1. i love this segment!
i have added every new segment to my blog as they come out.
it helps keep the tally of scandals in the realm
of the totally absurd.
because thats what it is.
some surrealistic dali nightmare,that when your mind attempts to contain the massive amounts of scandal and political cover-ups,it begins to seem unreal.
the "bushed" segment reminds my readers that they are not going insane.
the situation is real,and when its time to vote...
i want them all to remember.
thanks jeff..
how do you get all the clips into that synchronized format?
i had to post them individually.
could you share some of that voodoo with me?
or is it a trade secret?
is there some kind of handshake i would need to learn?
peace my friend.

2. I really do think all detained terror suspects should not be water boarded, but should instead be forced to listen to Keith (ankle biter) Olbermann, do his snarky little "I-hate-GW Bush-with-a passion" routine.

I think this would immediately extract a confession out of them, even if they were every bit as radical as Olbermann is. And excuse me. Gonzo-gate? Visitor-gate? Where was the scandal w/Gonzalez? The President has every right to fire any US Attorney he wants to for just about any reason. Bill Clinton actually did. And concerning "visitors", do we have precise information on every single visitor that Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid have? No. We don't.

Most of these supposed scandals sound every bit as phony as the "scandal" that took place when Dick Cheney had a meeting on energy policy and forgot to (horrors!) invite the Sierra club, people who know nothing about energy. When every Democrat in Congress wants to start logging a record of every person they meet with and making that public, then Bush and Cheney can start worrying about doing the same.

Once again, Olbermann will not acknowledge the dubious origin of this "scandal" list and will say just about anything to boost his ratings a little higher. He's the cable version of John (Gosh y'all, I thought ah'd do better in Carolina) Edwards.

And Keith, thanks, ever so much, for your noble offer to sacrifice some of your "personal success" in exchange for a Prez you like better. Easy to say when you're bringing up the rear in the ratings dept. Nice try, big guy.

Dave at 11:21PM on Jan 27th 2008

3. Keith Olbermann is is a flunkie, failure, who has dismal ratings, and is below Katie Couric.

So, if we got a President equal to Olbermanns success, we would get another flunkie, failure, who would have dismal ratings, and would be worse than Bush, Carter, Nixon combined.

4. so your saying your a huge olbermann fan dave?
we have o'rly to the right,olby to the left
and us in the middle...
well,
most of us,some of you tend to cling too close to the edge on either side.
um...dave?
did you really question the validity of alberto gonzales and his attempt to cover up a white house cou de ta' on the judicial branch as an actual scandal?
your kidding right?
the political firing of key federal prosecutors who refused to do the white house bidding,with no actual performance problems,other than political affiliation?
that does not raise a red flag?
you dont see politicizing the justice dept by systematic firings,to a more "co-operative" justice dept which would be more aquiescent to the white house's designs as scandalous?

dave,this is not about opinions.
this is about constitutional government.
remember US history in high school?
remember the constitution?
the whole three branches of government?
checks and balances?
well...the white house attempted to control two out of three.
in the past seven years this administration has accrued more power for the executive branch than in our ENTIRE 200 yr history!
yes..even more than nixon's administration.
and you dont think a political take over of the justice dept should be considered a scandal?
dave...dave...DAVE!!!!
come on my brother!!!
ill give ya that not every scandal olbermann has pointed out is our governments death knell,
but the this was the JUSTICE DEPT for christ sakes!
and then you defend cheney and his secret energy task force?
the government works for US dave...
and for that to work properly,there must be accountability and transparency.
we have seen neither from this administration.
did you know dave that there is an oil council for iraqi oil?
do you know how many iraqi oil companies are on that council?
ZERO.
do you know which oil companies ARE on the council?
american and british.they will be the companies deciding where and how the iraqi's oil fields shall be divided up.the fox is IN the hen house folks.
how much oil revenue will be funneled back into the iraq economy?take a guess....
NONE.all compensation for these oil fields shall be in the form of subsidation and aid packages.
and here is the interesting part.this was decided in secret,and co-wrote with the then interim iraq government.which was appointed by paul bremer,and were friendly to american interest.
all happening weeks after cheney's "secret energy task force".
you want to call it opportunist capitalism?
i call it stealing.
http://hightowerdownload.com/node/36
please stop being an apologist for this corrupt administration dave.
you seem a nice sort,but when an administration is this corrupt,secretive and politicizes everything.including our most important of documents...the constitution.there can be no support for this kind of hubris.
it must be confronted with the only power we,as citizens,have at our disposal...the vote.
this is not a polemic.
if bush was a dem i would be just as enraged.
the extreme political elements of this country have taken hold of the bullhorn,and our media gave it to them.
but that does not mean that these elements are correct,and you do not help by becoming an apologist for an administration that has:
expanded executive powers never before seen.
shaven 9 inalienable rights down to two,the rest are "suggestions" based on the whims of government precedence.
broken numerous laws and then passed laws to retroactively give themselves immunity.
politicized every aspect of this government polarizing an entire nation.
the list goes on and on and on.
while olbermann may take his list a bit far,there are so many scandals that just should not be ignored.
nor forgotten.
so please dave..
stop being a republican apologist,just because it's about a republican.
till next time..peace.

