BEANTOWN BLACKOUT-- Air America Scandal Details Yet To Reach Boston

It may not be as big as Tropical Storm Ophelia, now reaching the Bay State, but surely there must be some reason for the Beantown Air America scandal coverage blackout.

There sure was plenty of room for fawning profiles of liberal talk personalities over the last year in the Boston Globe and weekly Phoenix. Why isn't the diversion of taxpayer funds from a Boys & Girls Club to the liberal network's coffers now equally interesting?

After all, there are two Air America stations in the Boston area, while several personalities and network executives have Massachusetts ties. We hear Al Franken knows quite a lot about Cambridge.

If you were to ask the MSM, I'm sure they'd say something like:

"Well, we THOUGHT Air America was important news when it looked like they could derail Bush, but now they're old hat."

"Well, we THOUGHT Cindy Sheehan was important news when it looked like she could derail Bush, but now she's old hat."

"Well, we THOUGHT John Kerry was important news when it looked like he could derail Bush, but now he's old hat."

"Well, we THOUGHT Joe Wilson was important news when it looked like he could derail Bush, but now he's old hat."

"Well, we THOUGHT The Downing Street Memo was important news when it looked like it could derail Bush, but now it's old hat."

"Well, we THOUGHT The National Guard Story was important news when it looked like it could derail Bush, but now it's old hat."

"Well, we THOUGHT The Jeff Gannon scandal was important news when it looked like it could derail Bush, but now it's old hat."

"Well, we THOUGHT Howard Dean was important news when it looked like he could derail Bush, but now he's old hat."

Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
