Pogo sweetie. You know I wouldn't lie to ya...

"Franken’s aforementioned previous employer, Air America, bankrolled the liberal radio network’s weak launch in part with a $500,000 loan siphoned from funds meant for a Bronx charity serving kids and senior citizens."
That doesn't say what you said, My Blue Heaven.
So. What you are saying is... He pays his debts like he pays his taxes.
He doesn't.
A salary isn't a "debt", oh my alluringly azure amour.
What salary? He was half a million in the hole.
Sigh.
What you said, my seriously cerulean seabreeze, was: he "had to pay Air America to broadcast his show"
I still await a link.
I mean, not even David Sanborn is desperate enough to buy his airtime.
The link you did link only spoke of how AirAmerica "bankrolled" him --- meaning they paid him, which is how employer-employee relationships usually work.
Not that it quotes or links any sources to what it says, but then again it is an opinion blog. You know that right?
