Share your favorite Randi Rhodes moment
I got a couple of favorite RR moments in mind, but here's the transcript from a little segment on her 5/27/04 show:

-----

And, we are experiencing - hold on to your panties; this is amazing - a bullet shortage. Is that amazing to you? Holy crap, that was in the Financial Times, no less. The Financial Times says: "The United States asks private groups to ease bullet shortage." Bullet shortage! "The US Army cannot fight a war without its most basic necessity - bullets!" Oh my God!

Well, I, I wanna make it, you know, uh, being a liberal, I know how to conserve, okay? Time to cut back on strafing weddings, you know? You do that, you might have some bullets when you need them. I don't know, it's, call me crazy, it's a theory I have.

A bullet shortage! I mean, torture aside, if we're running out of bullets, that's grounds enough to impeach Rumsfeld, I think! I mean, you know, it's just a theory, it's just something I operate under. Theories, you know. But if you ask questions about whether or not our troops have enough bullets, then you support the terrorists, so don't be asking these questions. But what better way to help the enemy, can I just say, than by running out of freakin' bullets?!

(Laughs) I've never seen anything, you know...

So I have one word, one word - Wal-Mart! They have bullets; go there! We must go where the bullets are! Wal-Mart!

We have cameras, we have shackles, we have women's panties, uhhh, what did we forget? Uhhhhh - BULLETS!!

3. I have a video with this blazing guitar solo during Mr. Crowley...
...and then Ozzy lifts him over his head.

Oh....sorry. Wrong Randy Rhodes.

6. That's cool
I also love her on-the-air debate with Ralph Nader on March 31, when Air America first went on the air. He asked her if she was trying to turn the station into "Hot Air America."
