Democrats need to hire Olbermann to write their responses

[Quixote1818]

Those in the Democratic party don't have a clue as to how to fight the Republicans so why not hire the master, the one man dream team of PR?

1. No, they need to hire his writers.

:)

3. From what I understand he actually writes his own stuff

I am pretty sure he wrote every word of the first special comment he ever did. The guy is brilliant!

4. I've seen an interview where he says he writes them in plane flights.

[EFerrari]

5. And what he doesn't say is that a team of writers takes hours

to rewrite them until they can be preformed.

Maybe he's not aware of that part.

Whatever. Keith is great.

2. Actually Olbermann needs to run for Senate.

If Hillary leaves the Senate, there will be a free seat soon.

6. Bad idea

I love KO but I don't want him on the Dem team, I want him on the outside, speaking truth to power and keeping the Dems honest.

12. I'm afraid it will take more than words...

to keep some of our Dem leaders honest.

7. They don't need a writer's hands or mouth to create the statements.

They can talk well enough when they choose to. They need another body part.

8. What a strange thing to say

[hvn_nbr_2]

9. I didn't say that very clearly, did I?

What I was trying to say was: they don't need a writer; they need some cajones.

[AndyA]

11. I was thinking they needed a spine.

I suppose either would do the job. No wonder they're such a blob of useless gelatinous material. No cajones and no spine. For shame.

[B Calm]

10. They clearly need to hire someone. Talk about sheep!

13. There Need To Be More Olbermanns On The Air

He still stands alone as a voice of reason in a corporate media loaded with right wing hacks and liars. He's that rare breath of fresh air in a very pugnant and fetid media cesspool. He's one of the few whose "keeping them honest" and speaking truth to power...but he's still a lone voice...easy to attack and marginalize. MSNBC and CNN, especially, need to add more rational and objective voices like Olbermann...ones devoid of the spin on the right and able to counter the bullshit and talking points. Keith's rising ratings are testimony for this need and it's time for more of these voices to advance forward to balance the "playing field".

If the Democrats need anything, it's to not bite into the right wing talking points...to see what memes are being spun and not to be played...which in turn always makes them look weak. This MoveOn game was a perfect example...too many bit...but also many other saw those who bit.
