why should liberals apologise for the actions of two criminals? The funds stolen in this article didn't go to Air America.

from the article:
Air America blamed the transaction on its former chairman, Evan Montvel-Cohen, who was ousted in 2004 amid questions over the validity of his investments in the network.

The radio network has since repaid the money. Under a recent agreement, the bulk of it was returned to New York City agencies. Some was returned to the Gloria Wise organization, which reorganized, took on new management and continues to operate a nursery school program.

Small Time Crooks..Never heard of them. Now this is something that really bakes my spuds.
.
Year 2005
“Halliburton has already raked in more than $10 billion from the Bush-Cheney Administration for work in Iraq, and they were awarded some of the first Katrina contracts," Sen.Lautenberg said in a statement. "It is unseemly for the Vice President to continue to benefit from this company at the same time his Administration funnels billions of dollars to it. The Vice President should sever his financial ties to Halliburton once and for all.”

Cheney continues to hold 433,333 Halliburton stock options. The company has been criticized by auditors for its handling of a no-bid contact in Iraq. Auditors found the firm marked up meal prices for troops and inflated gas prices in a deal with a Kuwaiti supplier. The company built the American prison at Guantanamo Bay.

The Vice President has sought to stem criticism by signing an agreement to donate the after-tax profits from these stock options to charities of his choice, and his lawyer has said he will not take any tax deduction for the donations. However, the Congressional Research Service (CRS) concluded in Sept. 2003 that holding stock options while in elective office does constitute a “financial interest” regardless of whether the holder of the options will donate proceeds to charities. CRS also found that receiving deferred compensation is a financial interest.

Halliburton stock options held by Dick Cheney rose 3,281% since October, 2004.
The options were worth $241,498, now they are worth $8 million.

If any "new" gun rules are initiated by using this absurd surge to revoke Constitutional Rights, i've got faith the only new regulation could be installation a existence like instruction manual to securing weapons so as that they won't be somewhat stolen by using nut-jobs. i wish existence like gun vendors does not merchandise to that. shop weapons out of the hands of the insane. Oh wait! If Liberalism is a psychological disease, could Liberals be denied gun possession?

The more things change, the more they stay the same. They have to steal to support Air America. No one will advertize on a station that spews nothing but garbage and hate. The only people who would listen to it are not the kind that spend money on anything but liberal causes, Kool Aid, and large bags of pot.

The Air America liberals do not represent all of us. Most of us don't listen to that talk show.

I'll apologize once you apologize for invading Iraq. What's that you say? You are not responsible for the actions of all republicans? Imagine that.

I thought a non-profit organization could give money to whomever they wanted as long as they took no salary. These guys took money - and that's a crime. But what does it have to do with Air America?
