Running Out of Air (America)
By Matt Margolis | May 30, 2004
Things continue to get worse for liberal talk radio. From Drudge:
FLASH: Al Franken has agreed not to draw a salary at AIR AMERICA, hoping to keep the fledgling talk-radio network afloat… Developing…
Well, it looks like it’s only a matter of time before Air America completely runs out of air.
Liberals can expect a really nice “We told you so,” when it happens.
UPDATE: Air America’s ratings in NYC leave little to be desired:
- 7. WABC (Rush, Hannity): 3.9 (up from 3.7)
21. WOR (O’Reilly, Savage) : 2.1 (down from 2.2)
24. WLIB (Air Idiot): 1.4 (up from 1.3)

By the way, Al Franken is beating Rush Limbaugh in the ratings:
“But in New York, where Air America still broadcasts over WLIB-1190 AM, the network beat Limbaugh’s station, Disney-owned WABC, among both 25-to-54-year-olds and 18-to-34-year-olds during the 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. period. In the 25-to-54 demographic, WLIB garnered a 3.4 share to WABC’s 3.1; among 18-to-34-year-olds, WLIB won sevenfold with a 2.9 share to WABC’s 0.4.”

Hmm, nothing on the WWII Memorial I see. I was there this weekend. I guess the Greatest Generation doesn’t deserve the adulation that the bashing of Air America gets.
You know, people really sacrificed in that war: victory gardens; gas, cigarette, and meat rationing; recycling rubber and metal and used fats, women painting seams on their legs and no new cars. A Bush Supporter thinks they are doing their part by slapping “BushCheney2004″ over the “Support Our Troops” bumper sticker on their Marines Per Gallon foreign made SUV powered by terrorist financing Saudi gas.

Hey Jay, where is your blog post about the WWII memorial and the greatest generation?

well hopefully it makes Bush look all so great, what with Cheney’s Halliburton troubles (that I and many all told about long ago) and the hell that keeps killing GI’s in Iraq. 60 minutes yesterday showed all the dead souls, and it took over 10 fucking minutes! All those killed and their families, what a total fucking waste of lives. All for nothing. Fuck Bush, and fuck his Iraq slaughter. And fuck you@!

what todd means to say is that nothing is worth fighting or dying for. not even freedom.

Every war America has fought, save the Revolutionary War and World War 2, were fought for other reasons other than freedom. There have been wars other countries have fought that where there was no right or wrong side. The Iraq war was pre-emptive and Iraq was proved not to be an imminent threat, rather it was suffering from its dictatorship, sanctions, and the damage that we inflicted upon it the first Gulf War. We have to stay there to get something out of it but I don’t trust a man who sends Americans to war without long careful discussion, observation, and weighing of the options. At the very least a more coordinated plan for occupation could have been created to lessen the death and mistakes that have occurred.

of course, it wasn’t about being an imminent threat. the point was to get saddam out BEFORE he was as imminent threat. Thats why we can trust Bush as CiC… he wants to protect us the rigth way, as opposed to letting our enemies build up the means to attack us leaving us with few options…
God Bless GWB

What? If there were no immiment threats at the time then maybe there would have been more sense to it. But I’m more concerned at about the constant present threat of Al queda regrouping, North Korea gaining on making use of WMDs it already has, and Chinese moves toward retaking Taiwan. Pre emptive war is nothing more than a nice way of saying an aggresive offensive war and that is what George W. Bush has helped to perform. I am skeptical that Saddam would ever have become a threat again, but now he isn’t. If Bush is willing to prevent precieved threats whats from stopping him from attacking Syria or Iran, or threating other nations that haven’t had good relations with? I think terrorism could have been better fought with world opinon still on our side and pressure put on nations who usually don’t agree with us to crack down on terrorists rather than using invasions to solve our problems.

preemptive war is a means of taking the enemy out before they take you out. if you want ot wait for the missles to be launched against us first before we act, then by all means, vote for Kerry.

Speaking of pre-emptive wars, how soon till we take some pre-emptive action against Iran and it’s quest for nukes?

Was Franken ever charged with assault for punching that Dean heckler?
