Anyone listening to Randi Rhodes?
Weird situation... Check out Drudge to understand what she's talking about.

2. Anyway,
what's Randi saying about it?

To me it seems as though it wasn't a very funny audio skit, and it was silly to run it, and then to spend the next day's show defending yourself on a non-issue.

4. They are mostly laughing about it
You know, I heard that audio clip yesterday and didn't even think twice about it. LOL!

6. I heard it yesterday, too
And the association to Bush just didn't click with me at all. I took it to mean the older gentleman was yelling at someone younger, just someone, no one specific was mentioned and I didn't think insinuated. I certainly didn't make the inference.

7. Manufactured Outrage.
Heard it yesterday, didn't think it was very funny.
But benign compared to ReichWing Radio.

Randi discounted it after the commercial aired with comments "What's with all the killing?"

Today she says that if she broke the law, she will glady go to jail...along with Novak, Coulter, and other right wing hosts.

8. I think she's run this one into the ground.
IMO, she needs to stop talking about it. Almost sounds like she is scared and grovelling.

9. Yep, she should move on
They are just going to keep quoting her out of context.

This thing is done. Move on.

There is a rumor that DeLay is resigning. She should be on that.

She tends to present some rather dubious stuff (rarely, but often enough to impugn credibility) without compellingly presenting the best evidence.

And she has been rude to her best guests when she could have helped more by LETTING THEM SPEAK.

I love Randi too (she loves me more, and I'm thrilled), but I don't take her as seriously as I do more reasoned voices.

Lo siento mucho, mis hystericos.
