Olbermann says Clinton spoke the truth, calls President Bush a coward
You can say one thing about Keith Olbermann... The guy is smart. Roosevelt, Hoover, Lincoln, Tokyo Rose, plus quotes from public figures from nearly 10 years ago? The man knows history, regardless of how you feel about him personally.The headlines about them are, of course, entirely wrong.
It is not essential that a past president, bullied and sandbagged by a monkey posing as a newscaster, finally lashed back.
It is not important that the current President’s portable public chorus has described his predecessor’s tone as “crazed.”
Our tone should be crazed. The nation’s freedoms are under assault by an administration whose policies can do us as much damage as al Qaida; the nation’s marketplace of ideas is being poisoned by a propaganda company so blatant that Tokyo Rose would’ve quit.
Nonetheless. The headline is this:
Bill Clinton did what almost none of us have done in five years.
He has spoken the truth about 9/11, and the current presidential administration.

Finally a newsman with the courage to defend the Clinton Administration for what they did right and admonish the Bush Administration for what they didn't do, which was act on the intelligence they had and possibly stop 9/11 from happening.
I especially liked Obermann's description of the Bush actions as fertilizer for terror. All the while the biggest dung heap of all, unlike his predessors, fails to take any responsibility for anything that has happened on his watch.

All true, Blue and Sage, but a reality check is in order. The gruesome and depressing truth is that it should not have taken this long to seriously fight back. Currently, there are a dozen dimwit liars like Limbaugh, O'Reilly, etc., for every Olbermann. Money, power, and good old-fashioned stupidity control the greatest portion of the media. You can see that just by reading the stats on the "Cable News Race," Item 608, here on Pollyticks. That a fool like O'Reilly has four times the audience of Olbermann should remind us how tough the fight is. Some change will occur in November, but just how much? Expect the battle to last long after that.

Olbermann has a sense of timing, too, and the magnitude of what's at stake in November because the Clinton interview only aired on TV a couple days ago. Olbermann put this together in a rush, which makes it even more remarkable.
Wow...
