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.
It's a good one. :-)
They had a picture of a woman-I think this was at the Kerry-Edwards HQ in Ohio-who was wearing this ridiculously oversized "VOTA POR KERRY," bilingual campaign button, and crying so profusely that you would have thought she had lost her first-born child.
The best part of it was that she looked Swedish!
:)
LOL!!! Got any pics?
bttt
Unfortunately, I think you'd have to pay for the article now, since it's probably been archived.
I actually kept the "Election" section of that issue until a few weeks ago-right before my family's apartment was bug-bombed-because it was so great.
They also had a feature that focused on despondent liberals who couldn't reconcile themselves to President Bush's decisive reelection.
Let that be a lesson for you; NEVER GET RID OF ANYTHING!
;)
Well, I don't think I can be a packrat, LOL!
:7)
Seriously though, I'm not that bad about it.
Unless we're talking about books, magazines, newspapers, etc...
In that respect I suppose I'm a little bit like the Collier Bros.

Well, ya know what we used to say: It takes one to know one!
I remember a thread or two about Al Franken's physical assault on a heckler at a rally for one of the Dhimmicrat candidates in 2004. Couldn't find it, but I didn't look that hard.
oh, oh! My tagline fits here!

RICO?
The man who thought Richard Nixon was the devil, thinks it's a funny joke to steal from needy children.
LOL! Good one.
"STAMP OUT LEFTIST INTELECTUALS"
OK! - If you can find one let me know!
"... when he's somebody's b*tch in D Block."
No, that's not punishment to him. Al (frankly, I can't be frank) Franken, would like it too much. Put him in solitary and force him to listen to AirAmerica replays over and over!
