Olbermoron set up the #4 segment in his train wreck as follows: "It's all fun and games until somebody ends up apologizing for somebody else." He was talking about something regarding Rush Limbaugh and Charlie Crist, but isn't "apologizing for somebody else" exactly what Olby did for Shuster's "pimping" remark? "We are literally, dreadfully sorry."
Wow. How classy is the WTF Moment.
The fact that Old McFatAss has a cable news show is in itself a WTF moment that should have ended long ago.
So the WTF Moment was essentially a special comment. What a dork.
While promoting the Worst TV program ever survey on BillOReilly.com, Bill noted "not a political program." So, "Countdown" is officially out of the equation.
To be more specific, Bill said "not a political program; entertainment only."
I'm watching Carrie Prejean on "Hannity" (on DVR delay, mind you). As soon as FOXNews.com posts the interview, I'll link to it here.
Both parts are up. So, here are Part 1 and Part 2. I recommend them for everyone here.
The WTF Moment was as lame and illogical and as wrong-headed as the previous day's Winston Churchil segment. Keithee's losing what creds he had with his loyal viewers. I predict such segments as these two lower his ratings further.
If Katy Tur lets that sweaty smelly pig Olbermann climb all over her, she earned her spot on the weather channel. She is proably begging a cyclone to hit her.
Olby trashes the beauty queen
Misogynist out to demean
An intolerant sleaze
Even Barry agrees
Keith's comments were hateful and mean
Is Nancy Pelosi lying?
The US troops would be trying
To waterboard Nancy
Nothing fancy
Just the truth is what they're implying
#5A: Cheney! Torture! [Ding!] Howard Fineman.
#5B: A blue-dress interview with Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (progressive D-RI). Time to update The List. Keith and his congressional pal previewed the start of the Hate Bush hearings. I hope they don't achieve their goal of permanently marginalizing, and killing, the Republican party. That must not happen.
#4: Gov. Crist (R-FL) is running for Senate next year. Geno Robinson showed up for the second day in a row. Look out, Ryan Zimmerman (hitting streak).
Oddball, BPitW: Who cares?
#3: Repairing the Hubble telescope. A Franklin Institute astronomer ruined his career by appearing on the Hour of Spin.
#2: The Media Matters Minute. Worse was The Philadelphia Inquirer. Blue blog source: Think Propaganda. John Yoo's a columnist! Oh, my God!
Worser was Eric Bolling. Fox Out Of Business Channel! [Ding!] Blue blog source: Jason Linkins at HuffPo. This happened in Friday's Street Meat segment on "Happy Hour" on FBN, a channel that Olby's friends at Cablevision refuse to add. But on OlbyPlanet, it isn't news until a blue blog reports it. Eric and FBN are "...hypocrites? [Ding!]."
Worst was Greta Van Susteren. Blue blog source: Media Matters. Jamison Foser brought up Bill O'Reilly in that piece. Aha! I'm goin' with this, the Olbsessor must have thought. And voila!, Another O'Reilly Attack. Stalks! [Ding!] Keith ran a montage of Jesse Watters and Griff Jenkins ambushing people. The ambushees were Judge J. Roberts Padgett (sticking up for judges that give light sentences to sex offenders, Keith?), Jeff Immelt (duh, have to include him), an unidentified judge (likely for the same reason as Padgett, if I remember correctly), Rep. Robert Wexler (living in Maryland while claiming residency at his parents' house in Delray Beach; he since bought an apartment in the area), Dan Frazier (some guy selling an anti-war t-shirt, he must be included), the Selectmen of Great Barrington, Massachusetts (no mentioning of Merry Christmas at the time [2007]), Bill Lippert (passed a transgender bill, but not Jessica's Law; but he's gay, so you can't ambush him), The Ultimate Victim Amanda Terkel, Sir Russell Tice, former NBC News Military Analyst William Arkin ("...a mercenary--oops, sorry, volunteer--force"), Helayne Jones (Boulder, CO, school board president; had assembly at Boulder High where students were encouraged to have sex and use drugs), back to Padgett getting into his car, and Michael Dowd (district judge in Kansas; light sentence for a pedophile).
Wow. It looks like they all had it coming. Again, we at OlbyWatch ask why didn't you have a problem when people like Mike Wallace, Arnold Diaz, and other investigative reporters ambushed people? For God's sake, they're not the freaking paparazzi! Oh, that's right, facts don't matter on OlbyPlanet. It only matters that the eeevil O'Reilly and his stalker producers [Ding!] stalk [Ding!] innocent people; those poor people that are all supposed liberals or progressives. Yeah, that's the ticket, that's why he went after those people: he disagrees with them politically! It's politics! "The Factor" is not an ideological show, period. "Hannity" is an ideological show.
Keith's closing salvo was as follows: "Rules? There are no rules here, Greta. Your employer saw to that. (without bombast and with grumbling anger): Greta Van Susteren, today's Worst Person in the World."
#1: WTF Moment. A disguised Special Education Komment intended to tear into Carrie Prejean. I won't waste my time watching it. I'm just going by what Irush, Philly, and Qpublic have said above me.
As I said earlier, I highly recommend Sean's interview with Prejean. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go watch Greta interview Miss California Teen USA. I've had my DVR paused on it for a half hour while I recap. God, I'm so worn out...as usual.
#3 "Trouble With Hubble"
Ultra-excessively oversensationalized piece of shit segment.
Derrick Pitts tried to be professional and informative while Assholebermann kept interruptively declaring impending DOOM for the shuttle, the astronauts, the mission, and the space program
KO repeatedly proposing disasterous senarios to Pitts, who by the end pretty much blew him off, was strangely reminiscent of most of his political drivel. ANYWAY..............
WTF?
Shouldn't the WTF segment be about Obama and his, "holier than thou know it all-ism."
He also said right in the beginning, "one thing that all science can agree on is there are many that are wrong on the gay marriage issue..." Which I have to respond....WTF!?
Funny stuff Katy. You're the best!
That's an insult to science, Keith.
CountDung, Olbermienkamph believes that Obama has "holier than thou know it all-ism."
Tonight in Miller Time, Dennis referred to Perez Hilton as Concepcion Ramada. Excellent. The rest of the segment was good, too.
MSNBC is going down..the great liberal expiement has failed...the harsh vindictive nature not just of KO but all of them..Keith.Madcow, Ed, Robin..the only that has a little bit of crediblity is Chrissy. Even thoughthe is a totaly dumbass, he is not as nearly mean and nasty at the other ones. I actually feel sorry for chrissy because he has to call this frauds as collegues.
I had this in the back of my mind while watch Ko and the night after night ? " why do the Conservative treat the RINO so BAD!"
I wish someone would ask KO what about Joe Libermann in '06? He is not even a Mod except on WOT, but yet they kicked him out of the party and made him run as independent, and it was Republicans that actually got him re-elected.
A couple weeks ago KO made SenNelson from NB as one of his WPINTW ..for i cant recall. Madcow tried to take him down, and use the term "Conservativecrats" or something like that..
I'm sure there are tons of more examples, so are the Repubicans the only ones that get yelled at for getting rid of their RINO problem?
I know this is just another example of the insanity of the left ..and I'm sure most of you have th ought the same thing..(=
They dont want the DINO's in th eir party like we don't want the RINO's in our party!
I don't know if anyone posted this yet here, but apparently the aforementioned Robin R. Shyster took a page from Bathman and went after O'Reilly. As reported by Jeff Poor at NewsBusters, Shuster, while filling in on "Hardball" yesterday (Tuesday), took Bill to task over reductio ad absurdum line from Monday night's Culture Warriors segment.
