Rush Limbaugh can finally relax. As heavily-hyped Air America - "Audio for the Unhinged" - prepares to go out with a whimper, their marquee maven of malodorous moonbat monishment, Al Franken, is leaving the network - probably to "spend more time with his family" and to "pursue other opportunities."
Turns out he wasn't good enough, wasn't smart enough, and - doggone it! - people don't like him.
Brian Maloney of The Radio Equalizer reports:
When writing about Al Franken, it turns out, your Radio Equalizer just can't win. It's time to put on our Frankenflak jackets.
For weeks, we've been getting snippy emails from readers wondering why we hadn't reported on Stuart's impending departure from Air America Radio, despite the strong hints that it was about to occur. Far from a right- wing plot, some of these were coming from liberal listeners and bloggers.Do they consider Franken a burden to their cause? The agenda wasn't clear.
Then, when we did report on this still- likely outcome (because enough evidence had finally emerged), some lefties criticized this site for being late to the party. After all, some of them had apparently posted Internet messages to this effect some time ago. That's why we didn't label it as an exclusive story.
Now, we're being slammed at the Huffington Post and elsewhere for supposedly jumping the gun, because Franken either isn't leaving the network, or isn't yet ready to announce it.
