OK, conservos, you've proven you get joy out of someone else's misfortune

I got ya, conservos. You're just totally thrilled Randi Rhodes got hurt, and you can't hide it, can you?

Hell, judging by the comments the Freepers have left on blogs about Rhodes's injury, it's obvious conservatives think this is funny.

It turns out that what appeared to be an attack was actually just an accidental fall. I think some of the commenters here at The Online Lunchpail had it right when they said the fact that so many people speculated that it was a politically motivated attack is just proof of the times we live in. In other words (as someone pointed out) nobody would have suspected it was politically motivated if not for the fact that conservatives launch violent attacks all the time (a fact that I'm a firsthand witness to).

And (as someone else pointed out) it's obvious somebody with the city gave the wrong information just so it could be debunked later. Well, it didn't work, because Rhodes herself isn't claiming that the injury was anything other than an accident.

Hopefully, she'll recover soon. It was an unfortunate incident, and it's even more unfortunate that her enemies gloat about it and accuse her of making more of it than it was.

In the meantime, I've fixed the header and the content of the previous entry to clear up some of the confusion.
