This is just my theory
The point I made on Hugh's show today was that I suspect someone has made a deal to funnel money through these charities, then the charities buy commercial time on air america, then the charities take a cut and get a way of promoting their non-profit. This way the backers of Air america can write off their donations through the non-profit and still fund a commercial and political venture.
My guess would be that if we looked into their books we would see large donations to these charities and then look into the stations books on how much air time was booked by these non-profits. The difference between the donations and the cost of air time would be the non-profits cut to run it through the books.
Comments?
Mind you, if AG Spitzer lets this scandal "slide" he could end up being accused to being a hypocrite and a Democratic Party hack, which could end up hurting his chances for being elected Governor of New York state. Someone should check out how the New York AG's office is handling this case....
On the other hand this could be his Sister Soldier moment.
