    Olbermann Watch, "persecuting" Keith since 2004


    January 15, 2007
    COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN - JANUARY 15, 2007

    "COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN" (8:00 P.M.-9:00 P.M. ET)

    Host: Keith Olbermann

    Topics/Guests:

    • IRAQ: Rajiv Chandrasekaran, Washington Post
    • OLBERMANN'S ATTACK ON FREE SPEECH: Jonathan Turley
    • O.J. SIMPON
    • AMERICAN IDOL

    The opening spiel found Krazy Keith in rare form: an unnamed source about why Bush is wrong, another story about why Bush is wrong, why Cheney is wrong, why the Bush administration is like Stalin and Hitler. Plus O.J. Simpson's book and American Idol.

    MADMAN

    Tony Blair is against the surge. Oh, sorry, the "escalation". Clip from 60 Minutes interview (guess what clip? Right, "Mister" Bush admits mistakes!). Edward R Olbermann said 655,000 civilians have died in Iraq since the invasion, citing no source. "Mister" Bush is under fire from all sides, Cheney is even more stubborn. Olby cited Gen Casey to the effect that US troops are under US command, thereby making his hyperbolic outburst in the opening spiel ("under the command of an Iraqi general") just Another Olbermann Lie.

    Monkeymann suggested to Rajiv that our troops are being inserted into a civil war. "It's not encouraging." We're being played like a pawn, aren't we? "Maliki could well dig in his heels." Aren't we actually helping Iran? The Iraqis "really aren't on board" with our Iran policy. Great thanks.

    Next came another episode of Olby and The Perfessor, something about lawyers for the terrorists being the real victims because CEO's might not want to hire law firms who defend terrorists. The Perfessor immediately cried "intimidation" against the "troglodyte" in the administration who dared make that observation (never mind that pesky 1st Amendment, it can be so inconvenient on OlbyPlanet). This whole segment was another excursion into Olbysurrealism, where the right of corporations to refuse to hire law firms they don't like is no different than it has been for centuries, but never mind, this is the eeevil administration of "Mister" Bush taking away your rights. Or somebody's. You know, like habeas corpus.

    Next up were copious quotes and analysis of the leaked O.J. Simpson book chapter. Now wait, wasn't it not that long ago that Fat Ass was slamming the eeevil O'Reilly because Mr Bill wasn't denouncing the whole book project enough? That claim, of course, was just Another Olbermann Lie, but as soon as parts of the book are published, there's Monkeymann, reveling in every detail, complete with an interview guest. An entire segment! Need we point out this is another sterling example of Olbypocrisy at its finest?

    The kidnapped boys (regurgitated NBC video), Miss New Jersey, the internet box (this segment running immediately after Olby refers to Donald Trump's pageants as "tawdry"), and American Idol's Paula Abdul. In the Media Matters Minute, "comedian Rush Limbaugh" was attacked for speaking of the Barbara Bouncer matter (conservative slot; Blue Blog Source: Media Matters). Olby drew comparisons to earlier Laura Bush comments, and in doing so, indicted himself and verified what you read here first--Olbermann is a hypocrite. And "Fox & Fiends" (Fox slot) was attacked for daring to criticize NBC.

    OLBY

    Dogs that did not bark: The infamous, deplorable Keith Olbermann made no mention of a key Islamic militant arrested in Kenya. And for sure Herr Olbermann went out of his way not to mention the London terrorists' trial. Meanwhile, still not one word about the resignations from the Carter center. Nothing about the dramatic increase in recruiting for Iraqi police. And nothing, not even a snarky "worst person" nomination, for the speaker at the MLK service in Atlanta who analogized the hanging of Saddam Hussein to the crucifixion of Christ. Come to think of it, there was hardly any mention (maybe none?) of Martin Luther King. No time for that, of course. We need more coverage of Paula Abdul and the internet box!

    NAME

    Olbermann's book The book that bears Olberman's name rallied all the way up to #3,591 at amazon.com, but "Culture Warrior" is #98. The OlbyTome is #2,660 at Barnes & Noble; O'Reilly's book is #246 there, as well as being one of 2006's top ten best sellers. The ratings for Friday's Hour of Spin are not available due to today being King Day, but we have no doubt that the discredited sports guy suffered another humiliating loss to the eeevil O'Reilly, both in total viewers and in the critical, beloved, all-important, coveted "key demo".

    So, Howie Kurtz does a story on the charges by O'Reilly that NBC/MSNBC has a liberal bias in its reporting.

    And who does he go to for a response to these scurrilous accusations?

    MSNBC news anchor and host of the news show Countdown, Kenneth Olbermann.

    Y'know, it's a strange, strange world.

    Keith must be tired of losing
    The TV viewers are choosing
    They're all watching Fox
    Because that network rocks!
    Watch Countdown and you'll soon be snoozing

    Oh yeah. And the other NBC/MSNBC personality accused of a liberal bias, Chris Matthews, claimed that:

    "Dick Cheney is probably the man most responsible for the fact we've had troops in Saudi Arabia for 10 years. That's what drove the terrorists to attack the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. They were angry that their own holy lands were besmirched basically, dumped on by the United States for 10 years."

    Sorry, that famous "right winger" Chris Matthews made the claim.

    Mr. Bison,
    "You are what you are. A vermin spawned from a culture of white southern protestants."

    For the thousanth time, I come from the Latin Culture. As a typical ignorant Leftard, you can't conceive that there are Rightwing Hispanics. Come down to Miami and I'll introduce you.
    Hey Bison give me your contact info so we can meet face to face. It won't be violent I just want you to shit your pants when you see I'm sapnish.
    I wan't spawn from the suburban lilly white Communist culture you come from.
    So, what's up want to take on my challenge?
    Give me your email and I'll contact you.

    Again, Red Wolf, you have to wait for Comic Book Store Guy (Buffalo) to get back from POPEYE'S or JACK IN THE BOX.

    Oh no, does this mean the Red Wolf vs Buffaloe wars are going to start early tonight?

    From http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16610885/site/newsweek/

    MORE BOOMER TO-DOs

    "Ted Nugent, Rusty Wallace, Naomi Judd and other noted baby boomers on what they want to do with the rest of their lives."

    KEITH OLBERMANN, TV Host, 47

    His primetime show, “Countdown with Keith Olbermann,” is one of MSNBC's biggest draws, and Olbermann has drawn attention for his increasingly outspoken criticisms of President George W. Bush. Though he's tackling politics these days, Olbermann first made his name in sports, as a top anchor on ESPN's “SportsCenter.”

    To-Do List:

    1. "I want to have children. There's still a slight chance I could make it to their high school graduations, and maybe even make it on foot rather than in a sedan chair they have to carry."

    2. (I'll spare you all this one....he wants a baseball card)

    3. "Become president of the United States so some young fella can [complain] about me. It seems only fair."


    ###
    Wow...great goals for the man we all love....

    What a deep guy, uh?

    cee,
    Your right Bison burger's shift end at 12!

    Mike,
    I want to meet mr. Bison. He keeps claiming I'm a redneck when I'm Spanish. I wnat him to come to Miami and meet more Rightwing Hispanics. It'll blow his puny mind!

    With regards to his #1 "to-do"

    Doesn't Olbermann realize the ladies HAVE the children?

    Perhaps he has developed such a big ego that he believes he could even do that?!?

    Objection!....question asked AND answered!

    "Perhaps he has developed such a big ego that he believes he could even do that?!?"

    Well, maybe he saw this story: http://www.breitbart.com/news/2007/01/15/D8MM33JO0.html

    He wants to have his own baby.

    Now THAT's an ego.

    Redwolf,
    You claimed that Jews in America aren't real Jews and real Jews would be in Israel so your girlfriend isn't a real Jew. Then why should anyone take what she says seriously? You held her out as the Jewish expert then claimed she isn't a real Jew at all.

    well Cee I did read over the weekend that doctors somewhere were getting ready to do a womb transplant.

    So in Olby's mind if he could get a womb, get pregnant, have a kid.

    Yeah, he might then finally beat O'Reilly in the ratings.

    Imagine if Olby got a womb transplant. Puck, if we tell Olby to go (blank) himself, it would have an entirely different meaning. Olby getting a transplant is scary science fiction. Do we really want that pompous jerk to reproduce? Ick.

