Shut Up Already Bush!, The latest...... Options

Now Bush is comparing Obama to Chamberlain in a globally watched speech in Israel.
Of course Bush finds it fine that he's currently negotiating with N.Korea -a nation on his 'axis of evil' list.

Apparently McCain is fine with it too and he's saying he can win the war in Iraq in 4 years -wow, where've we heard that song before.

The fact he won an Edward Murrow Award back in 2001, doesn't change the fact his job right now is as biased political commentator.
I would be curious to know if his award was for personal work or as part of a show.
There are several different groups who hand out Edward Murrow Awards, some are directly to a person other times it's to all the members of a newscast.
I think it's interesting to note, Edward Murrow is famous for two things.
His reporting during WWII, then later his use of his show to attack Senator Joseph McCarthy.
His radio reports during WWII was an example of journalism at it's best.
His attacks on McCarthy were by his own words, his personal feelings about McCarthy an not journalism.
At the time he thought there was a chance it would end his career.

For that matter, Bill Orielly has won a Peabody award and an Emmy, that doesn't change the fact he's a political/partisan hack.

Something else which demonstrates my earlier post about how I think Olbermann tends to choke if his remarks are not prepared before hand.
His Conservative counterparts all allow people with contrary views on their programs to argue their views.
Olberman never really does that.
I think he would fail if he did.
A few days after Murrow attacked McCarthy, he invited him his show to allow McCarthy a chance to respond.

Oh, there's no doubt Olbermann is, uh... left-leaning... but I think he does a good job at playing that role. Just as Bill O plays the same role on the other side.





For what it's worth: Olbermann won that Murrow award for his ABC Radio coverage of 9/11. Other past winners include Koppel, Rather, Brokaw (as per Wiki).

Oh, and O'Reilly never won a Peabody - he fabricated that.
