Yeah, I don’t know. Teasing her eight crackpot listeners with Bush assassination fantasies is a genuine outrage, since you worry about them getting ideas. But is it really some heart-stopping shock that a woman who thinks Blackwater started the California wildfires would joke about conservatives being homicidal? And it is, very clearly, a joke — not in the HuffPo ass-covering “satire” way, either, but a bona fide spoonful of thin, left-wing comedy gruel. Taste it and let your tummy know the pleasures of Big Liberal Funny.
I hate the Think Progress/Media Matters fake-outrage game in which partisan points are scored by objecting to humor you’d politely let slide if it came from your own team, so for once I’m going to wave Rhodes on through. Besides, if Hillary comes back to defeat liberal Jesus and his disciples throw a fit and stay home, I want the full range of Jonestown/cult analogies at my disposal. Always thinking ahead, baby.

I serious worry if anything happens to barak (GOD FORBID) we would hear no end of rumors that Bush used the CIA to off him because the left is THAT crazy.
William Amos on February 7, 2008 at 7:31 PM
Ahh yes, the perils of being mis-underestimated.
ColdBore76 on February 7, 2008 at 7:31 PM
It’s MU-Barak, Mubarak Hussein Obama…oh and Vote-ifada 2008!!
ColdBore76 on February 7, 2008 at 7:32 PM
This “LOOK AT ME” moment brought to you courtesy of Air America.
Slublog on February 7, 2008 at 7:33 PM
Clinton would be my starting point in an Obama Assassination plot
ColdBore76 on February 7, 2008 at 7:33 PM
Randi Rhodes is still on the air?
NTWR on February 7, 2008 at 7:33 PM
Don’t drink the Kool-Aid at the convention in Denver.
ninjapirate on February 7, 2008 at 7:35 PM
Give her a pass, she still isn’t allowed to leave the group home without her helmet.
ronsfi on February 7, 2008 at 7:35 PM
the Clintons would undermine Obama the whole election then use his defeat 4 years later to attack the racists who voted against him to get back black support.
William Amos on February 7, 2008 at 7:36 PM
Ah, don’t be so hard on her- she’s just drunk again.
Hollowpoint on February 7, 2008 at 7:39 PM
This from the same people who murder millions of babies in the womb.
SouthernGent on February 7, 2008 at 7:41 PM
The woman’s a raging alcoholic.
Blake on February 7, 2008 at 7:41 PM
Isn’t she the drunk that knocked herself out?
jaime on February 7, 2008 at 7:43 PM
And the victims will be, what, drunken lefties with self-inflicted injuries? Rosie’s safe now, though, thank goodness.
Dusty on February 7, 2008 at 7:46 PM
Randi Rhodes of the notorious ‘moronicus abunditatus’ tribe?
Has her dog tripped her lately?
normsrevenge on February 7, 2008 at 7:50 PM
That was pretty funny.
TheSitRep on February 7, 2008 at 7:55 PM
That Randi Rhodes… isn’t she the woman who got knocked out on a street corner by consuming a bottle of Jack Daniel’s (or whatever her liquor of choice), then blamed it on conservatives?
Yeah Randi, the joke here is you. Keep drinking like that and you’ll end up with a DUI suicide for falling into traffic while inebriated.
BKennedy on February 7, 2008 at 8:02 PM
Yeah, I was hoping that fall straightened out the circuitry in her head, obviously not…
d1carter on February 7, 2008 at 8:04 PM
My guess is that her dog was won over by Mark Lavin and is now on his payroll as a covert agent.
NNtrancer on February 7, 2008 at 8:09 PM
Big Liberal Funny exists. Jon Stewart is simultaneously profoundly wrong, terribly dishonest and laugh out loud funny. Randi Rhodes? eh 2 out 3 is bad in this case.
trubble on February 7, 2008 at 8:10 PM
My other guess is that she not only cracked her teeth, she’s just cracked.
NNtrancer on February 7, 2008 at 8:11 PM
No, obviously done by a “Mitthead”.
chewydog on February 7, 2008 at 8:12 PM
A hotair commenter threw this out there on a Super Tuesday thread. It may have been typical “democrat boogeyman is coming to get my guns” paranoia, but given the mood of the evening, it did sort of make me wonder at first. It was such a random comment and out of the blue. It turned into a pointless testosteronefest over the size of their guns so I let it go. This started it off…
myamphibian on February 7, 2008 at 8:23 PM
Randi Rhodes has to be a transsexual.
Ceroth on February 7, 2008 at 8:30 PM
She’s a hideous/ridiculous/pathetic freakshow. Who the hell cares what she says?
PoliticallyIncorrectSandy on February 7, 2008 at 8:34 PM
Not half as funny as progressives’ display of violent angst when she blacked out on a Sunday afternoon and planted her grill on the sidewalk, but still…
John McCain spent years in a North Vietnamese prison. A prison? That doesn’t make him a hero.
I’ve heard those exact words from an MDS nutter.
Hiney Von Pewps on February 7, 2008 at 8:36 PM
Who is Randi Rhodes?
regal on February 7, 2008 at 8:50 PM
FTFY.
Detestable woman, but that was pretty funny.
SouthernDem on February 7, 2008 at 8:52 PM
Gah, must use preview.
