Air America personality reimbursing airtime as campaign expenditure

OK, the title's a bit unwieldy, but guess what! A candidate for office who also has a show on Air America Radio has taken the brave step of reimbursing the network for what amounts to be a political ad during that person's show.

And - of course - it's not Al Franken.

It's someone named Ember Reichgott Junge from Minnesota.

Yeah, really, who cares. But, why isn't Al Franken doing that?

Wow, I didn't know Air America had a hate site. That's really fantastic...for Air America. Nothing is ever successful until there's a hate site for it. Too bad this one is so sucky though and nobody comes here. Hopefully somebody with talent can put something together.

Air America is its own hate site. Any network that tells "jokes" about killing President Bush is its own hate site. That's why their ratings are in the commode.

Maybe it's because Al Franken is not, at this time, a candidate for any political office.
