Air America, the liberal radio counterpart to Rush Limbaugh, is now asking its listeners to send in money, leading some analysts to say the network is "crumbling."

The network, featuring voices including Al Franken and Janeane Garofalo, has developed a program where people become "associate" members by contributing cash.

I bet if Rush sent them a check, they would cash it.

"We know we can't achieve this next stage of growth without significant help from you, our loyal listeners,"

Couldn't happen to a better group of pukes.

RATS running out of loot? Can't be. Just like health care, radio should be FREE!

They couldn't afford to buy any of the crap hawked on the shows anyway

Funny you should mention that.. Most of the commercials are for miracle vitamins and anti-balding drugs. The local affiliate (WCKY) runs religious programming in the overnight hours... whats up with that!

"I sent a paid for Kerry campaign return envelope back with 50 some pennies taped inside..."

I wouldn't be surprised to find out they sent you EVEN MORE mail - G.Soros is paying for it, after all, what do THEY care?

[JoeSixPack1]

I'll match that $20 if she gets it branded on instead! :-)

[Reagan80]

You betcha!

That's actually a great idea...

I like that look on his face. It is the same look he will have when he meets his maker.

When I got "Push Poll" phone calls... I told them everything they wanted to hear.

Associates, huh?
They need to point out to their potential donors: "Now, you, too can be called the same thing as a Wal-Mart employee"!

They expect their listeners to send money?  AA's target audience are left wing libbies who think that everything from coffee to music to internet should be free.

Good luck with that.

[Arpege92]

If I send in a penny, do you think it would pi$$ off the libs?

[Xenalyte]

I'd be a little more mean . . . make it a quarter. The required cost/benefit analysis calculations would short-circuit what passes for their minds.

"We know we can't achieve this next stage of growth without significant help from you, our loyal listeners,"

That "stage of growth" would be eating, paying the rent or buying drugs.

[Arpege92]

How about a Canadian penny? Or Monopoly money? Or a personal check dated for the year 3001?

[softwarecreator]

Hahaha ... good idea.  I can just see Al Franken going to the bank with a bag full of rolled up coins.

[softwarecreator]

Or a personal check dated for the year 3001?

Perfect!  =)

And make the check for $1.00!

[Xenalyte]

And they'd make him unroll every roll, since they don't take 'em like that!

What I want to know is where I can get a canvas bag with a big dollar sign on the side. You know, the kind the cartoon bank robbers used to run off with after the heist.

[TheForceOfOne]

When Err America finally signs off for the last time look for CNN to scoop up on Franken to create the Matthews & Franken Show which will promptly draw even lower ratings than the former John McEnroe Show on NBC, if that is possible.

Hello welcome to the show!
