#3 It might not be a gloatworthy event. The progressives can use the lack of any (non-public) liberal talk radio outlets as one more excuse to shut down the conservative ones. And we know that's a goal.

#5 They probably want taxpayers to fund it in order to make it "work" (see BBC).

#7 being one of those miniscule few AA listeners is prolly like going to "Cheers" - "where everybody knows your name"

#9 99% of AAs material evaporated the day Republicans left the White House. So, if you think about it, maybe this time it really is Bushs fault.

#10 "No detectable audience . . . in DC . . . in a DC run by liberal Democrats."

The AA morons believed their own propaganda about conservative talk-show hosts being nothing more than emotive ranters, and hired and produced shows accordingly. They ignored the fact that

a) their take was wrong in the first place.

b) most self-identified liberals thought of themselves as more "intellectual" than that, thus they preferred NPR's higher production values and mellower style. Pacifica already had the lefty wingnut market share wrapped up.

#11 Air America is not merely dead, it's most sincerely dead!
