Keith Olbermann's Special Comment tonight is without a doubt, one of his hardest hitting and most emotional to date. Keith absolutely lays waste to President Bush's lies and rhetoric about the surge. He contrasts his callous disregard for the truth and the troops between his six hour photo op in Iraq and the interview with Draper released this weekend.

1. It's good to--finally!--see someone telling it as it is about Bush, but his credibility and integrity problems go far beyond Iraq and extend throughout the foreign and domestic policies and actions of this sordid administration. Our press, whether identified as liberal or conservative, is wholly on bended knee before the corporate owners of the society, so we can expect little from them, and even less from talk show hosts, so it's at least welcome to see one man take a stand against the utterly corrupt Bush administration.

2. CAN'T YOU READ? HAVE YOU NO EARS? YOU ARE THE ONE WITH NO CREDIBILITY! LIBERALS ARE OUR "AMERICA IS TO BLAME" BUNCH OF SLOBS THAT GIVE US REAL AMERICANS A DISCERNABLE DIFFERENCE TO VIEW. WE REAL AMERICANS DON'T LIKE BEING CONFUSED WITH YOU KNOW NOTHINGS. EAT YOUR HEART OUT. CATIE COURIC MAY BE A FIRST. A NEWSPERSON WITH INTEGRITY? YOU, BUM, ARE A LIAR AND A DISGRACE TO THIS COUNTRY WITH YOUR BUSH BASHING. GET A LIFE! HISTORY WILL PROVE ME RIGHT. GOD BLESS OUR DEAR GEORGE BUSH!

3. This Olbermann guy is un-American. We have boots on the ground and he's waving the white flag of defeat.
We beat Saddam. The clean-up and security is going to take decades...sorry to inform those with a short attention span.
If you're glad Saddam is gone, you owe Bush at least a little debt of gratitude.

4. Bush has had no credibility with me from DAy one when he stole the first election....and less when he started the war, and less when he stole the second election....Bush is an empty shell of a man....no brains, no morality, no integrity, no vocabulary...he has nothing. He is a sad joke that he represents the best country on earth...filled with real and wonderful people, except the Few republican scoundrels and corporate panderers who support him....yet, behind his back, still call him a flaming anus.

5. MR. TIM, YOU ARE THE FLAMING ANUS! HOW MANY BOOKS HAVE YOU READ THIS YEAR? MR BUSH IS FAR SUPERIOR TO YOUR INTELLECT ANY DAY OF THE YEAR. YOU UNDERESTIMATE HIM TOTALLY. KISS YOUR FLAMING ASS WITH THANKS THAT BUSH HAS PROTECTED IT IN SPITE OF YOUR UNDESERVING BEING. YOU MAY GO BACK TO IRAQ NOW, WE DON'T WANT YOU HERE ANYMORE.

6. The news media is liberal. Olbermann is "far left". Far, far left. lol He also has only a handful of viewers. O'Reilly gets twice as many viewers as him and any given rerun gets twice as much as O'Reilly. Neither O'Reilly or Olbermann are journalists, they are editorialists that the majority of the US dispises. That would be why most media outlets don't spew their propoganda for an hour.

7. First of all... for all you republican morons too blind to see anything past your own face, understand this! Mr. Olbermann is the epitome of true Americanism and the beleif for freedom of speech. In fact to question our government and to rise up and stand together and speak our minds towards the wrongful actions this government has taken is exactly what being an American is ALL ABOUT. We were BORN with this very ideal!!! If you think this is UN-AMERICAN then you SIR would be drinking crumpets and tea right now worshipping the queen of england!!!

8. If you show me a person who truly likes any war I will show you a liar! We are in the Afghan/Iraq war for a very good reason. The empty, talking heads of Olbermann et al are of increasing distraction to our men and women overseas doing the job few of us would. I give president Bush credit for his resolve in this war against Islamic terrorism.

9. OH, MY GOODNESS! TEA AND CRUMPETS!..WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TO? TEA AND CRUMPETS? CAN A TRUE CONSERVATIVE DO TEA AND CRUMPETS? GOD, GIRL, GET A LIFE! OUR TROOPS DESERVE MORE SUPPORT THAN YOU CAN UNDERSTAND. OUR PRESIDENT DESERVES MORE SUPPORT FROM THE LIKES OF YOU ALSO. WE REPUBLICANS ARE NOT THE MORONS. I THINK YOU KNOW THAT. ONLY YOU HATE- MONGERING LIBS ARE MORONS. YOU ARE TOO IGNORANT TO EVEN KISS MR. BUSH'S BOOTS. YOUR COMMENTS ON BUSH'S WRONGDOINGS HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO MERIT. AMEN!

