    Olbermann Watch, "persecuting" Keith since 2004


    March 7, 2008
    Countdown with Keith Olbermann - March 7, 2008

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

    Host: Keith Olbermann

    Topics/Guests:

    • 2008 ELECTION: Richard Wolffe, Newsweek chief White House correspondent and MSNBC political analyst; Lawrence Korb, senior fellow at the Center for American Progress; Dana Milbank, Washington Post national political reporter

    Keith Oralmann bellowed the last opening spiel of the week: Obama vs Hillary! Obamamentum! McCain gets "testy"! Another O'Reilly attack! Yes, it must be casual Friday at Olbermann Watch.

    Bathtub Boy

    #5: Is Hillary really a "monster"? Heavy coverage of Samantha Power's remarks. Hill questions Obama's Iraq withdrawal plan. Olby scolds Hillary over NAFTA inconsistencies. Obama "gets points" for quick reaction to the flap but Hillary's statements have a "disconnect". Again Merkle complains that Hillary is using "debunked" arguments and whines about her telephone call ads for the 813th time. The Wolffe Man simpered but was not Great Thanksed.

    Obama really won Texas and Herr Olbermann suggested maybe Hillary should be out of the race by now. If Obama wins Wyoming does he get momentum? Robinson rambled but was not Great Thanksed.

    #4: Hillary people (Keithy listed them) keep smearing Obama without repercussions, but one wrong word and an Obama staffer is fired. Double standard!!! But no matter, the whole flap magically somehow works to Obama's advantage! Imagine that. Dana Milbank, without weird wardrobe, parroted and was Great Thanksed.

    After a "comedian" [Ding!] came #3: McCain will "bring a lifetime of anger to the campaign"! Citations of McCain f-word uses. He shouldn't be near the trigger! Even the military fears him (citing military folks who just coincidentally are all supporting Clinton or Obama)! He's another George Bush, only more "irrational"! Then this outrageous, foaming-at-the-mouth temper tantrum on an airplane. Mark Benjamin of the discredited leftist Salon.com smeared away on how McCain "scares" the military, "loses his mind", and so was naturally Great Thanksed.

    After another replay of Bear's sappy, hypocritical plea to abandon partisanship, came #2: plug for #1, and #1: negative campaign websites.

    In the Media Matters Minute, Krazy Keith stuck to his favorite targets: O'Reilly attack #429: (Blue Blog Source: Crooks & Liars), and worst: "fear-monger" Oliver North (Blue Blog Source: Think Progress). Fixed News! [Ding!]. Oh, and Edward R Olbermann also attacked Dana Perino for mistaking Stenny Hoyer as a Senator rather than in the House (Blue Blog Source: Think Progress). To be sure, "Man on Fan" Olbermann made no mention of his own peculiar House/Senate confusion: when he called on the House of Representatives to mount a filibuster. But hey, Olbypocrisy is coin of the realm on The Hour of Spin. otherwise we would hear "Herr Keith Olbermahn, Worst Person in the Worrrrrrrld!"

    Keith Limpermann

    If it's Friday, it's our weekly assessment of Krazy Keith's masculinity. This week, Monkeymann attacked Fox and other broadcasters 30 times. Olby's source (Hillary Clinton's Media Matters) criticized (MS)NBC 15 times, but Keithy protected his corporate masters with zero criticisms. That makes this week's Olbermann Manhood Quotient: -90 [pansy limp].

    MisterMeter

    Tonight's MisterMeter reading: 1 [LOW]

    And that's The Hour of Spin for this, the 671st day since the declaration that "Karl Rove will in fact be indicted".

    Now Keith Olbermann is saying McCain is crazy because he was a POW. We new this trick was coming. Where is the Keith Olbermann who complained about the Swift Boat adds? He is now making his own hour long swift boats adds every night. Not to worry though, Mike will still come to this site day after day and defend Olbermann. Mike and his fellow Olbyloons have no problem with a POW getting smeared, as long as it is a Republican. The only thing that matters to Keith and his useful idiots is power at all cost.

    Limpy critisizes ORreilly because 3 of his guests didn't agree with Bill.

    How could he critisize something that he knows nothing about?

    Keithy, at least he has the balls to have an opposite view on. PUSSY

    If an olby falls in a forest, can you heat it? Not according to AC Nielsen:

    http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/ratings/default.asp

    "Double standard!!! "

    You've got to admit, life is beautiful right now *sniff* - tears of joy. 6 months of this, right?

