Al Franken and Air AmericaHow much of the "loan" went to pay Al
Franken?
Brian Maloney delivers a stunning
scoop.
Meanwhile, what's left of the community center is hanging by a thread, stripped of its Boys & Girls Club charter, cut off from grants and facing eviction from its Co-Op City location, as the New York Post has reported. Happily waltzing through the middle of this mess nearly unscathed, however, is Franken himself. Fawning press coverage almost everywhere was the result of his recently-completed book tour. And why shouldn't Franken be smiling? While repayment was delayed until it was too late to save Gloria Wise and its afterschool programs for disadvantaged youth, Al got everything he wanted and then some. Did his greed greatly contribute to the problem, by keeping Air America financially-drained and unable to return the money? Quite possibly, according to newly-obtained documents. Remember, the real source of the scandal is that Air America "borrowed" from a non-profit. The fact that the loan was never repaid is just icing on the cake. Where is that famous liberal compassion when it comes to the non-profit? Why isn't Al Franken being held responsible for Air America's dismal ratings?
