You just can't make this stuff up.

hmmm - hadn't eaten all day

drinking heavily

fell down

I tell ya - it's a medical mystery !

Fourteen Bloody Marys on an empty stomach will do that to you.

This is what I call a trustworthy journalist.

Progressive!

Have to love how she's leaving it vague enough so the Kooks can claim she was beaten. Thus also leaving it vague enough so she can later say "I never said *that*" when asked for evidence.

Perhaps she was trying to do the Captain Morgan pose and tripped...

...yeah, that's the ticket...

how pathetic, why couldn't she come clean and tell the truth?

Oh yea, I forgot, the truth is too inconvenient.

Giving new meaning to 'falling down drunk'...

Low blood sugar - or high on bloody Mary's ?

I'm guessing the Kettle One hits harder than missing lunch...

"she decided not to speak out because she had doctor’s appointments."

I thought the bill on giving children medical insurance didn't pass

She also said she hadn’t eaten all day, and she’s been to a series of doctors and dentists to fix her injuries and they’ve also been unable to determine a medical reason for the incident

the medical term is GDFDGB

got
drunk
fall
down
go
boom

Being attacked by evil rightwingers trying to stop your free speech and your voice of truth is so much more romantic than falling down drunk in a pool of your own vomit.

Well that was certainly gutsy of her.

/not

I don't believe it, she's still making stuff up. I'm sure this is far more tawdry.

"unable to determine a medical reason for the incident" - in medical terms, that means either that she had sobered up before she went to the doctor/dentist or that they simply did not do a blood alcohol.

She better figure out some way to curb her appetite for booze, that doesn't involve an actual curb...

She lied about the incident being connected to alcohol use. Sorry, but that's one sign of alcoholism. Seek help, Randi. You might have a problem.

Now, let's not be hasty. I'm sure she was sitting there, watching football in an Irish pub, drinking nothing but ice tea.

Aw, be reasonable. Have you ever tried to type "I fell down" after 14 Bloody Marys on an empty stomach? It could come out lookin' like anything!

I'm a dentist and I would be happy to straighten her teeth or story. But both may be too crooked.

What a dumb, lying, @#$&

How very sad

Lies by the left, and the lying leftists who tell them.

The face of the Democrat party, one giant lie.

so she was so smashed that she tripped and smashed her face into the fence and too smashed to even realize what had happened.

So getting pushed/falling and smashing your face cause you're smashed = being "mugged" by rightwingers. What a f***ing joke

KETEL ONE did it

She also says she sent a two sentence email to AAR’s management telling them that she had been mugged;

SCREW YOU CODE PINK...

re: #80 Big Steve

Wonder what game she was watching...anyone have a clue?

No . . . and I'm sure she doesn't, either.

I think everyone's making too much of this. If she was so drunk that she fell down and injured herself, she has a problem and we should be sympathetic to her. If she was mugged by a criminal, a crime against your merits no less contempt from us as any other attack against a woman. Finally, if she indeed was attacked by somebody for political reasons, I would be the first to denounce it. We can have the politics of the gutter or we can have the open and vigorous public discourse, that makes this nation great.

I don't have to like Randi Rhodes her politics or anything about her to feel this way. We need only to look at the chaos and anarchy in Lebanon to understand what our nation's fate would be if we succumb to evil politics.

I'm proud of the fact that in my America, Ted Kaczynski, and Eric Rudolph are both safely housed in a triple max prison- exactly where they belong.

She said she was watching football in an Irish pub and went outside for a smoke. The next thing she knew she was on the ground, having fallen or been pushed into a metal grate.

Two things stand out there:

1. If she doesn't know if she fell or was pushed, then doesn't that say something? I mean, for anyone who isn't sloshed, it's pretty obvious when you've been pushed, especially if it's strong enough to send you to the ground. And so, if she doesn't know if she was pushed, then why even mention it?

2. She smokes?! Isn't that a cardinal sin among liberals? Doesn't that make her evil? Just think of the second-hand smoke that she caused others to inhale (you know, like someone who may have been driving down the road and had his window open, and the wind was blowing in that direction, and...).

