Liberal yakker Al Franken blasted the man who founded his Air America radio network as "a crook" on Monday - even as he laughed off the financial scandal that continues to dog his broadcast.
After weeks of on-air silence about an $875,000 loan that Air America finagled from a Bronx community group that serves poor kids and Alzheimers patients, Franken was finally forced to discuss the scandal when a caller asked him to explain.
"Here's the deal," the Air America host said. "The first guy who was chairman of the board of Air America - Evan Cohen - was a crook, it turns out. I mean, I guess that's the only way to put it."
Explaining Cohen's role in ripping off the kids' club, Franken suddenly turned giddy.
"He borrowed $875,000," he said, erupting in laughter. "I don't know why they did it and I don't know where the money went."
Franken said he "imagines" that the funds earmarked for childrens' programs were instead "used for operations" at Air America, which was strapped for cash at the time.
"[Cohen] was robbing Peter to pay Paul," he explained.

....Al muttered, they're coming to take me away, ha ha. They're coming to take me away, tee hee....to the funny farm....
Perfect reply.
I'm glad this idiot thinks stealing money from kids is so funny. I hope he still finds it funny when he's somebody's b*tch in D Block.
"I'm glad this idiot thinks stealing money from kids is so funny"
Liberal idiots think everything is a big joke. It's part of being a deluded fool lving in an insulated bubble sphere of arrested developement.
They're coming to take me away,
Haha, they're coming to take me away
Ho ho, hee hee, ha ha
To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time
And I'll be happy to see
Those nice young men
In their clean white coats
And they're coming to take me away,
Ha Haaaa!
a disgrace that MSM isnt covering this at all
You know, I can believe this. Al is this dumb.
The Irony isn't that Rush is getting Paid millions to be on the radio, the real irony is that a 17 year old kid working at a 1,000 watt station in the middle of Iowa is making more money than Al Franken
Yes - most newly launched radio programs get this type of free PR. No agenda evident here. I especially enjoyed their documentary on Hannity - it was so even handed.
Let's hope they call a "Spade a spade" now - "leftist activists steal from children and elderly to promote their agenda". That is the story - will we see an HBO special on that?

Tell me that you remember that song. 8^)
Yeah, right, AL. I gotcha right here, you lying, useless POS.
I am sure Al makes plenty off of speaking engagements/debates ect... Now I only wish Ann Coulter had declined those debates with the AL jerk, it put money in his coffers, perhaps money he needed to keep up with the image he projects while not being paid.
I invoke The Rule.
