anyone else catch this sly reference in Olbermann's blog?
Edited on Mon Nov-15-04 02:46 AM by Syrinx

Oh and by the way: how come the “Kerry’s winning” part of the election night exit polling is presumed to have been wrong, or tampered with, but the “Moral Values” part of the same polling is graded flawless, and marks the dawn of a new American century?


EDIT for link: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6210240/

1. How do you get the copied text to show up in a box?
I cannot seem to figure that out :)

That's cool! I didn't realize you could use almost any html tags (the lookup table is a little short on ideas!)

4. exactly right!
And I have certain issues with the right's hijacking of the term "values." Like we don't have any!?! Only we're in favor of values like respect, equality, and quality of life for ALL and not just the chosen few.
I really don't think Jesus would cut funding to social programs. I really don't think Jesus would be in favor of tax cuts to benefit the rich at the expense of the poor. And I really think that Jesus would be firmly on our side.
And for those who aren't gung-ho about Jesus, I don't think that JUSTICE is in favor of robbing the poor to pay the rich, etc, either.
Grrr.

23. "Values" is bushspeak for "Bigotry"
They are bigots against people who are different from them.
If this were the 50's, their "Values" would be that white and black people don't eat at the same table.

6. Man...
...Keith, rock on dude. I wrote you months ago, after your show had first started. I am thrilled that I was right in my assessment. You can call yourself journalist, unlike many of your peers, you've earned the right.

21. Irrelevant comment:
Is it me, or does Olbermann look a lot like Eugene Levy? I'm just sayin'.

27. They are lazy.
Rove packages the stories for them so they don't have to do any writing or any investigation. They expect to be spoonfed the stories.

33. Hey everybody!!
Edited on Tue Nov-16-04 02:20 AM by uhhuh
Check out this guy's blog!

It shows a freep in his natural habitat.

There is ranting, nonsensical prose, with misspellings, and a total lack of interest from others of his ilk!

Do you ever feel sorry for their pathetic, lonely lives?

I don't.

On edit: there is only one noted misspelling: "assualt"

But he is an ass, so he got that part right!

34. Hee, he's good at that.
Working in the small stuff... did you catch the one about Ann Coulter when he talked about it being akin to teaching a female dog tricks? All but called her a b*tch without saying it. Totally brill.
