*****UPDATE*****
Randi’s lawyers and authorities from the NYPD have stated that the claims of the attack are bogus. She fell while walking her dog and banged herself up pretty badly, but no mugging. She’ll be back in the studio on Thursday, and I’m sure her opening monologue will be fabulous.
The paranoid lefties that give us all a bad name can all calm down now.
*****END UPDATE*****
According to fellow Air American Jon Elliot, Randi Rhodes, the Goddess of Radio, was assaulted late Sunday night outside of her Manhattan apartment. 
She was wearing sweats, wore no visible jewelry, and carried no purse or bag. All she had was Simon, her teeny-tiny dog with a penchant for growling at Republicans on the teevee.
Apparently, she was roughed up pretty badly and the attack left her with more than a couple of teeth missing. Bastards! She’ll be out for the rest of the week and will have Sam Seder sitting in for her on Tuesday and Wednesday, and the Sammy Cam WILL be in effect.
People in Bloglandia and the Randi Rhodes messageboards have been speculating this might be an attempt to silence Ms. Rhodes by some wackjob from the right wing. It’s too easy of a conclusion and way too speculative this early on in what’s more than likely an ongoing investigation. There are crazy people everywhere late at night, even 39th St. and Park Avenue.
Paranoid liberals annoy the shit outta me sometimes.
Get well soon, Randi! I’ll be waiting for your triumphant, fake-toothed return next week.

But is Simon okay?! Update, please!
I bet it was the same guy who hit me…

We get so caught up in our passions that we fail to remember that we all fall sometimes.

I have never seen anything that would look so disgusting. Why do people publish stuff like that? I don’t understand them!
