How Do You Spell "DUMB?" Air America's Randi Rhodes' Assassination Humor
by Joe Gandelman
You have to wonder when radio talk show hosts on the left and right make jokes about murdering political leaders or foes whether they have a mental problem — or a mental to begin with.
Don't they read the PAPERS and see what kinds of crazy people we have out there? And I'm not just talking about the ones in Congress.

Joe, not sure if you actually listened to Randi's show today, but she's in Florida, the bit was produced in New York. She knew nothing about it, has apologized so profusely it actually has become annoying, and the bit actually makes no reference to Bush. Yeah, someone could misconstrue the old man talking about a president instead of a young guy trying to privatize his SS, but it doesn't appear to be their honest intent. You contrast this with the clear comments G. Gordon Liddy, Ann Coulter, etc. had made in the past with direct death threats to then President Clinton, or the recent threats by DeLay and Cornin against federal judges, there's a clear difference... Though I guess that doesn't fit the agenda to squash any liberal voices from the airwaves.