    Colbert,
    She's was in the IDF. So she paid her dues. She's a manager in her Israeli based company's US IT divison. She lived and grew up there and served in the IDF. So she's more Jewish than any American Jew if you want to get into that. She doesn't like NY Jews. She thinks their scumbags and I for the most part agree with her. They symapthize with Hamas and Hizballah against Israel. Also NY Jews are racist towards Hispanics. So I really couldn't care for them. Living here in Florida I've ran into Floridian Jews and they're really a nice lot. Alot of them are of Spanish and Portuguese origin so they're not prejudiced.

    More PR Bullshit from Ko to make himself seem normal. If he wanted kids he'd have gotten married and had them by now. He doesn't, it's jsut designed to make him seem normal, more PR at contract renegotiation time.

    Guys watch out. The Bushwatch people are about to start attacking Bush. Remeber the more you guys bash Olbermann the more the loons come out of the ground and then don't defend Olbermann but attack Bush.

    Redwolf,
    Have you seen Bush's poll numbers? Have you read what other conservatives have said about him? Does your puny brain comprhend that he is disliked by the vast majority of Americans? Do you really think %60+ of the American people are liberals or loons or any of your other attacks?

    Colbert,
    If you haven't read my posts before here's a reminder.
    I am not a Bush supporter! He's a lackey for Internationalist Global traitorous Corporations!
    How many times do I have to repeat myself.
    It's that unlike you Leftards he's not the be all and end all of my existence! I don't care about him. I'm sick of talking about him. My life is going good, so I don't care. As long as the economy stays goos and I continue to have a job and make money I could care less who's president.
    You got that!
    This is an Olbermann site. I come here to expose his Pro-Jihad Leftwing Propganda. But in reality I don't care about Teheran Keith. He doesn't affect my life. You loons come here and instead of discussing Teheran Keith all you guys talk about is:
    Bush
    Bush
    Bush
    Bush.
    Start Bushwatch. Heck I'll even bash Bush there.
    This is Olbermannwatch!
    Get it!

    Redwolf,
    I also notice you never explained why Ike, Reagan and Bush sided against Israel and Nixon was an anti-Semite even though the right is supposedly pro-Israel. The reason the current Christian right wants the Jews in Israel is because the Bible says it has to be that way for Jesus to come back. At which point all the Jews, whom the Christian right hate, will be massacred and sent to hell.
    Finally, if Clinton is anti-Israeli, why is he popular among the "real Jews" in Israel? Are the "real Jews" too stupid to know what's good for them too?

    "Does your puny brain comprhend that he is disliked by the vast majority of Americans?"

    Truman had a 19% approval rating at the end of his presidency.

    Other examples; perhaps not as obvious.

    BTW, since you are focused on poll's, what are Pelosi's and Reid's approval ratings?

    Actually I think they do get it, which is why they keep changing the subject.

    Hey maybe Keith and his 20-year old girlfriend can have a kid together. Then when the kid is 20, maybe one of KO's co-workers (Dan Abrams maybe?) can shack up with her and knock her up. It would only be fair I think.

    "The reason the current Christian right wants the Jews in Israel is because the Bible says it has to be that way for Jesus to come back. At which point all the Jews, whom the Christian right hate"

    Do you just pull this out of your ass? Or does someone pull it out of their ass and give it to you?

    Whatever the case, it's a lot of stuff from someone's ass.

    Colbert,
    Reagan was pro-Israel you idiot. The old Right was anti-Semetic, however the new Right is pro-Israel. The old Dems like Truman and Kennedy were pro-Israel. However with the rise of the Marxist influence New Left in the early 70's, They view Israel as an imperialist state and are allied with the Jihadists. Carter was anti-Israel so was Clinton.

    "if Clinton is anti-Israeli, why is he popular among the "real Jews" in Israel"
    Nope, not true most Israelis I met hate Clinton. He stabbed them in the back and supported Hamas and Arafat.

    "At which point all the Jews, whom the Christian right hate, will be massacred and sent to hell. "
    Obviously you know nothing about the Christian religion. Just a reminder to your anti-Christain bigotted barin, Christianity comes from Judiasm. The reason Evangelicals and Religious Catholics are pro-Israel is because in the Old Testament, Yahweh gave that land to the Jews!
    That's why. Do me a favor, before you comment on my Religion read the scriptures 1st.

