Just when I thought that this week couldn't get any better...Air America finally folds

Yep...on the heels of America giving the Obama/Progressive movement the finger in Massachusetts by electing Republican Scott Brown to Ted "the swimmer" Kennedy's old senate seat and the Supreme Court striking down much of the McCain-Feingold Campaign Finance law as unconstitutional, Air America, the radio network established to blast liberal hate for President Bush and American values in general into the airwaves, has finally declared bankruptcy and will shut down for good. Never able to make money on advertising (for the simple reason that it never drew any significant audience...ane who wants to listen to that crap?)and financed by a ring of wealthy liberals and the theft of funds from at least one children's organization, the network that gave voice to such miserable haters as Randi Rhodes, Janeane Garafalo, Rachel Maddow and Al Franken is now going the way of all of those liberal investors' dollars...right down the toilet.

Of course in their press release, they claim that they failed because...well...because all of radio is down right now. It's not because they suck or because no one wanted to listen to them spew hate and derision at everyone else who wasn't to the left of Marx. Of course not. I mean, anyone can see that Limbaugh, Hannity, Ingraham, Beck and the other conservative hosts are losing advertising revenues, too. Oh, wait--no they aren't. The conservative shows are doing just fine and actually picking up more stations. So maybe it is just the nimrods at Air America who couldn't attract an audience or compete in the arena of ideas. That free market's a bitch, isn't it, lefties?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAAHA!!!!!!

What did I tell you? Now Randi Rhodes wasn't mugged.

What a shock. AFTER her co-hosts went on the air and described her suffering then blamed the rest of us in non-loony America for it, closer media scrutiny--and the lack of a police report--have caused Rhodes to retract her claim of being mugged. Now she says that she "just fell down".

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."

Wow. I guess the idea of making up a phony hate crime just didn't seem like that good an idea when the police started coming around, did it Randi?

Can anyone else say "liar" and "totally discredited washed-up leftist?"

And the media source that I quoted in the previous story is already redacting Rhodes' claims of being attacked by conservatives or anyone else.

Fading Liberal allegedly mugged...and blaming conservatives

As if there are loads of conservative street criminals roaming around New York City...

But according to this report, Randi Rhodes, the failed comedienne turned caustic America hater and failed talk-show host on the all-but-washed-up "Air America" screed show (which went under despite massive cash injections from Liberals and a fraud perpetrated against a boys' and girls' club) now claims that she was attacked and beaten while walking her dog.

Of course the Liberal moonbat whacko base immediately began screaming that it was a right-wing conspiracy to silence Rhodes, but why would anyone bother going to the trouble? It's not as if she ever had more than seventeen listeners on a good day now, is it? And Air America is already in bankruptcy and virtually dead by it's own dull, America-hating hand.

No, what I see here is another Morton Downey Jr. moment. Anyone else remember back in 1989 when this failing liberal talk show host made up a fake "attack" on himself, claiming that neo-nazis had beaten him and drawn swastikas on his face in a San Francisco airport? Well we know now that he did it for the attention to keep him in the limelight by portraying himself as some sort of a victim, and I have to wonder if Randi Rhodes isn't doing the same thing here.

But assuming that it really did happen and that she and her little dog were mugged, I do express my outrage and sympathy because it is still technically wrong to beat down even crazy people who hate this country like she does and I sincerely hope that the little dog was not injured.

I also hope that the criminal is caught so that everyone can see that it's just another one of those bad people that the Liberals keep crying over every time the police arrest them and the courts sentence them.
