Air America Under Investigation For "Gunshot" Skit
Air America, the failing and unsuccessful liberal radio network is under investigation by the Secret Service for a skit that aired Monday evening. Drudge Report has the story.
Government officials are reviewing a skit which aired on the network Monday evening -- a skit featuring an apparent gunshot warning to the president!
The announcer: "A spoiled child is telling us our Social Security isn't safe anymore, so he is going to fix it for us. Well, here's your answer, you ungrateful whelp: [audio sound of 4 gunshots being fired.] Just try it, you little bastard. [audio of gun being cocked]."The audio production at the center of the controversy aired during opening minutes of The Randi Rhodes Show.
"What is with all the killing?" Rhodes said, laughing, after the clip aired.
"Even joking about shooting the president is a crime, let alone doing it on national radio... we are taking this very seriously," a government source explained.
An Air America official tells Billboard Radio Monitor that they have no comment and are conducting their own internal investigation.
We will follow this story as new information unfolds.
