So, I get to go to a reception for Randi Rhodes today

[LisaM]

Any special DU messages for her?

My friend won tickets and she is taking me!!!!!

[derby378]

1. Try not to say "I just don't understand the GOP" so much

You've been in radio for over 12 years. I think you know how they work by now.

Other than that, great job!

:toast:

[CottonBear]

2. Tell her CottonBear thinks she's great and keep speaking truth to power!

I love Randi! You are so lucky to be able to meet her in person! :)

[LSK]

3. thats what I would say

Shes my favorite.

[LisaM]

4. I'll tell her, Cotton Bear!

This invitation just came out of the blue.

She's here for the Hemp Festival.

[iwillalwayswonderwhy]

5. Tell her

She speaks what my mind screams.

[CottonBear]

15. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Hemp Festival? Now that sounds like fun! ;)

Tom Hartmann is a great guest host today but I did miss bouncing my boobies with Randi! ;)

[LisaM]

16. I'm not going to that, though - just to the reception

Apparently, there will not be very many people there. I'm lucky, I can tell you.

My secretary has a horse like the one in your picture - she went to Germany to get it. Actually, she just sold that one and now she's going to get another.

[CottonBear]

33. My horse is German too! The picture is of her sire who is an Oldenburg.

It was taken in Vechta (sp?) Germany at the Oldenburg Verband stallion approvals. My filly, Cotton, looks just like her sire! Her dam is an American Thouroghbred and Cotton was bred hre in in the US where the sire now lives.

I hope that you had a good time and got to speak with Randi! Thanks for taking our messages to her! I think that she reads DU! :hi:

[libnnc]

6. Tell her I love, love, love her!

Been listening to her since the beginning. I'd love to buy her a beer, or an Appletini...:loveya:

[LisaM]

7. I'm just going to put all the names of people who respond on a list

and tell her that all those people said hi, and the other nice things they say (no offense but I don't think I'll tell her what NOT to say).

[helderheid]

8. Please tell her I am so proud of her and her ovaries for speaking

truth to power, especially in regards to election fraud and 9/11

[LisaM]

9. I'll definitely have the most original conversation!

I'll thank the ovaries for you (except, does she still have them?)

[helderheid]

12. not sure - I know her uterus no longer is with her. Not sure about the

ovaries!

[Cleita]

10. Tell her that we love that she speaks the truth from her

podium even if it could get her into trouble with the Bushistas. Tell her that we've got her back.

[RamboLiberal]

11. Tell her thank you for spending all the time researching the truth

and AAR needs to get her on in Pittsburgh to counter the crap spewed here by local and national wingnuts! We're a Steeler Superbowl city we need a Super truthteller like Randi!

[LisaM]

13. Good one!

I am leaving in about an hour and a half.

[LisaM]

14. Kick in case anyone else wants to send a love note to Randi

:kick:

[acmejack]

17. Tell her I want to have her child!

Uh, we'll have to experiment and try to work around this gender identity thing but anything for her...

[Jeanette in FL]

18. Tell her Jeanette in FL says Hi

I've been listening to her for 18 years. I used to contribute to her show in South Florida when I lived down there. At that time I was Jeanette from Jupiter.

My worst Randi story: She was working at a Rock station "WSHE" and Randi had Motley Crue is the studio. I was a big fan. Loved Nikki Sixx. Randi was giving away front row tickets. I called and got on the air with her and told her why I wanted to see the band again. During the conversation, she asked me "How old are you?". I told her 34. She told me I was too old to go to the concert and to leave the band alone. I swore I was never going to listen to her again. Well of course, I listen the next day after the concert and Randi took off with the band for over a month, nobody knew what the hell was going on.

Years later, when she moved up to WJNO, she had the band Boston in the studio, another great interview. I called up and to talk about the interview and reminded her of our years earlier conversation with Motley Crue and she had remembered the whole scene. She told me she did me a big favor that day, She said "The girls with the band were gorgeous and that I would have felt so inferior." Plus she said you were too old to go, I reminded her that I am only 1 year older than she is. We had a great laugh and she reminisced about her trip with the band.

For the rest of the show, she played one Motley Crue song after the other and she told story after story. It was a great day.

Have a great time Lisa, she is blast in person. I cannot wait to hear your report.

19. I cast a Iching for her and it came up #27 Nourishment

Yi Jing

THE JUDGMENT


THE CORNERS OF THE MOUTH.
Perseverance brings good fortune.
Pay heed to the providing of nourishment
And to what a man seeks
To fill his own mouth with.

I think it fits her quite well.

[JuniperLea]

21. I just got chills... head to toe

Seriously. Very fitting.


Edited to ask... no changing lines?

[IChing]

23. The top line was

line 6= Change at the top means:
The source of nourishment.
Awareness of danger brings good fortune.
It furthers one to cross the great water.

[JuniperLea]

31. Wow... let's keep that in mind if she ever mentions a trip...

Europe, perhaps? Asia? Could be anywhere...

Very interesting. Thanks!

[JuniperLea]

20. Well put JuniperX on the list and tell her

we need about 100 more of her... and that I love her no bullshit attitude... that could even be anti-bullshit when you think about it:)

There are thousands of people on DU waiting for the word when she feels it's time to start the revolution... I know she's holding out until all else fails, but she has a lot of support here if worse comes to worse and we need to take it to the street en mass.

[LisaM]

22. I'll put it on the list.

You should get together with RamboLiberal, you'd be a formidable force!

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

24. Tell Her To Shut Her Yap Every Now And Then When Her Guests Are Speaking.

But tell her other than that her commentary is awesome and keep speaking strength and truth to power.

[LisaM]

25. Now, now

I'll tell her the good part. This is for love notes, remember? If you win tickets to a reception, you can go chastise her. Plus, your team stole my favorite Red Wing, so you're lucky you're even getting on the list! (I know, "stole" isn't the right word, but damn it, I'm going to miss Shanny).

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

26. Woooooohooooooo!!!! (Shanahan). I Also Added A Little More To The

latter statement.

I really do wish she'd stop talking over her guests and callers so much though, as it is quite a turnoff to a lot of listeners. But as far as her intelligence and contributions to the democratic cause and the strength in which she speaks our message, she's dead on.

[JuniperLea]

27. That IS a love note... consider the source!

Hahaha!

*ducks and covers*

[fooj]

28. Please tell her that I think she is a true patriot!

Thanks for giving us this opportunity, Lisa.:hi:

[wryter2000]

29. Tell her

Alice in Oakland loves her. :loveya:

[LisaM]

30. OK, got 'em all and I'm outta here!

Whoo!

[JuniperLea]

32. Can't wait for the report back!

Thanks for doing this! What a rush!!!

[JuniperLea]

34. How'd it go, LisaM? n/t
