Cousin Eddie still on the lam

[marmar]

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. — Randy Quaid and his wife remain fugitives from a California court after the couple failed to appear Tuesday for their arraignment on felony vandalism charges for the fourth time.

Santa Barbara Superior Court Judge Donna Geck refused to schedule a new court date for the couple, instead leaving their arrest warrants active. Randy and Evi Quaid have already forfeited more than $1 million in bail for their slew of missed appearances.

Randy Quaid's attorney, Robert Sanger, told the judge that Canadian authorities had confiscated the actor's passport. The Quaids are seeking asylum there, claiming they fear a group they've dubbed the "Hollywood star-whackers."

"Mr. Quaid has had multiple occasions to appear on this matter prior to his passport being taken," Geck said. .........(more)

1. i wonder how many nights in a row staying up on meth it took to concoct this theory..

of "star-whackers?"

3. Most probably, these guys are nuts -- but what if people were also out to get them or at least mess

with them? I mean, even most nutty people don't forfeit millions in bail.

2. Aww...sounds like Cousin Eddie's metal plate might have slipped out of place.

Psychiatrists will say that drugs aren't a factor in schizophrenia, but it seems like a common factor & I believe they do have an effect on those who are predisposed to the disorder.

From what I've read about him, Cousin Eddie's mental health should be evaluated.

I care about what happens to him; he shouldn't go to jail. I wonder if Dennis is having trouble in helping his brother in any way. If Randy is schizophrenic, he may be paranoid about Dennis, since he's in the acting "club" & would likely be uncooperative with Dennis.

I wish Randy the best.

4. I feel sorry for him too.

Remember how good Randy Quaid was in 'LBJ: The Early Years'?

5. Yes, I do! It's been on cable in the past year & I thought he did a great job.

His Cousin Eddie role is about the best comedic role I've ever seen & is my favorite of all his roles.
