This is your recappers thread for Wednesday's Hour of Spin, with a special bonus feature. Hat-tip to johnny dollar's place for this revealing look at A-Mess-NBC:
Where they hell do Matthews and Mr. Maddow get off chiding their mindless brown shits for booing Bush. Hate and division is what they have been selling for the past 8 years. Does it look too ugly when they see it? At least the soulless Keith Olbermann is true to form. He revels in the hate and ignorance he foments.
Tonights segment with the "NSA whistleblower" might go down as the worst segment in the history of television. I swear to you his producers just tapped some guy on the street and said " how'd you like to be a guest tonight". That guys story wasn't even in the ballpark of a "scandal" that olby wanted it to be. Maybe he'll stop letting Kos do the pre-interview. That was embarrassing, even by Olbs standards.
Olbermann demonstrates a lack of knowledge about the constitution tonight in WPITW:
Olby chides Chris Wallace as Worst for suggesting Obama might not be the president because of the fumbled oath, which prompted Obama and Roberts to do it again today.
First, Olby says Roberts precipitated the fumbled oath, though Obama started the chain by interrupting the Chief Justice.
Then Obama reads the part from the 20th amendment about Obama becoming president at noon no matter what. He then preceeds to rip Wallace for having the mind of a child or whatnot.
From Article 2 Section 1:
Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation:--"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
So Obama may have been president, without dispute, but he lacked the power to execute the powers of the office until he properly recited the oath, which I think is what Wallace was getting at.
Blue-blog source on that is obviously Media Matters, which I went to first without even Googling it:

So KO thinks Republicans are impeding Obama "Despite Obama's call for unity"?
So, Olbermann thinks the Republicans shouldn't oppose policies and personnel put forth by the opposition party's president because said president asked them not to?
Wow, that will revolutionize politics in this country, won't it?
KO didn't waste any time in the Obama era attacking Bill O'Reilly, naming him Worse.
Olby uses his little parody voice to chide Billo for claiming John Mancini was fired as editor of Newsday for saying O'Reilly promoted violence because his book was found in a killer's house. KO then says the dispute with Newsday had nothing to do with Billo, but with coverage of a basketball team owned by Newsday's owners, and that Mancini was back on the job.
One possible Blue-Blog source: http://www.newshounds.us/2009/01/21/bill_oreilly_isnt_a_hate_monger.php
Except O'Reilly just reported Mancini was fired. He then used the incident about O'Reilly's book as an example of how rotten a journalist Mancini is. O'Reilly didn't claim Mancini was fired for saying that about O'Reilly. The point of O'Reilly's segment was that he had this problem in the past and was glad to see Mancini go. Even though Mancini is apparently back on the job.
But still, a blatant distortion from KO that he can only get away with by reading the transcript.
I think that Wallace's point was that fringe groups would use the Obama flub to sue in court to claim that he is not really president.
Oh, and Worser was some airline for sending a woman to jail for 3 months for fighting with her kids on a flight. Whatever.
So Olby reports on Obama's priorities, and then makes his own perfectly clear.
He isn't going to let Bush go. He's going to beat the dead horse that Bush and Co. need to be prosecuted and thrown in jail. This is going to be his mantra now, isn't it?
Good luck with that, Keith
I was going to mention the Wallace thing, but I got sucked into Hannity's show. He's too conservative for me personally, but Sean has one hell of program. Also his Great American panal is probably one of the most entertaining things on Prime Time Cable News. But back to Wallace.
I laughed hard at this cause it's obvious Olby's bubble is not only getting smaller, but it's sound proof as well. Wallace brought this up cause people were making news out of this. THE KEY WORD BEING NEWS. And it wasn't "evil republicans" or the cult of Fox Noise that surfaced this.
It was in fact Constitutional Schollers who brought it up that Obama might want to retake the oath just to be on the safe side so any doubts of the folly could be washed away. Now I know Olby loves to googleâ„¢ the constitution and sound like the know it all to justify his high salary.
But his ego isn't that powerful. If I had a choice between a scholler telling me I might want to retake the oath or a former failed sportcaster saying you shouldn't have to it's not important WHO WOULD YOU BELIEVE!!
Kuddo's to Obama for being on the safe side.
"Did U.S. Spy on Journalists?" Olby asks in his little graphic.
I ask, "Were they doing anything wrong?"
Olby manages to get through an 11-minute "exclusive" interview about warrantless wiretaps with an NSA analyst who barely knows Jack Shit (or his cousin, Jack Squat) without ever mentioning that the FISA court declared the wiretaps legal.
I wonder if KO knows that his "exclusive" made the rounds in 2006.
Or that according to some reports Tice is a loon who used his position to spy on co-workers:
http://rightwingnuthouse.com/archives/2006/01/05/the-strange-case-of-russ-tice/
Good "exclusive" there, Keith.
