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.

I stand corrected, now that you mention it I remember there was a lot of press about how it was a Polk not a Peabody.
I've watched both and most of the time, the truth lies somewhere in between what both sides say.
An interesting point came up while a friend and I were discussing a similar topic.
For some odd reason the liberal commentators have never been as popular as the conservative, which doesn't make sense when you consider there is a very unpopular Republican president.
Think about it, liberal commentators couldn't ask for better material then what Bush provides them.
I think Obermann's ratings will take a dive if a Democrat takes the whitehouse.
While the opposite is true for the conservative commentators, they remain popular regardless of who's president.

I also was able to watch the rant live. It was truly amazing to watch.

I agree with Robert, the role he plays is clearly as a commentator. The show is not sold as a news show. We really need a new term to describe news entertainment.

Robert, I disagree completely with you about the popularity of liberal commentators. Jon Stewart, Steven Colbert and even going back to Phil Donohue all stand in opposition to your assertion. Phil Donohue's show was MSNBC's most popular show when he was fired during the run-up to the war. The bosses at NBC lied and said he was fired for poor ratings, but when it was later revealed that his show had been the most popular, they admitted they were "uncomfortable" with having an anti-war commentator on their network at the start of the conflict.

As for Olbermann's ratings going down once Obama is President, I'd look to the ratings of Limbaugh, Hannity and the likes when Bush took office. Did they drop or climb?

I've been astonished at some of my friends who have been long-time hard-core Republicans. One has a very high post in government under the auspices of Homeland Security. He is absolutely FURIOUS about what has become of his agency under the "leadership" appointed by Bush. He bursts with anger and says our government is now just like Russia as Bush and his minions have appointed only political cronies. His agency is now run by someone with no security background, but she had a background in the Bush campaigns.

The outrage that Olbermann is voicing isn't solely held by liberal viewers. There are many in our nation who are furious over the disastrous changes that have been brought about by Bush.
