Sept. 28, 2006, 4:06 p.m.Wow! Please don't try to convice me that Olbermann can't report. That was some good investigative journalism.

Sept. 28, 2006, 4:11 p.m.I'm starting to remember a time when journalists actually rolled up their sleeves and did research instead of parroting talking points.

Sept. 28, 2006, 4:17 p.m.Lord Have Mercy!! What have they been doing in Washington D.C. for the last 6 years.
It appears that no one knows anything, the left hand certainly doesn't know what the right hand is doing, and no one can remember who was supposed to do what.
I have never seen or heard of such a disorganized group of people who are in such powerful positions as to the care and well being of a whole nation.
Bush can't remember if he was supposed to respond or if Rice was and vice versa???
What kind of leadership is that?
Can't say it surprises me though!! Nothing about this administration surprises me except that there are blind followers out there that will either ignore this thread or look for some OP-ED based thread to counter it with.
Excellent story Neophile!!!!!

Sept. 28, 2006, 4:25 p.m.What are the odds that this slanted hit piece by the ultrapartisan hack Olbermann will be labelled "OP-ED" by the Libscape anchors? Close to zero?

Sept. 28, 2006, 4:28 p.m.@Stephen Johnson, this is not an opinion piece. This isn't one of Olbermann's commentaries. He's simply reporting the facts here.

Strange how everything factual found about Bush is OP-ED to all the conservatives.

Sept. 28, 2006, 5:28 p.m.Cool! I don't watch tv, but I watched that show for the first time last night. Good stuff.
Does anyone recall the rest of the show, where he said he was in a hospital? Something about having his keys and wallet melted. I fell asleep and missed parts.

Sept. 28, 2006, 5:33 p.m."Strange how everything factual found about Bush is OP-ED to all the conservatives."
Not just OP-ED, extreme, far-left, OP-ED. Reminds me of the story behind the burning of the Library at Alexandria. Supposedly, the City was taken by the Moslems and a soldier asked his leader Omar what they were to do with the library.
Omar says, if the books disagree with the Koran, they are heresy and can be burned. And if they agree with the Koran, they are superflous and can be burned.
Sounds like a Republican to me.

Sept. 28, 2006, 5:52 p.m.Thank you. Do you know that sending letters (fake or not)is a federal felony offense and is considered terrorism?

Sept. 28, 2006, 5:52 p.m.did we expect anything other from Blowberman, wonder if he can turn that insight onto the clinton's

Sept. 28, 2006, 6:13 p.m.Ober - glad you recognized it for what it is. Insight!
The clintons get attacked enough by you guys.
But if you meant real insight, that might be interesting but what if the facts wound up being complementary.
I know, you'd probably recommend the clintons go hunting with Cheney.

Olbermann, Good reading, and good job, that took some work.

Sept. 28, 2006, 6:33 p.m.As much as I hate to admit this, he made a good case against the administration with that piece. Keep in mind that he (Olberman) is biased and it is media, they have the ability to cut,chop and place pieces together to look any way they want it to. IMO.

Sept. 28, 2006, 6:49 p.m.(("We were not left a comprehensive strategy to fight al Qaeda," she said.))
HUH? They didn't do anything because they weren't left any instructions?
((Clinton left no strategy to fight al Qaeda.)) what a cope out!!
((Richard Clarke sent Rice a memo, .."Strategy for Eliminating the Threat of al Qaeda." ..developed by the last administration to give to you, incorporating diplomatic, economic, military, public diplomacy, and intelligence tools."))
OOhhh wait a minute there were instructions left, no one read them!
This is absolutely unforgivable, along with the doe caught in the headlight look on his face after being told the World Trade Towers was under attack!!
Already 1995 plot unveiled...this is really just disgusting....this is the total failure of an arrogant out of touch administration

Sept. 28, 2006, 7:46 p.m.Hey Eagle Eye-I like your post & name. Let's cast our eyes again on that doe-caught-in-headlights look in Bush's face. It's always seemed to me that a strange light came over his face at that moment. It would be nice to have a discussion of that.
There's a beautiful film, "Tomorrow," starring Robert Duvall, who once called it his own favorite. It goes by flashback, and starts out in a courtroom where as a jury member, dirt-farmer Duvall alone refuses to vote to convict a young man despite overwhelming evidence that he committed murder. We flash back to when the man was an abandoned child, who escaped from a dysfunctional (to put it politely) family that abused him. Duvall takes the boy in, and tries to raise him well. One day the family returns, overpowers Duvall, and exercises its 'legal right" to reclaim the boy, who screams frantically at having to go back. To a consoling friend a sobbing Duvall says, "I saw it comin' - that's why it surprised me."

Sept. 28, 2006, 8:07 p.m.Olbermann, you rock man. Go get'em. This man makes more sense than any so-called journalist on television. He names names and tells it like it is. It's called TRUTH. Something that been in dreadfully short supply since the Bush gang got to Washington. It's people like Olbermann that makes me think we still have a chance of surviving this corrupt, greedy, inept administration.

Sept. 28, 2006, 8:41 p.m.Keith Olbermann is one of the few sources of straight talk about the idiots in DC these days!! His commentaries rival Murrow's that brought down Tailgunner Joe and Cronkite's that stopped the Vietnam war!!
Go Keith!!
