Randi, please stop claiming 'privatize profits - socialize losses' as yours

Sorry for being petty on this - but Thom Hartman has been saying this for a year now.

Randi, you really don't invent every phrase...

1. Yeah, she shouldn't claim it as hers

But she definitely should keep saying it. As Thom has. And Mike Malloy has (in his case with a few "bastards" and "sons of bitches" thrown in. :evilgrin: )

3. There's a lot I like about Randi, but she does have the annoying habit

of acting as if only she has original ideas and thoughts, and that if anyone else has the same ideas and thoughts, they must have "stolen" them from her--even if they actually mentioned it first.

She's constantly accusing others of having stolen things from her--including ideas about what stories to cover and guests to have on their shows--implying that everyone else listens to her show and then uses her ideas for their own show. She might be surprised to learn that other people are capable of coming up with original ideas and scheduling their guests without her help.

4. I think I first heard this from either...

Chomsky or Parenti. Either way, it was sometime in the mid 1990's.

This surely goes back WAY further than that.

5. No, but she alone came up with the solution for a Kerry win in 04: that we would

Edited on Fri Oct-10-08 12:12 AM by sofedupwithbush

have to win with such sufficient margin that they couldn't steal it from us. She actually brain-stormed into the wee hours of a morning to come up with that gem. No one else had thought of it until then.

And she alone challenged Biden to call the Bushies what they are, liars.

Yeah, I do get weary of Randi's cloying sense of self-worth. She taught me so much but I can barely listen to her anymore.

6. She's a blowhard on our side, but she's still a blowhard.
