I've never understood the John Dean appearances where he opines on international law and national security issues.

John Dean? What expertise does he have on such matters? A disgraced former counsel to the only president who resigned in our history?

The cynic in me responds that Dean gives what Olbermann wants. Nice juicy hysterical charges against the White House.

That's all the background one needs, I suppose, to be a regular on this increasingly ridiculous show.

Olbermann is a clown. He's a Leftist hack who's an intellectual coward. Why doesn't je present differing opinion. He's a coward. That's it. I'm going to repeat my question to the Lefties. Why does Olbermann pertend that's he's non Political? He's clearly a Leftist hack. Why doesn't he admitt it like Al Franken or Bill Maher? Answer please?

All we could think about was what kind of pills KO uses when he's sending secret messages to his latest email squeeze-of-the-week.

Unless you have more than the UNCORROBORATED and UNSUBSTANTIATED word of someone who can't even PROVE her own allegations without backing into the "he knows it's true" territory.

This is like the "hiding under the desk" thing. No one can prove it, but it makes you feel like big macho men to circulate RUMOR and INNUENDO like it is FACT.

Papa Palpatine, why do you watch it if you think he's a leftist hack and an intellectual coward. Are you a right-ist hack? And are all Republican-types bad spellers?

I can't understand why you all sit around and watch a show you hate so that you can complain about it. Watch Bill O'Reilly and be happy. Why are you watching Olby and not Bill if Olby is so bad??

I must say that Olbermann and O'reilly are equally deplorable. Does anyone for a second respect either of these guys as journalists or commentators? I know I don't.

One was a sportscenter talking head and the other was a host of yellow magazine TV show. Gee, what great credentials!

I'm surprised you called Dean's comments "talking points". I didn't know SCOTUS rulings were "talking points".

Any bets on whether the Decider decides to ignore the SCOTUS ruling? I'm bettin' on Chimpy.

I think the main thing I got out of the ruling was that Scalia, Thomas and Alito are the dumbest judges ever put on the Court.

Bonus: Thomas is a full fledged chicken-hawk now. I didn't know that Supreme Court Judges were Swiftboaters too.

Via American Constitution Society.
[In the Hamdan decision,] Justice Thomas refers to Justice Stevens' "unfamiliarity with the realities of warfare"; but Stevens served in the U.S. Navy from 1942 to 1945, during World War II. Thomas's official bio, by contrast, contains no experience of military service.

"Papa Palpatine, why do you watch it if you think he's a leftist hack and an intellectual coward. Are you a right-ist hack? "

I admitt to being a member of the Libertarian Right. Olbermann doesn't admitt to being a Leftist. Why not?

Did stevens actually serve in combat or was he a desk jockey? Serving in the navy does not necessarily mean he actually saw combat.

Al Gore "served" but he was a journalist who didn't see once day of combat action unlike Kerry who did.

Calling these judges dumb is not much of an argument. Intellectuals can disagree about complex issues such as this.

The world is not black and white and war sometimes requires one to engage in less than ethical behavior in order to win it. it is real easy for persons who have never been in a position of leading a country in a time of conflict to sit in judgment. You simply cannot comprehend the pressures that a President is under.

That being said, I don't agree with the BA's decision to unilaterally decide to hold these POW's without properly classifying them.

As far as John Dean goes, Keith has alluded on-air several times to their personal friendship. Apparently, he enjoys inviting Dean to play in his sandbox.

Tony Snow once said on his radio show you could fit all of Keith's friends in a phone booth. Could the same be said of the sand box?

Puck,

The phone booth is Countdown and the guests are its occupants. Mikey Musto and Keith share a urine-filled corner.

I don't watch the show, but I haven't seen Mo Rocca mentioned by J$ in a while. Is he dead? Did he say something good about somebody and get dumped by his buddy KO?

Olbernboy is just a George Soros leftist hack. He's not a reporter but a commnet

Now, almost 60 years later, the story of the German saboteurs and their trial by military tribunal is at the heart of President Bush's plan to bring Osama bin Laden and his Al Qaeda operatives to justice. Just as during World War II, the nation is debating the extent to which a president may justifiably scale back civil liberties in times of war or national emergency.

