"Randi Rhodes (Air America) Banished From Demo Convention Floor By Al Franken???"

This is a second-hand report by a listener to South Florida's Steve Kane Show. I couldn't find anything at the second link about this, so apparently it's radio-only:

I just heard Brian Craig (and Steve Kane) discussing the incredible humiliation of Randi Rhodes at the Democrat Convention yesterday. What happened was that some political comedian on the air invited Randi to walk among the delegates on the floor. Randi replied that she wasn't allowed on the floor and had to stay in the upper reaches of the hall. Brian and Steve were speculating as to whether Randi's floor pass was lifted by either a VERY JEALOUS Al Franken or nervous Democrats.

BTW, it was also mentioned that Randi is NOT allowed in the studio anytime Al Franken is there. Plus she is NOT allowed to talk to any of Franken's guests even off the air.

Apparently Al Franken has some major JEALOUSY problems concerning Randi Rhodes. I do remember when Air America first went on the air, the reviews for Franken were horrible but they also said that Randi was INTERESTING even though she is s WHACKO.

I don't know what they could be worried about... [Am I telegraphing this enough?] There are no Christmas trees at this year's convention.

[You might be wondering: what's all this about the Christmas tree thing? Your confusion is because this was originally posted to Randi Rhodes and her Christmas tree, and you'll need to go there and find out. Keep the above images in your mind, it will help the effect.]
