Did you forget to listen to Air America?:Air America Bankrupt: Please Settle All Bets.

By Moe Lane

From out of the blue comes a startling revelation: Air America, powerhouse of the liberal talk-show circuit and stake through the heart of VRWC minions everywhere, is going bankrupt.

'Zounds, the shock of it all. I'd excerpt, except that all you really need is the title ("Air America To Declare Bankruptcy, But Progressive Radio Remains Strong"). Be honest: you could write the article from that alone.

Read on.

Like Mark over at Decision '08 I'm amused as all get-out over this. He notes:

How bad is Air America? So bad that with the opposition party holding both chambers of Congress and the White House (the ideal position for talk radio - being on the opposite side of Clinton made Rush Limbaugh a star), and with voter discontent with the ruling party at historically high levels, they can’t stay afloat.

Which is true; so true. I seem to dimly remember commenting somewhere or other that Air America's bankroll would be better spent somewhere else than on what was essentially a cargo-cult scenario, but did they listen? No, they did not - but they put quite a bit of money into circulation trying, and, you know, in an election year, every little bit helps. So I suppose that they did help with the election... just on my side. That's something, yes?

The remaining question is, of course, whether they're going to send another 40,000 volts through the corpse and try to get it off the slab. I would think 'no'... but then again, I expected them to dump the silly thing after the '04 election. I figure that it was due to pride. You got to watch out for pride: it'll mess with your head every time...