But, I guess if they get any facetime, it may as well be negative, and continue to show them as the liars that they are.

Based on her 'personality' alone, the fall could only have improved her appearance...

"No medical reason..." Until the the toxicology report reveals she blew a .25 to Officer O'Leary outside Paddy's.

Ere I knew it, my face hit the floor

Well, it was an Irish pub. I'll bet she made up one too many Irish car bombs*. When she got outside, she exploded onto the sidewalk.

*A shot of Bailey's placed in a pint of Guiness and chugged real fast before it curdles.

If she has good lawyer, she'll sue. If she has a real good lawyer, she'll sue the bar, big tobacco and the city for making her go outside.

re: #117 Ayatollah Ghilmeini

What she does in her personal life as far as drinking is her own business. No one wants to see a woman hurt, that's not what this is about. what it IS about is the spreading of false tales designed to blame conservatives and suggest that they assaulted her to silence her point of view. It did not happen, and she did nothing to stop the rumors that it had. Violence was suggested on the left as a response.

She lied to get attention and people could have gotten hurt.

I know why she fell... she is a liberal! Weak kneed in the face of terror and weak kneed after a few pops at the bar.

libs like rhodes always find excuses for their lack of self control

Well she shows a modicum of integrity blowing off this "right wing" attack by the Blackwater company. Very silly. She sounds like a smoker and a drinker, she looks like a smoker and a drinker, but hey so is Ann Coulter. This is NYC and anyone is welcome to watch a ball game and drink oneself into unconsciousness. And these Blackwater guys hardly ever attack anybody here.

The bar should do a Grauman's Chinese Restaurant thing in the front of the place. The impression of her face in cement. Name a drink after her. Anybody who can consume 14 Bloody Marys walk outside without falling on their face get the 15th drink free. Sell Randi Rhodes teeth necklaces.

re: #45 Ed mahmoud abu al Kahoul

all right a Bloody Mary (at least as I make them) should have two shots of vodka in it. thats 28 shots. A football game assuming its american football takes around 3 hours. the liver can metabolize roughly one ounce of alcohol an hour. 28 shots in three hours would put you into Boris Yeltsin territory.

She hadn't eaten all day? Im sure dem' tig-ol'-bitties she has get fed more than yager-bombs.

My dad is an MD. He told me this type of injury is very common in alcoholics. Few people faint dead away for no reason unless they are extremely intoxicated, or else have a tumor or other serious condition.

And why did she do that, given that she had no idea how she fell?

when right-wingers were blamed for the incident she decided not to speak out because she had doctor’s appointments.

And what the heck kind of non-sequitur is that? It takes all of, oh, maybe 1 minute to call on a cell phone, while in transit to the doctor's office.

Exactly.

~ENT

Was she drinking with Teddy Kennedy?

2 points to consider.

First, Randi didn't accuse right-wingers of mugging her, it was these accusations, made by a fellow Air America DJ, that caused her lie to unravel.

Second, many of Rhodes' ilk would merely continue repeating the lie despite contradictory facts being disseminated (Dan Rather), and their allies would be happy to go along rather than allow the right-wingers to get one up on them. So, small moral victory for Randi there.

So Randi is a lush who cant' hold her liquor, faints dead away from drinking all day, and not eating, and thats a right-wing conspiracy?

Sounds like a buffalo-wing conspiracy to me.

Guys, she could have done the journalist thing and stonewalled, stonewalled, stonewalled.

Instead, she came forward and told a story that isn't very self-flattering.

Look when you're injured and in pain (and possibly loaded), you sometimes act stupid -- I blame the bloggers, etc. who jumped on this.

Sometimes, even a leftie deserves a pass, if she has some broken teeth.

i think i've figured this out.

she was hit over the head...with the ugly stick.

yow.

I cared about this story until I realized that she never played guitar for Ozzy.

