Randi Rhodes: Mitt Romney Would Set Fire to His Hair and the Hair of His Wife and Kids to Win the White House

Liberal talker Randi Rhodes on Wednesday insisted Mitt Romney would be desperate enough to do anything to be president, despite his claim that he wouldn't light his hair on fire to be president.

"Mitt Romney would light his hair on fire if it meant he could win the presidency, okay," said Rhodes. He'd torch the whole family. "He would light his hair on fire, set fire to his opponents' hair, the hair of his followers, he would set Ann's hair on fire, his boys' hair on fire." She said "He would fly a penis-shaped NASCAR over the Grand Canyon with his hair on fire and his dog strapped to the roof if it meant he could win the presidency."

Then she turned her fire at Rush Limbaugh: "So I don't know why Rush Limbaugh is so incensed over the fact that Mitt Romney won't pander. If you look up pandering in the dictionary you will see a picture of Mitt Romney with his hair on fire next to it."

Also on Wednesday came this strange exchange from Geraldo Rivera with a producer on his WABC radio show. It's amazing just how crazy Democrats get when you say "Democrat" as an adjective modifier. It's somehow the cheapest of cheap shots:

GERALDO: I don't like when they say 'Democrat' instead of 'Democratic.' It's just like ...

SIDEKICK NOAM LADEN: It sounds a little strange, right?

GERALDO: ... It's not only strange but it just sounds like he's trying to do it just to jab 'em. I think it's like kind of a cheap shot, the Democrat Congress. It's like, I don't know ...

LADEN: On purpose, you mean, yeah?

GERALDO: ... like the Jerk-Off Congress. Should I say that? Uh, OK, I did, sorry, I apologize ladies and gentlemen.

Democrat equals "jerk-off"? Geraldo must still have his hero Bill Clinton on the brain.

So Randi Rhodes is saying Mitt would set his hair on fire to win the presidency, huh?

Okay, Randi, just so we get all your bona fides straight, remind us again how, back in 2007, you beat the sidewalk into submission with your face and then blamed "right-wingers" for mugging you?

Randi hasn't seen hair on fire since the last time she went after cooties with a toothpick.

Don't know if she ever forgave Bill Maher for that.

"It's amazing just how crazy Democrats get when you say "Democrat" as an adjective modifier."

Which is of course why guys like Neal Boortz say it all the time. It's one of the few little revenges we can get against these vapid talking heads who talk about Republicans being hateful just before launching into tirades where they wish humiliation, torture, and death upon us.

Another deliberate and prolific liar of the left.

Geraldo is, notoriously, one of those, "Oops, I already rang the bell on that one, didn't I? Sorry about that" people. Pure cowardice.

Submitted by djwolf12 on Sun, 03/04/2012 - 11:50pm.

You must have fell off the wagon. What you are implying about Mitt Romney is just like saying that Obama would test the limits of bombing NYC Police headquarters and the pentagon to get the white house because of his relationship with Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dourne. That is rediculous, proposterous and you should know better.

Randi Rhodes needs to resign immediately. If she doens't, then boycott ALL of her sponsors.

First off...

Submitted by ljacone on Mon, 03/05/2012 - 10:16am.

...there is no such thing as "a... NASCAR." NASCAR is a motorsports governing body, not the general name of the racecars used in the races they sanction. That would be a "stock car," or if you want to get specific a "Cup Series car." Calling a stock car a "NASCAR" is a sign of contempt for us poor morons in flyover country, as well as an indicator of elitism-bred ignorance.

As for the rest of it, who is Randi Rhodes? And why should I care about what she thinks about Mitt Romney? And why is Romney a viable target but someone like Obama, who has ties to the notorious Chicago political machine, is not?
