Bush owes troops an apology, not Kerry
Olbermann: Bush 'appearing to be stupid' about Kerry's joke
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15519404/
"He has spread any and every fear among us in a desperate effort to avoid that which he most fears — some check, some balance against what has become not an imperial, but a unilateral presidency."
RIGHT OK KO!!!!!!

Sorry, I didn't stay tuned in long enough last night to hear J.O.'s clap-trap commentary on a Bush apology.

I did see that Edmond, Oklahoma's mayor was listed as "worst" last night for sending out 22,000 fliers, I believe, to combat teen alcohol and drug abuse.  The hotline number listed on it was for a phone sex company. [}:)]
"It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first" -Ronald Reagan

His commentary last night was the most damming criticism I've ever heard of Bush.  Wow.  I was stunned.  It was something for the history books.

KEITH BREAKS THIS STORY LAST NIGHT!!!!

Olbermann taps a well of discontent as the anti-O'Reilly

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2006/11/12/MNGV9MB4681.DTL

"Here's what happened,'' Olbermann said in a phone interview this week. "Five years ago (on Sept. 11), 50 percent of the country went quiet. There was this self-imposed censorship. Suddenly it became unimaginable to criticize the administration. And no one else was brave or stupid enough to say, 'I don't remember signing that document.' ''

"Olbermann likes to call the news as he sees it--especially when almost everyone else in the media seems to be ignoring a critical play."
http://news.yahoo.com/s/thenation/20061202/cm_thenation/20061218eviatar
"But it's not just a niche following: Since late August Olbermann's ratings have shot up 55 percent. In November he was named a GQ Man of the Year. When MSNBC teamed him with Chris Matthews to cover the midterms, the network's ratings were up 111 percent from the 2002 election in the coveted 25-to-54 demographic. And certain fifteen-minute segments on Olbermann's show have edged out his nemesis, Bill O'Reilly. (Olbermann deems O'Reilly the "Worst Person in the World" on his popular nightly contest for the newsmaker who's committed the most despicable act of the day.) "

"I like to say that we are to some degree like the 'Daily Show,' but for half an hour we're not allowed to screw with the news at all. The bar is a little higher over here. Well, the jokes don't have to be as good, but at least 50 percent of the show has to have actually happened"
http://www.radaronline.com/features/2006/12/olbermann.php
"The whole premise of the country is not standing up and saluting a flag. It's standing up and saluting ideas. Most importantly, it's standing up and saying, 'I don't agree at all with what you're saying, but you have the right to say it.' To which O'Reilly's response is, 'Shut up!'"

KOed commentary again last night was right on.
Keith Olbermann on Fire: "If in your presence an individual tried to sacrifice an American serviceman or woman, would you intervene? Would you at least protest? What if he had already sacrificed 3,003 of them? What if he had already sacrificed 3,003 of them — and was then to announce his intention to sacrifice hundreds, maybe thousands, more?"

"And after all of that, today it is his credibility versus that of generals, diplomats, allies, Republicans, Democrats, the Iraq Study Group, past presidents, voters last November, and the majority of the American people."