Technically, the Taliban appear to have actually started out on the own, but they were soon co-opted by the ISI and effectively became their proxy force (see Spring-Autumn 1994). Benazir Bhutto, prime minister of Pakistan at the time, will later recall how ISI support grew in late 1994 and into early 1995. “I became slowly, slowly sucked into it... Once I gave the go-ahead that they should get money, I don’t know how much money they were ultimately given... I know it was a lot. It was just carte blanche.” Bhutto was actually at odds with her own ISI agency and will later claim she eventually discovered the ISI was giving them much more assistance than she authorized, including Pakistani military officers to lead them in fighting.

re: #177 Mardukhai

This started because a lie was perpetrated about her injuries in the first place, with a "vast right wing conspiracy" to blame. And you expect that sort of nonsense to be ignored? If it weren't for the lies and distortion of the left, this incident would scarcely have been mentioned.

smoking is bad for your health..and your teeth.

re: #180 rick mcginnis

True but I heard she helped write 'Bark At The Moon'.

My post @181 makes a lot of sense if you imagine it on the last thread...

/hanging head in shame

I guess she was seeing pink elephants so she assumed they were Republicans around.

All she wants for Christmas is her 2 front teeth

She did not ingest 14 Bloody Marys. That was an exaggeration from someone who saw her drinking... and was therefore most likely also drinking. She was rather obviously, however, drunk as a skunk. But this is all beside the point. Here is the real story, and the truth about who really assaulted her:

She went outside to smoke, too drunk to defend herself.

Anti-smoking liberal freaks knocked her over for laughs.

End of story.

Yeah, yeah... blame the Irish.
Anyone know the name of the pub?

I'm sorry that the lady hurt herself, but it ends there. Shes' guilty of the sin of omission, and I have no sympathy for liars.

Went out for a smoke, my arse... the barkeep cut her off for being an obnoxious mouthy drunk, more likely.

A good friend of mine owns an Irish pub with his wife, and they don't put up with that kind of shite.

re: #178 buzzsawmonkey

True, she didn't accuse "right-wingers" of mugging her. But she did, herself, start the lie that she had been mugged--by her own admission.

I wasn't trying to imply otherwise. I just think it's amusing that her colleague (and the Kos folks), trying to twist the situation to political advantage, ended up exposing her and making Air America look even more foolish.

Can't a lady get drunk these days, and have sex with a curb?
Jeez, lighten up people!

Can you believe that Randi Rhodes (not her real name by the way - Rhodes that is) was in the Air Force?

she should get drunk and fall on her face more often it's the only thing that gets her airtime that's worth listening to

re: #189 irish rose

According to a wiotness shje not only was drunk but obnoxious to the staff and patrons.

re: #177 Mardukhai

Mardukhai,

She would deserve a pass, if:

1. She hadn't told Air America she'd been mugged (there was zero evidence she'd been mugged, and she obviously was drunk out of her mind).
2. She had immediately corrected the "right wingers did it" story when she heard it. She obviously had enough state of mind at that point to do it (she was talking with her ex on the phone at the time) but she chose not to.
3. The story was already leaking out that she was at the bar and was drinking (a lot) and so this wasn't much of a mea culpa.
4. She's still trying to spin it. "I don't know if I was pushed," when she has no reason to think she was pushed, is playing with words. The most reasonable explanation at this point is that she was drunk and fell down, end of story.

re: #175 Ajax

One point to consider: Randi e-mailed to her employers that she was mugged.

re: #177 Mardukhai

she came forward and told a story that isn't very self-flattering.

After she'd lied and painted herself as a victim. And the story she told still reeks of half-truth. All she admitted to was falling for some unstated reason.

I bet the only reason she "came forward" at all is that there were too many eyewitnesses for her to do otherwise.

Hey Charles, any chance of you invoking the ghost of Sir Laurence Olivier to recite this particular diatribe?

Shame on Randi Rhodes for allowing this to happen. She lied in an attempt to cover her ass. That lie was spun out by her liberal-minded cohorts. A liberal mind is very, very slippery. Morals are incompatible with a liberal thinker because morals, by definition, are conservative {more restrictive}. So a lie is not a lie, it becomes a weapon. I fear that the liberals will continue lying, deceiving, and leading others astray for a long time. This is an especially shameful example of the left-wings inability to grasp simple facts and present them in an honest way.