    No partisanship for Keithy, he's raking both Clinton and McCain over the coals.

    "Now Keith Olbermann is saying McCain is crazy because he was a POW. We new this trick was coming."

    Well, Factor, I watched the show after reading your comment, and I think you are obviously projecting your own unease with your candidate onto those you love to hate.

    Where did anyone on Countdown tonight say anything about McCain's POW experiences? Obviously he is a crotchety old fart with a big fat cheek-full of loose screws, but so far you are the only one I've seen (since Bush in 2000, anyway) to make the association between his growing dementia and his period of captivity. Nice job.

    Olbermann is doing what many left wing cowards are staring to do, including the New York Slimes. Saying McCain is crazy because of his stint as a POW. It is very easy to see, even for ignorant liberal who like you who has fallen for the buzz words of the rock n roll racist Obamanation. Once again, you have no proof the George Bush did any of that. Keep up your smears and lies.

    "Well, Factor, I watched the show after reading your comment..."

    Now I know Johnny$ watches the show so we don't have to but are you telling me someone else actually watches this crap?

    Factor, you're dealing w/a self professed pinko. Nuff said.

    Once again, you have no proof the George Bush did any of that. Keep up your smears and lies.

    Posted by: The Factor at March 7, 2008 10:15 PM


    Sorry Factor; hate to screw up your political fantasy, but these Wikipedia entries are confirmed by all sources on the subject:


    "The battle between Bush and McCain for South Carolina has entered American political lore as one of the dirtiest and most brutal ever.[93][100][101] A variety of interest groups that McCain had challenged in the past now pounded McCain with negative ads.[93] Bush tried to co-opt McCain's message of reform,[102] while refusing to disassociate himself from a veterans activist who accused McCain (in Bush's presence) of having "abandoned the veterans" on POW/MIA and Agent Orange issues.[93][103] Incensed,[103] McCain ran ads accusing Bush of lying and comparing Bush to Bill Clinton,[93] which Bush complained was "about as low a blow as you can give in a Republican primary."[93] An unidentified party began a semi-underground smear campaign against McCain, delivered by push polls, faxes, e-mails, and flyers, claiming most infamously that he had fathered a black child out of wedlock (the McCains' dark-skinned daughter Bridget was adopted from Bangladesh), and also that his wife Cindy was a drug addict, that he was a homosexual, and that he was a "Manchurian Candidate" traitor or mentally unstable from his North Vietnam POW days.[93][100] The Bush campaign strongly denied any involvement with these attacks.[100] Bush mobilized the state's evangelical voters[93] and outspent McCain.[104] Leading conservative broadcaster Rush Limbaugh supported Bush and labeled McCain a favorite of liberal Democrats.[104] McCain lost South Carolina on February 19, with 42 percent of the vote to Bush's 53 percent,[105] allowing Bush to regain the momentum.[105] McCain would soon say of the rumor spreaders, "I believe that there is a special place in hell for people like those."[68] According to one report, the South Carolina experience left McCain in a "very dark place."[100]"

    In fact, a brief googling of the subject elicited the following right-wing Freeper web-page - pretty disgusting, and not a lefty in sight:

    Well it takes a true blue brainwashed moron to not see the game the Olbermann is playing. It is the same game the mean faced witch at the New York Slimes was doing when she asked McCain if he was angry. It is cowardly ploy to plant the notion that McCain is "damaged" from his POW experience. Why aren’t SLOB and his master Keith asking why the Rock n Roll racist Obamanation gave a speech in 1995 saying "that white Americans couldn't care less about the profound problems African-Americans are facing." Obamanation

    According to the orange faced retard, we should just start moving obama in the white house so he can start painting it some horrible blue or green color! Yellow? All based on money! Don't you dare, you worthless hack, mention the fact that a great deal of money is no doubt coming from terrorist associations.


    Fighting the Obamenon: Not to give you any flashbacks to the SAT's...Or flash-forwards. But which number is bigger: 15-million? Or four. Our fifth story on the Countdown: the hint, is that the fifteen million represents the minimum difference between two remarkable February fund-raising efforts. 35 million for Senator Clinton. "Considerably more" -- several reports peg it at, at least 50 million for Senator Obama. But no... in this world at least, none of those numbers is larger... than four.

