They got $4 million dollars in assets? I have that much in my checking account! ... I'm just kidding about the $4 million in the checking account but, folks, that's embarrassing.

I wonder if he said that, and meant it, and then had second thoughts.

Given the bucks that Rush is paid, his having $4M in a checking account would not surprise me.

Rush was kidding. No one keeps that much in their checking account. But when you add up what Air America has on hand as opposed to what they owe, its pathetic. They should sell but I don't think they'd fetch anything near to what the market would price them at. Certainly not enough to pay back all their debts.

Here's my take on that. I think that Rush likely does have $4 million in his checking account (interest-bearing, of course), but it suddenly dawned on him that his propensity for bragging went over the top there and he quickly retracted it.

I like Rush but the man sure does need a few lessons in humility, or at least learning how not to overly brag about his accomplisments and life situation. He could begin by not being so cheap and having professional announcers proclaim his greatness. You know, "A man, a legend, a way of life." Not from his lips, from a disinterested party.
