BuzzFlash has an interview with the liberal who is beating Rush Limbaugh in the ratings.
Randi Rhodes, Liberal Talk Show Host - A BuzzFlash Interview
BUZZFLASH: Randi, recently you interviewed Oliver North on your radio show. He stormed off in the middle of the interview. Why?
RANDI RHODES: Well, you'll have to ask him, but when I brought up Iran Contra and the fact that he had been on trial and convicted for crimes against the U.S., he denied that any of it happened. He said that I did not love the Constitution.
He said I was just another liberal liar actually, so I pointed out that he had been tried and convicted for "Altering and destroying documents, accepting an illegal gratuity, and aiding and abetting in obstruction of Congress". He denied that it ever happened. I had in front of us a copy of Independent Counsel Lawrence Walsh's Executive Summary on Iran-Contra as well as a copy of Mr. Walsh's book Firewall, which is a must read for those who need a refresher course on Iran Contra. A conspiracy against Congress. He called Mr. Walsh a liar as well. Just for the record I have spoken to Mr. Walsh often because I have a skulking feeling that history is repeating itself with the reappearance of John Negroponte, Elliot Abrams, and Poindexter, all in heavy government jobs. Mr. Walsh is a proud Republican.
Some will remember that Oliver North's conviction was overturned on appeal because immunized testimony had been used against him. The appeal clearly stated, and Mr. Walsh confirmed, that this in no way had any bearing or effect on Oliver North's factual guilt.
BUZZFLASH: What's the broadcast range of your program? How can readers listen to your show on the Internet?
RHODES: It's a big show in a smallish town. I mean Palm Beach County is well known and well visited, but it's not New York, Chicago, or Boston. So it's a local legend. The great new thing is our website (TheRandiRhodesShow.com). It's free and it's got real streaming audio.
Sometimes I wonder if there are two distinct parties anymore. I know that the Bush administration is about as Republican as I am. Seriously, they are not Republicans. They are globalists. I wish more Republicans realized that. The Bush Boys, The Cheneys, The Rumsfelds, well they are as comfortably at home in Riyadh as they are in Crawford or Cheyenne.
Please dear God let there be a Democratic Party . . . and if there is, my early favorite is never mentioned, but it's Senator Bob Graham. He's on the Intelligence Committee, chaired it up until the 108th and knows everything about 9/11. He has integrity, he's smart, compassionate, and craves the truth. Plus, he has an everyman quality that people will feel comfortable with. I think he would be surprised to know that I feel this way about him, but I do. His are presidential qualities you won't see often. I think Bob Graham may be the real thing.
In two separate meetings I was told "The Rush story." Additionally, I should never expect to be syndicated by Clear Channel because Rush had said he'd just do what advertisers do. He'd go somewhere else.
