| #30 LOTR, I think you may be right about Frank J. or a fan. Mucky isn't quite as good as Treachers' Puce. But he's worth reading for the entertainment value. |

| #29 Rubber Chex? Soros is supposed to be bankrolling Air America. I thought He was Donkey Daddy Warbux?!?!?! Al Franken better watch out. They'll reposess his pink highliter! (See Drudge) |

| #27 muck4doo is either Frank J. or a fan. He first appeared here on Rantburg after Frank posted a satire of a DU Thread. One of the characters in the satire was muck4doo. Excellent work, Frank J or whoever he/she/it is. :) |

| #26 I wonder how long before they can't afford to pay Franken for his show? |

| #25 muck4doo is definately Frank J. from IMAO, making him indeed one of the most brilliant satirists on the web. I've said this several times and the muckster has never tried to deny it. |

| #23 Check out the picture of Franken on Drudge. He has that same look that the dinosaurs did when the asteroid came tearing in through the atmosphere. |

| #22 muck4doo, I can't decide if you are the dumbest troll on the net or the most brilliant satirist I've ever seen, but I'm always entertained by your posts. Dude, you are the William Hung of blog commenters! |

| #21 GO MUCKY! |
| Posted by: Evert Visser in NL 2004-04-14 5:38:48 PM |
| #20 Lets just say: theat confirms some suspicions I had about Mucky for some time now. |

| #19 Nah...Karl Rove did it. He planned the whole thing ..from start to finish ...just to spectacularly embarrass the dems. He even paid for the pre-advertising hype to let everyone know it was out there - so that we'd all see it go down in a blaze of Dimmicrat flag burning Glory. |

| #18 Since the LLL loves conspiracy theories, I'm gonna post one of my own. *g* Everybody with a functioning brain stem knew this radio So why pay the bill? Just dump it (and their bills) and go, and then claim that their "Voice" was driven from the airwaves by a great conspiracy concocted by the Right Wing Radio Machine™. Lots of raving and gnashing of teeth over the Supression of Dissent, and Soros (and whoever else funded this lunacy) gets to keep their money. /LLL Off |

| #15 Wow - thanks for the tip to go check the comments thread over there, Raj. Mucky's even less coherent there than here - we just be good for him. lol |

| #14 According to Drudge,RightNation threads, and Rush. Someone wrote a check that bounced to the tune of over $1,000,000 for both the LA and Chicago markets!... Don't the folks at MoonBat Central understand anything about Capitalism???.. Laughing so hard my sides hurt! |

| #11 Dan Gurney for President! Oh, wait... |

| #10 Dayyyyummmm! And two weeks ago, I predicted that Air America Radio wouldn't last until the 4th of July!... The negotiations on the leases in LA and Chicago probably ran into a brick wall... Or the Hispanics and African Americans backlashed, revolted and decided they wanted their original stations and formats back! |

| #9 What is AAR? Never heard of it. -American public |

| #8 anti-war could make the line up! They could call her show, "Whatever". |
| Posted by: B 2004-04-14 2:26:28 PM |
| #7 muck have you considered applying for a position with air America? I thinked you'd be a natural. Talking Meat With Mucky would be an excellent show title. |
| Posted by: Shipman 2004-04-14 2:15:10 PM |
| #6 Wow. I knew they'd fail, but not quite so quickly or spectacularly. It's nice, if a little Orwellian, that they can attribute their failure to their "unexpected success". Momma always said if life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Hey! Maybe they could try a lemonade stand! A progressive lemonade stand, that'll teach those evil little Republican bastards engaging in capitalism. BTW, any radio professionals out there? Does it bug you at all that a bunch of "intellectual" amateurs assumed they could come in and do your job? |
| Posted by: BH 2004-04-14 2:14:07 PM |
| #5 Oh woe is me. I'm in the LA Metro area. Arrrgh. Blackout! Woe is me. Woe is me. Woe is me. Just like the NFL. Just have to "poison" my ears with Rush now. Tsk Tsk Tsk (Ha ha ha ha ha. . . . .) It doesn't get any better than this - trial lawyer sycophants sunk by trial lawyers! |

| #4 I was looking at their web site and their line up. Remember when Democrats used to be cool? Their line-up looks like GEEK Central!! That geeky little Republican guy with the little bow-tie actually looks far more with it than this cesspool of uncool. The only really funny thing about this, wittless, geeky, "boy band" line up for the DNC is just how uncool their "anti-establishment" dance has become. They just don't have any rhythm. It's like watching sockpuppets trying to be funny. |

| #3 As you know if you live in LA or Chicago AAR is down in those locales. I wouldn't know that even if I lived in either city 'cause Al Franken doesn't have anything to say worth listening to. But I did miss the call on the duration. I figured Air America would last 'til Nov. 3d. |

| #2 From the article: On line there are some rumors about right wing elements pressuring the holding company to pull us off the air. If anything I would think rightwingers would want it to stay online simply as a gross example of what comprises the left's thinking these days... As much as I'd like to, I don't buy it. I think this is probably a typical hardball business scenario that is indicative of AAR's unexpected success and somebody who was betting against that success trying to renegotiate. Bwahahahaaa... Oppsies! You were serious. Well, ahem, that's good news, then, the success and all. And I know from personal experience, there is a large group of folks who hope it stays on the air right through November. They're called rightwingers. So why pull it off the air so early in its existance? Wouldn't such a move be counterproductive to negotiations? Wouldn't you want to stay on the air to continue your success? |

| #1 Huh. Can't say as I've missed it. Even if I had tuned in, the dead air would have sounded pretty much like it did on Day One, so I wouldn't have thought anything was amiss. |