The idea wasn't Bush's. It came from Franklin Roosevelt, who used the military tribunal option in 1942 after the arrest of the eight German saboteurs

Roosevelt used miltary tribunals and internment camps. Maybe a postumous impeachment is in order.

Source for this and above(except last comment above) csmonitor.com

Pro's:

In cases where the government may be forced to rely on skimpy evidence because of the murky nature of terrorist operations, a secret tribunal with handpicked judges may take a more forgiving approach toward the government's case than a jury of ordinary Americans in an open federal courtroom, under the full glare of an international spotlight.

• The exclusionary rule - the canon of US legal procedure that bars the use of evidence obtained under questionable circumstances - does not necessarily apply in military tribunals, legal experts say. If a tribunal decided that certain information was of "probative value to a reasonable person" it could permit the introduction of any kind of evidence including, in theory, rumor, hearsay, and even statements obtained under torture.

• A secret, or partially secret, tribunal may be in a stronger position than a federal judge to prevent the compromise of sensitive US intelligence sources and methods during a trial.

Comment: plus retaliation against jurors. military tribunal would be fair enough for me, but i trust our military.

Keef-o loves Dean's scintillating tales of love and marriage to an "alleged" "ex-call-girl."

Wants advice and heads-up of what to expect...

From what I've seen with this ruling, the only change is that now these guys will be tried in Federal court instead of military tribunal. The decision even said they should be held until the end of hostilities. So, fine, transport then up one at a time to federal court in Miami or Tampa, try them, and be done with it. Just don't bring up 100 or so terrorists at a time and put them in my state.

And the ruling apparently affects 10 people in Gitmo, according to the original MSNBC.com report.

*** All you people on the Right, listen up ***

This Supreme Court ruling has backed what we ALL on the Left have been saying for years by ruling in favor of Bin Laden's personal bodyguard.

Al-Qaeda HAS Rights!!

They have Geneva Convention protections and they have rights under the U.S. Constitution. Our U.S. military didn't shed it's blood over the past 200+ years granting Al-Qaeda those rights for you Righties to take them away.

Al-Qaeda deserves access to U.S. lawyers and the U.S. judicial system!!

On this issue, we on the Left are ALL in agreement.

As soon as we on the Left win in the upcoming Congressional and Presidential elections, then we will begin peace negotiations with the misunderstood Al-Qaeda and hopefully we all will come to accept the fact that, under their interpretation of their religion, we, the Infidels, MUST be killed. Obviously we did something wrong and we deserve it.

(I'm off to ram my head into a concrete wall...)

Wyatt, considering that I don't recall John or Maureen suing the authors of "Silent Coup" for libel, slander, or anything else, I think we can drop the "alleged" part.

Curious asks:

"I can't understand why you all sit around and watch a show you hate so that you can complain about it. Watch Bill O'Reilly and be happy."

For the same reason we read the NY Times. Exposing the bias of the Olbermanns and the Kellers of the world who claim to be apolitical is an essential function so the unsuspecting will be able to clearly see the GOP hating agendas of these hacks.

Who watches the show?I just love to read the Watch.It makes me happy!

Sorry about that. I'll learn. :(

Once again, nobody on the left answers my Question. "Why does Olberboy pertend to be non political when's a Leftist hack?
Answer that please?

"Why does Olberboy pertend to be non political when's a Leftist hack?"

Could you write that in english please?

The thing that really bothers me about KO is that he masquerades his show as news, not leftist commentary. I feel that O'Reilly presents his show as more of a political commentary show, than as actual news. I rarely watch O'Reilly, but from the first day I watched it, I knew it was opinion. I sporadically watched Olbermann for a while before noticing how liberal biased he always is. I guess I thought maybe the shows I did catch just happened to be the only ones biased toward the left. Silly me....
On another note, I also listen to Air America Radio on XM from time to time for good comedic relief. That's good stuff, guys. I find it gives me more laughs than the XM comedy channel. I also like to time how long it takes the Air America hosts to say the name "Bush" or "this administration" from the time I turn it on. Yesterday, it acutally took about 5 whole minutes for one of those terms to be used as opposed to the 30 - 90 seconds they seem to average.

