Farewell, Air America, when we need it most (Ron Reagan Barf)

Looking forward to the day that I can say “Farewell, Salon, you will not be missed.”

That's just too bad, Ron . . . may I call you Ron? I don't want to call you Ronald, or Dutch, or anything else. One would think that this would be precisely the time that Air America would shine. What happened?

Maybe Ronald Reagan, if he was alive, could provide some clues to solving this puzzle.

[krb]

Ron, you just don’t get it. Air America didn’t fail because conservative radio beat it. It failed because it competes for the same audience with government funded NPR.

[LikeLight]

I'm partial to this line of Ron's rant:

Say hello to President Palin and her secretary of state, Glenn Beck.

[smokingfrog]

Does little Ronny actually think anyone was listening to him?

[NautiNurse]

Does little Ron serve cheese with his whine?

[Artemis Webb]

As a baby Ron was dropped on his head one too many times by Nancy.

[Stepan12]

If he weren't the 40th President's son, he would be calling him an old, senile actor, too.

Miserable twerp.

young president with a mandate for real systemic change

Obama IS doing what he promised - redistribution of wealth.

I don't understand why Ron Reagan is disappointed.

[highlander_UW]

I highly doubt that we “need” Error Amerika. After all, there are plenty of avenues to hear idiotic opinion detached from reality spouted still available for liberals. ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC and the vast majority of newspapers in the nation to name just a few.

[tet68]

So, just when the left could use it most, a platform for progressive thought and opinion disappears.

It’s called economics Ron.

Fewer listeners = less Ad revenue.

Less Ad Revenue = Less advertisers.

Even socialists aren’t going to invest in a
losing proposition forever.

[rbmillerjr]

Ahh poor Ron (no reall Reagan)

Perhaps Ron and Rahm can get together and throw a benefit ballerina dance.

[Balding_Eagle]

Great article.

Ah, to hear the lamentations of their women!

[rfpzzzzz]

Brown will cleanse that Mass seat from the shame of Chappaquiddick and the countless excesses of old Kennedy. I hate to bash the dead but they keep acting like this guy was a saint or something. Mass. is very lucky to move on from the Kennedy’s.

[alecqss]

and without doubt, Rush Limbaugh is making a complete ass of himself.

You wish, babe...

[Thrownatbirth]

Supreme Court has brazenly revealed its corporatist agenda

Ron, you were too young to be a 60's radical, but that hasn't stopped you from sounding just as stupid.

[Riptides]

Ron,

Air Amerika failed because you and your socialist broadcasters had a never-ending agenda of demonizing and attacking the United States as wicked and evil.
I suggest that you and your buddies move to Venezuela where Chavez will welcome you with open arms.

[SkipW]

BooHoo! I am so depressed about this. Oh well. I guess I’ll build myselve a Margarita and drink in rememberence of them.

I can’t imagine life without Jeanine Garafolo. On the bright side this may free her up for a job in the Obama White house. Or maybe she can run for Congress. ACORN is still around to help get out the vote.

[ottbmare]

At times like these, I’m so glad President Reagan has passed away, so that he doesn’t have to endure the pain of knowing what a complete pig his biological son is.

At least Michael should have given him pride.