Jeff writes the following:
"As if showing his true colors and how he really felt about Miss California, Carrie Prejean being allowed to keep her crown on air and on Twitter multiple times weren't enough, MSNBC's David Shuster wanted to go for the hat-trick by going after Fox News anchor Bill O'Reilly.
Shuster, filling in for anchor Chris Matthews on the MSNBC's May 12 broadcast of "Hardball" took aim at "The O'Reilly Factor" host for his opposition of same-sex marriage.
"Next stop, Fox News' Bill O'Reilly - who was at it again last night gripping his usual five-alarm bell over gay marriage," Shuster said.
Shuster, off a story from his usual array of left-wing storefronts he uses as sources, played a clip from the May 11 "The O'Reilly Factor," which O'Reilly warned of the slippery slope that might be created if same-sex marriage were legalized. O'Reilly asked his guest Margaret Hoover if that could lead to marrying a turtle if one wanted to.
Shuster's conclusion from O'Reilly's questions - he hates gay and lesbians or his mental health is in question.
"Marry a turtle? That argument is so ridiculous, so illogical and so stupid one can only presume Bill O'Reilly really hates gay and lesbians and doesn't want to talk about it or his cognitive reasoning skills have hit cuckooland, if you know what I mean.""
Ouch. Got any facts to back that up, or do you just know because you're David Shuster, supergenius? Earlier in the show, Bill had on Meghan Daum, a feminist and columnist for the Los Angeles Times, and Cathy Renna, the former spokesperson for GLAAD who now runs a communications firm that focuses on LGBT issues. In addition, people like Wayne Besen and Jasmyne Cannick have appeared more than once on "The Factor." Robust debate is what the show is all about. All sides are heard and given equal time.
I think we all know how the show works, but I wanted to explain again anyway.
Correction: specializes in, not focuses on.
I'm listening to the Gibson clip again. I love that "taking a BATH!" cut.
A segment called "WTF". That is the best he can do? How does this fraud call himself a journalist? What an insult to real journalist across the world.
Olby goes off on his little "I'm smarter than you" rant against a woman because she expressed her opinion and personal beliefs. She didn't condemn gay marriage, she only stated her religious beliefs and believes marriage should be between a man and a woman. That's it. She did not make any homophobic remarks or say all gays should burn in hell. And what does she get for it...for exercising her freedom of speech...a tirade from a left wing lunatic on a major news network not once, not twice but THREE TIMES. From a "man" who is a giant pervert that dates women 25 years younger than him. From a "man" that sits there and giggles when that sub human Garofalo calls thousands of Americans "redneck racists". From a "man" who sits there and laughs while Musto calls her a Nazi barbie doll, a homophobic man and a "babe" who needs a brain implant.
Does this "man" have a soul? How can he even look at himself in the mirror every night? I just cannot understand how a person can have that much hate in their heart. I only hope we find out later that he had a chemical imbalance or brain defect because a normal human being, with the slightest bit of compassion or human understanding, would never think these thoughts let alone air them every night to thousands of viewers.
I truly feel sorry for him...I really do. Something is seriously wrong with him and I hope something happens in his life to see the error of his ways...but I'm not holding my breath.
Also, I find it amusing that gays and secular fascists hold a beauty contest winner to a higher standard than Obama. And why didn't Olby mention that Obama holds the same views as Miss California???? Hypocrisy (again) at its finest.
Muted mongrel last night on the church of SNOBamessiah revival hour.....
"Social Security and Medicare are fading even faster under the weight of the recession, heading for insolvency years sooner than previously expected, the government warned Tuesday. Social Security will start paying out more in benefits than it collects in taxes in 2016, a year sooner than projected last year, and the giant trust fund will be depleted by 2037, four years sooner, trustees reported.
"The trust funds — which exist in paper form in a filing cabinet in Parkersburg, W.Va. — are bonds that are backed by the government’s 'full faith and credit' but not by any actual assets. That money has been spent over the years to fund other parts of government. To redeem the trust fund bonds, the government would have to borrow in public debt markets or raise taxes."
