Don't believe anything you hear on Air America about Randi Rhodes...
I’m sure that you have heard about the purported injuries sustained by alleged “Radio Personality” blowhard Randi Rhodes, host of a waste of radio frequency, that leftist cesspool, “Air America.”
Fellow Air America liberal scam “host” Jon Elliott claimed on air that Rhodes had been mugged while walking her dog, Simon, on Sunday night. Elliot, who said Rhodes lost several teeth in the "attack" commented about a possible conspiracy.
"Is this an attempt by the right-wing hate machine to silence one of our own?" he asked on the air, "Are we threatening them? Are they afraid that we're winning? Are they trying to silence, intimidate us?"
Well, Jon Elliott, once again, you are wrong.
A police source said Rhodes never filed a report and never claimed to be the victim of a mugging. Cops from Manhattan's 17th Precinct called her attorney, who told them Rhodes was not a victim of a crime.
Like most evil liberal fairy tales, this epic drama contains elements of gross distortion. Rhodes wasn’t mugged, robbed, or even tripped while chasing her pooch. Rhodes was just ****-faced drunk and fell flat on her face, causing a big trip to the dentist. The whole sordid scene was witnessed by “GBH” Editor of the New York City media rag "Gawker”… which is hardly a right wing publication.
GBH reports:
“Randi Rhodes was no more assaulted by a right-wing fanatic on Monday than Dick Cheney was. She, in fact, fell down and injured her teeth outside of a Midtown Irish bar at around 6 o'clock Sunday evening after downing about fourteen (14) Ketel One Bloody Mary’s. She was abusive to the barstaff and generally gross, crass, loud, and pretentious. I genuinely hope she has a speedy recovery. I never would've disclosed this (I believe that anyone should feel free to hang out at Irish pubs at any time and not be concerned about someone publishing their behavior) if Air America hadn't grossly interpreted a drunken indiscretion and allowed it to be morphed into some bullish rhetoric on air. Whatever journalistic integrity the station may have ever had is now completely compromised. The manipulation of the public diminishes any cause, whether just or fabricated.”
Two lessons in all of this:
1. Don’t believe a damn thing you hear on “Air America” radio…
2. Don’t go out drinking with Randi Rhodes
