Ketel One Queen Affirms Her Support of Alvin Greene: 'I Love This Guy'

Remember this lunatic lush when she fell on her face a few years ago after sucking down copious amounts of Bloody Mary's one Sunday afternoon? Well, apparently she's still on the air and may well be the only supporter the hapless Alvin Greene has left.

“Let me tell you – you know my candidate for Senate in South Carolina is Alvin Greene,” Rhodes said. “I left off where he was supposedly indicted for you know sharing a wonderful moment of pornography with a girl who was over 18 in a college library – in a college library where he had attended college by the way, so he still has his ID card to get on the campus, so. I don’t know what law he broke, but apparently they say he did and they indicted him. And so the local TV went over to his house to see what his comments were about the indictment.”

Well, Randi, part of your job is going on the air prepared, so perhaps you should have read up on the charges against Greene. It's not as if there wasn't any coverage of his transgressions.

Rhodes then played that infamous clip of Greene howling at a reporter from North Carolina station WCNC. And her conclusion – even with this abnormal behavior from an individual that represents the Democratic Party for the South Carolina, he’s still better than the incumbent, Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C. and lamented the idea he has been unable to raise any money.

“He’s still better than Jim DeMint,” Rhodes said. “I don’t give a rat’s – that’s why he’s my candidate. He’s still better than Jim DeMint, OK? A guy that’s howling in his house, ‘Nooooooo, goooooooo,’ is still better than Jim DeMint. And that’s why Alvin Greene will always be my candidate for senator from South Carolina. I love this guy. I think – he’s fabulous. I mean, if they can have the nut bags they have, why can’t I have Alvin Greene? And why aren’t we supporting him? I think the guy has raised $1,000 since this whole thing started.”

Maybe nobody is supporting him because he's got, um, some problems with the law, among other things?

But Rhodes used those peculiar circumstances surrounding Greene, which have likely hindered this hopeful from raising money to level attacks against Koch Industries and NewsCorp for giving money to the Republican Governors Association, chaired by Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour.

“That’s wrong. You know you got the Koch Industries people give a million dollars Haley Barbour in Mississippi,” Rhodes protested. “[Y]ou know oil and chemicals – the Koch family, Americans For Prosperity, the Koch family, the fake grassroots Tea Party, the Koch family – giving a million dollars to Haley Barbour. Fox News gave a million dollars, News Corp. to Haley Barbour!”

Maybe she and Greene can shack up. They'd be great together. He'll be getting almost no votes this fall and she has virtually zero ratings.

Anthony Weiner Announces Investigation of Liberal Talk Radio Hosts

Well, at least he's being even handed.

Oh wait, he's ignoring them and just targeting Glenn Beck? How convenient.

Meanwhile, the slimy Stalinist wannabe was on with Bill O'Reilly Monday night.



Meanwhile, more inconvenient Weiner Facts continue to emerge. He really is an embarrassment to humanity.

Kid Playing With Matches Started California Wildfire

OK, so it wasn't global warming, wasn't Iraq, and it wasn't Blackwater.

Officials: Boy with matches started fire

SANTA CLARITA, Calif. - Officials blamed a wildfire that consumed more than 38,000 acres and destroyed 21 homes last week on a boy playing with matches, and said they would ask a prosecutor to consider the case.

The boy, whose name and age were not released, admitted to sparking the fire on Oct. 21, Los Angeles County sheriff's Sgt. Diane Hecht said Tuesday. Ferocious winds helped it quickly spread.

"He admitted to playing with matches and accidentally starting the fire," Hecht said in a statement.

The unapologetic insane troika of Harry Reid, Barbara Boxer and Randi Rhodes were unavailable for comment.

By the way, isn't it curious how quickly the national drive-by media fled California?

Sockety McSockpuppet Meets Miss Ketel One

Gosh, I'm so sorry to have missed this epic.

UPDATE II: I'll be on the Randi Rhodes Show today at 4:30 p.m. Eastern to discuss the Boylan matter. Local listings are here and live audio feed is here.

A blithering idiot with multiple sock puppets (though he is a best-selling author and famed constitutional attorney) being interviewed by a delusional drunk.

