Who cares?
July 17th, 2007 at 1:54 pmThis could be interesting.
July 17th, 2007 at 1:56 pmI wonder why the rupubs never pick BillO or Hannity to host their dabates??
July 17th, 2007 at 1:58 pmExcellent.
If you’re looking for a good laugh…
Christian Rights’ New “Battle of the Toy Box”.
Hysterical.
July 17th, 2007 at 2:00 pmKO won’t be pulling punches with the presidential wannabes.
July 17th, 2007 at 2:01 pmShould be interesting.
To Jason —
Because a good moderator isn’t the star of the show — his job is to facilitate the proceedings, not pontificate. And if he does his job well, he will be the least visible person there.
While I love listening to Olbermann’s opinion pieces, I can imagine him setting aside that hat and wearing the one of moderator for a night. Can you honestly see BillO or Hannity surrendering the spotlight under any circumstances?
July 17th, 2007 at 2:02 pmTo RUCerious –
I agree. I can’t wait to see KO skewer the first candidate who tries to get away with answering a question with a tired soundbite.
Pity he’s moderating the Dems. I’d love to see him moderate a Repub debate.
July 17th, 2007 at 2:04 pm“Who cares?”
Comment by Mr. President
Another symptomatic exppression which belies the torment of your self awareness as it becomes aware that you have no friends, and all the others, they hate’cha.
July 17th, 2007 at 2:06 pm#4, christian violence is so much more acceptable to those people…. time to boycott CHINAmart.
July 17th, 2007 at 2:18 pmThis will be an amazing night, I will tune in on every TV possible for me to tune in with. I don’t think KO will be the one to accept an answer like “Ya, Health Care is EXTREMELY important, in fact I say it’s a good topic”
He’d be all over that like stink on shit. I want this, I want them to answer some of the burning questions on my mind. What specifically are you going to do with health care? What specifically are you going to do to restore our faith in our voting machines?
Without these questions answered in a non-formulated response I don’t see how any of them will get my vote. I really don’t care if I throw my vote away this year, I’m sick of hearing “Ya, I’m going to do stuff, things and they’re going to be good”
July 17th, 2007 at 2:25 pmHow did the Clinton people let this one slip by? Oooooh, I bet she’s freaking-out furious!
July 17th, 2007 at 2:34 pmA liberal hack moding a debate.Why don’t democrats complain about liberal bias in the media???
Are the democrats stilling hiding from Fox News?
July 17th, 2007 at 3:00 pmWho?
July 17th, 2007 at 3:05 pmCouldn’t get a journalist eh?
July 17th, 2007 at 4:04 pmIf you follow the link, you can vote for the questions to be asked. There is a question about impeachment. Go vote for it!
July 17th, 2007 at 4:47 pm….this is what the Republicans have been dreading all along. Wild horses coudn’t drag me away.
July 17th, 2007 at 5:01 pmKeith Olberman rules.
July 17th, 2007 at 6:37 pmNow that’s one I’m looking forward to. I started watching Countdown because it was fun. Was happy to find that the “sports guy” had a much better understanding of issues and politics (and followed the news more carefully) than the beltway boobs.
July 17th, 2007 at 6:57 pmY’all trolls are skeered of Keit Olbermann because he speaks the truth.