    Everyone this is Colbert and his Jihadi-Lefties buddies favorite subject:
    Bush
    Bush
    Bush
    Bush
    Bush
    Bush
    Bush
    Bush
    Bush

    They're obsessed with him!

    The reason the secular left is opposed to the State of Israel is they're afraid that if Jesus does return to earth, they'll all be sent to hell for rejecting God and for living decadent and immoral lives.

    There. I can make up stuff too.

    Oy. And I do mean Oy.

    Ohboy,
    To Colbert and his Leftard friends all religions must be tolerated except one. Christianity! God forbid you make fun of Muslims then they all come out and attack. That's why I post anti-Muslim jokes. Their love of Islam is their Achilles heel. They go nuts when you point out that Muhammed(Shit be Upon him)was pedophile that married an 8 year old name Aisha! Watch the attacks on me begain!
    Q: What does Islam stand for?
    A: Idiotic Stupid Lowlife a--hole Murders!

    Oyboy,
    Be prepared, the Leftard Jihadis are gonna gather around Midnight and come after you!

    I hate Bush!
    I hate Bush!
    I hate Bush!
    I hate Bush!
    I hate Bush!
    I hate Bush!
    I hate Bush!
    I hate Bush!
    I hate Bush!
    I hate Bush!

    Olbermann is the greatest philosopher since I!
    He's a genious and how dare you attack him!
    He Hates Bush that makes him him great!
    I hate Bush!
    Bush is my very existence!

    Bush!
    Bush!
    Bush!
    Bush!
    Bush!
    Bush!

    Ohboy,
    A USAToday poll showed more than a third of Americans support Israel because of the reason I stated. Would you also like quotes from right-wingers that support my claim?

    I bet Keith was so specific with that one card because he wants his deluded fans to buy it for him. Keith likes to use his fans, for baseball cards, free ties, sex...

    Colbert,
    Your a anti-Christian bigot. The reason Evangelicals and Catholics aupport Israel is because in the Old Testament it said that God gave the land to Jews! Yes there are biblical prophesies that states that Israel must exists again so Jesus returns, but also from the Jewish point Israel must exist for the Messiah to appear. See the link. Also Christians belive that when Jesus returns, Jews will accept him as their messiah. No where does it say they will burn in hell! Your obviously obssed with Christians. If you hate Christians so much, move to France or Iran. We're the majority of this country so tough! Get over it!

    The above post was I

    I'm out for the night. But before I go.
    Keith Olbermann is Jihad supporting pro-Iran Leftard fool!

    "A USAToday poll showed more than a third of Americans support Israel because of the reason I stated."

    If you had that poll, I'm sure you'd link it.

    Second, and more important, these same folks that you cite above support Israel because it's a democracy, a friend of the US, a homeland for the long suffering Jews, et cetera, et cetera.

    The support for the State of Israel among Christian Americans is deep and complex.

    To assign _only_ religious or theological reasons for this support is another example of how you folks on the left are ignorant of about 70 million of your fellow Americans.

    I like how the NeoCons like to say Olbermann's ideological stance centers around his hatred of Bush , When this blog's very existence is centered around the admin's hatred of Olbermann.

    People get angry and begin to hate when they know their views are flawed and are unable to convince their opponents otherwise.

    This blog is rife with examples of that every day.

    As a previous post so eloquently put it:

    Olbermann Watch:

    O'Reilly Based News for the Belligerently Uniform

    Everyone in Lock Step, Forward - March!

    Hey Red Wolf-Over 3,000 of your fellow Americans have died in Iraq to 'liberate' a nation of Muslims.

    Red Wolf:

    "My life is going good, so I don't care. As long as the economy stays goos and I continue to have a job and make money I could care less..."

    2. Christians must disavow Armageddon scenarios. The Christian articulators of these scenarios support Israel not because that state has an inherent right to survive but because Israel plays a central role in the apocalyptic projections of a world ruled by Christ, a world in which there will be no more Israel, no more Judaism and no more Jews. The issue is important since Armageddon theology has been affirmed not only by fringe groups but by Ronald Reagan. Jews must be assured by Christians that they are more than pawns in Christian eschatologies illicitly extracted from Ezekiel or the Book of Revelation.

