Keith Olbermann's special address (transcript and video available) on the President's "plan" in Iraq.

Apparently the newest dirty political trick is an attempt to keep Democrats home by robo-calling them with an attack ad which starts out as sounding as if it is from their candidate. People think they're being harrassed by their own party and hang up, only to keep getting called. If you listen to the message beyond that point, it turns into a standard attack ad and you find out it was paid for by the Republican Congressional Committee.

Watch the video and listen to the ad. Yikes!

Olbermann's rant on Clinton v. Fox News. Interesting stuff.

redotted from brent.meyer:

Excellent commentary from Olbermann on the administration's current use of Nazi Germany analogies.

Everyone should watch this.

Dang. Olbermann really went after O'Reilly and John Gibson - with their own words...

Quoted: Olbermann - "It is awfully painful. Whether he thinks me insincere or not, I really did like Gibbie. Hard working here, always there to cover a shift or help out in any way he could. Now, instead, he's denying he said some truly despicable things...things that were recorded for posterity. And worse, he's now trying to blame these hateful things on me. Ordinarily when someone gets caught saying something as intolerant as this, their choices are a) to apologize, b) to resign, or c) to make sure there's no tape and to lie their way out of it. John, unfortunately, chose d) blame it on somebody else.

Quoted: The audio clip is the definitive answer, and I would hope John would now have the self-respect to acknowledge what he said, and to leave the airwaves for good. Because, between the remark and denial he has, sadly, forfeited his right to stay here."
