Air America Scandal Sunday Highlights; Big Questions From Arizona
The Radio Equalizer- Brian Maloney ^ | August 14th, 2005 | Brian Maloney

Some of the best questions yet on Air America's scandal, where $875,000 in taxpayer-funded community center grants instead went to the liberal radio network, appear in today's paper.

To which New York publication might the Radio Equalizer be referring?

Actually, none of them: it's all in today's Arizona Republic, 3000 miles away from the crime scene.

In a blunt, knock-'em-dead op-ed column by Doug MacEachern, we see what was once a given in New York City journalism, tough talk:

Doesn't seem to be much news in the RE update.

He has noticed that calling this scandal "Air Enron"
is actually more insulting to Enron than to Air America.

From the Arizona Republic:

Oh, they've changed the company name. They've rearranged a few deck chairs. But the legal distinctions they have erected are in place precisely to protect them from the responsibility to pay off the debts, including the Gloria Wise "loans," incurred while Cohen was working side by side with them.

I don't know just how to say this, but the next time the AA folks start ranting about the Bush Administration, someone needs to ask, "which one?" Then point out that there are more differences between the 2001 and 2005 administration leadership than there are between Progressive and Piquant.

Someone much wittier than I can probably distill that thought down into an understandable statement.

Old FBI investigative technique:

I thought liberals "cared" about the children.

Con men often pose as caring about this or that as part of a ploy to relieve the marks of their hard-earned cash.

In this case the marks are us, through a defrauding of the government program.

The plight of the children was just a tool to be used to pry away the loot. Nothing unusual about that.

Remember. To liberals it's the message, not the method.
