  AIR ENRON: NO LETTING UP
Al Franken is laughing it off and the elite media...

Al Franken is laughing it off and the elite media is still blowing it off, but the Air America/Air Enron financial fiasco continues to unfold. Ed Morrissey and his legal consultant/reader Eric Costello shine renewed light on the Piquant buyout shell game here and here, previously explored by Leon H. at Macho Nachos.

The Washington Times pounds the MSM and race hustlers' blackout in a new editorial today, "Air Scamerica."

And in a fascinating little side development, a former Clear Channel official has been hired by Air America Radio

 INSIDE AIR AMERICA: AN INVESTIGATIVE BLOG REPORT -- It's not just the Gloria Wise Boys & Girls that's knocking on Air America Radio's door looking for lost money. According to court records obtained by Radio Equalizer/MichelleMalkin.com, another major creditor has been demanding that Air America pay up. The liberal radio network has refused to do so, despite a court order and scathing words from a New York judge overseeing the case. Now, the creditor--Multicultural Radio Broadcasting Inc.--has filed a new complaint, accusing Air America and Piquant LLC (Air America's current owners) of engaging in a "sham transaction" and "fraudulent conveyance" of assets in order to avoid paying its debts. (See the prescient Professor Bainbridge for corporate law background.)

The initial battle between Multicultural Radio and Air America was widely covered last year. Here's the Wikipedia summary:
