"I'm a businessman used to making money and Air America will be no exception,"

wanna bet?

I've got some good advice for him if he wants to turn a profit:

Book conservative talk shows.

That GIANT sucking sound you hear is Air America!

When Air America's parent filed for bankruptcy on Oct. 13, 2006, the company reported it had lost $9.1 million in 2004, $19.6 million in 2005 and $13.1 million as of the filing in 2006.

Green must need some tax deductions really bad -or- he's an idiot.

Ha, ha, ha, ha!

Now THAT would be funny.

"Bush is a jerk." Is that the 19 hours of original programming a day he's talking about?

[unkus]

Pure wishful thinking, grasping for straws, liberal nonsense.

[TexasCajun]

...and just what he go for his money and assumed liabilities?

[Buck W.]

"...but it's also been an underperforming asset..."
That's the understatement of the month!

[MPJackal]

Huh? I was talking about AA sucking the money from the Greens. What were you referring to?

Air America first launched in 2004 and has lost money ever since.

Sounds like a winner to me.

"Hi! I'm Al Franken and I want to be your senator!"

He is going to end up with a small fortune on Air America, by starting out with a large fortune.

[zavvone]

Sounds like he just bought a ticket on the Titantic and threw his life jacket overboard!!

For those who don't know, Mark Green was the Democrat nominee for NYC mayor in the 2001 election, who got his clock cleaned by Michael Bloomberg.

I lived in Albany at the time and read the NY Post nearly every day. That was the election where the NY Times endorsed Green (naturally), the Daily News endorsed Bloomberg, and the Post endorsed no one.

Q: How does one make a small fortune with Air America Radio?

A: Start with a large one.

Seems like there's some "creative writing" involved in this deal;
