(Newser) – A right-wing radio host's rant on Tuesday got nasty—even for talk radio. Andrew Wilkow of Sirius/XM, filling in on the syndicated "Mark Levin Show," called MSNBC's Rachel Maddow a "nice little boy" and Perez Hilton a "vile sodomite," Salon reports. "It just sounds so good to hear in my headphones— vile sodomite," Wilkow said of Hilton. The cable anchor and gossip blogger are gay.

In his attack on Maddow, Wilkow called her "Keith Olbermann's nephew" and said, "You, the idiot taxpayer, are paying the salary of that nice little boy." Wilkow also went after White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, who has won GOP admiration recently, the Huffington Post points out.

I think Rachel's tongue gets in the way of her brain - she was crass when making the jokes about the tea bagging - BUT - her sexual orientation is out of bounds. She's as much as an entertainer as Oberman and Rush: Although Rush has better news links and is less biased than R & O. They all sound like Don Rickles rejects. Add Chris to the pot and close the cover.

What is this guy stuck in the 5th grade? Insulting someone based on ones personal belief, seems to be ok to do except toward Miss California. So this guy and the rest of the GOP can insult someone for being gay but no one can insult Miss CA for being anti-gay? WTF kind pf world do i live in? Did I wake up in alternate reality?
