Olbermann is successful because he is a damn good journalist. Matthews is just a screaming fool with very unhealthy obsessions. In other words, he’s the O’Falafel equivalent at MSNBC. Totally insane.

I doubt that Keith’s really “in charge,” or he wouldn’t be having to sit next to Tweety during all those specials. He can’t possibly be enjoying that.

Kucinich and Olbermen are moderates and US soldiers are terrorists.

Oh, I forgot – only Democrats can win elections there, too, Republicans can only steal them. If there is any justice on Planet Lefty Patriot then, only one party – the one he likes – is allowed to participate! Perfect society, sounds kinda familiar….

Kucinich and Olbermen are moderates and US soldiers are terrorists.

I’m curious – does the sun never shine on Planet Lefty Patriot or is the extreme heat the cause of its denizens dementia?

your frame of reference is decidedly Soviet. your frame of reference is based on the corporate, rightwing takeover of the entire news apparatus of the USA since 1970. The fact that you think Bush should stay until the end of the term just shows how out of touch y8ou are with most of America. comparing real Americans with corporate politicians is a fool’s game, and you’re the fool. Olberman is, in fact and deed, a moderate. He is certainly no lefty, he only looks that way to you koolaid chuggers because he exposes the immorality and lies of the right. Kucinich polled 2% because the rightwing media has spent millions of dollars and thousands of hours framing him. That’s what you fascists do. So, once again, you’re totally wrong, and come down against Aemrica and what it stands for. No surprise; there are no Republiscum left that are patriots.

Like I said, Re-bumbling-kins are right of Mussolini.

Well, all I can say is KO is a moderate only if you chop the political spectrum in half and discard the half you disagree with and reset your reference points.

If calling for Bush’s impeachment is a moderate position, why is it a laughing stock in Congress? If Col. Jack doesn’t acknowledge the one-tenth of a half a percent who signed the impeachment petition figure as admissable to where America’s sense of what a moderate is, how about Dennis Kucinich? He has been a VERY vocal champion of impeachment and polled 2% in New Hampshire. I can see very little difference between Kucinich and KO in their viewpoints. If you think DK is a moderate too, well…it could be your own frame of reference that is skewed, not mine.

Calling for someone violating the law of the Land, the Constitution and committing war crimes ( torture ) is radical in your book, eh?

Not to sane, rational citizens. Its just the fact, most of the Re-bumbling-kins positions are right of Mussolini.

And there you have it… ;)

Tweety’s dumber than a bird! So please stop insulting our feathered friends. (full disclosure, I used to raise greys)

Col. Jack, it is these days!

This from mediabistro.com on KO:

The article also touches on Olbermann’s goals, in the context of his main competition, Fox News Channel. “I’d like it to be the accurate counterweight to Fox. My attitude is not to counterbalance them because they’re conservatives; it’s counterbalancing because some of their stuff is outlandishly in violation of every tenet of responsible broadcasting,” he says.

Amen, bruddah! How much does it suck when factual reporting is considered liberal spin. What a friggin joke our 4th estate has become!

Tom, Please do not insult birds like that, a little o/t but it’s been proven that the African Grey parrot can actually hold a conversation while understanding the meaning of the words and that some birds like the Raven and Crow can actually use tools, all unlike our friend Tweety… who can do neither! ;)>>

My African Grey carries on lucid conversations, and is certainly more intelligent that Tweety ever was!
