LOL.....maybe Bain Capital can bail them out?


Current TV, the ratings-challenged cable network started by former Vice President Al Gore, has put itself up for sale, The Post has learned.

Current is still interviewing investment banks and has yet to launch a formal sales process, said one source.

Isn't it funny that they are willing to take money from the investment banks which they've condemned for the last two years or so?

Yep.....they held it at the Bank of America stadium (or at least wanted to before they decided to blame the weather for not being able to fill it). They didn't even want anyone to call it BOA Stadium....LOL.

Then we find out they had to take corporate sponsorship after PLEDGING they wouldn't.

So they're dealing with the banks. What the hell is the big deal? The right never has any problem dealing with graduates from those "elitist" schools like Harvard of Yale

LOL......for the last 4 years we've heard all about how EVIL those bankers are.

We saw the DNC being held at the Bank of America Stadium, only the Dems didn't want anyone to call it that.

We've seen the Democrats supporting the Occupy Wall Street movement.

Then suddenly when they need a bail out, they'll call up those EVIL people for their help.

Maybe they'll meet Newsweek's fate and have to sell for $1. Personally, I would still think it was overpriced, but you can't get much cheaper than that.
