Rhodes: No Scholar

Via Brian Maloney: Randi Rhodes casts the 9/11 attack on the Pentagon as a comedy bit:

"Except Bush appropriates $4 billion for flu prevention, but gives it to the Pentagon. I don't get it.

"I saw a bird fly into the Pentagon once, it wasn't a chicken, it was a commercial airliner.

"Actually, I didn't see it. But I heard about it."

You can listen< if you prefer.

Oh, she also thinks the President should boost the Democrats' plan for dealing with Avian Flu:

"I don't understand this, why don't the Republicans ever have a plan? I mean even if they're as smart as everyone thinks they are, wouldn't they have stolen the Democrats' plan?

"Cause you know, we do have one, our Senate Democrats are going to Asia, they're going to talk to the best scientists, they're going to find out (laughter) everything they can about Avian Flu and they'll bring that knowledge back. We'll be fine.

Got that?

Democrat Senators are going to talk with scientists and solve the problem ("We'll be fine). So that means Joe Freaking Biden and Barbara Boxer are going to trot out the keen intellects they exhibit elsewhere, and go and gnosh with a bunch of the world's smartest people, and solve the problem?

I almost wish we got Rhodes in the Twin Cities.