10. I can't take credit for this but here goes...
bush is a vulgar little maggot. He's a worthless bag of filth. As we say where I’m from, I'll bet he couldn't pour p!ss out of a boot with instructions on the heel. He is a canker. A sore that won't go away.
bush is a putrescent mass, a walking vomit. He's a spineless little worm deserving nothing but the profoundest contempt. He's a jerk, a cad, a weasel. His life is a monument to stupidity. He's a stench, a revulsion.
bush is a monster, an ogre, a malformity. I barf at the very thought of him. He has all the appeal of a paper cut. Lepers avoid him. He is vile, worthless, less than nothing. He is a weed, a fungus, the dregs of this earth. And did I mention he smells?
He is weary, stale, flat and unprofitable. He's grimy, squalid, nasty and profane. He is foul and disgusting. He's a fool, an ignoramus. Monkeys look down on him. Even sheep won't have sex with him. He is unreservedly pathetic, starved for attention, and lost in a land that reality forgot.
And what meaning does he expect his delusionally self-important statements of unknowing, inexperienced opinion to have with anyone? What fantasy does he hold that he would believe that his tiny-fisted tantrums would have more weight than that of a leprous desert rat, spinning rabidly in a circle, waiting for the bite of the snake?
He is a waste of flesh. He has no rhythm. He is ridiculous and obnoxious. He's the moral equivalent of a leech. He's a living emptiness, a meaningless void. He's a disease, a puerile, one-handed, slack-jawed, drooling, meatslapper.
On a good day he's a half-wit. He reminds me of drool. He's deficient in all that lends character. He's dank and filthy. He's asinine and benighted. He's the source of all unpleasantness. He spreads misery and sorrow wherever he goes.
He's a fiend and a coward, and he has bad breath. He is degenerate, noxious and depraved. I feel debased just for knowing he exists.
I cannot believe how incredibly stupid he is. I mean rock-hard stupid. Dehydrated-rock-hard stupid. Stupid, so stupid it goes way beyond the stupid we know into a whole different dimension of stupid. He is trans-stupid stupid.
Meta-stupid. Stupid collapsed on itself so far that even the neutrons have collapsed. Stupid gotten so dense that no intellect can escape. Singularity stupid. Blazing hot mid-day sun on Mercury stupid. He emits more stupid in one second than our entire galaxy emits in a year. Quasar stupid. Nothing in our universe can really be this stupid. Perhaps this is some primordial fragment from the original big bang of stupid. Some pure essence of a stupid so uncontaminated by anything else as to be beyond the laws of physics that we know.
WOW that felt good!!!!!!!!

11. "ONLY YOU HATE- MONGERING LIBS ARE MORONS." YOU ARE TOO IGNORANT TO EVEN KISS MR. BUSH'S BOOTS. YOUR COMMENTS ON BUSH'S WRONGDOINGS HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO MERIT. AMEN!
ROS...
Holy crap! You want me to kiss his boots? and worship him as a god? i'd rather shoot myself! also, for ones to call libs people who bash America, and Bush, and are "unpatriotic" because they dont want our people dying, you republicans and conservatives are the only ones I see on here who are calling people names, and raising hell... hmm... seems like its a disease you all share: Ignorance, and blind faith. You beleive more in a damn book, and what a man who lied to get us into war says, than you do in waht can BE PROVEN! its widely known that there were NO terrorists in Iraw BEFORE we kicked Saddamn out. in fact, he used to kill them. they where a threat to his reign of terror. so why did we go in there boys and girls? to overthrow a man who was evil? well, then why shouldnt someone invade us for INVADING ANOTHER COUNTRY EVEN WHEN TOLD WE COULD NOT BY THE U.N.?!??! we VIOLATED INTERNATIONAL LAW! its a sad day when I see Religion and politics go hand in hand... last time that happened over 10 million people WHERE BURNED TO DEATH IN THE INQUISITION! you guys need to take a step back, and stop bashing people, just because they dont think the same low thoughts as you. You are an HUMAN first, and Ameriucan 2nd... you are wanting to get peopled killed in Iraq when its been proven that our allies Saudi arabia, and Pakistan had their hands in the cookie jar too! corrupt assholes this country has turned into... All empires fall... you just have to know where to push... ladies and gents... we have just fallen off the edge of the world...

12. Since Olbermann has ALWAYS been a Bush hater, his credibility is zilch. His haranguing and ranting
only makes me think that the President must be doing something right!! Keith is just another media-made pretty-boy who is perhaps the most hate-filled person on TV. Watch the how ugly his face becomes when he snarls about Bush. Is he capable of objectivity? I don't think so!

13. I feel proud that in this nation of media puppets and political whores there is still a journalist with the intelligence and courage to "tell it like it is". Thank you Mr. Keith Olbermann for your honesty in the face of this administrations deceit regarding the "Iraq occupation". The majority of the American people continue to oppose Bush's Iraq fiasco but he just don't care.
Impeach Bush Now!

14. HaveI lost my mind, or are there so many idiots who believe our nation's safety has anything to do with Iraq. You right-wing fucks are too much. Olberman perhaps used too many big words for your Bush intellect. This president is a piece of shit, guilty of the deaths of tens of thousands, sending our country into bankruptcy and giving dipshit right-wing christians a belief that what we're doing is noble and justified. Jim, you and the other shit brains really need to pull your head out of your asses.

15. Olberman is an ass! It's easy to take the "liberal" stance on things because you simply sit on your hands and squeal like a little girl whether we're hit by terrorists or whether we hit terrorists!
"Waaaah! We were hit- and it's all Bush's fault!" Or "Waaaaah, panties on the head of OBL- that's cultural insensitivity- and I wet my liberal pants!"
Olberman is a journalist scum-bag who is profiteering on this war probably more than any Democrat or Republican who's got their grubby hands in the military industrial complex. He wants to be the next Walter Cronkite- truth and homeland be damned!