"Did stevens actually serve in combat or was he a desk jockey? Serving in the navy does not necessarily mean he actually saw combat."

Is there one of you guys that won't automatically knee-jerk react with the swiftboating mentality? I can understand with the current administration's stellar service record that you guys have no concept of what "service" is, but come on.

Stevens considered becoming a teacher before joining the World War II effort. A naval officer assigned to a code-breaking team from 1942 to 1945, he was awarded the Bronze Star.

Yeah, you're right, a friggin' desk jockey. We'd been so much better off if he had quit messing with those worthless codes and stuff and went AWOL like Bush did.

Nice try Scooter, if only the SCOTUS had listened to you before rendering their decision. The problem is lack of oversight.

Did Stephens crack the Japanese code "magic" that was leaked to the Chicago Tribune and then printed after the Battle of Midway, letting the Japanese know that their codes were not unbreakable? That facist Roosevelt wanted to send in Marines to shut down the Tribune.

Did Stephens crack the Japanese code "magic" that was leaked to the Chicago Tribune and then printed after the Battle of Midway, letting the Japanese know that their codes were not unbreakable? That facist Roosevelt wanted to send in Marines to shut down the Tribune.

He may well have worked on it.

An investigation was launched and the Trib was cleared. The japanese ignored the article in the paper and continued to use the codes until the end of the war.

I would guess that the japanese knew we were trying to break their codes but didn't care anyway.

As long as you're making comparisons, you could say Bush's incident would be like Roosevelt bragging about the parameters of the code for two years and then complaining that the Trib printed the details.

Should an investigation be launched into the NY Times?

Yes Crash. An investigation followed by a cruise missile.

Just had an epiphany! If Keith wanted ratings, he would have JD run a liveblog feed on the Countdown Ticker. Sort of a "reality" show, where Keith gets Fisked live! People would watch that for sure, but poor KO would lose it. He'd have to do the show from under his desk.

Actually the hiding under the desk story was originally printed in Radar magazine and Keith himself alluded to it later on the show but claimed he was merely making "phone calls" so he could get some privacy. I guess his private office wasn't "private" enough for that. . . Got to admire the man for ability to spin almost everything and have you idiot fan(atic)s believe it.

Well, Dopey Dan Abrams has jumped into the cold "Network Executive Pool," and is confidently sinking. Within minutes of being placed in the GM office, ratings data came out indicating a decline in the already-abysmal prime-time ratings (the one-two "audience skidoo" combo of Lardball and Meltdown). But Dan is the man for the job! He will strike while the iron is hot! He will make bold moves like . . . like . . . . zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Abrams complex game of mental checkers is hard to follow, but here it is:

http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/msnbc/msnbcs_prime_change_abrams_memo_39408.asp#more

His plan: leave the failing prime-time line-up as is. You know, the ratings juggernaut that keeps them firmly in last place. You know, the shows that have shown so much promise in their multi-year runs and are bound to turn into huge hits if given a decade or two to develop!

Dan sees the real problem -- the real obstacle to his cable outlet's success. The real problem is the programming at 10PM! So his plan is to take Rita Cosby (you know, the lady who sounds like Jack Klugman after his throat surgery) and put her in some "documentary" unit, and move Tucker to the afternoon! Hooo HA! That should wow 'em!

Poor Dopey Dan. These NBC execs are better than Stalin. They have set up Abrams as the fall guy and eliminated his poorly-rated show at the same time. I suppose they will convince Dan to fire himself when the time comes, and give Tucker the GM job.

Next they'll add long form tapes at 9:00, then 4 and 6, then they'll become Discovery Times.

Keith Uberloon circulates RUMOR and INNUENDO every night on his pathetic little cable "news" show. BTW, it's a FACT that "macho man" was hiding under his desk like a little girl.

