Keith Olbermann rips Bush
i want to buy this man a beer
the media desperately needs more of his kind, as he seems to be one of the very few using political media for it's intended purpose

Wow. A well spoken diatribe with none of the desk pounding that usually passes for political discussion. Simply a well thought out critique. Bravo.

Olbermann is awesome. I'm impressed every time I hear what he has to say.
No one can rip Bill O. a new one like Olbermann. Not even Stewart.

Wow. That brought a tear to my eye. Too bad it was on a network no one watches. Too bad FauxNews has a lineup of taking heads that say just the opposite and they reach far more homes. Obermann truly is a voice in the wilderness.

I like how he actually uses big words! (gasp!!!)
I hate how dumbed down news media is today. It allows the O'Reilly's of the world to prosper when in past era's their stupidity would be far easeier to spot!

Yeah, I've seen that. Pretty intense. The guy looked like he was getting emotional at points. Great commentary, for sure.

Wow. More people should hear him speak. Moreover, even more people should really listen to what he has to say. A well thought out and intellectual arguement.

Bill Maher (Sept. 8th):
And finally, New Rule: Bad presidents happen to good people. [applause] [cheers] Amid all the 9/11 anniversary talk about what will keep us safe, let me suggest that, in a world turned hostile to America, the smartest message we can send to those beyond our shores is, “We’re not with stupid.” [laughter] [applause] [cheers]
Therefore, I maintain that ridiculing this president is now the most patriotic thing you can possibly do. [applause] [cheers] Wait. Let the word go forth to our allies and our enemies alike. Let them know that there’s a whole swath of Americans desperate to distance themselves from George Bush. And that’s just Republicans running for re-election. [laughter] [applause]
Now, America is an easily misunderstood country these days. A lot of the time, it’s hard to make out what we’re saying over the bombs we’re dropping. But the world needs to know that most Americans don’t think that putting a boot in your ass is the way to solve problems. Because even allowing that my foot lodged in your ass would feel good, which I don’t—[laughter]—what then? Okay, my boot is in your ass, but I can’t get it out, so I’m not happy. [laughter] And it’s in you, so you’re not happy. [laughter] There’s no exit strategy. [laughter] [applause]
If I could – if I could explain one thing about George Bush to the rest of the world, it’s this: we don’t know what the **** he’s saying either! [laughter] [applause] [cheers] Trust me, there’s nothing lost in translation! It’s just as incoherent in the original English. [laughter] George Bush just turned out to be one of those things that’s very popular for a few years, and then almost overnight becomes completely embarrassing. Like leg-warmers or white people going, “Oh, no, you di-n’t.” [laughter] [applause] Or invading Iraq.
Honestly, maybe the reason they haven’t attacked us again is they figure we’re already suffering enough. [laughter] No, it pains me to say these things because I know, deep down, George Bush has something extra. A chromosome. [laughter] [applause] Wait, wait, wait. You see, wait. I did that on purpose. Was it cruel? Maybe. But it saved lives, dammit! [laughter]
Because by doing the “extra chromosome” joke, I sent a message to a young Muslim somewhere in the world who is on a slow-burn about this country, and perhaps got him to think, “Huh, maybe the people of America aren’t so bad. Maybe it’s just that rodeo clown who leads them.” [laughter] [applause] [cheers] “Maybe the people get it!” We do, Ahmed, we do!! [laughter] [applause]
So, while honoring the anniversary of September, 2001, we must also never forget January, 2000. That’s when then governor George Bush said, “I know how hard it is to put food on your family.” [laughter] The world changed on 9/11. He didn’t. [laughter] That’s why we owe it to ourselves and to our children to never stop pointing out that George W. Bush is a gruesome boob. [laughter]
