FORGET NEW ORLEANS; DONATE TO WEALTHY IDIOTS

In what is described as an “unusual move for commercial radio”, Air America is begging listeners for money. For $250, you get your name read out. For $1000, Al Franken might sever a body part. Another $500, Janeane Garofalo will eat it.

Michelle Malkin has terabytes of background on this debacle.

  1. I’m earmarking my contribution “Randi Rhodes’ psychotherapy”. No way am I funding her three-pack-a-day carcinoma-fest.

  2. I can actually see this work. It’s still a year to the mid-term elections, so there are probably plenty of gullible liberals who haven’t wasted their money donated to the cause yet this year.

  3. I want to hear Al Franken beg - BEG - for money like those folks on National Proletariat Radio.  His segment could be called “Lying Liars and the Liars that talk about them to Idiots who Listen to Lies”

    Then I can change the station to listen to some bouncy pop-tart tunes or some sports or conservative talk radio.

    Yes. Yes, that would feel good.

    Cheers - DC

  4. How much to get Al to sever his own testicles? Oh, wait—he’s a liberal—he doesn’t have any.

    His spleen’s probably too well vented to be of interest. His heart bled out years ago. His head’s empty and his funny bone vanished with the Decade of Al Franken (1980-89, for SNL fans with long memories).

    No, I’m sorry, there’s no part of Al Franken worth having.

  5. While Al Franken is reduced to begging for money, Rush Limbaugh is practically printing the stuff.  He has a $250 million contract with Clear Channel through 2009.

    Air America has been a money sink since day one so it’s only a matter of time before even big money sugar daddies like George Soros decide to quit throwing good money after bad.

  6. They’ve been competing with NPR for listeners.  After this, the only step remaining to becoming NPR2 is to get a government subsidy.

  7. Speaking of donating money to wealthy idiots, I just received an email from John Kerry asking for contributions for Democratic candidates.  Among them, Robert “The Crossburner” Byrd and Jim Pederson of Arizona.  Pederson is so cash-poor that he managed to contribute millions of his own money to the Democratic Party in Arizona.  A champion of democracy, Pederson was also instrumental in keeping Ralph Nader off the presidential ballot in that state.

  8. Just call all and order a speedball.  That’ll get his cash flow back up.

  10. Ah, the Decade of Al Franken. That was a magnificent bit.

    Nowadays, though, I can’t help but wonder if he meant it seriously.

    See, that’s why we need the Fairness Doctrine. It’s unfair that there is a single medium that’s dominated by conservatives. Liberal media hegemony must be maintained! The free market sux, dude!

  12. In related news that mighty Australian bastion of truth justice and the cuban way “Green left weekly” is also begging its (approximate but true) 3 readers for 100,000 in cash to keep it going.
    Even J.Pillger supports it so it must be a good thing!!!

  13. What the fools at Air America refused to understand is that the media ARE biased toward liberals. (They honestly think that since newspapers and air time are sold, then ipso facto, it’s capitalism and therefore media are tools of right-wing hatemonger billionaires.)

    Had they digested this bit of truth they would have known that no one buys the cow when the milk is free. Sour, yes—but such large portions!

  16. I have a cunning plan!
    Someone send them an old tape of “Debbie does Dallas”, for inspiration.
    Randi allready has a name for porn and with a bit of suitable tweaking the others could follow.
    Al “Frankenpenis”, and Janeane “Goodfelatio” anyone? Or do they have the perfect faces for radio??
    (apologies to anyone eating )

  17. My God!
    That would shame even the most grizzled Japanese bukkake tentacle fan.
