Things just keep getting deeper and deeper for "America's Mayor." Publisher Judith Reagan's allegations that NewsCorp demanded she lie about her affair with Bernard Kerik seems to be part of a broader protection of Fox News' lust for Giuliani to become the next president. Keith Olbermann breaks it down...and it's pretty ugly.
Welcome to L.A., guys! The WWE's Triple H mentions the WGA strike during the 11/5/07 WWE Raw which was live at Staples Center - and the crowd goes nuts.
Keith Olbermann delivered a powerful Special Comment on the eve of the seemingly done deal of Michael Mukasey's confirmation to be America's next attorney general: The Trouble with Torture.
First, Keith Olbermann apologizes for misquoting Rudy Giuliani. Then delivers a triple-whammy by awarding all three Worst Person honors to...Rudy Giuliani.
In usual Giuliani self-aggrandizing, Rudy has been claiming to be the only one who took bin Laden's threats seriously leading up to 9/11. But as the Village Voice found out, Rudy was even more oblivious to the situation than Bush was - and that's pretty ignorant. David Shuster spoke with senior editor Wayne Barrett who broke the story.
A look at the new open and set of MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann - and the #5 story of 10/22/07...Bush pulling the troops in front of him to get tens of billions more dollars for the war.
After seeing this, you'll be convinced that for a head of state, George W. Bush not only has a personality disorder, but it manifests itself in the obvious lack of a speed bump between his brain and his mouth. Keith Olbermann looks at the strange "World War III" presser Bush held today after his approval ratings came out at 24%. (And as is the wont of starting in a new studio, Milissa Rehberger was rushed on to open the show as Keith's studio had tech problems.)
KO takes a look at the attack on CHIP beneficiary Graeme Frost, a 12 year old boy who dared to ask the president not to veto the SCHIP bill. Air America's Rachel Maddow joins the discussion of this smear by the right.
McGough took aim at the outrageous comparison Rush Limbaugh made between him and a suicide bomber on tonight's Countdown. It might shock Rush that troops have minds of their own - even if those minds were almost blown to bits by roadside bombs.
This is hilarious. Bill-o has promised to go after anyone who continues to talk about his goofy comment about dining in Harlem. Keith Olbermann gives a clinic on how to prevent a Bill O'Reilly ambush from ever airing on Fox.
It's amazing how many "lawmakers" have no clue as to what the law really is. Mario Cuomo was on Hardball today, and gave a clinic to the current crop of Democrats on how much power the president really has. When it comes to war, he has none - a law that's getting by everyone today.
Hoo boy. We don't even know where to start with this one. Here's a congressman on Hardball displaying utter ignorance when it comes to the factions in Iraq. He don't care who kills who as long as liberty wins. In his world, the only ones who wouldn't be allowed to be in Iraq are...Iraqis. Sunni, Shia, Kurds...he doesn't care. He just wants liberty. This is exactly the kind of dangerous lack of knowlege that got us there in the first place.
While filling in for Tucker Carlson on 9/24/07, MSNBC's David Schuster brought on Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) to discuss Rush Limbaugh's use of "Betray Us" against Sen. Chuck Hagel, a decorated Vietnam veteran himself...and he blew her out of the water by asking her about one prominent U.S. troop from her district.
Keith Olbermann returned to Countdown tonight with his guns blazing. He delivered a Special Comment on Bush's planned staging of a softball question at a press conference today, allowing him the chance to attack MoveOn.org for a newspaper ad. KO also went after Bush for essentially attacking anti-war sentiment across America - which most of the country is feeling right now.
In an interview on MSNBC's Countdown, documentarian Ken Burns spoke with keith Olbermann about how all of America had a stake in WWII, while the Iraq war demands no sacrifice from anyone who doesn't volunteer to fight this war.
During his press conference today (9/20/07), President Bush deflected questions about the Blackwater murders and the oil deal his friend made with the Kurds. However, when it came to a MoveOn ad, he was all over it. Priorities. He ain't got 'em.