SouthernDem on February 7, 2008 at 8:53 PM
I would say that
Republican mugging in NYslip and fall in NY hurt her brain but she would have to have a brain first!azcop on February 7, 2008 at 8:55 PM
She’s got no game. She had no where else to go.
Montana on February 7, 2008 at 9:01 PM
RandyRandi Rhodes is still on the air. I thought she got fired and put away for alcoholism, drugs, insanity or something…Hmmm… Or was that Britney Spears?
Does this mean ErrAmerica is still on the air too? Didn’t it go bankrupt, at least once? Or did Soros bail it out again.
petefrt on February 7, 2008 at 9:04 PM
Zzzzzzz
Air America hosts saying outrageous things for ratings and free press? You don’t say!!
ZZzzzzzz
Weebork on February 7, 2008 at 9:12 PM
Why the outrage when a crackpot from the left says this. Rudy, Huckabee, and McCain supporters have expressed much the same ideas about the supporters of Mitt but, hey, we are supposed to just shut up and ignore reality because McCain won and party unity is supposedly more important than principle. SCREW THAT!!!!
Saturday is Louisiana’s primary and you wouldn’t believe the vile anti-Romney robocall I got from Huckabee’s mindless minions tonight. It all but suggested that Mitt was a pedophile who personally performed back alley abortions when he wasn’t hanging out at gay bars. I’m only slightly exaggerating.
McCain he assumes my vote because he used dirty tactics and mindless idiots to defeat the social conservative vote. He makes that assumption in error. There is also great talk about his obvious backroom deal with Huckabee. If tonight’s call is any indication it is double the reason to stay home from the polls. It is very clear that you McCain/Huckabee supporters don’t have a clue why many of us are physcally ill tonight.
highhopes on February 7, 2008 at 9:16 PM
AllahPundit… stern, but fair.
AbaddonsReign on February 7, 2008 at 9:19 PM
Randi Rhodes? I saw her on Animal Planet last week. Ceasar was training her how not to trip over her dog.
petefrt on February 7, 2008 at 9:24 PM
Solomonic.
Hiney Von Pewps on February 7, 2008 at 9:26 PM
The same Randi Rhodes who slipped and fell while walking her dog, then claimed some conservative pushed her down? Sorry, but that alone is enough to forfeit ANY pass for her the rest of her life.
RMCS_USN on February 7, 2008 at 9:27 PM
typical moonbat. don’t give them attention, its what they want. you might double the amount of listeners she has from 5 to 10.
therightwinger on February 7, 2008 at 9:37 PM
Stop it, seriously, you’re killing me.. My ribs hurt.
Geronimo on February 7, 2008 at 9:42 PM
She’s a meaningless loony bird. She makes Ron Paul look like Mr. Rogers. I feel sorry for her… I hope she straightens out her life.
cannonball on February 7, 2008 at 9:45 PM
At the end of the show in the wrap-up, Caesar reflected, somewhat apologetically, that it was one of the dumbest dogs he’d ever trained.
petefrt on February 7, 2008 at 9:52 PM
Definitions of irrelevant on the Web:
* having no bearing on or connection with the subject at issue; “an irrelevant comment”; “irrelevant allegations”; Randi Rhodes radio show.
whatthecrap on February 7, 2008 at 9:57 PM
That’s awesome. You’re cracking me up. She is the dope that passed out and said a bunch of Republicans beat her up, right?
Geronimo on February 7, 2008 at 9:59 PM
Wait. Have you guys seen cs deven?
Obama On Romney: An “Ineffective Candidate”
OMAHA, NE — Barack Obama called Mitt Romney’s candidacy “ineffective” on the day that the former MA governor exited the presidential race.
Romney, who dropped out of the race for president today in Washington, said in his exit speech that the GOP must unify and not allow Democrats to allow the country to “surrender to terror.”
“Well my reaction to Mitt Romney’s comment that’s the kind of poorly thought out comment that lead him to drop out,” Obama said during a press avail on his campaign plane. “It’s a classic attempt to appeal to people’s fears that will not work in this campaign. I think that’s part of the reason he was such an ineffective candidate.”
funky chicken on February 7, 2008 at 10:02 PM
Yup, you got it. Last I heard… maybe a year ago… RadioEqualizer was reporting stories of drug problems.
petefrt on February 7, 2008 at 10:10 PM
Just reading that has my gut twisted in a knot.
4shoes on February 7, 2008 at 10:25 PM
Wasn’t she mugged by her dog?
bloggless on February 7, 2008 at 11:06 PM
Randi who?
labrat on February 8, 2008 at 12:32 AM
Were those Mittheads who tried to assassinate her some months back, when she fell and banged herself up and her radio pals blamed it on Bush? We never quite heard how that went down, did we?
Tantor on February 8, 2008 at 12:45 AM
Only a leftard can still appear in public after faking a mugging, and getting found out.
Mazztek on February 8, 2008 at 12:57 AM
Randi Rhodes and the three morons who make up her total listening audience are all cordially invite to visit the great state of Minnesota, where they will have the choice of 10,000 lakes they can go jump in.
pilamaye on February 8, 2008 at 8:24 AM
Now that was funny! You should lighten up and listen to the likes of Limbaugh or Coulter. Sounds about right to me.
Thanks for that, I would have missed it otherwise.
DMeNTe on February 8, 2008 at 3:27 PM
I don’t wanna go to rehab - no, no, no.