If these MSNBC idiots had a clue, they would turn this fiasco into one big reality show. Wouldn't you watch Rita crying, going to the throat specialist, and getting her nails done while purging? Or Keith obsessively and obscenely e-mailing away, bringing gullible viewers into his office for sex, hiding under his desk and yelling at people? How about Tucker bouncing around cluelessly while Dan Abrams sits in his office planning his line-up with a compass, a protractor, and a lighted helmet on his head? It would be like "WKRP in Cincinnati" without the endearing characters. They could call it "MSLSD in Secaucus." Now that would kill in the ratings. Think "out of the box" Danny!

Hey "Anonymous" (Keith Olbermann I oresume?)

Read this:

http://www.nydailynews.com/front/story/399891p-338748c.html

Lloyd Grove's assistant worked for MSLSD. She KNOWS Keith. She KNOWS he had to be pried from under his desk. It is more than innuendo -- it is an "Olby fun fact." Just like the obscene e-mails, the angry crazy used-for-sex groupies with websites, the orange man-tan (shall I go on) . . .

Thanks Kfk

I love having a "fun facts" Friday! It puts me

in good spirits for the upcoming holiday weekend.

Kalamity Keith casts a large loser's wake wherever he travels. He goes through jobs like infants go through diapers. Is that 14 failed jobs in 27? At any rate, Keef's about to splatter again because MSLSD just moved Tucker to the 7PM slot... stay tuned.

Hey lefties, answer my question. Why doesn't Olberboy admitt to being a Leftists?

ryan,

There may be people who respect Olbermann or O'Reilly as journalists or commentators, but I sure don't. They both cherry pick information and spin things to fit their own view of the world (despite O'Reilly's "No Spin Zone" moniker).

I watch Olbermann because he has a similar sense of humor as my own. He reminds me of friends that I have had over the years. He makes me laugh. Also, the O'Reilly feud is hilarious.

I used to watch O'Reilly almost religiously, but he has become increasingly self-righteous over the past few years, almost to the point of being McCarthyesque. Even Neil Boortz can't stand him anymore.

Both men are notorious bridge burners and it will be interesting to which one cracks first.

Do I think these guys are really giving me the news? Not on your life. That's not why Fox News or MSNBC are on the air.

Despite charges to the contrary, neither Olbermann nor O'Reilly is a true ideologue. One only need listen to Sean Hannity, Michael Moore, Ann Coulter, Ted Rall, or Sam Seder to discover what closed-minded nutcases really sound like.

Okay so I just watched the segment that Keith went after O'Reilly. Because Bill went and dissed Keith's buddy Kaplin. And then he went after everybody that watches the Factor and everybody thats doesn't take the Olby Flavor-Aid Test. (I guess were talking 97.8% of the world's pop.) But I digress. So Keith does a(nother) Michael Moore hit piece on Bill, You click over to the Factor site and see that Keith pulls another one out of Fantasy Land. And while you're there you see Bill has John Kerry on. Oh wait! Non is gona tell me how they left stuff out on the website because it's FOXNEWS!

Gee Keith you moron, how many people did you lose now? Talk about people stepping on dog s**t. You fall face first into DOG S**T!!!!!

Should I change that to 98.9% of the world's pop?

KFK

So Mikey Musto is allowed in the phone-booth but not the sand box because he might mistake it for a litter box and thats an Olby no! no!?

Johnny or Robert

I read where Foxnews is the the ninth most watched cable channel. Can you guys find the complete list? I'd like to see how many HOME SHOPPING CHANNELS are ahead of MSLSD!!! Thank-you

Happy 4th all! You too Non!

Think Olby will issue an appology for his rants on the NSA call records data bank?

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060630/ap_on_go_ot/nsa_phone_records

A weird sick panoply of characters, rumors as fact, outright lies, condemnation of the right... All this and not an opposing voice is e'er heard. That is the nightly Cirque du Olby we view and revile.

Keith is the Kurtz of Coppola writ not so large, and not really even that compelling were it not for his protestations of being unbiased.

"I watched a snail crawl along the edge of a straight razor. That's my dream. That's my nightmare. Crawling, swiftly, along the edge of a straight... razor... and surviving ...."

Keef-o to tee.

Where, oh where, is Marty Sheen when we need him most? Oh, my apologies yet again.

choice. At the very least you want someone who as a practicing attorney. But not KO. His legal "expert" is a disbarred lawyer!"

