Perhaps she comes across the best in contrast to the rest of the lowlifes on the screen.

Don't know. Here's her bio from her radio site:

Randi Rhodes Biography
The smoky-voiced Brooklyn native with the lightening fast wit cracks the mic and legions listen. One of the country's first female entertainment and political talk show hosts, Randi has a passion for people.

Her radio talk shows are legendary in South Florida where she has been the comic relief and the pillar of reality when she gives herself to ideas that people rarely express out loud. Her unflinching candor and self-deprecating approach to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness (whatever), have earned her the respect and loyalty. Her ability to research complex ideas but present them so simply and in an exquisitely entertaining way seems effortless. It seems that Randi's opinion was the one you never knew was yours but now is. She holds Nothing back. Randi?s life is an open book and people tune in to hear the pages turn.

Her radiogenic odyssey started in Seminole, Texas where she was a waitress in a Mexican restaurant to support her radio habit. She made it to New York, Dallas, and Milwaukee before settling in South Florida (WIOD-Miami) and West Palm Beach (WJNO).

Randi was also voted Most Outstanding Woman in the Air Force in 1979 and won the American Women in Radio and Television Ward for Best Entertainment Programming.

Thanks! I believe, however, that that is her "air-name" and not the real one.

I've heard her. She sounds like someone is chasing her around the studio with a knife!

Our Dish system had one of those "free HBO" things a couple of weeks ago and I saw an ad for that Air America "documentary".

The feeling I got from the spot was that it was going to show how AA was like a "rogue band of righteous underdogs" that were going to take on the giants (Rush's) of talk radio and win. The commercial really needed a FR type "Triple Barf Bag" warning. HBO, in general, needs one too.

Good one!

Can't believe HBO is really going to broadcast a project critical of liberal media.

Is this on the level?

I thought Randy Rhodes died in a plane crash while barnstorming his private plane over Ozzy Osbourne's tour bus. Ozzy dedicated the rest of the tour to the former Quiet Riot (pre-Cum On Feel the Noiz) axeman?

Not in the least. It is a film made by Michael Moore's team; the producers of his TV Nation show.

I would hold judgment until it has aired, but if it is we will be able to torture the AAR crowd forever. lol

I use to go on the AAR website and pick at them with facts just to watch them squirm but I got bored with it. I use to call the little Frankensteins.

Thats the trick...they play it that way and then...enter the hero, Randi Rhodes and the big bad old conservatives just melt away and the left wing moonbats save the day....thats how HBO will show it anyway.

Unless you're in Congress.