    "I've already answered 8 questions and I refuse to answer questions about my shady land deals!"

    obama, 2 days ago

    Why didn't the orange faced hack mention this little gem? That's a rhetorical question....

    You're delusional. Please show even the tiniest scrap of a quote or transcript that supports your attribution that Olbermann or the "left" is smearing McCain's unfortunate experiences in the service. No one is currently saying these "damaged POW" things that I can find except for the Freepers.

    Are you presenting this straw-man as a "get out of jail free" card by which McCain's intensifying cult can excuse any whacky senility he happens to emit?

    Well you better practice-up, because McCain is WAY 'round the bend, and I don't think we've seen anything yet.

    I think we should lay low on the Obama until he takes Hillary down. There is plenty of time for him later.

    Posted by: Sir Loin of Beef at March 7, 2008 10:37 PM

    SLOB presents unproven lies on Wikipedia a proof. LOL This was floated by the McCain camp and investigated and there were never any ties to George Bush. You failed again liar. There were never any phone calls recorded and never any fliers found. This was an accusation by McCain camp when he was losing. It was never proven or linked to Bush. Pulling crap off of Wikipedia is like pulling crap off any other left wing smear site. Your FreeRepublic article is useless. You make the meaningless assumption that Bush runs FreeRepublic. Where is your proof? You still ignor what we all see Olbermann doing.

    SLOB,

    The word on the street is that Carl Rove is quietly helping Ralph Nader to get his campaign in high gear. We insiders already know that ole' Ralphie is going to make the difference for us again, just like he did in 2000.

    Glorifying Obama Is One Of The Greatest Journalistic Failures In American History
    By: Herb Denenberg, The Bulletin
    03/07/2008

    The mainstream media have just committed one of the most disgraceful acts of journalistic malfeasance and nonfeasance in the history of America. By glorifying, deifying and canonizing Sen. Barack Obama and failing to examine his record, the mainstream media helped assure his nomination. Some experts say it is already in the bag, even if Hillary Clinton completes her astounding comeback by winning Pennsylvania on April 22.

    The second act in that journalistic disgrace is that after the outcome of the nomination process was almost over, suddenly the mainstream media came to its senses and started half-heartedly covering the whole Obama story, which if told, in my view, would make it apparent that he is unfit for the presidency.

    http://www.thebulletin.us/site/index.cfm?newsid=19369226&BRD=2737&PAG=461&dept_id=576361&rfi=8

    > No one is currently saying these "damaged POW" things that I can find except for the Freepers. Please show even the tiniest scrap of a quote or transcript...

    He's already called McCain delusional. Tonight he added irrational, and permitted his guest to say McCain is losing his mind without speaking one contrary word.

    I know that's three quotes, and you only asked for one. But if you can't see what Keithy is up to, then you just might be an Olbypologist.

    Your FreeRepublic article is useless. You make the meaningless assumption that Bush runs FreeRepublic. Where is your proof? You still ignor what we all see Olbermann doing.

    ...no, I'm simply stating that the only people doing what you are complaining about are on the far right. Deal with it.

    No actually you said George Bush is the only one pushing the idea that McCain is a damaged POW and presented no proof. We have present you proof of Olbermann saying on his show that McCain is "delusional" and "irrational". When has George Bush call McCain "delusional" or "irrational"?

    I know that's three quotes, and you only asked for one. But if you can't see what Keithy is up to, then you just might be an Olbypologist.

    Is this suposed to prove, like Factor asserts, that Olbermann is drawing conclusions about McCain's POW experiences? Your three "quotes" ("words" is really more appropriate) say nothing aout Vietnam at all, as far as I can tell. You are all far less than convincing.

    I fully believe that McCain is nuts; but this condition has everything to do with the cognitive dissonance of being a "conservative" in America today, and simple advanced age, and essentially nothing to do with his particular military servce.

    Once again - you guys are the only ones harping on this angle, and desperatey claiming it is being presented by your opponents. Pathetic, really -and hghly disrespectful of your new fetish.

    Please show even the tiniest scrap of a quote or transcript that supports your attribution that Olbermann or the "left" is smearing McCain's unfortunate experiences in the [service.]

    >> The back pedal.....

    You people are completely high. You are literally incapable of reason.

