Fresh from her “drunken stupor”/”walking the dog” wingnut intimidation that wasn’t accident that resulted in her having a few teeth knocked loose from that whacked-out gourd of hers, Air America radio boob Randi Rhodes has discovered just how those wildfires got started in California.  From Ian Schwartz:

Randi Rhodes went on an extremely bizarre rant (even for her standards) during her Air America show this afternoon. Rhodes actually thinks Blackwater played a significant role in the wildfires started by arsonists. Rhodes said she used Google to search for possible reasons why arson was responsible for several fires and Blackwater was the result she yieled. She also came to this conclusion due to the fact that several of Blackwater’s former employees now work for Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger (R-CA). Does the lib talker believe Blackwater and their cohorts in the Schwarzenegger administration intentionally set fire in response to protesters AND to clear more room for their new facilitates in Southern California, thus killing two birds with one stone? “Nobody is saying Blackwater set the fires, that is nobody that doesn’t want their house burned down,” Rhodes said referring to those who protested the company’s westward expansion. Nobody? Read the transcript below the audio to decide for yourself.

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? (Because no one other than tinfoil nutters like you is stupid enough to believe that? Just guessin’. - Ed.) 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.

Not nearly as creepy as this feeble-minded wench having a mouthpiece for a couple of listeners to hear.  As Allah puts it:

The conspiracy theorist mindset laid bare: identify your enemy, identify some newsworthy misfortune, then connect the two in any way you can. 

To summarize:  It actually wasn’t Bushcheney McRummyburton punishing the Left Coast voters with hellfire and brimstone for rejecting him in 2000 and 2004!  Nope, it was that leftist boogeyman that is quickly catching up to Halliburton on the “rightwing corporations leftards fear will take over America and drink our children’s plasma through crazy straws”, AKA Blackwater.

I would say that moonbattery pays the bills for her, but considering that Air America went bankrupt, I don’t think that’s the case.

Sorry, moonbats…this cannot be blamed on George W. Bush.  From LGF:

Loony leftist Air America radio host Randi Rhodes was allegedly mugged Sunday night in New York outside her apartment, and the cast and crew of Air America already know who to blame.

Jon Elliott was extremely agitated when he reported on the incident. He opened his show by saying “it is with sadness that tonight I inform you that my Air America colleague Randi Rhodes was assaulted last night while walking her dog near her New York City home.”

Pointing out that Rhodes was wearing a jogging suit and displayed no purse or jewelry, Elliott speculated that “this does not appear to me to be a standard grab the money and run mugging.”

“Is this an attempt by the right wing hate machine to silence one of our own,” he asked. “Are we threatening them. Are they afraid that we’re winning. (Yes, bankrupt radio networks with a dozen nationwide listeners must be winning! - Ed.) Are they trying to silence intimidate us.”

Some of blog posters also expressed concerns that the attack on Rhodes was hate crime. Other posters warned that we need more facts before any judgements are made.

When has that stopped you in the past?

Never.  And this time is no different:

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.
…
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.” 

The pain of an unrealized conspiracy theory (much like every other conspiracy theory those tinfoil nutters have) is probably much worse than the pain of this Yorkie-induced dental work that Randi “let’s off the prez…hey, what’s the Secret Service doing here?” Rhodes will have to endure.

What’s that about the definition of insanity? Hat tip to the Conservative Manifesto:

Talk about beating a dead horse.

Air America is scheduling a high-profile lineup of presidential candidates, political players and celebrities for next week as part of the liberal talk network’s “relaunch” after suffering financial woes.

When are we idiot Americans going to wake up and recognize the true radio genius of Air America, hmmmm? For those of you on the left, the prior question was both rhetorical and sarcasm.

Air America: stuck on stupid.