Mmmm, I wonder why such an important story was not covered by the "journalist," Keith Olbermann. Theories?
Senator Harry Reid in 2005: "Today's report confirms that the so-called Social Security crisis exists in only one place — the minds of Republicans. In reality, the program is on solid ground for decades to come."
Keith Olbermann, April 8, 2009: "The bronze to the ever brilliant Gretchen Carlson of Fixed News; said this morning, 'Social Security is already bankrupt.' Close. Its board of trustees reports that without any increased revenue stream, Social Security will be able to pay full benefits through the year 2041, and three quarters benefits through the year 2082. So Gretchen‘s only off by 73 years, which is damn good for her."
Good Keith...inform your audience with Democrat Party misinformation and when the truth is available, ignore it.
I really wonder how NBC NEWS can tolerate such lies and errors.
With Obama's unrestricted spending these past couple of months, the ability of the US government to be able to stand behind the promise to pay out those Social Security payments is even in more jeopardy. Obama has allowed the deficit to skyrocket multiple times more than any Republican ever did and will have to face having to break his promise to not raise taxes on people making less than $250K sooner than he thinks....And if it happens prior to the 2012 election, look out.
All of this in addition to some trial balloons about taxes on certain foods to pay for the huge healthcare entitlement.....It seems promises are not meant to be kept for Obama.
Social Security, the Obama deficit, Medicare going broke, a huge healthcare entitlement, more federal spending in general, and more people not paying taxes.....The future?...look out for HUGE federal tax increases along with bad debt and the ill effects all that will have on our economy (stagflation).
VERO POSSUMUS!
Poor, poor Olbermann....The Pelosi defense continues, using other Democrats, who could also have personal political reasons for their recollections that are in contradiction of CIA memos, AND he tries to use Cheney's honest answer about not knowing what specifics were given to Democrat leaders regarding EIT's as further "proof" she was not informed....Sure. All the while Olbermann ignores Pelosi's new accoutning of events as she tries to wiggle out of her initial lies a couple of weeks ago.
Also, polls show that a majority of Americans support EIT's used against the terrorists, so Fineman's and Olbermann's conclusion that defending those techniques is a political "loser," is misinformed. Obama is also starting to reconsider releasing the photos he previously said he would release.....Neither man mentioned that fact in their echo chamber.....
http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2009/05/liz-cheney-assa.html
###
Also, I did not notice any Olbermann coverage of Liz Cheney's excellent debate wins, even against COUNTDOWN fav, Eugene Robinson. I suppose this was because there are no old popularity polls that show Americans do not like Ms. Cheney even though she is presenting the very same arguments as her father.
Dick Cheney's unpopularity is a strawman and the substance of his arguments remain unchallenged. The memos he has requested be made public remain hidden by Obama and his spin machine and the "truth seekers" seem ok with that lack of transparency. The hypocrisy and intellectual dishonesty is astounding.
Pelosi's lying a couple of weeks ago about not knowing about the specifics and use of EIT's is laughable, yet Olbermann continues to try to defend her. Where, oh where are the left's defenders?
New developments today about Pelosi's lies....
Source: Aide told Pelosi waterboarding had been used
"A source close to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi now confirms that Pelosi was told in February 2003 by her intelligence aide, Michael Sheehy, that waterboarding was actually used on CIA detainee Abu Zubaydah.
"This appears to contradict Pelosi's account that she was never told waterboarding actually happened, only that the administration was considering using it.
"Sheehy attended a briefing in which waterboarding was discussed in February 2003, with Rep. Jane Harman, D-California, who took over Pelosi's spot as the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee."
[...]
"Pelosi admits attending one briefing in September 2002, but at a news conference last month, she was adamant that she did not know waterboarding was used.
"'At that or any other briefing, and that was the only briefing that I was briefed on in that regard, we were not -- I repeat, we were not -- told that waterboarding or any of these other enhanced interrogation methods were used, ' Pelosi said on April 23.
