CoOlDiGgY Woman of the Week

Randi Rhodes

Ms. Rhodes, boobie-bouncing liberal talk-show hostess, wins the honor this week. And just under the wire. Ms. Rhodes candidly revealed that she has been the victim of left-wing censorship. And not just from her former employer Air America but throughout corporate Leftdom. She exposed numerous examples of left-on-left censorship and eloquently pointed out how the real left is being squeezed out by big money interests.

Ms. Rhodes' catalyst was an incident that happened earlier this week. The allegedly liberal MSNBC (brought to you by tax-dodging defense contractor GE with its 3 hours a day of Joe Scarborough and a ubiquitous Pat Buchanan on every program) fired new host Donny Deutsch for a slight against Keith Olbermann that was so slight that Olbermann wasn't even offended. But he was fired nonetheless. Ms. Rhodes, herself, was fired for speaking ill of Hilary Clinton during the 2008 Democratic Presidential Primary.

We here at CoOlDiGgY have been noticing this quiet cold war between the corporate/politically-connected, big-money ESTABLISHMENT left (Huffington Post, MSNBC, DailyKos) and the GRASSROOTS left. Thank you, Ms. Rhodes, for standing up and showing that the left, just like the right (see ESTABLISHMENT Right vs. Ron Paul et al), has those who would co-opt it and make it ugly.
