Randi Rhodes Begs For Attention To Planned Weapons Test (Update2 - Video)

I am a CNN News junkie. I know, I know - it's the so-called mainstream media and information is difficult to come by. But given that I work partially from a home office, it is very easy to have CNN on in the background to catch any breaking news that might be intersting.

As such, I was watching Lou Dobbs last night. He had a great panel - Randi Rhodes of Air America, Mark Simone of ABC, and James Mtume of KISS FM. The panel was discussing whatever administration subject Lou threw its way. Until they got to Randi Rhodes.

That's when my face went white.

From the transcript:

Mtume and Rhodes are generally discussing whether or not Democrats laid down when challenged at various points.

MTUME: But we laid down, Randi. We laid down.

RHODES: ... I did not come here to be partisan. I came here today, Lou -- I swear to you -- I came here today to ask you to do something. Seriously! My callers -- my listeners -- yours, too, I'm sure -- always get to this point and they go, well, then, James, what do you want us to do? What do we do? What do we do?

If every single camera that's available in the media -- cable- wide, network-wide -- is not in Nevada at the nuclear test site on June 2nd to watch 1.4 millions pounds of explosives be blown up so they can do the math and figure out how to make a tactical nuke, a smaller nuclear weapon that will represent that much firepower for Iran -- if we don't show America this mushroom cloud that will explode in Nevada on the 2nd of June, there is no hope for the American people, there is no hope for the media.

You asked me last time I was here, Who's fault is it? And I said, "It's our fault; it's the media's fault." We have to tell this story. This president is manifestly insane. Donald Rumsfeld is insane.

My emphasis added. I guess it's shame on me for not having heard about this test before Randi Rhodes dropped that particular bomb on Dobbs' show. Believe me, if you read the transcript, it wasn't in context at all. Rhodes just wanted to get it out there, to raise awareness, and raise it she did.

So I headed on over to Randi's website to get more information. A little way down the home page I see this:
