Olbermann calls Bush a liar, threat worse than terrorists

I like Olbermann a lot actually, and I think he represents some hope for mainstream journalism. I would just not rely on him for change, and would be cautious/constructively critical about the particular message he is crafting. We are doing a much better job than he is, though unfortunately, he's got a bigger soapbox than we do. That's kinda how elite insititutions & corporations like it. If he gets canned, it will be sort of a "limited take out" along the lines of the Bill Maher's ABC/Politically Incorrect flap over his very <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>non-controversal </em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->post-911 comments. <p></p><i></i>

As bad as the empire is, Bush and co are a particular virulent strain of ugly nasty shite.<br><br>There may be others behind him pushing and pulling on strings and such, but Bush is the prez and as C in C he seems to be driving the world over a cliff before its ready. maybe only a few years beforehand but still hes doing the driving (someone else may be reading the map to him).<br><br>And it seems at the moment that any questioning of authority is verboten.<br><br>So any questioning of authority is good. 100 monkeys, morphic resonance and all that.<br><br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>...but then what?

I live half a world away.<br><br>And from that POV Bush is fucked. Even Tipper Gore's husband would be better than that fuckwit. (have I qualified as an enemy combatant yet?) Idiot son of an arsehole that he is. When dubya was elected the rest of the world had a good laugh - what a joke he was. The even made tv shows about the clown.<br><br>But even a cockhead with a tumour for a brain can cause some damage, and the policies that his cronies have promoted, those fucking oilmen (and women) in the whitehouse, that is what has brought this world closer to the edge than anything else.

I quoted another. It was a point of view I thought had <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>some</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> merit, so I shared it here. Since you brought up torture.....why the eff would anyone, including Olberman, address a fascist torture proponent with the respectful title of "sir"? It is THAT tone for which I thought the quote had merit in it's overall explanation for the "distaste" mentioned. <br>So yes, maybe I will write him and tell him to not be so respectful and proper towards a torture monkey. Good idea! <p></p><i></i>

"Sir" = sneering. <p></p><i></i>

[yesferatu]

To me, his "sir" was Murrow schtick, and not sneering at all. <br>It pays respect to a tyrant. I understand The Decider effin <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>hates</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> being called Mr. Bush and not Mr. President. So call him Mr. Bush. <p></p><i></i>
