Hot Air America
Air America posts a defense in their business dispute with Arthur Liu, the owner of their Chicago and Los Angeles affiliates.
Oh, I'm sorry--did I say they posted a defense? I'm sorry--what I really meant to say was their leadership stopped watching Romper Room long enough to have a milk-throwing fit.
And in the process possibly opened themselves up to a defamation of character lawsuit.
My favorite part was the thinly veiled racism.
"Not funny." Heh.
Nice.

UPDATE: It looks like Air America finally got some adult supervision into the nursery, because the original press release--with its snide remarks making fun of Liu's name and Chinese heritage, and the statements that Air America was going to deal with the matter by takeing a crowbar to Liu's head ("Figuratively, of course," caveats the original memo)--has been removed from the website.
Agents France Presse has the story here. Their characterization of the original memo as 'tongue-in-cheek' is--ummmm--charitable.
