Air America Has Bush in its Crosshairs--Literally

Air America is in trouble.

No, I'm not talking about its dismal ratings, tiny network, nor its dearth of sponsors. I'm not talking about its lackluster group of personalitites, nor the embarrassingly boring and misguided substance of its broadcasts.

AIR AMERICA RADIO INVESTIGATED AFTER BUSH 'GUNSHOTS'

**Exclusive**

The red-hot rhetoric over Social Security on liberal talkradio network AIR AMERICA has caught the attention of the Secret Service, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

Government officials are reviewing a skit which aired on the network Monday evening -- a skit featuring an apparent gunshot warning to the president!

The announcer: "A spoiled child is telling us our Social Security isn't safe anymore, so he is going to fix it for us. Well, here's your answer, you ungrateful whelp: [audio sound of 4 gunshots being fired.] Just try it, you little bastard. [audio of gun being cocked]."

The audio production at the center of the controversy aired during opening minutes of The Randi Rhodes Show.

"What is with all the killing?" Rhodes said, laughing, after the clip aired.

"Even joking about shooting the president is a crime, let alone doing it on national radio... we are taking this very seriously," a government source explained.

Have you ever listened to Randi Rhodes?

Apparently, Air America has crossed the line from tasteless to criminal.

The Dems got all bent out of shape about Tom DeLay supposedly threatening judges and provoking violence against them; yet they find the sound of shots being fired at the president amusing.

Such is the moral relativism of the Democrats.

Such is the utter lameness of Air America.

By the way, while checking Air America's website this morning, I found this poll:

Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist rallied against the judicial filibuster in a church. Was that inappropriate?

--No, I love it when religion bleeds into government.

--Yes, we are visibly eroding the separation of church and state.

I didn't bother to check the poll results. I would guess the liberals overwhelmingly support religion bleeding into government, based on the way Al Gore and John Kerry talk.

Tom DeLay says - "The time will come for the men responsible for this to answer for their behavior."

Next - U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., called DeLay's comments about the judges "irresponsible and reprehensible" in the aftermath of the recent murder of a Georgia judge and the killing of a federal judge's husband and mother in Chicago.

News Bulletin - answer for their actions is not a threat - it means they are accountable

2nd Bulletin - recording of Bullets shot at the President is a threat

I guess it depends on your defintion of the word threat

Where is Ted's outrage at this one?