    There you go.

    I see the collective IQ of this board has dropped at least 50 points tonight!

    As a christian, how can one believe that one piece of land is any hollier than another. The Jews of Jesus time waited for a conquering king to appear and liberate them and rule the world. Sounds like "some" christians are waiting for the same thing now. He said "my kingdom is not of this world". The body of believers is the new Israel. It doesn't matter if you are a Jew, or a Greek, woman or man. "The earth is the Lords and the fullness thereof"... Trying to justify wars and killing in his name will only bring wrath upon us. But you can be sure that because I don't buy the current brand of Christianity that I am labled a secular socialist liberal by people who are ravenous wolves in sheeps clothing.

    Redwolf,
    The Jews will be killed and any Jews remaining will convert to Christianity so there will be no jews left.

    Reagan sided with Iraq and condemned Israel after it's attack against the nuclear facility. Even the religious right admitted Clinton was popular in Israel. They claim he caused the people to force the government to do what he wanted. But i'm sure the two Israeli's you've talked to is more scientific than anything else.

    Keith mentioned my favorite stat tonight:

    "655,000 civilians have died in Iraq since the invasion"

    Lets take a look at this mathematically:

    We'll take the Wikipedia date for the invasion of Iraq as March 30, 2003. That's 8 months (276 days) until January '04... so add 3 years (1095 days), and we get 44 months (1371 days) of involvement.

    So according to KO and this "study", in the 1386 days (+15 because today is the 15th) 655,000 Iraqi civilians have died.

    That means that AN AVERAGE OF OVER 472 PEOPLE DIE A DAY!

    ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! 472 PEOPLE A DAY! Believing this is even possible, is just dumb. Plain and simple. Dumb.

    Donora PA,

    "...I don't buy the current brand of Christianity..."

    OK. How many "brands" of Christianity are there? Did you buy a previous brand of Christianity? How many brands of Christianity are good? Just lay it all out for us.

    By the way, I loved the "ravenous wolves in sheeps clothing" line. You are sounding rather apocolyptic. I thought that was a bad thing.

    I know it upsets "Christians" when other "Christians" have an opinion about Christianity that doesn't agree with their version. Lets not pretend that Christianity is a unifoed thing. I have an opinion and so do you about who Christ was and what he wants. You, or others may feel that the land of Israel and the people that call themselves Jews today are the center of Christianity. I say they are important, but I see a bigger picture that includes the whole earth as "his land" and the human race as his "chosen people". Just because I am not a evangelical born again Christian or a Jew, " I am an eatern rite Catholic by the way" doesn't mean to me that I am secular liberal left wing devil. I reserve the right and the privalige to disagree with a very worldly and materialistic version of Christianity that really doesn't respect the Jews for who they are right now as much as for who they were and who they think they will be.

    A couple of observations.
    Donora PA is like an oasis in the parched desert at this site.

    And good to see Dr. Lapdog( cee) broke down and got his basic cable package updated in order to watch Countdown so he can chime in here with the other sheep.
    Did you need to take out a loan for the increase in your cable package, but just raise your fees to your patients ?

    That extra 10 bucks a month must have been hard on you.
    Maybe we can take up a collection on this site, to help you defray the costs, Cee .

    BTW, I particularly like the segment tonite with Rajiv.
    This correspondent has spent more time in Iraq than almost anyone but the troops themselves.
    What he says has credibility, much more than politicians flying in for a few days, hiding out in their isolated, totally protected areas and then going back home and speaking like they know what's going on in Iraq.

    Another credible source of information about this war has come from a few excellent documentaries by imbedded reporters that have been in the heat of battle.
    The tell a totally different story than you'll hear from this administration or Fox News which is actually one in the same.
    Getting back to Rajiv tonite...
    He is bewildered how this new surge..er escalation...ah...augmentation is actually going to ...ah ...WORK.
    Stating how it's very possible that it would make the Civil War even worse, seemed more realistic than all of the pie in the sky scenarios we've been hearing from Bush and his puppets.

