THAT'S AL, FOLKS Franken wants a paycheckIs Air America Radio going belly up? The troubled left-leaning network is dismissing yesterday's report by Think Progress that it plans to file for bankruptcy on Friday. But you know things must be bad when even your top star can't get paid. "I don't know if that's true or not," Al Franken told Radar late Wednesday, when asked about the bankruptcy report. "We do know that there have been cash-flow problems. I haven't been paid in a while. Like, there's no cash flowing to me."
It's not the first time Franken has gone without a salary. Air America ran out of money promptly after it launched in 2004, after disgraced former chairman Evan Cohen inflated the amount of money he had raised to fund the network.

Maybe he can join the WWE, and write about his exploits in the squared circle.

Not only are conservatives better armed, we're funnier and more interesting, too. People will listen to the TRUTH all day long. But a HATE and LIE FILLED show will perish before the day gets started......

Franken lies.
I would invest no importance in what he says here, especially if he can turn it into a punch line. He is a comedian first and foremost. His pockets could be stuffed with cash earmarked for widows and orphans, and he would still say the same thing and claim to have been "joking" later.

It's impossible to carve out a niche to the Left of the Stone-age press and Deadair was doomed from the beginning. Too much competition for the same braindead listeners. This is just a beginning for The Treason Times.

Air America needed a Rush or Sean Hannity to be a success. Franken and Randi Rhodes were the best they could do. The left failed because they mistakenly believe that Rush and Sean are filled with vile hatred and spew lies. So they try to 'copy' that with Randi and Al, and they fall flat on their face. Rush and Sean speak the truth and do it with good humor. Randi and Al speak of wacky conspiracy theories and do so with vile hatred. It does not work.

This is just so much fun, I always thought that no one could actually listen to the constant hate spuewing from this rag-tag group. I suspect they will be reading this today-so let me say to all of you Un-american leftist. "F**K YOU" !!! an I'll be enjoying your crash

It actually was a Rovian plot to take Leftist money and flush it down the toilet.
And it worked, like all Karl Rove's brilliant plans.