    This is getting ridiculous, but please recognize that the three words provided by $ really do, in fact, say absolutley nothing about military service or POW experiences at all. Attributions in this regard are entirely your own - face it.

    slob, if you want to see McCain being smeared to no end, go check out kos, huffy puffy or any far left blog for that matter. Do they fall into the "anyone on the left" category you called it?

    Christ, but you people can't hold on to a thought for five seconds. Sure he gets smeared all over - and he deserves it - but no one here can cough up a single example of any lefty pulling the old "McChurian Candidate" angle on Johnny's time in Hanoi. The POW smear belongs entirely to the right wing. Face it. Own it. Deal with it.

    > The POW smear belongs entirely to the right wing. Face it. Own it. Deal with it.

    Well, SLoB, you've been caught in another lie:

    http://tinyurl.com/2e9mrd

    From DU to Olbermann's teleprompter. The smear machine's echo chamber.

    Actually, McCain's mental health is a perfectly valid question. He s widely known to have a terrible, crippling temper and a filthy mouth. He is set off very, very easy. This is well known even by his goose-stepping colleagues. Just ask Cornyn. I question whether McCain is mentally fit to be president.

    > Actually, McCain's mental health is a perfectly valid question

    Why, because you say so? Has he had to undergo psychological treatment, like Olbermann has? What do you base this on, a temper? Then you think B.J. Clinton has mental problems because his face turns red and he has a temper and wags his finger at people who ask inconveient questions? What's more I don't believe McCain has ever thrown a lamp at anyone.

    Even IF you had anything to go on (and you don't--there's more reason to doubt the mental stability of Keith Olbermann than that of McCain)...but even if you did, is your idea of journalism having a "newscaster" and a parade of sycophantic parrots throw out stuff like he's delusional, he's lost touch with reality, he's losing his mind? Is THAT what you defend as journalism? No doubt about it, you ARE an Olbypologist.

    "I fully believe that McCain is nuts; but this condition has everything to do with the cognitive dissonance of being a "conservative" in America today, and simple advanced age, and essentially nothing to do with his particular military servce."

    SLOB, where do you get this stuff? You're saying because he's 71 then he must be going crazy? OK, that's scientific. As for cognitive dissonance, I think you've got the wrong end of the political spectrum. Think about it. The term "rich liberal" should be an oxymoron. I think John McCain has amply demonstrated that he acts on his own beliefs and is seldom if ever conflicted. SLOB, I know you like to people to think you're all intelligent and whatnot, but tonight you just sound like an idiot. Are you sure you attended Smith College?

    Actually, McCain's mental health is a perfectly valid question. He s widely known to have a terrible, crippling temper and a filthy mouth.

    How many lamps in the white house has he thrown and broke? So what if he told someone to go f themselves. That particular person deserved it. Olbermann has said much worse. Where were you then? Silent. Or worse, probably defending him.

    slob, if you want to see McCain being smeared to no end, go check out kos, huffy puffy or any far left blog for that matter. Do they fall into the "anyone on the left" category you called it?

    Christ, but you people can't hold on to a thought for five seconds. Sure he gets smeared all over - and he deserves it

    Johnny, you are playing true to form.

    My saying that questions about McCain's mental health are valid and ought to be asked has nothing, nothing to do with the mental health or lack thereof of anyone else.

    I don't think Olbermann is an example of mental health. I don't think O'Reilly is, either. To be sure, Clinton has a terrible temper. So? What does that have to do with McCain? Is Olbermann running for president? Is, God forbid, O'Reilly? Is (Bill) Clinton, for that matter?

    I am not one of your dense groupies, Johnny. I am not Cecelia, Cee, Jeff/Royal King/Olby Sucks, Sharon. I am not going to nod my head in agreement with every utterance you make (although I do often agree with you). You come back with some irrational diversion, like you just did, you'll get called on it.

    Did I prove that McCain is mentally ill? No. My point was the question ought to be raised. Your throw the kitchen sink at it diversion seems to prove my point.

    What questions would you have for obama? Just curious.

    How about, why does Obama attend a church run by an Anti-Semite?

    So 99 Righties get together to tell each other that they got everything straight and the rest of the world is crazy, and 1 Lefty tries to get uppety with his self-righteous, blind logic. Way to stereotype and characterize, guys. Some real important issues getting solved in this forum. Good thing SLOB is here--I think circle-jerking would get old after a while, wouldn't it?

