I wrote about Randi Rhodes yesterday on my post "Vast Right Wing Mugging"... She's the Air America (liberal) talk show host that fell the other night while "walking her dog," though it was widely reported that she was attacked by members of "the right-wing hate machine" in order to silence and intimidate her. Now it turns out she may have just been extremely drunk! Here's a post from the Gawker that gives a possible explanation you won't see in the mainstream media:
"Randi Rhodes was no more assaulted by a right-wing fanatic 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 Ketel One Bloody Marys. She was abusive to the barstaff and generally gross, crass, loud, and pretentious."
Well, that explains why she didn't file a police report for the "mugging" that was widely reported by fellow Liberal host Jon Elliott and all the tin foil hat wearers on the Left-wing blogosphere (though to Elliott's credit, he has apologized for "jumping to conclusions based on an emotional reaction."). It may also explain how Rhodes injured her teeth... most people put their hands out to stop their fall. If you've had 14 bloody marys, you just can't quite react in time to keep from face planting into the sidewalk.
Liberals never ceases to amaze, do they?