All publicity is good publicity for media lifeforms. Randi will be better known from now on than ever before. However, she still will not be as well known as

1. Randy Rhoads the deceased heavy metal guitarist, who is still more entertaining than Err America Randi even though he's assumed room temperature.

or

2. Dusty Rhodes the retired wrestler, who was an exceptionally good storyteller and so is still more fun than Randi even though he's retired.

No, Randi will still be well behind those two in name recognition. Her best hope is, as a poster yesterday suggested, if the Ketel One Bloody Mary were to become popularly known as a Randi Rhodes.

re: #103 marwan's daughter

14 drinks on an empty stomach? And she's still alive? That really is coma territory. It couldn't have been 14.

She must have a pretty high tolerance for alcohol, which suggests that she's an alcoholic. Someone else might've gotten alcohol poisoning from downing that much booze that quickly.

I would be the last person on earth to throw stones at someone for being drunk. I am drunk now. I am usually drunk. I like to be drunk.

If you want to fall down, well, that's your business. I don't go there, I prefer to remain upright. Falling might spill one's drink. If you get hurt, further drinking is postponed. That is bad.

Blaming your problems on others is bad. Blaming your problems on others for political gain is worse. Democrats never are at fault for anything it seems. Dead girl in the car, multiple murder at the Georgetown Starbucks, fishy suicide of your attorney, dead Marylin, a gazillion dead Southeast Asians, Cambodia, Rwanda, my property taxes, etc... You get my point.

I guess that is the defining issue with the left. Someone else is responsible (even though I did it).

No, no, no. The PC term is Professional Drinker.

"...having fallen or been pushed..."

Having obfuscated or told a lie, in laymen's terms.

It's the cover-up that always kills you.

Randi, you should've just said you were shi'ite-faced and tripped over your own feet and fell and knocked out some teeth.

And laughed through the gap.

Only your own super-judgmental "friends" on the gauche tinfoil side would villify with such honesty.

(Because you shouldn't drink or smoke, to satisfy their puritannical Uber-Nanny State code.)

So your a lush klutz. At least you would have honesty on your side.

Now your a slimy prevaricating moonbat weasel.

9 more syllables of shame.

She doesn't know what happened but presumes that the fact her face met the pavement without benefit of her hands breaking the fall is the result of a mugging? And then has a conspiricy of idiots. Ok. Haven't we've heard this sort of story before as told by millions of errant spouses? Or maybe Randi should spend more time in Las Vegas, where everything theoretically stays there, except for O.J.'s shenanigans.
Liars are just what they are. Once they step out, why should anyone ever trust them again? Sounds like Randi's credibility is shot. There is a serious need for apple pickers in West VA. Maybe she is qualified. A job Americans don't want to do.

re: #35 ted you need an account for that

Funny, if the libs hadn't banned smoking in NY bars, she wouldn't have broken her face.. I'm sure all the car exhaust on the streets is so healthy!

She's simultaneously making it worse for herself while moving the story closer to the truth. Amazing.

When this first broke I knew nothing about her and my main thought was - I hope she's OK, she's got kind of a pretty face, and I'm sure she's a nice enough person one on one. I couldn't understand the vitriol coming from this forum toward her.

I understand better now.

And I think her appearance probably more nearly parallels her personality now.

Randi, I weigh in at a little over 110Kg. I've discovered that having even one drink on an empty stomach isn't a good idea. You don't appear to weigh in at much over 60Kg. Suggest that you forgo drinking on an empty stomach lest you fall down again.

On second thought, keep on drinking on an empty stomach. A drunk, falling down liberal, fits the stereotype many conservatives have of liberals. Here's to public drunkenness on the part of liberals. May your time in the ER be as unpleasant to you as your radio program is to conservatives.

If she drank that much booze, she probably needed to see the doctor for more than just a broken face. I'm willing to ignore everything she said or did for 24 hours after that much liquor, however:

That does not excuse her from being so stupid as to drink that much. College students drink like that because they are dumb and inexperienced. Adults in responsible positions should know better. Also, there is the issue of In vino veritas. Even if she was still raging drunk when she claimed to be mugged, she sure found it easy to make up a preposterous lie to try to cover her indiscretion. Now where did my Johnny Walker go?

re: #108 missouri boy

re: #34 Shug

she’s been to a series of doctors they’ve also been unable to determine a medical reason for the incident

Good one!
I've always used the term CFS (Cranial-Fecal Syndrome), but I may have to add that one to my lexicon of putdowns.