    More attacks on Hillary tonight
    Calling her a hypocrite, Claiming Hillary really lost Texas, Hillary should be out of the race, and Hillary is changing her story.

    Then bringing up the red phone commercial once again, the one about national security that Keith calls fear mongering.

    Obama criticized Hillary for saying she has more experience and Keith made fun of her for it, yet Obama said on Countdown "I'm the upstart, Hillary is the established candidate"

    Did Keith miss what Obama said? I real journalist wouldn't have let that one pass.

    So two Military men, that are democrats question McCain's temper, jee what a shocker.

    Keith's guest said McCain really looses himself, looses his mind to the point he shouldn't be president.
    Then Keith hinted that McCain will go to war with Iran and McCain is irrational.

    Go to war with Iran? On proof does Keith have? None

    McCain has been in politics since 1982, if he is has explosive has Keith says he is, we would have seen it by now.
    We shouldn't be surprised when a politician is rude with a reporter, we see it all the time.
    it doesn't mean the man is irrational and shouldn't be president.

    Keith complained about Bill O'Reilly's 3 segment about the Huffinton post, this is the same man who has been mentioning Hillary's commercial for the last 4 days and counting.

    All of you Obama supporters who are saying that John McCain is mentally ill are really sad and pathetic. You are the same people who lashed out at the "swift boating" of John Kerry, yet you have no problem throwing mud at John McCain. The politics of hope? Yeah right.

    1. I fully believe that McCain is nuts; but this condition has everything to do with the cognitive dissonance of being a "conservative" in America today, and simple advanced age,..."

    I would apply the cognitive dissonance theory to those who believe that 9/11 was an inside job. As for becoming certifiably nuts at the age of 70, I would have thought someone name-jacked here if all the other telltale signs were not so visible.

    Reading the above about McCain's "mental instabililty" is so Progressive/Socialist in its propaganda. The guy has been a Senator for what, like 25 years? His "mental state" wasn't an issue until he got the nomination.Before this, he was known as a Senator who could reach across the aisle to get legislation passed. I don't think Hillary will be reaching anywhere, and Fauxbama has no record to judge from. Questioning McCain's mental stability is pretty much propaganda and logic from the anti-universe(other wise known as OlbyWorld). With the economy going through a natural cycle(what comes up, must come down) everyone knows that either Clinton or Obama will destroy the economy with their "plans". Socialist income redistribution and pork spending during a natural downturn will throw us into a DEPRESSION during the economic correction. McCain says he doesn't know much about economics, but that said, even he knows the cycle has to run its course to re-align itself for further growth. As for McCain's temper, he's passionate, reminds me of Teddy Roosevelt(Bull Moose). TR got things done, to me the greatest thing being setting up the National Park system. The guy gave a speech with a bullet in his chest. I see McCain as a guy cut from the same cloth. The cloth on the other side is an empty suit and an empty pantsuit...I say McCain has already won, but the Democratic convention will be a beautiful thing to behold. The Orange Oracle will be leaving one hell of an orange ring in the bathtub for the next 9 months. Karma's a bitch................

    TR left the GOP because his truculence against corporate rule in America made him a pariah in his own mercenary party. He instituted harsh estate taxes and anti-monopoly/anti-corporate legislation that only recently have been eroded by the right wing through their self-serving fantasies of "free trade".

    Teddy was a strong progressive with fierce democratic principles; McCain is a bitch for lobbyists. Where are the similiarities?

    Boy you are the dumbest ass of all. Your two candidates are bought and paid for by the biggest 3 banks/Mortgage companies in the world. And why do you ask. Because Hillary and Obamanation have both threatened "new" regulation of the mortgage industry. And who will the let write those regulations? Why Goldman Sachs, Citibank, and Merrill Lynch. What will those regulations do? Eliminate free market competition. Your two candidates have no problem with big business, as long as they play the game. It is small business the Democrats hate. You’re voting for two National Socialist or fascist.

    He's already called McCain delusional. Tonight he added irrational, and permitted his guest to say McCain is losing his mind without speaking one contrary word.

    I know that's three quotes, and you only asked for one. But if you can't see what Keithy is up to, then you just might be an Olbypologist.

    So you can't be delusional and irrational and NOT have it be due to being a POW?

    Exhibit A:
    Jeff/royal king/OlbySUCKS.

