1. Bush's Legacy will last for at least Ten Thousand Years

Here in Third World Appalachia, Wise County, Virginia, USA http://www.wisecountyissues.com Profit comes way before People.

3. And mountain top removal is visible form space! You can't say that for may legacies!

:sarcasm:

[awoke_in_2003]

16. Unfortunately, his legacy will be forgotten...

and Jeb Bush will be put in office 8 years from now. Not only are americans stupid, their memory is short.

[LiberalLovinLug]

17. I hope not

But I don't think its because Americans are stupid, or they are memory deprived. Its that only a small percent ever get to hear something like this brilliant summary of Dubya's true legacy. But more than that, its that this truth is not repeated over and over and taken as fact by every single news outlet, which it should be by now. No, there will be news "specials" coming in the next month about Bush's legacy that will involve taking the talking points memo and reading it verbatim.

25. Okay, uneducated might be a better word...

just compare us to every other industrialized nation. Our education system is one of the worst. Couple this with a lack of intellectual curiositity (and down right hatred of intellectuals) and you build a stupid country.

2. Great job as always Kiethie! n/t

[ejbr]

4. "don't sell it on eBay."

Well, that pretty much sums him up. Fucking douche bag.

[babylonsister]

7. Disgusting, wasn't it. nt

[ClayZ]

5. Yeah! K and R

[babylonsister]

6. Brilliant! Send this to everyone you know, please! A 'hidden' special

comment, out in broad daylight.

[The Wielding Truth]

8. This should be played everyday. We should never forget.

[silverojo]

10. The Cliff's Notes version of Bush 43

For those in the future who were spared living through this hellish period in American history.

[GreenTea]

9. Yeah this is excellent & should be sent to all Dems who've already forgotten & fucking republicans!

[grasswire]

11. classic Keith -- outstanding reporting (eom)

[underpants]

18. Yes truly classic

He did miss the part about Bush apologizing to the Chinese for knocking OUR plane out of the sky and kidnapping the crew
but that was pre-9/11 so it doesn't count I guess

just like ignoring terrorism pre-9/11

[grasswire]

19. he oughta get a journalism prize for that spot

kicking again.

[2Design]

12. kick for the record n/t

[Berry Cool]

13. Great job as usual, Keith!

K&R

[tclambert]

14. No, you guys have it all wrong. Bush is leaving behind a wonderful legacy.

He made President Obama possible.

By being such a bad and incompetent president, Bush made enough voters take the 2008 election seriously that we elected Barack Obama to fix his mess.

[Laf.La.Dem.]

15. Love - Keith Olbermann

We need more reporters like Olbermann:patriot:

[Serial Mom]

20. Keith is great, but he could spend hours

debunking the lies & the talking points of this mis-administration - there were SO MANY scandelous actions that there was probably at least one-a-day that could OUTRAGE the citizenry!

Worst.President.Ever was being said on this board YEARS AGO... and guess what, it was TRUE and I believe history will record that!

[newmac]

21. He has coined a new term:

bush |bush|
adjective
not having or showing the necessary skills to do something successfully : a forgetful and utterly bushish assistant.
• Law not qualified to act in a particular capacity : the patient is deemed legally bush.
• Medicine (esp. of a valve or sphincter) not able to perform its function.
noun
an incompetent person. He is extremely bush.

22. thank you for posting

the doublespeak this man has put out along with his hypocrisy is coming to a close. He is of the belief that if you speak a lie
often enough people will surrender to it and many do. This was a pleasure to listen to.

[florida08]

23. btw

when I say "this man" am referring to the shrub of course..not Keith.

[acmavm]

24. My idea if perfect justice? Let me see, bush** & Co. having to watch this

video over and over and over and over, nothing else, while they spend the rest of their lives in their cells.

[Harry Monroe]

26. Anybody have another link to this video?

I get the message, "Sorry, this video is no longer available".

[babylonsister]

27. Kickin for later

[Stardust]

29. Kicking because this is the best summary of the nightmare known as Bushco ever uttered. K&R!

[PinkyisBlue]

30. Bush's legacy is summed up by the 4 D's: death, destruction, deficit and depression.

[DutchLiberal]

31. Damn liberal media! All they do is bashing Bush! It's not fair!

Yes, I hear those kind of statements from Bush-supporters right after they have watched this or similar videos or have read similar articles. It's like all that's mentioned flies over their heads. It's like they have not heard or seen it. They can watch this and praise Bush afterward. They can simply say every single thing in this video is made up, not true, lies and what more...

Olbermann is preaching to the choir, but it is important he's telling the truth, as one of the very, very few in the US media. This video is yet another great summary of the most criminal US administration ever. And again, I watch it in awe and wonder how Bush, Cheney and all their accomplishes could get away with it all. If Richard Nixon could face impeachment over wire-tapping the DNC, if Clinton could actually get impeached for lying under oath about a private matter, then how come Bush and his gang can walk out scott-free?

You don't get to be the worst president without a little help from the other side...
