AirAmerica exec stole $875,000 from children and the elderly to fund AA
Captain's Quarters Captain Ed Morrissey has all the dirt on how Air America founder, Evan Cohen, seems to have embezzled $875,000 in funds earmarked for poor kids in the Bronx and Alzheimer's patients.
The other salient point of the story, aside from the obvious, is that the MSM has virtually ignored (imposed a moratorium?) on the whole scandal, while continuing to harp on faux scandals like the Karl Rove/Valerie Plame Nadagate.
And while Al Franken could tell you about nefarious dealings between the Bush White House and Enron or Halliburton, he's appears to be MIA on this in-house happening.
Missing the Perfect Storm
Captain Ed's blog has more, natch, here.
As does Michelle Malkin's.
So does TheRadioEqualizer: Brian Maloney, the very canny blogger who found the tidbit of news in a seemingly unrelated story, recognizing it for the major political bombshell that is.
I nominate Brian for the next Golden Pajama Drawstring Award--this is citizen journalism/blogging at its best!