    Watching the death counts rise will be very tough to take. Observing the "noses" growing on the Pinochios will be the only minor consolation.

    Humble,

    I am not a Christian, and have never said I was. But I know what a Christian is.

    If you look at previous posts from Donora you will see far too much anger there for him to really be a Christian.

    Rico is much better at trying to point the finger at other people and ask them what they are for then he is explaining what he is for. As far as me being too angry to be a Christian, you have not a clue what being a Christian means if you are not angry at people who take the Lords name in vain by invoking him in a nationalistic pridefull and vengefull war that was a political ploy that backfired and now is a killing field.

    Rico may not be a good Christian but he is certainly a good republican.

    Ha !

    It was once considered Americans' patriotic duty: enduring extraordinary tax
    increases in wartime to help finance the fight. Not today. Iraq is the only
    major US conflict, except for the 1846-48 Mexican-American War, in which
    citizens haven't been asked to make a special financial sacrifice. President
    Chimpy opposes tax increases, even as the costs escalate far beyond
    predictions and he calls for more troops.

    Just pass the debt onto future generations...yeah...that's the ticket !
    Being a republican means never having to say you're sorry.( about bankrupting a country or starting wars.)

    Nothing like getting lectured about guts from a guy whose idea of hunting is to go to a private club and shoot cage-raised birds. And yet that's what we got Sunday, when Dick Cheney was brought above ground, re-animated and rolled into Fox News, to tell America we need to have the "stomach to finish the task in Iraq."

    It was especially interesting to compare and contrast Darth Cheney's gut check with the president's comments later on 60 Minutes, when he said he didn't watch the entire Saddam hanging video. Didn't stay for the icky part--you know, the part when the guy he spent billions of dollars and thousands of lives to have killed actually was killed. "They could have handled it a lot better," Mr. Bush said.

    Odds are the warrior in chief won't be watching the video of Monday's hangings, either, especially the part where Saddam's half brother was accidentally decapitated by the apparent ineptitude of the local hangman.

    Let's see...what exactly are we supposed to have "the stomach" for?
    Three thousand dead Americans...
    22 thousand wounded Americans...
    Hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqis...
    And as part of an "important milestone" for the new Iraqi nation, three truly horrific, brutal executions that cannot help but bring shame by association to the people of the US.

    On the other hand, maybe I'm making too much of this whole Iraq nightmare. After all, Cheney did tell us just this Sunday that "we have, in fact, made enormous progress" there.

    Which reminds me, when Cheney testifies in the Scooter Libby trial, will they even bother to swear him in? Will anybody on a jury believe that he's capable of telling the truth?

    THis site looks considerbaly gayer since the last time I was here. Kudos and stay safe. ;)

    Being a Dem means never being afraid to ask for more taxes....
    Hmmmmmmmm

    Are you afraid the country is cash poor?

    Don't think that Cheney has much humor but if he did he would use the great line: Depends on what the definition of is, is.

    I saw something funny this morning at the c-store.

    Somebody with Jersey license plate get out of their car look at the fuel pump and go "Now what do I do?"

    Are you afraid the country is cash poor?

    No, but I'm sure the dems are trying to spend like theres now tomorrow.

    Which reminds me when Cheney testifies........

    Stop it you're killing me! Do you live in Jersey too?

    Puck still supporting these criminals. How "republican" of him !

    Puck,

    It is no accident that record deficits always coincide with Republican presidents...

    Jon Corzine says New Jersey property owners will get a tax cut but he has to raise taxes to pay for it.

    And I'm supposed to take you people seriously.

    Are you afraid the country is cash poor?

    No, but I'm sure the dems are trying to spend like theres now tomorrow.

    Just how stupid is Puck?

    The past 6 years, his president never vetoed one single spending bill.The last time we had a balanced budget was under a Democratic president.
    Does he have amnesia or has senility set in ?

    puck loves to forget the failures of the psat 6 years.
    Puck's an idiot.

    The federal deficit has improved significantly in the first three months of the new budget year, helped by a continued surge in tax revenues.

    In its monthly budget report, the Treasury Department said Friday that the deficit from October through December totaled $80.4 billion (EUR 62.36 billion), the smallest imbalance for the first three months of a budget year since 2002. The budget year ends Sept. 30.

