    I accuse you, Mr. Olberman, of stealing from Emile Zola.

    He'd serve as a great face of the Democratic party -- an angry, bitter, frustrated, negative hater.

    I really hope for his sake that all three people that watch his show on a regular basis were actually watching that rant.

    So, in a highly melodramatic style, Olberman calls for President Bush to resign leaving our nation to be led by the only man he despises more than Bush: Cheney?

    Brilliant!

    Bush gets criticism for commuting Libby, for not pardoning Libby, for doing nothing, for doing anything and for not doing anything soon enough. Must be fun to be the president of the US...

    Olbie called for the resignation of both W and Dr. Evil
    the criticisms have been direct at Bush's continuing gross incompetence and dishonesty.

    Sounds like you're the only frustrated hater around here.

    An excellent message from Mr. Olbermann!

    Happy 4th!

    I'm sure however I was citing Olberman's big close which can't presume Cheney doing anything Olberman wants.

    No, I'm referring to criticisms from all sides not just Olberman.

    Yeah, because Bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh are, in contrast, paragons of reasonable, positive debate and rational discourse.

    Once again, go away and let the adults have a conversation. TIA.

    Nice clip, RocketRiver -- Olbermann admits to taking a fair amount of his own script from Loony-toon Dennis Kucinich's press secretary. That's just fantastic. Highly objective, lol.

    And how is FoxNews more partisan than MSNBC, who is airing this blatant, anti-US government propaganda? Help me out their, LiboCrits. Should the Republican candidates refuse to have MSNBC host debates, like the little Democratic white-flag flying candidates did?

    What a bunch of hypocrites on the left... Absolutely no cred.

    Once again Donkey shows the world his ignorance. --

    Countdown has been referred to as the "flagship" MSNBC franchise, so much so that on February 15, 2007 Olbermann received a four-year contract extension which will include two Countdown primetime specials on NBC and appearances on NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams as a commentator.

    Kucinich and his press secretary may not be objective, but at least they (and Olbermann) cited evidence provided by experts in the field rather than conjecture, assumptions, and lies.

    The only "Loony-toon" around here seems to be you.

    MSNBC's partisans...
    Olbermann

    Faux News' partisans...
    Hannity
    O'Reilly
    Hume
    Coulter (contributor)
    Gibson
    Cavuto
    Milloy

    Seems pretty one-sided to me.

    On the right as well. Have you enlisted yet or does your hypocrisy WRT the war in Iraq continue?

    You are correct. You still have none.

    incompetence and dishonesty in and of themselves are not impeachable offenses.

    this administration has committed a multitude of felonies including illegal wiretapping of american citizens, torture, lying us into an illegal war and spending $2.6 billion on fake news stories and propganda, to name a few. these are impeachable offenses. if this really was a nation of law where even the president had to follow it, these criminals would be out on their asses and immediately put on trial.

    I guess I am the only one who cares about the plagiarism?

    Olberman needs to stop relying on references to previous "greats" in order to make his words sound more important.
