Air America has uber-loser consultant Bob Shrum as commentator?
Look for his name here:
http://www.airamerica.com/node/6312


Shrums record:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A9895-2004Sep9.html

He also helped John Kerry lose to the president with the lowest approval rating to be re-elected his Harry Truman.

Truman arguably had some residual goodwill for Democrats in general from World War II and New Deal.

By 2004, Bush had already proved himself the most corrupt, ruthless, and dangerous president in our history.

And Shrum helped Kerry lose to him.

The only job anybody should be giving this guy is mens room attendant.

2. "Shrum" should be in the dictionary. Definition: political barf.
That man's opinion is about as valuable as an old dishcloth.

NGU.

5. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I listened to "the owner" of Air America, Mark Green, on MSNBC
opposite of talk show host Ed Schultz. This guy, Mark Green, claimed to be "neutral" yet every word out of his mouth was a plug for All Things "Bill and Hillary" Clintonian = They're GOLDEN! :shrug:

Anyone else witness that exchange between Green and Schultz? It was nasty. :(

9. Really? Mark Green is president, his brother owns the company.
He is a long-time New York politician, started out as one of Nader's Raiders. He's very progressive. If he's behind Clinton it's because she put all the local pols in a headlock early on. It's amazing how she owns the party machine here. They are terrified to cross her.

7. Sounds about right
Has Air America made a GOOD decision since they fired Mike Malloy?

10. My God, why do people keep hiring him for things? He's 0-8 with Presidential campaigns.
Kerry lost.
Gore lost.
Kerrey lost.
Dukakis lost.
Gephardt lost.
Kennedy lost.
Carter lost.
McGovern lost.

I wouldn't be shocked if Air America filed for bankruptcy within a month. This guy is human fail.

16. maybe they are using him for comic effect--''Bob Shrum, Obama seems to be gaining momentum. How
would you sink his campaign if you were advising him?''
