MSNBC Countdown w/ KEITH OLBERMANN - Oct. 1, 2008: "If I was a dictator, which I've always aspired to be." Des Moines Register interview was "testy, irritable, sarcastic."

1. McCain is creepy scary. ..n/t

[WhoIsNumberNone]

2. He hasn't detected it in the polls?

What polls has he been looking at? He's behind 8-9 points in some battleground states according to one that came out today...

3. Your sig pics are brilliant. Did you do them?

[WhoIsNumberNone]

15. Yes

Feel free to re-post them if you want.

4. I don't think he's joking

That didn't sound or look to me like he was being funny in any way. If this isn't the centerpiece of the biggest Obama ad buy in the campaign, it should be. Just that 5 seconds or so should be shown in every major market and in particular the swing states. The Republican nominee for President just told you that he's always aspired to be a dictator (just like his predecessor did). That should make anyone who sees this and loves this country very very very afraid.

5. almost the same joke ** told

does this idiot have the same gag writer?

6. Emphasis on the word "gag"

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

7. That's a very troubling video

He sold his soul for a few pieces of silver.

8. He's a dishonest goober. Threatening and unfit to be president.

9. Worked for * n/t

[happygoluckytoyou]

10. without VIAGRA he can't even detect that he has a pole

[Poll_Blind]

11. After watching that entire segment, I agree with those who are taking his comments a bit more...

..seriously. His behavior is starting to...reach a point where it's becoming surreal. Not in the same way Bush was surreal in his ignorance and inexperience, but in a no-less-valid or alarming way.

12. Great! K/R

[ForeignSpectator]

13. What a delusional asshole! But reality is out there coming for you, John, one way or the other...n/t

[cboy4]

14. He doesn't seem as comfortable with his flat out lying as

Bush, but he still displays all of the qualities of a pathological liar.
