Olbermann-ic
2008-05-20 04:07:00 Tonight a hypermanic Keith Olbermann waxed ponderous and condescending in a "Special Comment" to clarify last week's eye-glazing ponderous "Special Comment" on Bush and (surprise) Iraq, Iran, "appeasment," Obama et al. The #1 Story: Keith. It was to appease (or MSNBC forced Olbermann) the right-wing lugnuts in Tee Vee Land who Keith claims are too dumb and rabid to get when he referred to Bush and his henchmen as "cold blooded killers" he didn't mean (duh) our troops. Olbermann WatchOlbermann laid off O'Reilly tonight and instead targeted conservatives Ollie North, Bill Kristol, and "comedian" Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingraham and Mark Levin. Let's go to the videotape. Perhaps MSNBC brass ordered him to cool it on O'Reilly after the juicy anonymous-sourced speculation leaked by NBC piece to Howard Kurtz.

Obama Comes Back Tough and Eloquent Today on Bush/McCain
2008-05-17 02:25:00 Barack Obama came out swinging today in a South Dakotan town hall meeting and subsequent press conference - tough, eloquent, intelligent response to Bush and McCain's slurs about Democratic "appeasement".Among the highlights of what Obama said -.The Bush administration, supported by McCain, is responsible for the strengthening of Iran - a consequence of the U.S. destruction of Iran's enemy, Iraq, and on the basis of weapons of mass destruction which were never found..American Presidents ranging from Kennedy to Nixon to Reagan were unafraid to sit down and talk with our enemies, because they understood that talk is not at all the same as appeasement..Hamas was strengthened by the Bush administration's pushing of elections in the Palestinian territories before those places were ready. And - it was McCain, not Obama, who called for talks with Hamas several years ago, before McCain adopted the Bush agenda..Obama also made a good, clarifying statement about the Second Amendment: he s...

A Wash Post piece yesterday revealing Bush stopped playing golf in August 2003 "in solidarity" with the families of soldiers who were dying in Iraq, concluding that it was "just not worth it anymore" to play the sport in a time of war.Keith produced a smoking gun tape showing Bush golfing in October 2003. Olbermann also gleefully giggled about House Republicans' new slogan: "The Change You Deserve" noting it's the same slogan used by popular antidepressant Effexor. He whipped out the prescription's insert and reeled off the symptoms it treats. Keith's frequent talking head, Wash Post's annoying, prissy Dana Milbank, picked up the ball today. Sam The Sham ...

Your six-hundred dollar or so tax rebate check is on its way. Time to pay off the bogus internet charges on your cell phone bill. Time to finish decorating the trailer. Time to get that Fender Strat out of hock. Don’t spend it all in one pawn shop. Six big ones will keep us in our overleveraged homes for weeks and our kids in college for days. It may even cover a lab fee or two, which will come in handy when you and Junior open that crystal meth factory you’ve been dreaming about.

President George Bush Still Hates Black People
2008-05-11 10:06:00 As, seen in this official White House poster, President Bush, just doesn't like Black people. The President, sights rap music, dogfighting, and the Bill Cosby movie "Ghost Dad" as the main reason his administration dragged their feet during Hurricane Katrina. President Bush who is trying to get his approval rating into single digits, admitted today that he still does not like Black people. "New schools are opening, people who were displaced are now in good homes, oh yeah and I don't like Black people," the President said in a speech about improvements in New Orleans. "We never had any of them in my Skull and Bones club, and we never a knife fight either." The President elaborated. Unfortunately this came as no surprise to most activists, who see no reason to protest the President, as it is such a well known fact.

Philip Shenon, THE COMMISSION: THE UNCENSORED HISTORY OF THE 9/11 INVESTIGA
2008-05-10 05:48:00 I think everyone remembers where they were when they first heard about the planes flying into the World Trade Center towers and the Pentagon. For our generation, it?s that horrifying moment that matches up with when other generations remember the Kennedy assassination or the bombing of Pearl Harbor. But where were you when the horror of the Bush Administration?s handling of 9/11 began settling in? Its inability to scramble jets that fateful day or the President staying in an elementary school, reading to children about a goat rather than getting up and showing some leadership capabilities? Where were you when the Administration resisted a proper investigation of the attack on America? Philip Shenon, an accomplished and long-time reporter for The New York Times, has written a book that every American should read.

Ward Of The State
2008-05-09 11:46:00 After denying it and enlisting talk radio show listeners to support him, former SF KGO talk radio host and priest Bernie Ward faces five years in the pen for admitting kiddie porn. Ward's lawyer still insists he was merely "play-acting." Au contraire. SF's ABC7 finds Bernie's been a "predator" for years. SF Gate: Bernie Ward, the most prominent liberal voice on Bay Area talk radio for more than two decades, admitted Thursday to distribution of child pornography by e-mail in a plea deal that will send him to federal prison for at least five years. Ward, 57, a former Roman Catholic priest, was a fixture on KGO-AM 810 for three hours every weeknight, known in recent years for his fervent denunciations of President Bush and the war in Iraq during his news talk show. He also hosted "God Talk," a Sunday morning program on religion, and was a prolific fundraiser for the station's charity drives.Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe at one point Ward and/or his surrogates suggested Ge...

Global food crisis - An analysis by George Bush
2008-05-03 14:42:00 How George Bush served two terms of presidency of the United States of America is something I can never comprehend completely. He basically comes across as a poor decision-maker, lacks crisis management skills and is a source of inspiration to people interested in garbling up English grammar for general use [Wikiquote link]. Or even fun.His latest gems come out in the form of an analysis of the world?s food crisis and squarely laying the blame on India?s middle class. This follows a similar allegation from his top diplomat Condoleezza Rice, who had earlier asked India and China to ?eat less?. While speaking in Missouri, Bush has stated:-...the more prosperous the world is, the more opportunity there is.Why yes of course, sir. Quote of a genius. Please carry on.So, for example, just as an interesting thought for you, there are 350 million people in India who are classified as middle class. That's bigger than America.