    Tax collections are running 8.2 percent higher than a year ago while government spending is up by just 0.7 percent from a year ago. Last year's spending totals were boosted by significant payments to help the victims of the Gulf Coast hurricanes.

    The Treasury said for December, the government actually ran a surplus of $44.5 billion (EUR 34.51 billion), the largest surplus ever recorded in December and a gain that reflected a big jump in quarterly corporate tax payments.

    The $80.4 billion (EUR 62.36 billion) deficit for the first three months of the current budget year was down 32.6 percent from the imbalance for the same period a year ago of $119.4 billion (EUR 92.61 billion).

    The neo-nuts are touting a decrease in the massive federal deficit, completely forgetting which party ran up the deficit in the first place.
    Under Bill Clinton, there was a surplus. Bush squandered that surplus in the first 7 months of his presidency BEFORE 9/11. So you morons can't even say it was b/c of the war.
    You got nothing...as usual.

    Whatever

    First I'm registered an independent. While I guess you belong to "The kool-aid Party" nice try. How do you know he's my president? Did you see me walk into the booth to vote?

    Nice try but I've heard that one before.

    So just how stupid are you?

    Shithead- Why start your research after research on Bush's watch. If you did unbiased research you would find the economy was trending down before Bush took over AND clinton had already started burning off the surplus. So f---ing dumb and biased its insane!

    First I'm registered an independent. While I guess you belong to "The kool-aid Party" nice try. How do you know he's my president? Did you see me walk into the booth to vote?

    Puck is trying to pretend that he's not a asskissing Bush apologist.
    No Puck, you didn't vote for George Bush, and we're winning the war in Iraq and don't have a massive debt either.

    Puck is a stone cold idiot....and liar.

    You know whatever

    It must be funny, I'm free to watch and listen to what I want.

    You on the other hand can watch what you want to hear.

    You must be one of those nut-jobs that brought a "Foxnews Blocker" for your t.v. a few years ago. Because Fox News scares you.

    If I ever find out where you live I'm gona fly my plane over and drop "Factor golf shirts" on your front yard.

    Wait, you don't live in section 8 housing, do you?

    Bush entered office WITH A SURPLUS:FACT.

    He turned that surplus into a deficit within the first few months of his presidency: FACT.

    Even though he has run up this deficit, he hasn't vetoed a single spending bill:FACT

    HE cannot pay for his War in Iraq and is passing the bill onto future generations:FACT

    ALL YOU GOT IS GOP PROPAGANDA : FACT

    "because Fox News Scares you"

    Need I say anymore of Puck's grip on reality ?

    Fox news: We report, We decide.

    Stone Cold idiot !

    PROPAGANDA is living in a vaccum like you.
    I don't make excuses for Bush's non-conservative
    spending- But this SURPLUS was essentially
    non exsistant when he started. That is a fact that
    you try to delute with other BS. You work for MSNBC?

    Oh am I making you mad?

    are you starting to say bad words, calm down take a chill pill, so I guess in you're world as long as they don't think in lockstep with you and Keith their RW'S?

    Puck is a stone cold idiot....

    Now,Now Richard Cory took that word out of the New Jersey State Constitution. Remember la,la,la,. It's a feel good thing.

    and a liar! liar! liar!

    Okay I'll play you're dopey little game.

    And you're stupid,stupid,stupid,

    How come I feel I'm matching wits with somebody from day care.

    In response to the religious bigotry from OZ (Colbert) and Donora, I would like to present a nice little story from CNN about "an ark," an embryo and Hurricane Katrina....

    "Tiniest Katrina survivor finally born"

    COVINGTON, Louisiana (AP) -- The parents of an embryo rescued from a flooded and sweltering hospital during the tumultuous weeks after Hurricane Katrina welcomed Noah Markham on Tuesday morning.

    The boy was born by Caesarean section at 7:23 a.m. CT (8:23 a.m. ET) at St. Tammany Hospital. Before the procedure, his mother, Rebekah Markham, had decided on the name -- provided the baby was a boy -- "because God put it on his heart to build an ark."

    When Katrina struck, the baby was one of 1,400 embryos frozen for storage in canisters of liquid nitrogen at a hospital in eastern New Orleans.

