OMG that was funny, here's 'my' conspiracy:

George W. Bush allowed 9/11 to happen so that Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, and SUV owners could conquer The French.

No, but you already know that.

I even watch spanish soaps for the arguments sometimes.

I watch them for the good looking women. I don't even care what they are saying.

My quote for the day - "I'm shocked, shocked that the big fat idiot is off the air already." Maybe scheduling the big fat idiot against Rush wasn't such a good idea; their potential listeners aren't awake yet even on the East Coast.

Siren on Drudge. (hehehehe!)

It says they 'bounced a check'. Come on, libs, cough up more money!

Here's yet another gem from DUmmieland:

44. This is Kerry's chance to be inclusive.

Just like Fritz Mondale chose Geraldine Farraro in what was obviously a losing cause, this is John Karry's chance to choose a minority candidate for VP for what is again an obvious losing cause. We've got to keep the inclusivity upperhand. As much as I hate dubya, I think that short of murdering someone in the Oval Office, he can't possibly screw the pooch because most Americans feel as if they'd be changing horses in mid-stream if he isn't re-elected. That being said, unless we want the first minority vice presidential candidate to be Condoleeza Rice in 2008, John Kerry needs to find a member of the minority community to be his running mate NOW. It was Nixon who created the EPA and got us out of Vietnam. The first black NSA advisor and the first black Secretary of State are Republicans. This trend has to stop.

Drudge Siren!

After just two weeks on the air, Air America Radio, the fledgling liberal talk-radio network featuring Al Franken and Janeane Garofalo, appears to have encountered serious cash-flow problems. The network was pulled off the air this morning in Chicago and Los Angeles, the network's second- and third-largest markets, because, the owner of both stations said, the network bounced a check and owes him more than $1 million. A charge the network strongly denies...

 

AIR AMERICA 'BOUNCES CHECK'; LIBERAL RADIO NET TAKEN OFF AIR IN LOS ANGELES, CHICAGO AFTER ONLY TWO WEEKS

[cyborg]

depressing to turn on WLIB and hear Franken hamming it up with his sideshow slut over a barmitzvah.

[lunatic12]

Ha, their check bounced!!!

And they want control over our nation's budget?

[lsucat]

Beautiful!

[eyespysomething]

Bunch of kooks over there, I tell ya!

You're one to talk, lol.

"Their influence there should surely swing NYC into the liberal column"
So ya think Bush should not waste time campaigning in NY? Wonder if Lib radio will claim to have carried NY for Kerry.

"Air America sang to the tune of Bloodrocks DOA)"

Jeez, do you mean there's someone else out there who remembers that song?

Does that knowledge consign us to the category of "Old F*rts"?

The claim this morning was that the LA and Chicago stations were already in or near bankruptcy when they signed with ErrAmerica, and that the EA contract had become entangled in the bankruptcy proceedings.

Possible, I suppose, but realistically, it sounds like bu||$h!t to me.

[wallcrawlr]

I admit I listened just now for about 5 minutes. BIG MISTAKE.

O'Franken just said that when you think of the mad, angry attitude coming from GW think of Barbara Bush. Thats where it comes from.

I couldnt believe what I was hearing.

Rush just said Air America owes a MILLION dollars to the radio owners. Suggested they apply for a federal grant, but can't figure out which one. bwahahaha ! Air America, out of cash, already !

[TexanToTheCore]

It sounds me as if a major investor has pulled out or is about to.

Schadenfreude, Schadenfreude, Hi nigh nighnee and a ha cha cha!
