Eric Rudolph is a brilliant guy who is also evil.

From those pictures, it looks like she's gotten bigger again, since her shoots with Jodi Miller a while ago.

Those are old pics.

I saw her at Max & Erma's in Columbus at the Arnold.  I was eating dinner with Tre Scott, Mike Eckstut and Jennifer Cowan, and Tre thought she was Amy Fadhli.  I said, "Amy Fadhli!?  That's Amanda Savell!"  And Tre said, "Oh, you're right."

In his defense she was very cut and very brown from tanning solution, and almost unrecognizable.

That was the remake.  This is the original:

It's like "Land of the Lost" in reverse!

The really interesting thing about the Rudolph family in general is their level of commitment.  A lot of people don't know that while the FBI was hunting Eric Rudolph, as a statement of protest his brother Daniel Rudolph set up a video camera in front of a circular saw, applied a tourniquet to his arm, said "This is for the FBI and media," and then used the saw to cut off his own left hand. 

So I don't know where you draw the line between "nutcase" and "unusually determined".  Using a circular saw to sever one of your own limbs as a statement of solidarity is arguably on the nutcase side of that line.  Still, ya gotta admire that level of commitment.  The first time I heard about Daniel's purposeful dismemberment I said aloud, "Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker."  And even though Eric is a murdering maniac, there's a little bit of me that admires how he was able to evade the FBI in one small corner of North Carolina for five years.

They're opposites, really.  Jewell was a man of limited gifts who did everything he could to be decent and to have a positive effect on the world.  Rudolph is a man of extraordinary talents who still wants to be a monster.  Both succeeded, but now Jewell is dead while Rudolph will spend the rest of his life in the "Supermax" Federal prison in Florence, Colorado.

Poor guy. :'(  I knew nothing of the story, other than the fact that a nutcase was eventually sentenced over it.

I wouldn't primarily characterize Eric Robert Rudolph as a "nutcase".  "Terrorist" or "wannabe terrorist" are better designations, as is "monster".  I doubt he's the most mentally balanced person out there, but his defining characteristic is a willingness to kill people to achieve domestic political outcomes.

Yeah that sucks some people just get the short stick in life, the FBi probably harassed him years after.

I think once the FBI admitted its error and actually "cleared" him of wrongdoing (which is extremely rare for it to do following an investigation), that was the end of his trouble with the bureau.
