Very nicely done. But nothing will come of it (sadly enough). ---

Wow. I’d hate to be a kitten in his path after that. ---

Before I even watch the vid (he does get (wonderfully) long-winded), Bush and Cheney out would make Pelosi Prez? Yeah! I’m down! 😃 ---

Olbermann’s nothing more than a [partisan hack](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=8744612&postcount=128). ---

I call for them to resign to! It’ll have the same effect as his call. ---

That little clip is going to be the very first thing I show my Government classes this fall. Beautiful. ---

Damn! I don’t watch Olberman, except when I see a clip on the internet. I guess he rants every night. But he keeps coming up with these over-the-top rants. Each one more sensational than the last. And each one _more to the point_ than the last. His anger and contempt are palpable. I can’t imagine why John Q. Public isn’t JUST as angry. Comparing Libby’s commutation/pardon/deal/golden parachute to the Saturday Night Massacre is brilliant. Then showing how Nixon “knew not what he had done” but then had the integrity to back off. Do what’s best for _the country_. Not wanting to put the country thru the impeachment process. And showing that that scourge of 20th century politics, that embarrassment, is STILL better than the conduct of Bushco and the current administration… that is nearly historical. On par with (Olberman’s idol) Edward R. Murrow. Bring these criminals to justice! Now! ---

I’m all wet. I just went for a run, so it could be sweat, but Olbermann cannot be ruled out as a cause. ---

[QUOTE=silenus] That little clip is going to be the very first thing I show my Government classes this fall. Beautiful. [/QUOTE] Good idea. I wasn’t all that upset (or surprised) about the Libby pardon, until Olbermann reminded me that, oh yeah, we do have a judicial system. I don’t mean to say that your class will be as dense as I am, but you know there are people saying “So what if he lied? We’ve seen worse.” Olbermann spells it out, and quoting John Wayne to do it is pretty smart. ---

Its just this kind of hysterical, confrontational style which is why you guys never win any elections! ---