Douchebag
Knowing why Tice was dismissed from the NSA sure does shed some light on his comments to Keith about how the Obama administration wants nothing to do with him, doesn't it?
Hyperbole Alert!
KO's tease to #3, the exclusive NSA whistle-with-a-mouth-full-of-crackers-blower interview laying out details of the Bush Administration's warrantless-wiretapping program:
"Details that will make the most cynical viewer blanch in disbelief. What ever you thought, whatever you knew, whatever you feared, it was all much worse."
Sounds like an introduction to a LoBloKO sex tape.
lol watching the NSA thing now, this is is just sad, but equally funny lol
As usual, Keith's " exclusive" had all the substance of a fart in a windstorm. What a complete tool.
They're "surprised" by Bush-booing... but wait
NBC is the network of hate
Pimped-out like a ho
Reap what they sow
Call it destiny, karma, or fate
Gobbels-Olbermann must've forgot that his Master, Obama, supports FISA. Remember that he voted for the lastest version of it. Will KO name himself WPITW for making his Fuhrer look like a "far-right wing extremist?"
I hope Gobbels-Olbermann can convince the rest of the lefty-loons to prosecute President Bush. It'll benefit our side in numerous ways:
- it'll unite the Republicans (who have recently disappeared;)
- it'll allow America to see how far left the Democratic party has gotten;
- it'll allow America to see that President Bush protected America from further attacks;
- it'll boost President Bush's popularity.
So come on you left-wing extremist, start calling your representatives and get them to start those congressional hearings.

So come on you left-wing extremist, start calling your representatives and get them to start those congressional hearings.
Outside of your first observation SB I see the last 3 totally different.
American conservatives ALREADY know how far left the Democratic party is so this will add nothing and hurt the country. When the hearings are over and Bush is vindicated the lefty loons will just chant that the fix was in and it'll solve nothing.
As far as the attacks Buch obviously prevented, again the loons will only say that he had nothing to do with it.
As for your last point, it will only make the liberals hate him more, because they'll come up with equating it to Simpson getting away with murder or something along those lines.
Let's face it, and I see it coming, the next 4 years will be all about how wonderful obama is from the left (whether he's the worst or best president we ever had) and the Bush attacks will only get worse, because if there's an even slight chance that they see obama slipping, it will be because of Bush.
The ONLY thing we can hope for is that obama truly IS the next "messiah" and follows along the same footsteps as Bush did, but so far I haven't felt any tingling up my leg except maybe because of the frigid cold that's causing it.
Wolverine, you're right, Conservatives already know how far left the Dem party is, but I don't think most Americans see that (even Obama disguised himself as moderate.
My thinking is that the MSM has dictated the message regarding President Bush. If Bush were in front of a Congressional panel, America would be glued to their TV's and Bush could go over the MSM's head with his message to America.
Also, Americans would be so pissed off at the Dem congress, that they'd be thrown out in the mid-term elections, thus stopping Obama's socialist agenda.
Finally, you're probably right, this whole thing would hurt the country, but the Dems could care less (their BDS is more powerful than their love of country.)
Personally, i'd rather have the whole idea be scrubbed, but since the loons are talking about it, I'm just giving my opinion.
I would hope that you're right SB, but after seeing the horrible disrespect shown the former president at the inaugeration by the same people who were claiming the whole country is now united, I find it hard to believe that the liberals will ever think about the country first.
99% on olbermann watch are conservatives, and outside of a few I see everybody saying lets give the new president a chance (I am one of them), but the liberals because of their hatred for their own country will never accept any counterpoint to what their president does, no matter how dangerous it may be to their country.
From the get go president Bush was looked at as the enemy by the left, and any sound decisions he made were attacked viciously. There was a general feeling of hate coming from the left the second president Bush was inaugerated, and the irony of it all is that they said it was their *right* to question his decisons as good Americans, but the thought of having the same thing done to obama from the right is being deemed as either racist or un-American even BEFORE they've heard any critisisms.
A very dangerous precedent is being set here (since obama will not be allowed to be checked on his policies), which is more the reason why I hope and pray he does do the right thing for this country, because if he doesn't, and there's no voice allowed to stop him what in the hell will that mean for America?
As sick as I was from seeing the disgusting displays of kneeling down before the "messiah" at the inaugeration, it only made me feel sad for our country, but not for the man. Obama may never have known to what degree his followers would lower themselves for him, but he is not at fault because of it.
My wife's (who is a teacher) and whole school was ordered to watch and TAPE from beginning to end in their classrooms the whole process of his inaugeration, so that they could play it back from time to time so it would remain fresh on the students minds. When a fellow teacher questioned this she was attacked as if she had said that Jesus was a nazi.
No, I can't blame obama for all this, but it sure says alot about just how clueless the rest of the country is about the swearing in of a new president. At least to how liberal and extreme the left has become.
Hopefully you're right SB. If the dems are anti-American enough to try and bring Bush up on fake charges, maybe the moderates will see what the rest of us have known all along.