Stimulating radio. Must have tripled her ratings to at least six people, including four of Greenwald's sock puppets.

How long does Sockety plan milking this trainwreck for?

More on this idiot at protein wisdom.

Have Another Drink, Randi

Miss Ketel One really needs to sober up and seek treatment.

I started just doing Google searches to try and figure out. You know, arson, arson, it was like crazy trying to figure out why is that being downplayed? Why is that, you know, just a small part of the story? And you know, every time I look for it what comes up, believe it or not, is that Blackwater wants to move to San Diego and build this giant complex in San Diego right where most of the evacuations are taking place and you know.

You just know wherever there is fire, this administration will be out there doing what it does best and that is fanning the flames, you know. It just spooks me, I can’t explain to you how creepy this whole thing is that you know, you’ve got these fires. Some of them are thought to be the work of arsonists and in the same breath you’ve got a community that’s on fire that just recently protested Blackwater West. Just recently said no to Blackwater and apparently you don’t do that.

I mean, I don’t even know what to think. You know, nobody is saying Blackwater set the fires, that is nobody that doesn’t want their house burned down. Nobody is saying that, but it is all so bizarre that this is America and you have to sort of sit there and wonder … arson, same place Blackwater West wants to be, people protesting. And then you find out that some of the guys that used to work for Blackwater are now in Schwarzenegger’s administration.

It’s all so creepy.

She's either completely insane or in the death throes of wetbrain.

Air America Host in Mugging Hoax

I was very suspicious of this story when I first read about it today, and sure enough, it's a sham.

Maybe it was just satire.

Air America radio host Randi Rhodes is temporarily off the air, but claims she was brutally attacked near her Manhattan apartment are bogus, her lawyer and a police source said today.

Fellow host Jon Elliott claimed on the liberal radio network that Rhodes had been mugged while walking her dog, Simon, on Sunday night. Elliot, who said Rhodes lost several teeth in the attack, waxed about a possible conspiracy.

"Is this an attempt by the right-wing, hate machine to silence one of our own?" he asked on the air, according to Talking Radio, a blog. "Are we threatening them? Are they afraid that we’re winning? Are they trying to silence intimidate us?"

A police source said Rhodes never filed a report and never claimed to be the victim of a mugging. Cops from Manhattan's 17th Precinct called her attorney, who told them Rhodes was not a victim of a crime, the source said.

Rhodes' lawyer told the Daily News she was injured in a fall while walking her dog. He said she's not sure what happened, and only knows that she fell down and is in a lot of pain. The lawyer said Rhodes expects to be back on the air Thursday. He stressed there is no indication she was targeted or that she was the victim of a "hate crime."

Rhodes started with the Air America when it launched in 2004. Her show airs from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays.

The network released a statement that said Rhodes "experienced an unfortunate incident."

Yes, like the end of her radio career.

Remarkably, this site still has the original allegation up (headline: Randi Rhodes is the Victim of a Violent Attack), burying down deep this:

AAR's official blogger, Nancy Scola, posted the following message on the lib network's website this morning:

Air America host Randi Rhodes experienced an unfortunate incident hindering her from hosting her show. The reports of a presumed hate crime are unfounded. Ms. Rhodes looks forward to being back on the air on Thursday.

Thanks for clearing that up. I wonder if these suckers will be issuing any retractions?

The Moderate Voice had a roundup of opinion earlier. Let's see how quickly the retractions and apologies are forthcoming. Something called Brilliant at Breakfast obviously hasn't eaten today.

Granted, we don’t know for certain that Rhodes was specifically targeted for political reasons. We are, after all, talking about New York and people do get mugged. But taken in the context of a right wing hate machine that’s grown ever more shrill as not just their president, but their entire ideology, has shown to be a hollow shell constituting just a veneer over a fetid, stinking core of greed, hypocrisy, and incompetence, they’re going to lash out at those who shattered their illusions, rather than those who manipulated them in the first place.

Brilliant!

Now that the truth is out, bizarrely it still is top story here two hours later.

UPDATE II: Don Surber links. Thanks! Oh and take this report for what it's worth, but it does seem plausible.

If only her dog could talk.