    I'm pretty sure he didn't do any time as a POW, and he is absolutely fucking nuts.

    Stating that the only reason Olbermann could call McCain delusional is because of his POW time like its a fact is wrong.
    You might just be a Foxpologist.

    but done that way, opens up much criticism for the process. And by getting the most votes in the big states Hillary will have a valid argument at the end.
    If Hillary wins most of the remaining states and if Illinois and FLA get to vote again this will be one big mess at the end, so lets not give it to Obama yet.

    And Oblermann's argument was since Hillary lost Texas then she should drop out, if he was impartial he wouldn't be suggesting that.

    Thirdly, your back pedals remind of your fav 'news' guy. To quote him, you were doing nothing more than "moving the goal posts" with each of your posts in response to J$.

    ...and don't forget the insurance industry, which has recieved copious promises of irrational mercantilist support from both of the Democratic candidates.

    If Hillary wins the nomination I am a hard-core Nader supporter; I honestly can't percieve much of difference between she and McCain in regard to self-interest and willingness to sell their principles down the river for political leverage.

    If Its Obama I will act like a Nader supporer, along with many others who hope to pull this promising candidate (Obama) to the left, but will in all likelihood end up voting for Obama.

    Let's review Keith's list of regular guests:

    David "Slippery" Shuster was recently suspended and placed on (MS)NBC double-secret probation.

    Dana "he (McCain) can always use that cancer thing" Milbank

    National Security Expert/Moonbat In Chief Rachel "Err America" Maddow

    Keith's legal expert? Disbarred attorney and convicted felon John Dean, of course.

    WASHINGTON - President Bush said Saturday he vetoed legislation that would ban the CIA from using harsh interrogation methods such as waterboarding to break suspected terrorists because it would end practices that have prevented attacks.

    \"The bill Congress sent me would take away one of the most valuable tools [TORTURE] in the war on terror,\" Bush said in his weekly radio address taped for broadcast Saturday. \"So today I vetoed it,\" Bush said. The bill provides guidelines for intelligence activities for the year and includes the interrogation requirement. It passed the House in December and the Senate last month.

    \"This is no time for Congress to abandon practices [TORTURE] that have a proven track record of keeping America safe,\" the president said.

    Angry Boeing Supporters Target McCain
    Mar 8, 9:44 AM

    By MATTHEW DALY
    WASHINGTON (AP) - Angry Boeing supporters are vowing revenge against Republican presidential candidate John McCain over Chicago-based Boeing's loss of a $35 billion Air Force tanker contract to the parent company of European plane maker Airbus.

    But Boeing supporters in Congress are directing their wrath at McCain, the Arizona senator and nominee in waiting, for scuttling an earlier deal that would have let Boeing build the next generation of Air Force refueling tankers. Boeing now will miss out on a deal that it says would have supported 44,000 new and existing jobs at the company and suppliers in 40 states.

    >Fun fact: during the segment on superdelegates, did you hear Keith call the analyst guy (sorry, forgot his name) the “designated driver”? Well, one of the articles in your blog round-up thingy used the same phrase and said Keith and Matthews were getting tipsy off of exit polls.
    Hee. He quoted somebody’s analysis of their election night coverage.

    They also worry that speaking for them and speaking truth to power is a heavy weight on their leader:

    >What is amazing in story after story in every comment section, there are always many that say, “I hope Keith covers this” I know I say that here all the time. But even though it is a credit to Keith that we count on him, I sometimes wonder if he feels the weight of us. Does it bother him to have the “burden” of being the only one (or one of the few) to report the truth and expose these lies?

    The problem with Maddow is, she'll just be another bomb throwing liberal like Keith.
    They won't attract a new audience, they'll just be preaching to the converted.
    If Obama get elected and since we have a Democratic congress, who will Keith attack for half of his show?

Hardly anyone speaks a word of English here and I can't learn French to save my damn life. I have tried. What I wanted to say was that the French had elctions here on Sunday when they should of been in church as if they ever are. I wasn't either but it would have been in Frenc so why? Anyway, these were the local elections for what they call the mairies, but the socilaists gotthe most votes because Sarkozy can't keep his pecer in his pants just like Guiliani and Thompson and Mc Cain. So get use to it folks. Voters are tired of mn who can't keep their peckers in their pants so Mc Cain is going to loose.
