The face of Air America host Randi Rhodes has had it rough the last couple of days. It lost some teeth; it bruised its eye. First it was reported that Rhodes had been mugged while walking her dog, perhaps by a right wing conspiracy. Then it came out that she wasn't in fact mugged but had imbibed 14 Bloody Marys instead and that that might have had something to do with how her face made the intimate acquaintance of the sidewalk. And now she clarifies—in such a vague and flippant way that we assume that she blacked out and is struggling to come to terms with her alcoholism, which is, judging from this audio clip from her show, not going very well.
