Sheldon Drobny: Clinton, Gore Tried to Fund Air America

Ex-president Clinton and former vice president Al Gore personally tried to raise start-up funds for the troubled Air America Radio network, the network's founder said Sunday.

Asked about the help Clinton and Gore provided, Chicago venture capitalist Sheldon Drobny told C-Span's "Sunday Morning Journal": "They helped us."

"How they helped us was to make introductions to a lot of good people," Drobny said. "Especially Al Gore, who introduced me to Al Franken. . . . He was my dream franchise player when we first conceived of the idea. And Vice President Gore was very helpful in making the introductions."

Ultimately, fundraising efforts by former White House duo went bust, Drobny said, insisting, "They didn't bring any major funding to the table."

1. "Especially Al Gore"
Just felt like adding a little exclamation mark there.
