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

[Hellfighter]

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.

You'll probably going to disagree but I think you made my own point.
Even though there have been several popular liberal commentators, I believe overall the conservative commentators have been more popular regardless of who's president.
BTW I haven't looked this up or checked rating, this is strictly a gut feeling which I'm pretty sure I'm right about.

Your post also goes to my previous point that I believe Olbermann's biggest weakness is the fact he doesn't do well without prepared remarks. Unlike the Hannity, Orielly, Beck or even the people you names like Stewart and Colbert. All of which have had shows where they do Q&A' with people who have dissenting opinions from the host of the show.
I think all the people named above, liberal and conservative all eat/drink/sleep current news except Obermann.
They all have writers, he seems to reply on them more.
More to my point, Donahue has been on both Hannity, Orielly.
Can you picture Olbermann doing his show where he let Hannity, Orielly argue their views with him.
Never going to happen.
Right or wrong, they would hand him his ass on a plate.

As for Donahue getting fired,
I've always thought there was probably a little more to the story than what he or MSNBC said.
Sure he had the top rated show at MSNBC, but it was a failed lineup overall.
It's like a pro sports team beating a high school team.
We're talking about Phil Donahue after all, a household name for 20+ years. So of course his show was the top at MSNBC, but it doesn't change the fact overall, his show failed to bring in the numbers MSNBC probably expected when they offered him the show.
BTW I am aware of the memo from NBC an their concerns he wasn't the face they wanted due to his anti-war stance.
I just don't think that's the ONLY reason as it's often portrayed.
If he had better ratings, they probably wouldn't have cared.
