      Forgive me for being like a right winger. I know making insulting remarks about a woman's looks is childish but Rush and Rose and the rest have been doing it so much I can't help myself.

      This picture reminds me of Rose.

      I'm not sure who Rose is holding in her talons.

        Not to pile on, but she does look like fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch Ann Coulter missed on the way down. A real face for radio, that one.

          Quinn, Mary, Savage, Coulter and Rush all belong to the ugly club but it's what come out of their mouths that enhances it.

      Again with the free speech crap. Why do these morons think the First Amendment has any application in this case? These companies are not the government and they are not making a law abridging Becky's freedom to speak.

        Because these deep thinkers believe freedom of speech = freedom from any criticism or consequences of that speech.

        I do have one question I believe is pertinent: Who the heck is Rose Tennent? (My guess is, Reich-wing fifth-stringer, lower on the depth chart than Tammy Bruce. How many blowholes are on vacation this week?)

          She is the co-host of The Warroom Quinn and Rose. This is a show, which originates out of Pittsburgh and has a couple of affiliates carry it. It is also on XM American Talk. If someone is looking for the far right conspiracies theory, it is the show to listen to.

      I think its time to go after Quinn's advertisers. Anyone have the number for Cletus's Roadkill Grill?

      Rose Tennent's top 3 turn-offs currently include; filtered cigarettes, last call, and choosing not to advertise on Beck's show.

      Of course, it has nothing to do with all the people who complained to the advertisers about Beck's hate and ignorance.

      I'd say that Geico were idiots for sponsoring crazy-ass Beck's show in the first place, but it seems as though they may have come to their senses. If you offend people, you may end up paying for it. Oh, if this is a violation of Beck's freedom of speech, then why was it O.K. to boycott the Dixie Chicks for criticizing Bush, it must have been because it was a Repug being criticized and you just can't do that in this country.

      If this chick is so stupid she doesn't even know what GEICO sells why would anyone listen to her. My dog knows that answer to that question and recognizes the damn gecko.

      All you need to know about Radio Rose is that she gets all tingley when she is around Seannie Hannity. Plus, as an extra added attraction, she claims to be a Christian but hates anything Islamic. But the worse part is that she allows her young son to listen to these haters. He'll probably make the lead story one night in Pittsburgh because he was doing gods' work and his mommy told him to do it. And Uncle Jim used to rock him on his knee and tell him stories.

      Quinn and Rose are ignorant haters and deserve to be scorned at every opportunity but they like it. Ergo, the ignorant part.

        Yeah, but what she lacks in both vocal and physical appeal, she makes up for by being completely stupid and ignorant.

      All things considered, she is even more repulsive than the creep she sidekicks for, and that is saying a lot. They should be glad I am not a listener, because I would probably be telling the station I would be boycotting their advertisers, too.

      I already talked about her on youtube.com. She rants and so does her co-host. Are they even nationwide with their show? Oh they are just local! I never hear them. Good!

      She looks like she has had way too many, covered it up with plastic surgery, and re-invented herself unsuccessfully as Rosie the Riveter.

      That's her opinion. In my opinion corporations are stupid to pay their CEO's $20 million a year. In both cases it's really up to the company.
