably needs to lay off the carmel frappuchinos for a while…
jon1979 on April 23, 2008 at 6:20 PM
I’d take her home to my Mom. And my Mom could slap the taste outta her mouth.
BigWyo on April 23, 2008 at 6:20 PM
What a potty mouth! ugh
I’m a republican so I didn’t vote for Hillary BUT I know women who did. They aren’t trash as this broad suggests.
These ladies all said though was..”if Obama wins the nomination, I’m voting for John McCain.”
I’m hoping Obama does win the nomination, since that means McCain will win the election.
Does the democrat party not realize that Clinton supporters will NOT vote for Obama in the general election?
becki51758 on April 23, 2008 at 6:30 PM
Randi Rhodes is just another example of a Emotional Thinking poseur with insufficient intelligence to compose and articulate a coherent sentence without stooping to the use of vulgar, vitriolic, ad hominem rants.
SeniorD on April 23, 2008 at 6:36 PM
Heh. With a sister Trixi.
misterpeasea on April 23, 2008 at 6:37 PM
Someone on Elliot Spitzer’s “to do” list?
irishspy on April 23, 2008 at 6:40 PM
Randi Rhodes is elitist trashspeak for Horny Trails.
Or slime trails, depending on which directon she is slithering.
profitsbeard on April 23, 2008 at 6:50 PM
Which pretty much makes them racist trash. Name a single issue on which Obama and Hillary are distinguishable.
freevillage on April 23, 2008 at 7:00 PM
This is why conservative radio is thriving and liberal radio goes bankrupt. Many liberals can’t express their opinions without being nasty. The average American doesn’t like that.
SoulGlo on April 23, 2008 at 7:30 PM
By the looks of her, this is undoubtedly an individual who knows all about filth and trash — of every possible color.
AZCoyote on April 23, 2008 at 7:35 PM
Plus which, the letters in “Randi Rhodes” can be rearranged to spell HORNIER DADS.
mikeyboss on April 23, 2008 at 7:38 PM
…and NO HARDER IDS.
mikeyboss on April 23, 2008 at 7:40 PM
I’ve said it – here – at least 100 times, so here’s 101: as long as liberals keep talking, as long as they’ve got their Michael Moore’s making movies, their Randi Rhodes speaking her mind, their Michelle Obama’s spilling dark liberal secrets, and their Code Pink showing exactly what liberalism is …
… conservatives will never have much to worry about.
All I ever fear is that one day, one of them will rise from the muck and realize that they’d get a lot further if they’d keep their collective traps shut.
When they get quiet, I’ll get scared. Until then, they’re just too !@#%ing stupid to figure out how the world works.
See, e.g., the current presidential election. When McCain wins, I hope he sends a nice holiday ham and some gift cards to Starbucks to Bill Clinton and Michelle Obama.
Just keep talking, liberal weenies. Just. Keep. Talking.
Professor Blather on April 23, 2008 at 8:51 PM
You forgot the sarc tag, I hope.
fourstringfuror on April 23, 2008 at 10:30 PM
Excellent.
baldilocks on April 23, 2008 at 10:59 PM
Her teeth look pretty good. She should give a hat tip to her dentist, maybe buy him a beer at an Irish pub.
DFCtomm on April 24, 2008 at 12:22 AM
Courtesan is, I believe, the term for which you are looking.
Dr. Charles G. Waugh on April 24, 2008 at 1:10 AM
Eating their own…….. now that gives an unpleasant virtual image……
“Hey Randy Rhodes, may God Bless you and help you find the Peace that you so dearly need…..”
What? You expected me to drop to her level?
Seven Percent Solution on April 24, 2008 at 1:50 AM
Is Randi tanked or does she always sound like that?
Ares on April 24, 2008 at 5:21 AM
Isn’t this the kind of speech Hitler used to gain power? Jonah Goldberg was too right. Liberal Fascism is on the march…..
