Whoa....Keith Olbermann gave another stunning Special Comment to Bush...
If you missed it, set the recorder for midnight. This was his best so far. It might be on MSNBC as well. He called Bush "Bald faced liar", and said that he had NO business being president. He also mapped out Bush's recent rhetoric, pointing out the exact monment in time, that Bush's rhetoric changed. It's really obvious that Bush knew about the NIE back in August, and a change in the verbiage really shows that clearly.

2. You know....
I can't help but wonder,, what, if anything, goes through Bush, and for that matter, Cheney's minds, when they see people ON TV talking about them like this....don't they understand that WE HATE THEM?

16. Sociopaths have no conscience, if they were sitting and watching
this, they just blow it off. I personally thought it was a great shot, not across the bow, but right into the innards of the ship of state.

He called them on their insanity, actually called bush a moron, alluded to the fact that cheney is nothing more than a power grabbing SOB, and then went on to call them both liars.

In the WH, (and I seriously doubt bush or cheney would watch any of this live, but might get a "briefing" in the AM), they will simply brush it off. They will act as if nothing occurred, they are in their sociopathic little world, reality is not given a pass into the dark recesses of their minds.

5. Yeah, and now Pat f'ing Buchannan...
was just on Dan's show yelling that Joe should drop out of the race and go hold hearings...yeah, they'd like that...rest assured, Joe will do whatever he needs to do, but he will NOT drop out of the race at this point.

10. Not sure how to handle it
Joe really does need to jump on this.....now....and with both feet.
He is the one I think that could have the most impact on this particular situation. But he has to do it because it's the right thing to do....not political posturing...

18. not drop out
Edited on Thu Dec-06-07 10:13 PM by Bellator
I didn't mean to insinuate he should drop out. I believe the reason Joe is gaining momentum all of a sudden is to do with his jumping on the lead in foreign policy lately....Pakistan, Iran in particular. I would love to see him grab the ball on the points Olbermann laid out tonight.

22. Yeah, but I don't think it would be possible for him to hold
hearings and still run....bad timing has been the death of a lot of things for Joe...so it would not surprise me to see something interrupt him this time either...if so, it wasn't meant to be. I would be crushed though.

24. Not hearings
I am not talking hearings at this point......
Let me explain better....if I can.
The top three candidates are sinking slowly into the gutter.....it's turning into a he/she threw mud first. Joe has risen above that so far. If he elevates his attacks to concentrate them on this administration and follow something like Olbermann laid out....I think that would play well with the democratic activists here in Iowa. Remember.....in 2004 Edwards took the high road and surprised everyone. He needs to keep elevating the rhetoric!!!!

25. True....he does...
but you know as well as I do that there are a lot of conversations taking place right now....I'd give it a few more days, but with him freaking having to go back to DC Friday & Sat, it's unlikely we'll hear anything more about Bush until Monday..from Joe that is...

4. He was on fire!
I'd be afraid to fly in small airplanes if I were he.

He was smack on, though!

I'm going to try to catch it later, but I may not be able to watch the whole show.

11. Almost to the end....
I'd say if you tune in about 40 minutes after it starts, you'd be ok...that's playing it safe....he finished his last sentence and said "good night and good luck"....but I have no idea how long it was, because I was mesmerized, LOL..

8. It was brilliant, the mapping out, the historical analogies and the clear statement.
You ask anyone if Bush doesn't lie...

Unless they're a subterranean cognitive sort they'll have to admit it...and if they don't there are tons and tons of examples.

MR. OLBERMANN!

19. There's definitely a new freedom in the air re the press --- taking off very slowly ---
and LOVED Biden's comment about IMPEACHING Bush if he invades Iran ---


but also makes it obvious that he could do such a violent thing and Congress
might not be able to stop him ---!!!

20. Sadly, so few people see this......
Talk radio reaches millions and millions. We have got to somehow reach MORE PEOPLE.

23. Yeah --- but I think it's moving with the $$$$ ---
Edited on Fri Dec-07-07 12:00 AM by defendandprotect
which would be the underlying power shift ---

Obviously, corps see it as more than a good possiiblity that next pres will be Dem --

a vote too large to control by the GOP/computer vote stealers ---

Olbermann has been at this for a while already ---

Obviously MSNBC/GE is faster at seeing who's going to be buttering their bread --- !!!
GE is traditionally severely right-wing ---


Re radio --- Air America is almost impossible to hear --- I can hear it thru the static in my town though it plays great on Garden State Parkway!!

Even when you try to tune in via internet --- sometimes it takes a long time to get a connection.
It's worse than ever --- and I continue to wonder WHY????

26. I Listen to KPHX Out Of Pheonix
It is a great progressive station that carries all of the heavies including Stephanie Miller, Randi, Mike Malloy, Tom Hartman. Of course, being in CA, I listen to it on the Internet.

Really like this station. They are completely unashamed of their progressiveness.
