Air Deadbeat? The Air America Saga ContinuesMichelle Malkin and Brian Maloney collaborate on an
investigative piece on Air Enron's nonpayment of another debt.
This relates to the infamous story of how Air Idiot went off the air two weeks after launching, in LA and Chicago, when they bounced a check. At the time, they claimed that they had bought time from two radio stations and then decided they didn't need it, so the station owner sold it the airtime to someone else, and so AA stopped payment on their check. They also took
advantage of the opportunity to indulge themselves in a little casual racism against the owner of the radio stations, a Mr Liu.
This Liu-ser was ripping off our boss Evan Cohen big time (he can’t do that, that’s our job). Evan found out about it and he stopped payment on a check to keep Liu-cifer from ripping him off even more. You can touch Evan for the occasional meal or drinks but a million bucks is crossing the line. And if we ever get low on cash, we can always call Barbra Streisand. Or any of the Baldwins. Except Stephen.
So we got screwed, Liu’d, and tattooed. How Liu can you get? In Liu of payment. Liu’d and lascivious behavior. These write themselves. What we’re getting at is that we hate him.Of course, nowadays, even Al Franken admits that "our boss Evan Cohen" was a crook. But based on this excellent piece of investigative journalism, it appears that it's like Roger Daltrey once sang: "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss!"
