I'm trying to figure out why this woman still has a career. Why??
First of all, given Randi Rhodes' line of work, isn't criticizing a woman for being too opinionated a bit hypocritical? I surely don't begrudge anyone that. I'm opinionated and I know it. It's not a problem unless you start doing the kinds of things the left routinely does: try to silence and intimidate those who disagree with you, smear and insult those with different opinions, etc. Yet here is Randi Rhodes not only calling Sarah Palin too opinionated, but she accuses her of sleeping with teenage boys!
What in the hell is wrong with this woman!? And who listens to her? I just don't understand how it is that anyone gives her the time of day. You've got her POW smear against John McCain. She faked a mugging to cover up the fact that she was drunk (although she always sounds like she's hammered to me). She's joked repeatedly about assassinating President Bush. She doesn't reserve her vitriol for the right only, though -- her classiness was also directed towards Hillary Clinton and Geraldine Ferraro, whom she called "f*cking whores", among other things.
And now she's launched a despicable smear against Sarah Palin with absolutely no basis in reality and no evidence to back it up -- anything to make her look bad, right? Who cares how baseless an accusation it is? I don't think there's a single low Randi Rhodes won't stoop to.
Yet for some reason, she continues to have a career in the public eye. I'm not sure if there is anyone who has less class and is more hate-filled than Randi Rhodes. She embodies everything that is wrong with the Left, yet she's embraced by them. It says a lot.

She's just trying to shock and perpetuate her career. It's hard for me to get worked up over "formula", when it takes me a nano second to forget all about her again.

Why does she have a career? Are you serious? This sort of thing *gives* her a career. She certainly has no other discernible talent, but this gives her some publicity and makes her a darling to the radical left (i.e. drooling imbeciles). That they are raving idiots should prove to be no surprise to anyone here. Joking about assassinating the president and accusing someone of child molestation is just par for the course.

Could it be that she is covering her own tracks for making that baseless and false accusation? Sure looks that way. By accusing someone else of such a heinous crime, she is PROBABLY guilty of doing such a thing.

Whats even more significant is what the candidates are saying. For instance its just been learned that McCaign/Palin lied about:
1. Visiting troop in Iraq - never happened!
2. Palins "trip of a lifetime" to Ireland - she never left the airport, the plane merely stopped there to re-fuel.

This is what Sarah Palin herself said:
GIBSON: Did you ever travel outside the country prior to your trip to Kuwait and Germany last year?
PALIN: Canada, Mexico, and then, yes, that trip, that was the trip of a lifetime to visit our troops in Kuwait and stop and visit our injured soldiers in Germany. That was the trip of a lifetime and it changed my life.
So, where is the lie?

Whats even more significant is what the candidates are saying. For instance its been learned that Obama/Biden lied about the average family income going down $2,000 under Bush:
Obama said in his acceptance speech that "average family income went down $2,000 under Bush", but that's not correct. His camapin had to clarify that Obama was talking only about "working" families and not retired couples. Also he meant median (or midpoint) and not really the mean or average. However, median family income actually went up $272 under Bush. -- factcheck.org

Don't they call things like this "projection" in the psychology world. I am sure someone of Randi Rhodes caliber has more than once fancied a teenage boy herself. Think about all the garbage being leveled at Sarah Palin -- pretty crazy things that demonstrate a) these people fantasize about doing such repulsive acts themselves or b)they are f---ing lunatics who should be evaluated by a mental health facility.
Maybe that's where Randi was headed when she was mugged in NYC?? Probably so. But Jesus, look at her? Would any guy, even under the age of 18, come close to that? Hell no.

I think MSNBC should drug-test this person before they put her on the air.
I don't have a good working knowledge of MSNBC or the personalities they allow to gag-up comments on the air, but was not this person found wandering the streets of NYC late at night in a highly intoxicated state? Later to to be fired from AirAmerica?
Now that's bad on two points, getting arrested at night for unusual behavior on the streets of NYC. That's common even during the day. And getting fired from AirAmerica if you have more than ten nationwide listeners.