"Some Republicans have called for Pelosi to testify at congressional hearings."

Keith Olbermann has some more spinning to do tonight to try to get his leftist ruling class out of this jam. I really would like to see this debate about EIT's continue...it takes oxygen out of the air for Obama's radical agenda, it continues to show the frank hypocrisy of the radical anti-America left, and finally it allows for more contrast between the current administrations priorities, (that place protecting our country from death and pain lower down on the list, even below personal political considerations), and that of past administrations who were successful in protecting us all....And as the wars continue, and if we are attacked again, this little debate will make an excellent mile stone to recall that difference. Cheney's argument that we are less safe may, tragically, be confirmed.
VERO POSSUMUS!
Darn. KO's Monday numbers were 1.15 million.
But unless I am mistaken, typically his numbers slide down each day as the week progresses. I guess a number of Libs tune in on Monday to see if anything about Countdown has changed for the better & when they realize it hasn't, they move on out.
What a stale show. My two week old loaf of bread sitting out on my kitchen counter is fresher than Countdown....hehe.
It's fun watching Shuster build his personna at MESSNBC. He's still serving as a daytime "Straight News Guy" in spite of the fact he has been doing a helluva job (with a lot of help from Twitter) building his venomous " Liberal Street Cred". Shuster and his ghastly rictus are undoubtably due for a big raise and a promotion.
I wonder if Keith Olbermann can name who said the following back in 2004?....
"And I'd like to interject a note of balance here. There are times when we all get in high dudgeon. We ought to be reasonable about this. I think there are probably very few people in this room or in America who would say that torture should never, ever be used, particularly if thousands of lives are at stake.
"Take the hypothetical: If we knew that there was a nuclear bomb hidden in an American city and we believed that some kind of torture, fairly severe maybe, would give us a chance of finding that bomb before it went off, my guess is most Americans and most senators, maybe all, would say, Do what you have to do.
"So it’s easy to sit back in the armchair and say that torture can never be used. But when you’re in the foxhole, it's a very different deal."
###
Any guesses?....Follow the link below to find out.....
http://hotair.com/archives/2009/05/13/audio-schumer-in-2004-on-enhanced-interrogation-techniques/
"Whether Schumer is right is a good topic for debate, but not the point at the moment. The point here is that the CIA and the Bush administration got much different feedback on Congressional expectations for securing the nation from another devastating terrorist attack as we remained in the foxhole. That mandate got reinforced in Congressional briefings on the EITs, where people like Nancy Pelosi not only never objected, but some of them asked whether the CIA was being tough enough on Abu Zubaydah, Ramzi Binalshibh, and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.
"If accountability is to be imposed, let it be imposed across the board, and let’s see all of the relevant information — not just the leaks from the White House and CIA that fit their agendas."
###
So reasonable Democrats exist, at least in the past.....Where are they now?....Oh, that's right....Obama and Olbermann have decided this is a partisan issue where Democrats are protected from the truth while Republicans are made to go to the gallows.
What a wonderful America the radical left has in store for us all!
VERO POSSUMUS!
The Democrats just keep on giving more to this debate AGAINST Keith Olbermann's position that the EIT issue is simply a Bush administration problem.....
"Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein, a Democrat, backed Pelosi.
"'I think it’s a tempest in a teapot really to say: Well, Speaker Pelosi should have known all of this, she should have stopped this, she should have done this or done that,' she said.
"'I don’t want to make an apology for anybody, but in 2002, it wasn’t 2006, 07, 08 or 09. It was right after 9/11, and there were in fact discussions about a second wave of attacks.'"

###
The partisanship is simply AMAZING! Now the "post 9/11" defense only applies to Dems?....I thought it was 2002, 06, 09 for ALL OF US...not just those wanting political advantage from important national security issues.
Maybe Obama is so omnipotent he can make it 2002 for some and not for others....The church of SNOBamessiah sure has some strange theology.
