Keith Olbermann Mouths Off On National TV!

Tref · 07-04-2007, 01:06 AM

The reliably sedate and even-keeled, Keith Olbermann shocked viewers yesterday when he mouthed off during his MSNBC TV Show, declaring, "Bush & Cheney should resign!"

For you, Mr. Bush, and for Mr. Cheney, there is a lesser task. You need merely achieve a very low threshold indeed. Display just that iota of patriotism which Richard Nixon showed, on August 9th, 1974.

Resign.

And give us someone—anyone—about whom all of us might yet be able to quote John Wayne, and say, “I didn’t vote for him, but he’s my president, and I hope he does a good job.”

It's something to watch, isn't it?

Judge Walton had more to say also.

Gotta love the footnote LOL

What do you want from a guy?

Given all the hard-assed independent (e.g., Jesse Ventura) to conservative hothead (e.g., Alan Keyes) hosts who have bombed on MSNBC over the last couple of years, it's interesting that Olbermann thrives.

He had the good sense to pick a fight with O'Reilly (and I don't mean that sarcastically; not being willing to tolerate O'Reilly is a sign of good sense) which gave people and the press a reason to talk about him and gave him exposure in a much larger audience.

Wow- well said, indeed. Very nice thing to wake up to on this July 4th. Thanks, Tref!

Now, if Bush and Cheney resign, does that make AL Haig president?

No... Nancy Pelosi.

Wouldn't it be nice to hear "Madam President", and it not refer to Hillary?

No - it would be set up to have Cheney resign, Bush appoint a new VP - like Fred Thompson - then resign, making Thompson President and running from the stand point of an incumbant.

While I haven't seen any ratings in a while, doesn't he typically have less than 500K viewers on a nightly basis? Certainly more than Ventura or Keyes, but nothing to brag about.
