Randi Rhodes says Air America is OK!

[Chicago Democrat]

they can't talk about it, but she implies that the fired execs might be GOP plants.

Gee no wonder they got screwed in Chicago and LA? The boss wasnt working for them!

Wow!

[stopthegop]

1. seriously...how would that be possible...?

doesn't anything EVER go wrong that isn't the fault of Repubs?

[linazelle]

2. What?

I supposed the real question for you is whether anything ever goes wrong that isn't the fault of Democrats? Well...I'm waiting.

[stopthegop]

4. the Iraq war for starters...at least the conduct of it..

how's that?
nice deflection of my point, BTW

[Catch22Dem]

11. Did you read something differently than I did?

I thought he was saying everything that goes wrong is the fault of the repubs. Maybe I'm missing something here. Sorry :(

[Skittles]

18. you know it, linazelle

it gets tiresome, doesn't it?

[SlavesandBulldozers]

5. no

everything is the GOP's fault. Seriously.

[robbedvoter]

6. Yup. I agree.

[ibegurpard]

8. what's your point?

of course not EVERYTHING is the fault of the Republicans. However, why would you dismiss this out of hand? It's completely beyond the realm of possibility?

[stopthegop]

9. no completely....IMO very unlikely though...

they set up a 'liberal alternative' and didn't know the people running it?

[robbedvoter]

10. Well, voters didn't know Zell. or Koch. Or Joe. Happens all the time.

Teresa laPore. Begala. Carville. Snafi. Donna Brazile. Temptations are great.

[OKNancy]

12. Is there ever a post of yours

that is positive toward Democrats?

[robbedvoter]

3. back in April, I wrote to the station address re: "Gore lost on Unfiltered

I got some rude remarks culminating with "get a life" and later, the same individual wrote me implying that I sent him viruses and addressing 'you liberals' and a torrent of invectives. It was strange.
They got their own e-mail addys since.

[Logansquare]

17. Robbedvoter--was it one of the execs who wrote back to you?

I've read some interesting things about one of them.

[still_one]

7. It's Clinton's fault

[Tansy_Gold]

13. There was a post here in LBN about a week ago that gave

some of the details of the two execs who were removed. At least was identified as being a Republican and/or having donated considerable sums of money to the GOP.

I'll see if I can find a link.

Air America Radio chief resigns
May 6, 2004, 6:01 PM CDT

In yet another sign of trouble for Air America Radio, the liberal talk network entering its fifth chaotic week on the air, co-founder and chairman Evan Cohen resigned Thursday, as did vice-chairman and investor Rex Sorensen.

The departures of Cohen, a former Republican political operative from Guam who was among the network's initial investors, and Sorenson, an investor who owns radio stations in Guam , mark the second executive shake-up at the fledgling network in as many weeks.

Replacements for Walsh and Cohen have yet to be named. Asked when those executive positions would be filled, Sinton replied: "I wouldn't hold my breath."

Really. But I honestly believe the good guys always win in the end.
