Is another Kennedy drinking? RFK Jr says Air America was more popular than Rush, Beck and Hannity

by editor on June 22, 2011

Hide the Jack Daniels. Crazy Uncle bobby is coming over to visit and you need to protect him from himself.

Now, we’re only hypothesizing that it was alcohol talking, but what else could explain RFK Jr’s bizarre claim that Air America was more popular than conservative radio?

Despite this delusional pronouncement from the heir to the Kennedy name, Air America remains one of the great failures in the history of broadcasting. It has a horribly flawed business model, few stations, and few listeners. In the few major markets where it had affiliates, it had one sixth of the listeners of conservative talk radio.

Tavis Smily, any Kennedy and PBS. Mix ‘em all together and you’re sure to get some absolutely stupid comments.

I doubt he was drinking, using the needle and the spoon yes, drinking no. The whole damn bunch lives in a make believe world. A world where they think people really believe they (Kennedy’s) have something to say and they are so intellegent.

It’s time for them to fade away and just be gone.

If Air America was so popular and successful why is it off the air and all the investors lost their money. Hey maybe that is it. Bobby lost all his money and his marbles too investing in Air America. It’s a good think his grandfather is no longer alive. He would be the next one in line for the lobotomy.

Couple of thoughts:

Is it just me or does Bobby sound like Katherine Hepburn on Golden Pond?

It’s easy to think Air America was great when you’re a lib. After all, think about the standards these guys have.

Fact: Without the Kennedy name & fortune, RFKjr would be a wino in a homeless shelter.

Fact: He DOES sound like Katherine Hepburn in “On Golden Pond”.

Fact: He should wear a helmet in public.

Fact: Very few people remember Air America existed, & fewer people miss it.

Fact: Very little of what RFKjr says, is fact.

@danybhoy, “Fact: Without the Kennedy name & fortune, RFKjr would be a wino in a homeless shelter.”
Give it some time, all good things come to those who wait.

“Fact: He DOES sound like Katherine Hepburn in “On Golden Pond”.”
How dare you insult the Great Gray Lady like that!!!

“Fact: He should wear a helmet in public.”
He’s not wearing a helmet?

“Fact: Very few people remember Air America existed, & fewer people miss it.”
Wasn’t Air America the CIA operation to perform covert actions in Laos and Cambodia in the late 60′s and early 70″s

“Fact: Very little of what RFKjr says, is fact.”
Nothing RFK Jr. says is even intelligible.

It’s that old Pauline Kael thing again. Bobby the booby thinks Airhead Amerikka is popular ’cause everybody on Martha’s Vineyard listens to it.

Just a shot in the dark, but perhaps advertisers are reluctant to support a station that is hip deep in fraud, Bobby.

They’re drunks. They’re drug addicts. They’re rapists. They’re bad pilots. They can’t ski without hitting a tree. They covet other men’s wives. They cheat. They lie. The Skakel’s kill. They drive stoned. They drive drunk. They commit manslaughter. They hate Jews. They are rum-runners. They buy elections. They’re Kennedys!

Yet it failed miserably never to be heard from again. Liberals interpretations of success is the reason why we are were we are right now. Success to them is failure to normal thinking people.

Was there really a PBS program called Air Amerika? I think I remember hearing about it some time in the past and then nothing more was ever said about it. I never listened to it so I don’t know a thing about it.

These rich liberals like to pretend that they are the champion of the working class, well I’m a carpenter and most of my fellows are conservatives because we understand being responsible and paying our way. I see liberals as second or third generation rich that inherited thier money, or pampered entertainers or welfare recipients that don’t work for thier money. When you see crowds of lefties demonstrating and screeming in the streets I think most are college age and below intermingled with older trust funders, in other words mostly non working people. And yea, that voice of his is irritating, he sounds 100 years old.

That Bobby should sing the praises of Air Amerika on the Pure Bull Shit channel is a given.

What I think should garner a clip at 11, is that he readily ADMITS “I don’t use the computer a lot, my kids do…”.

WTH?
The Bobster is only 57 years old…wtf has he been doing (ok, rhetorical question here) for the last 20 years since The Goracle invented it? I think he’s got deep enough pockets that he can spring for a Mac.

I love how he disses the oil companies…he flies around the globe in his private jet lecturing others on global warming bs, etc, but wants the little people to do as he says, not as he does.

Typical lib brainless wonder.

The way his voice sounds isn’t his fault. He has spasmodic dysphonia.

But the WORDS that come out his mouth are 100 percent, totally under his control.

But I suppose we can’t hold him responsible for his other congenital defect – being born a Kennedy.

I’m not sure what spasmodic dysphonia is, nor whether he’s got it. I am not a doctor nor play one at the local singles bar, but I can say for certainty that he is suffering from headinass. It is very common with liberals and one of the reasons they have a distorted view of reality.
