Who mugged Randi Rhodes?
Word is that she had several teeth knocked out. The attack took place near her apartment while she was walking her dog, Simon. And since she wasn’t wearing a purse or any jewelry - just some jogging clothes and her house keys - it makes me think that, as John Elliot put it, “this does not appear […] to be a standard grab the money and run mugging.”
It’s too early to tell if this was just an ordinary mugging, or a politically-motivated assault. However, in light of the above, and given the right’s history of violence, repeated death threats and stalking aginst people they don’t like, I would not be surprised in the least if this was caused by someone from the Unhinged Wingnut Brigade in an effort to shut her up.
Hey Stalkin’ Malkin, care to tell us something about this?
Ummm, nobody? Air america’s new motto. “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!”

Think you might want to pull this post? Or update it? Turns out Rhodes wasn’t mugged at all.
