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

Book conservative talk shows.

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.

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

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

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

Sounds like a winner to me.

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

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.

but it's also been an underperforming asset with unrealized potential," he said.

Fancy was of saying "it stinks".

"I'm a businessman used to making money and Air America will be no exception," Stephen Green said in a statement.

The market for stupidity is limited. Once they buy AA, the market is saturated. He said they had plans to turn the business around by next year.

Just marked March 6th on next years calender.

Song: There Is A Sucker Born Every Minute Lyrics

There is a sucker born every minute
Each time the second hand sweeps to the top
Like dandelions up they pop,
Their ears so big, their eyes so wide.
And though I feed ‘em bonafide baloney
With no truth in it
Why you can bet I’ll find some rube to buy my corn.
‘Cause there’s a sure-as-shooting sucker born a minute,
And I’m referrin’ to the minute you were born.

Each blessed hour brings sixty of ‘em
Each time the wooden cuckoo shows his face
Another sucker takes his place,
And plunks his quarter on the line
To buy my brand of genuine malarkey.
God bless and love ‘em!
But don’t feel sad or hoppin’ mad or cause a scene
‘Cause there’s a sure-as-shooting sucker born a minute,
But Ma’am you mighta been the minute in between.

If I allow that right here in my hands
The smallest living human man
The sight of that is surely worth a dime
If I present an educated pooch
Who’s trained to dance the hoochie cooch
What better way to waste a bit of time
If I imported monumental cost
A lady, fair, who’s head was lost
While crossing railroad tracks to pick some zinnias
Who eats farina through a hose
And wares pink tights instead of clothes
If that ain’t worth a buck my name ain’t Phineas

Aw you say that’s hog wash well who cares
You’ll buy my hog was long as

There’s a sucker born every minute
Each time the second hand sweeps to the top
Like dandelions up they pop,
Their ears so big, their eyes so wide.
And though my tale is bonafide baloney,
Just let me spin it,
And ain’t no man who can resist me wait and see
‘Cause there’s a sure-as-shooting sucker born a minute,
And friends the biggest one excluding none is me!

He might not be a complete nut. The name has a lot of support with lefties and they do have some money / listenership.

He'd have to change the whole business model and/or way of operating though for the thing to make approach breaking even.

Still its a long shot.