What? No wardrobe malfunctions?

No paparazzi pics of her urinating in the parking lot of a bar?

Randi, if you're attempting to drink yourself to death then you might consider getting professional help for your condition.

the difference between a drunk and a alcoholic a drunk doesn't have to go to the f''' meetings

She does have a point, if a Blackwater contractor had tapped her, four broken teeth would be the least of her problems.

The Left cannot conceive the concept of Honor. Let her stand up on her hind legs and admit she got falling-down drunk and fell-down. She relished the rush of victim hood and didn't think anybody would notice because nobody listens to the station except her friends, who would instantly feel sorry for her in her hour of righteous need.

Randi lies...she lies on the radio and now she lies on the street.

Have another Commiepolitan, Randi.

Twenty years in the booze business ... to me she describes the perfect end to taking a "drunken header"

She also says she sent a two sentence email to AAR’s management telling them that she had been mugged; when right-wingers were blamed for the incident she decided not to speak out because she had doctor’s appointments.

"telling them that she had been mugged" [ a lie of commission].

"when right-wingers were blamed for the incident she decided not to speak out" [ a lie of omission].

Randi Rhodes can find a good ideological home in the left wing, because lying is their modus operandi. They will not think any the worse of her for lying, because that's what they do. What's a little lie like that compared to the whopper that the troofers tell?

Yes, she probably fell down drunk. I said so much in the first thread on this (ie that drugs or alcohol were likely involved).

But no, we don't know for sure that she had 14 bloody marys, how much alcohol was (or wasn't) in each drink, whether or not it was on an "empty stomach", or over what time period.

The number came from another blog poster, allegedly an eyewitness, sho alleged it. But how would he know what she was drinking?

If he was watching her and counting her drinks, that's pretty damn creepy. If he was the one serving the drinks, that was pretty irreponsible. So the 14 Bloody Marys have to be taken with a grain of salt (and an extra dash of tobasco).

Rhodes lied, not to get attention, but rather to avoid it (and for obvious reasons).

I don't think she was the one who made up the "Conservative attack" angle. Wasn't that one of her editors/colleagues? If he hadn't have done that, she probably would have gotten away with the mugging lie.

re: #254 ajackson

Jack, yes. Jose, no. New York is a sanctuary city.

Someone should put her teeth on e-bay.

#175 Ajax

Randi knows her audience. She didn't HAVE to say right-wingers mugged her, she knew, absolutely KNEW that her followers, few as they are, would take the ball and run out of control with it.

Imagine if Skinner from DU or Kos posted, "I was mugged and lost some teeth." They too know their audience, and any fool that would bet that the first post wouldn't be some variation of "evil right-wingers" did it would be a fool indeed.

What a jerk.

I just figured that she finally got her dream date with her idol Bill Clinton?

I'm waiting for someone to post a joke about Rhodes and her dog with the punchline, "The Aristocrats!"

Years ago I spent a good deal of time drinking in Irish pubs.

I sincerely believe Randi Rhodes was mugged...by her own stupidity.

'Tis by the grace of God and the sweet nature of the Irish she survived the experience.

I would not try being that stupid in some of the elsewheres I spent time drinking.

Now that's just not right. That's not even funny.

Walking back the cat, right into the bar, where the bartender was sober; you'll learn Randi Rhodes had 13 Bloody Mary's. Oh, and she got loud. And, abusive.

She was probably so drunk she couldn't stand straight.

And, besides her "two line e-mail" to her boss; where she talks of not having eaten all day. She "only assumed" someone ran into her from the back.

You think there are lots of bums in front of an Irish Bar?

I think bums would have a pretty poor shot at being a "regular" in front of such a place.

Randi would be lying through her teeth. But she hasn't got them, anymore. And, she was so drunk she went down without even getting her hands up, to protect her face.

Okay. IN the news; Rush's letter from Reid brings him more audience.

Here? An Air America dudette gets laughed at.

It's not just the same publicity generating machinery.
