First, we bring you the explanation of Air America talk show host and BDS sufferer Randi Rhodes of her "mugging."

If you've had nothing to eat all day and you step out of an Irish Pub for a smoke and can't recall if you were shoved or simply did a face plant, then you've got a drinking problem. You were not "mugged" by a conservative. You would do well, however, to find a conservative and ask him or her very nicely to introduce you to the "truth," because you apparently keep missing when you pass it on the street.

Second, we have California Congressman Pete "Mad Mouth" Stark.

Oh for the days when canes were carried on the Senate floor. Unfortunately, Stark is in a safe Democrat district, so we'll be hearing his insane rants until he starts pushing up daisies.