Where will Olbermann fall on this tonight?....Ignore, excuse, parse? Oh well, we shall see.
In a word, "pathetic."
I read a link to the Advocate talking about Keith's ode to "St. Carrie of La Jolla" [Carrie Prejean] last night.
Evidently, in that segment, Olbermann ranted to Prejean that her speech rights hadn't infringed upon, her ideas had merely been challenged.
Olbermann stated that she had no Constitutional right to the notion that she should never be accountable for her expressed ideas. That she should never have any "fallout" for her statements.
Well, how much fallout SHOULD one incur over the opinion that the nation should not redefine marriage to include same sex partners?
After all, this isn't a radical view. It has been the history of our country and the opinion of the past three Democratic and Republican presidential nominees, as well as the majority of the public.
If Prejean had said that her religious beliefs, instilled by her upbringing, made her fully against waterboarding high-level detainees, would Olbermann have thought the "fallout" of conservatives combing her background for dirt, calling her ugly names, and reviling her on tv, was just the sort of give-and-take that she should be expected for rendering up an opinion?
Imagine too, if Prejean had been asked her views on abortion by a religious fundamentalist judge, and then found herself the target of religious conservatives over her pro-life views.
Would the fallout from either of these scenarios just be part and parcel of the national discourse to Olbermann THEN?
Nah. If either thing had gone down, Keith Olbermann would then be in spasms of outrage and derision against Prejean's critics. He'd call them witch-hunters, speech squelcher, and extremists, and that's just for starters.
After all, this is St. Olbermann of the Daily Kos, that we're talking about here. And as THAT, this moron, couldn't play anything down the middle if his life and his liberty depended upon it.
Flippity, floppity...This EIT debate sure is getting interesting now that Obama is reversing himself on releasing THE TORTURE PICS!.....
"President Obama met with White House counsel Greg Craig and other members of the White House counsel team last week and told them that he had second thoughts about the decision to hand over photographs of detainee abuse to the ACLU, per a judge’s order, and had changed his mind.
"The president 'believes their release would endanger our troops,' a White House official says, adding that the president 'believes that the national security implications of such a release have not been fully presented to the court.'
"At the end of that meeting, the president directed Craig to object to the immediate release of the photos on those grounds. In an Oval Office meeting with Iraq Commander General Ray Odierno, the president told him of his decision to argue against the release of the photographs.
"The move is a complete 180. In a letter from the Justice Department to a federal judge on April 23, the Obama administration announced that the Pentagon would turn over 44 photographs showing detainee abuse of prisoners in Afghanistan and Iraq during the Bush administration."

I really think this will deserve a complete segment on COUNTDOWN tonight....perhaps even a SPECIAL COMMENT from the radical left's watercarrier, Keith Olbermann....complete with long stares, long pauses and spittle.
I really believe Obama wants the debate over torture to simply go away, like Reverand Wright, his support for infanticide, and so many other bad "issues" for him that the MSM simply said "bye-bye" to in the past. Hopefully, there will be another gaffe like scare-force-one to distract his posse but for now this torture stuff is important to som many!
"Transparency." What a broken promise....Not only do we not have all of the imprtant memos regarding EIT during the Bush Presidency, now the pictures that were to be used to bludgeon Republicans will have to be legally forced out by Obama supporters, the ACLU....They must be pissed.
Oh well...Monday morning quarterbacks like Olbermann, Pelosi and Obama are surely to step in it eventually. Let's wait for the spin tonight!
VERO POSSUMUS!
cee said "I really think this will deserve a complete segment on COUNTDOWN tonight....perhaps even a SPECIAL COMMENT from the radical left's watercarrier, Keith Olbermann....complete with long stares, long pauses and spittle."
Keithee has once already told Obama "Your wrong!". Maybe KO will get carried away and shout "RESIGN, SIR!!!" "oops sorry .... habit"
Tuesday's ratings are out. At 8:00, Keith was a distant second in total viewers and the 25-54 demo. He couldn't even break 300,000 in the demo or 1,000,000 in total. At 10:00, he came in third in those categories.
