Olbermann On McClellan Revelations: Bush Was A Passively Inv

Tonight on Countdown, Keith Olbermann talked to MSNBC's David Shuster about revelations from former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan's new book, that President Bush, Dick Cheney and Karl Rove were directly involved in deceiving the American people about their roles in outing covert CIA operative, Valerie Plame. Anyone paying attention knew these allegations to be true all along, but as you would expect, Olbermann and Shuster nail it.

This is great! Finally Bush's administration is starting to stab each other. Now if only someone can issue out real knives to give to all of them then the world will be happy. Now to make it fair CIA should dip the knives in some kind of poison so they all go away peacefully. lol

FINALLY the rats leaving the sinking ship are starting to SPEAK OUT!

The annoying thing about Olbermann, is that it appears that he is "reading some script" the majority of the time.

He should speak off-the-cuff, instead of reading off a tele-prompter; word for word, for word.

Do any of you think Scott McClellan is NOT still lying for Bush? He even tells us, "I have a great affection for Bush, but he was misled." That's BS and anyone with a brain knows that he's STILL shilling for that sociopath-in-chief.

Actually jess, getting us out of Iraq is hardly a "surface issue". Taking action about climate change and environmental degradation is more than superficial. Finally addressing our energy supply problem is vital. These are all vital issues, which our cowardly moron neoGOPs refused to face for 8 years while the problems mounted and they buried their heads in prayer.

The only good thing about Bush is that he has made America ready for Obama. We are going to do great things now.

Not to mention...Barak won't let you sleep until you are using one of his government programs. All Left wingers want to have their names attached to a "New Deal" type program. After Obama jacks your taxes to highest point they have ever been (PerCENTage wise!), you tell me how you are sleeping...

I thought the people wanted the same after Eisenhower dropped the nuclear bombs on Japan, or strangely got involved in Vietnam, but the global economic machine that uses the US military as its clout just continues on. I have heard nothing and read nothing that allows me to think any different will happen with Obama at the helm. I`ll read more, but he seems like a terrific public speaker with no intentiion on changing the fundamental problems..just the surface issues that agitate the public.

JS: it seems the conservatives REALLY want to believe their Fearless Leader knows what's best. If he lied about Iraq, He must have had a good reason. They worship power and privilege, and consequently are not able to function as responsible citizens in a free society.

The crimes and blunders of Bush have opened the door for some real reform. The people are demanding it, and Obama has offered to be the channel.

The question is, do we have the courage and intelligence to follow through?

[geroldfirl]

Actually jess, I think Obama is opening a door for the American people to break through the corrupt crust of privilege and redirect our nation in a way that reflects a more inclusive interest.

Millions of people have invested in this campaign. Thinking people, progressive people.  People who care about the Constitutional protections for individual rights, who have gotten involved in this campaign and, hopefully, will stay involved afterwards.

We can do this.

I suggest you vote for Paul, and when he's assasinated, i suggest you buy a ticket for Wash and protest. I suggest you get mad, i suggest you find out more and talk about it, to everyone. The world is broken. The entire global political game is being played by rules you've never read. You are pigeon holed, i'll give you that, but the solution is not to continue to play by the rules that the big wigs don't even acknowledge.

[captaindebris]

So what do you suggest?
