"Maybe it has something to do with the investor watch frankenfart fall on his fat face on "liberal radio"?"

Right on the money! You don't buy success - you earn it. There are always major up front costs and often the need to lose money for a while. But Rule #1: give the people what they want. Sure many libs would love to have a talk radio counterpunch but the demographics they are trying to get (18-35) are at this very moment playing video games, getting drunk or watching the boob tube. Conservative talk radio succeeded after a long incubation period because it filled a perspective-void. Liberal radio does not because they already have plenty of players in the game. TV, movies, education, heck, apparently the CIA. You can't create demand without a very long marketing strategy that, as I said before, will always run in the red for a long time. Franken, Gore etc. do not have the patience or the deep pockets (they are doing alright but not that good.)

The guy pulled out just in time. At least Al doesn't have to worry that he might be pregnant.

Another sign that the liberal paradigm is dead and it's not coming back.

He probably listened to a couple of hours of Err America and thought, "Who the hell would ever want to watch this on TV?"

How are his ratings (not good I assume since they only have like 10 stations).

I guess the buddhist nuns have closed their tent. Poor Al. His life is a like a bad case of acne. It keeps erupting into ungly sores.

"Algore: always a bridesmaid..."

So, that's why he's always in those ugly dresses.

There use to be a female impersonate, Charles Pierce, who "did" he better than she did herself.

He was the one I got the "Pity" remark from. He was fabulous!

Maybe FreeRepublic should buy the station and get the real news out. Of course that $60,00 donation figure would have to be raised a bit.

"I want my wood TV."

It appears termites destroyed it before it ever got a chance to leave the rain forest.