Rules? There are no rules, Keith. Your employer saw to that.
Oh, baby. Those numbers are sweet. And Madcow's numbers are even lower than her usual terrible 800K.
AMESSNBC INDEED!!
Where did the Liberals challenge Carrie Prejean's ideas? All I saw was bitter, merciless character attacks, some of the most vile of which came from Countdown.
The basic message Keith is putting forth is this: Disagree with us if you must, but doing so means we will destroy you without mercy, logic or tolerance ... the three factors we preach most to have.
She lost the Miss USA title due to a political belief. Then had to endure that idiot Perez Hilton running his mouth off. Remember the time when someone needed actual talent and competence to be broadcast, because the technology was limited and the few who had access had to pick and choose? Thanks a lot, Internet!
You nailed it, A47.
A correction to my recap on Tuesday: J. *Rogers* Padgett, not Roberts.
More tortured lies by The Speaker...drip, drip, drip....and yet some truth in her newest verison of the past....She admits that the issue was only political to her ALL ALONG.....
"Pelosi defended her own lack of action on the issue, saying her focus at the time was on wresting congressional control from Republicans so her party could change course.
"'No letter could change the policy. It was clear we had to change the leadership in Congress and in the White House. That was my job _ the Congress part,' Pelosi said."
http://blogs.abcnews.com/thenote/2009/05/pelosi-cia-lied.html
###
So, Ms. Pelosi did know about used EIT's being "torture" back in 2003 but opted to put her energies into changing politicians instead of stopping the torture....Wow, what a profile in courage!
The Democrat Party is lead by a bunch of cowards and liars. They were happy to have someone else perform the "torture," and perhaps even prosecute them for it now, YET they will deny they had knowledge of such things happening even as there is evidence to the contrary.
Pelosi is a fool and The President holds the ultimate responsibility for allowing the politicization of national security....He has tried to stop it with his flip-flop yesterday, but alas the toothpaste cannot be put back into the tube, Barack!
Aw, what a shame....what a sham. I knew he was not prepared to be Commander-in-Chief.
This is wonderful theater! I REEEEALLY want congressional "truth" hearings with Pelosi, Cheney, Tennet, Powell, Rice, Rummy, Reid and the rest testifying over these important issues! The press will give no attention to anything else and poor old Obama will have no voice to continue his propaganda....Come on now Republicans....get those hearings up and running!
We need ALL of the memos declassified and public....Promises of transparancy are yet to be kept! The Republicans will have to hold Obama to his word because it seems Pelosi et al just want more spin.
VERO POSSUMUS!
As I have always said on this board....I love Joe Lieberman.
Not only because the radical left hates him, but because he is a patriotic and good man.....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGKmTlgdMUo
###
Poor, poor Pelosi and Obama....picking fights with patriotic Americans trying to do their duty in protecting our nation from terrorism. See what happens when national security is politicized and run by a person not prepared to be CiC?
Olbermann's head must be spinning on how to cover this mess....I mean Obama flip-flops on releasing the torture photos, Pelosi continues to claim she knew nothing....wait, she knew something but not the truth because the CIA lied to her....and now Joe Lieberman, a Democrat, puts distance between himself and the anti-America radical left in regards to calling professionals in the CIA liars!
I think Olbermann should consider sticking to the following tonight on COUNTDOWM:
#1 Whining about Dick Cheney,
#2 Predict the end of The Republican Party,
#3 Dump on Limbaugh for the 1000th time this year (while showing the same clip of him hoping up and down egging on the CPAC audience, for the 2000th time),
#4 Display some more misogynistic hate towards Miss California
#5 Defend himself against a 97 year-old Republican who has a very insightful opinion.

This torture stuff is just becoming too much of a loser for the anti-America left.
"RESIGN!"
