Olbermann blasts Bush 09.11.06

Keith for President. I wish he would do a story on Larry Silverstein, and all the money he made from the insurance he purchased 6 weeks before 9/11. If a guy murders his wife, investigators check for insurance policies first.

hkl.... do you not see what it says, its one of his special comments, key word comment, a small piece on his show, not to bright as we think we are maybe

[hkl]

The day Mr Olbermann acquires the same coherence of argument and conciseness which Cokie Roberts, George Will and Sam Donaldson effortlessly display is the day he earns the respect of (at least some of) those who disagree with his conclusions.

Eloquence and passion do not amount to much when one simply rambles on, jumping from one point to another, in the same monologue. The only people you end up "convincing" are those who already agree with you (see the comment above for proof).

I'd love to see your examples of Olbermann's lack of coherence.

[hkl]

Certainly.

Take time to walk into a law office and ask a lawyer to explain to you how practicable the following would be:

I: The Federal Government --exercising right of eminent domain-- seizing the 16 acres of private property, in order to expedite construction of a monument in accordance with Mr Olbermann's specifications.

. . .

[hkl]

Failing that

II: The White House exerting pressure on the site lease holders to do its bidding.

Have the lawyer explain how Congress, the Courts, the electorate and the press of all colors are likely to react.

Do please let us know what the lawyer explains to you, and how it enlightens you.

Never mind how it makes Mr Olbermann's indignation and implied demand appear.

Cheers, SJ.

the truth hurts deeply...lets spend a billion dollars to build a memorial NOT to build a war. lets spend another billion to help rebuild New Orleans NOT to lose more American lives. theres not much more to say...
