Anybody stupid enough to extend credit to the Titanic of the Ultra-Liberal media deserves to lose their money.

Well, almost.

I'm sure Franken got his paycheck.

Kimball is owed $84,893 in back pay, according to court documents. Diamond Broadcasting is owed $500,000, but its claim is listed as "disputed."

It's standard practice in cases like this for the bad guys to dispute claims of genuine creditors in order to increase the amount of money available to pay their buddies. I can't believe that Franken's producer was considered sufficiently unaffiliated so as to be put on the creditor's committee. Sounds like the fix is in.

Where is White Knight Soros with his checkbook?

"American Federation of Television & Radio Artists, a union..."



Your first thought is that they are jerking the union around, but if you think about it, you realize that the union probably never expected to get paid in the first place, and was doing this merely as a political donation. Now that it looks like the payment is going to come out of the hides of other creditors rather than their liberal co-conspirators, though, the union suddenly shifts gears and wants to get paid.