    Rebekah Markham, 32, had evacuated before the hurricane with their toddler, Glen Witter "Witt" Markham Jr. Her husband, a New Orleans police officer, stayed to work.

    Dr. Belinda "Sissy" Sartor of The Fertility Institute of New Orleans and the clinic's lab director, Roman Pyrzak, had led seven Illinois Conservation Police officers and three from Louisiana State Police on a rescue expedition to the facility in flat-bottomed boats brought from Illinois.

    Witt is also an in-vitro baby. His embryo was created at the same time as his brother's, but it was implanted immediately, while five others were frozen in case of miscarriage -- and because the Markhams always wanted more than one child.

    They're not sure whether they'll have a third.

    "I thought three would be the ideal number," Rebekah Markham has said. But her medical problems have required bedrest for the first three months of each pregnancy. "And I was even more sick with this one than with Witt."

    They also needed a lot of family help to take care of Witt, a boy who never seems to stop running. So any decision probably will be postponed until both children are in school.

    Well, I guess Will and Noah were not considered property when they were embryos....hence the humanistic characterizations.....

    But again...if the sources of their gamates (their parents) had CHOSEN differently?......

    a world of contradictions


    Puck thinks he's matching wits .
    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    "But this SURPLUS was essentially
    non exsistant when he started. That is a fact that
    you try to delute with other BS."

    Essentially ! How funny is that.
    The fact remains Bush inherited a surplus and turned it into a deficit faster than you can say Puck is an idiot.

    Puck is still trying to defend the failed GOP agenda.
    He still doesn't get why the GOP lost both houses of COngress.
    Oh, and Puke has a plane.
    How funny is that !
    I'm impressed.

    Like I said, you got nothing.

    "essentially non existent !"

    This guy is a comedian.Lame one, but his points are laughable .
    Still trying to cover for his incompetent president.

    And he's trying to disguise that he voted for Bush.

    Great stuff, Puck.

    Tell us about Katrina, Cee, and how your president left his vacation and went to help the people in need.

    Oh, that's right, he didn't.

    Cee, another stone cold idiot.

    Forever and a day will Bush's legacy will be that he hired an Arabian Horse Show organizer as FEMA head. The funny part is that he was fired from that job, and Bush still hired him at this important post.

    New Orleans is still a disaster area, while Bush continues make Iraq a disaster area.

    My God, how these idiots love to spin their bullshit. !

    What a dope!!!!!

    Fox News, We report, You decide.

    Okay so for free thinking people with A BRAIN! We can look at something on Fox News and decide is it real or B.S.

    We are also free to tune to other channels CNN,MSNBC and get other points of view.

    We don't make up our minds, by listening to what some nut told us.

    But what do expect from somebody who can't spell their name, or doesn't know the alphabet to spell it?

    Posted by ???? 10:31a.m.

    It gets back to that day care thing.

    well I have to go away now and play good capitalist, but I'll be back.

    But before I go let me go real slow for the day care section with us today.

    Fox.......News........Now I know this is the hard part for you but try to stay with me, ready?

    ...........We(got that?) report.......You(still with me?) Decide.

    Wait that last word might have you stumped, let me help.

    Decide (verb): to make a judgement on.

    Oh wait! Judgement that means you are going to have to think. Oh oh! you might end up having a headache.

    Gotta go!!! Bye-bye!!!!!

    "New Orleans is still a disaster area...."

    Bush is bad- his energy policy caused the hurricane.
    Bush is worse- he failed to evacuate all those poor souls.
    Bush is worser- he failed get aid their quick enough. (true)
    Bush is worsest- he has failed to spend enough money to raise a city that is under sea level devastated by unprecedented flooding in record time.

    Spare me.

    Do you hear how idiotic it is to blame ALL of Katrina on one man? You need to move on loser.

    Everything the Left says is Bush, Bush, Bush.
    Is he God or the center of the universe? I really wish he would disappear so I don't have to hear that name or these whiney Leftards keep talking about Bush, Bush, Bush!

    Red Wolf,

    Bush is the one responsible for the war, the economy, all of our diplomacy, trade agreements, etc...

    The fact
