The comedian Al Franken, Air America Radio's most prominent host, said yesterday that he did not know whether the hundreds of thousands of dollars apparently lent to the radio network by a Bronx social-service organization had indeed been relayed to Air America by Evan Montvel Cohen. Mr. Cohen simultaneously served as director of the liberal network and development director of the nonprofit Gloria Wise Boys & Girls Club.

Now, if they had just said, "Franken Unaware," that would have been indisputable.
Not news, but indisputable.

Will, don't feel bad...I am sure that every Freeper has made
mistakes at one time or another with posting. I know I have.
If you knew PJ, you would know why so many jumped on you.
It is OK...I am sure everyone got a laugh at your generous expense :)))

I'd be a little concerned about where this "repayment" is going. The money was stolen from the taxpayers of New York. The Gloria Wise outfit has lost their contracts and has a track record of mishandling money, it would seem. Why give them the money unless there is a mechanism in place for them to immediately pay back the grantors? The money needs to go back to the city so it can either be returned to the general fund or be directed toward reputable agencies now tasked to carry out the original mission. I say the city (and state and federal governments if they originated some of the grants in question) should put a lien on Err America's and Gloria Wise's assets until this is all sorted out.

This Cohen IS Guy Cabellero - the SCTV owner who always sat in a wheelchair - not because he couldn't walk, but "for the respect".
For example, Mr. Franken said, he'd complain to Mr. Cohen that studio equipment wasn't working, "and he'd say, 'You know, I have brain cancer.'"

Anyone heard Eliot Spitzer weigh in on this? Haven't seen hide nor hair of the guy. Maybe we should put Eliot's mug on a milk carton.
