Was Randi Rhodes Mugged by 14 Bloody Marys?
News Busters ^ | October 17, 2007 - 10:24 ET | P.J. Gladnick

As reported here in NewsBusters yesterday, liberals immediately began blaming conservatives for the supposed mugging of Air America talk show host Randi Rhodes on a New York street. After much blame cast in the leftwing blogosphere against evil rightwing muggers as the culprits, it turned out that there was no mugging in the first place. Supposedly it was just an accident.

However, there is now some interesting speculation as to just what caused Randi's non-mugging. Here is an interesting observation made by commentator GBW over at Gawker.com in a post amusingly titled, Was Talk Show Host Randi Rhodes Jumped By 14 Ketel Ones?:

"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 Ketel One Bloody Marys. 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."

Certainly not ‘hot’ but I don’t think she’s that bad looking.

Everyone must understand that the kneejerk reaction from the secular socialists that she was “attacked by a conservative” is illustrative of their thought processes.

They’d LOVE to physically attack and harm a conservative show host.

Our first reaction was a reference to “a conservative is a liberal who’s been mugged by reality”, and hoping for a conversion.

Sometimes excessive jocularity is called for, don’t you think?

LOL, wait until you see the un-airbrushed version, when she sticks her hair behind those mudflaps on the side of head. I think she could blow out the candles on her birthday cake by just shaking her head “no”.
