    And yet, it's not how it's spelled now. So what is the logical reason for using it? :confused:

    When Basso writes that "Rush Rules," it's enough for me to cement the probability of his dislike of minorities, women, the poor, and decent people.

    What cracks me up is that Elliott Spitzer is his replacement...and Dick Morris continues to get work as a commentator on Fox News.

    See...party affiliation and ideology mean nothing in current national politics. Left or Right, Democrat or Republican, it don't matter...seems like everyone needs a w****-chasing toothpick-hung commentator to tell them what to think!!

    :grin:

    This thread does a nice job of displaying the mindset of the different factions here. No liberals seem overly concerned that Olbermann was fired. They understand he has a history of being hard to work with, and have no difficulty believing he deserved to be terminated.

    Conservatives in this thread feel they've got a real winner because somebody from the "other side" got taken down, and surely all of those liberals will be hurting from that one.

    But it isn't like that. Liberals aren't as much about having a side and taking down the other side. That seems to be more of a conservative mindset. This thread displays it nicely.

    I'm just curious why that is.

    Direct tv 358. I was more concerned when Olbermann was fired from MSNBC. Not all cable/satellite providers have Current TV.

    In recent months my wife and I have been watching the Young Turks with Cenk Ugyur who we find more entertaining and really better on the facts when he drills down on them on Current instead of Olbermann. I only watch one of these shows a night and select heavily from one or two others as they tend to repeat the same topics on a given night.

    I am very thankful for Current TV, owned/founded by Joel Hyatt and Al Gore, which will keep corporate propagandist NBC honest with the liberal line up on MSNBC. They first leaned on Phil Donahue to have more pro-war guests and then second fired him when he had too many guests telling the truth in the lead up to the Iraq war, which they supported. Otherwise MSNBC will increasingly pressure Maddow and others to support the corporate agenda figuring that liberal eye balls they sell to advertisers have no where else to go.

    Politics aside. Olbermann is a f-cking prima donna ******* behind the scenes. We're talking worse than Rosie O'Donnell. Like his M&Ms better be the right color asshatery.

    If only that were true, I would vote for a ticket with these two in a minute.