How would his dibarrment affect his legal knowledge? maybe he should stick to the subject of crooked administrations. He probably knows alot about that.

"Once again, nobody on the left answers my Question. "Why does Olberboy pertend to be non political when's a Leftist hack?
Answer that please?"

I would guess it is for the same reason Bill O'Reilly pretends be neutral, it would undemine his credability if it got out.

"All we could think about was what kind of pills KO uses when he's sending secret messages to his l
atest email squeeze-of-the-week"

If this was ever funny do you think it is the 369th time you say it?

I pledge that I will mention it fewer times than Krazy Keith mentions Viagra, loofahs, and falafels.

He brought up Richard Nixon? That's terrible!

"It took the infamous, deplorable Keith Olbermann all of sixty seconds to bring up Richard Nixon"

"I pledge that I will mention it fewer times than Krazy Keith mentions Viagra, loofahs, and falafels"

all three combined? Or each in turn?

Who is the puppet and who is the master? Having watched the original airing of O'Reillys 'Ridiculous' segment where he made a fleeting reference to MSNBC and Kaplan, I knew immediately that Krazy-Eyes Keith was gonna go ballistic. He did. Bill O ignited the short-fused one to a white-hot incandescense. Not only did Olby go on and on and on about O'Reilly, but he felt the need to attack everybody that watches him, ever watched him, hired him, fired him, worked with him, hired him....etc, etc.
I may be wrong about this, but if it only takes a few words spoken thru a crooked grin to send someone over the edge, it's certifiable and pathological obsession. Keith, I know you read these comments. RUN to your therapist and get some help. Don't walk , RUN !

Alright I know " white-hot incandescense" is an oxymoron, but hey, we are in OLBY Land here.

I forgot him crouched beneath a desk, staring into his own depraved and deplorable heart of darkness muttering to, well, whomever, "...the horror, the horror..."

And geez, he just HAD to pick the poor conservative (and female, of course) radio talk-show host as WPITW over his soul brother in Pakistan who had taken "lighting up his life" just a little too damned far. Complete with requisite x-ray, for all the curious out there.

Keef's a trainwreck in slow motion
Nervous breakdown or stroke? Get the notion?
He cheap-shotted a peer
Now the end's looming near
Sounds like Keef needs Viagra or lotion

KfK said, "I don't watch the show (Countdown)."
--------------------------------

Well that's fantastic. Hey, everyone. Let's critcize the Argentinian version of "One Life to Live." I know none of us watch it, but what the hell. KfK seems perfectly content to criticize shows he doesn't watch. And everyone knows he's infallible!

I think Scott has an interesting point. Note that Keith's rant on O'Reilly was prompted by the fact that the South Florida Sun-Sentinel misquoted John Murtha.

The Sun-Sentinel got the story completely wrong, but Keith didn't criticize them at all. He criticized the conservatives who commented on the inaccurate information, then said nothing to correct it when it was proved false.

This is EXACTLY what Keith did when he reacted to the USA Today story on the NSA phone database. Based upon Keith's logic, he should name himself Worst Person in the World for doing the exact same thing. He should also apologize for overreacting to a story that was later proved false. But don't hold your breath.

I read the transcripts and JD's fine work James. Both are in English. Reading Olby takes two seconds. Listening to Olby takes years off of a normal persons life. Mr. Dollar is on life support as we speak.

Chapter 5: The Underworld

The Bushiad

Below the weary world walked by man and beast,
Covered by a thousand feet of rock and concrete,
Fueled and lit by the energy of the atom,
Air scrubbed and washed by banks of filters,
Another world, clean, and safe from all danger,
Shelters its occupant in a plush and comfortable home.

Like the resting place of Pharaohs,
Built deep within the heart of massive pyramids,
Surrounded by stone, with provisions for the future,
Impenetrable, hidden, all construction plans destroyed
(Along with those who designed and built them),
It’s an underworld made by Halliburton to protect one man.

Dick Cheney, hard of heart, sits at his desk
Staring at a bank of television monitors,
Some hawk dishwasher detergent and hamburgers
Others display the faces of the ruling circle: Sly
Ashcroft, Proud Powell, Foul Rumsfeld, Condoleezza,
And Simple George, patron saint of Pax Americana.

Hard-hearted Cheney, bitter, scared and insecure,
Due some say to his Pisces Moon
Opposing Neptune in Virgo, smiles in
A half-grin, the left side of his face lifting while
The right side sits immobile, dragged along
Like some reluctant dog pulled unwilling by a leash.

One monitor shows no face at all, no ads
For SUVs nor Big Man Pizza Specials. It just
Displays a line; that line records a heartbeat,
For the moment, regular at 48 beats per minute.
The low rate is due to high-dosage beta-blocker
And the lingering effects of 50 milligrams of Cozaar.

The rate goes up, the half smile fades.
Cheney chuckles at a comment made by Ashcroft,
A joke made at the expense of Condoleezza,
Some rumored tryst with Rumsfeld,
How their union might produce a child
With the Powell-like color of café au lait.

“A Whitey in the woodpile?” Ashcroft cracks,
And Cheney’s heart throws a premature contraction.
A monitor beeps and prints a paper strip,
Testimony to lingering stirrings in his hard heart,
So long deprived of love and warmth and comfort,
Now resigned to pharmaceuticals.
On another screen, Simple George is talking
But Hard Cheney does not listen, merely
Picking out a few words here and there
Like "nukular," and "mass destruction" and "terrorist,"
Cringing at the poor syntax and mindless repetition
Drummed into the head of poor Simple George.

Distracted, Cheney thinks about
The legend of Saint George.
Patron saint of England and armed forces,
Dressed in red-crossed garments, sword held on high,
Then thrust into the head of the Islamic Dragon
In selfless defense of Western culture.

He considers the two Georges, how history has merged,
Brought them together now, at the right time.
The new crusades! A resumption of the battle,
This time under Stars and Stripes of red, white, blue,
With swords from heaven, dropped by eagles’ talons,
Striking down the Moslem hoards once and for all.

“Know the legend of St. George?” he asks Don.
“Destroyer of idols and false gods, he was a martyr,
His body flayed, burned, crushed, amputated, and made headless,
Yet he returned to address the troops generations later
For which, in 1348, the Order of the Garter was established.”
The mention of garter lifts his heart rate to 56.

Hard Cheney, who switches easily from
Chief warmonger to chief executive officer, is
Eager for the thrill of battle, the command of men,
And as his body double sits up top in the Senate,
Millions are unaware that unseen down below
Cheney orchestrates dark destiny of Biblical proportions.

He led Desert Storm and kicked Noriega’s ass,
Now he fantasizes about the largest army in the world
Engaged in a newer, bolder crusade against the east.
Undaunted by the treachery of so-called allies, he knows
This new mission will be the beginning or
The end; it’s in the Bible.

“Saddam’s deploying his newest missile,”
Hard Cheney starts a joke for Simple George.
“Yeah...” says George, waiting for the punch line.
“Yep,” says Cheney, “we’ve destroyed his Al Samood
Now he has no choice but to deploy his biggest;
Tomorrow Al Phallus rises above the desert!”

The monitor displays the smirk on George’s face,
Sly Ashcroft blushes, embarrassed by the joke.
Foul Rumsfeld winks, points his finger to the left
Unseen by Condoleezza whose face appears that direction,
And wanly offers a condescending gap-toothed smile.
Cheney throws a burst of tachycardia.

The heart monitor spits out a paper trail. A
Nurse makes her way to Hard Cheney’s chair,
And wiping spittle from his chin she turns up his IV,
“Its time to say goodbye to all your friends and take a nap,”
She says. Low-fat cookies and soy milk are by his pillow,
If he behaves, she’ll sing to him as he goes to sleep.

I can just imagine this being read aloud by an oh so somber and somnambulant Garrison Keillor, without a hint of irony. Zzzzzzzzzz. Zzzzzzzz.

He's obsessed with Bill O and Sean Hannity
Man-tan, Ashleigh's glasses, such vanity!
Bill O will amuse
By lighting his fuse
Viewers cringe and question his sanity