5. Jeff

You need someone new to do your hasty book reviews/

The Book "Liberal Fascist" by Jonah Goldberg made the NY Times Best Selling Hardcover Nonfiction Booklist.

On the USA Bestselling Books on their combined Fiction/Non-Fiction Best Selling Books, "Liberal Fascist" is now #59 and climbing.

Maybe I'll send a copy to Keith Olbermann

ROBERT OKANE at 12:45AM on Jan 28th 2008

6. If Olbermann will promise to go away, I will promise to vote for Obama.

Not that it would matter, if the Lefties get their wish it will just empower more obnoxious pundits from the Right. BO'Re, Hannity and the rest of those jerks became famous during the Clinton years.

I just wish they would all go away, including a certain Canadian kid.

7. Bush lies continue to get worse. Bush lie about Iran and its Nuclear Weapons Program has the UN Security backing Bush and his lie.

5 permanent members of the UN Security along with the USA and Germany,just drafted a Resolution to strengthen and expand the Sanctions against Iran over Iran's failure to end suspend their Uranium Enrichment Program. This resolution will be present for discussion and vote , and all those 7 Nations who drafted this Resolution:China, France, Britian, Russia, USA, and Germany stated they will vote for the increased Sanctions.

More Nations lies about Iran Nuclear Program. NIE, the truth has spoken, so why do not these Nations lift the Sanctions that are now imposed on Iran instead of increasing the sanctions?

ROBERT OKANE at 1:00AM on Jan 28th 2008

8. Wow! The list is overwhelming!

It would be nice if the Bush-Cheney supporters could stop shooting the messengers long enough to actually defend Bush. It would be great if they could tell the 75% of Americans who loathe Bush & Cheney just what they think their heroes have done RIGHT.

From the neocon perspective, the Bush-Cheny Junta has been successful. The neocon goals for Bush-Cheney were:

1. Start Perpetual War. (mission accomplished)
2. Steal Iraq's oil. (for U.S. oil companies)
3. Enrich the arms makers and military contractors.
4. Shred the United States Constitution.

In neocon terms, they're winners!

So c'mon, Bush-Cheney worshippers! Sell the rest of us on Dick & George. What's so freakin' great about them?

9. Olbermann is an absolute asshole. His big long list of scandals is basically the same old six or eight topics repackaged over and over.

This is a guy that plays will little paper dolls of O'Reily on the air. And we should take anything he says seriously?

Anyone who admires this sportscaster turned quasi-pundit and thinks he is right, needs to really take a hard look at themselves.

He and Chris wet themselves on air the night Obama won Iowa.

If he is so samrt and right on all these things, why is it he NEVER has the balls to have anyone on his show that might actually debate him on views? Hew only allows liberals to whom he toss softballs and agree with everything they say, because they agree with everything he says.

Really cute little voices though, Keithy.

11. I love Olbermann, but I wouldn't want him to trade his success for someone who should be doing their job. Olbermann is forced to do his job due to their irresponsibility. Everytime I see President Bush say, "The number one responsibility of the President is to protect the people from harm" all I think about is "My Pet Goat." The man had nothing better to do when the first tower was hit than to sit and continue reading that book? He could have taken it to go. I'm sure the kids would have understood. He's the President. I'm sure the school library wouldn't have charged him library fees. Bush's failure makes President Clinton think he did a great job in the White House. I wonder if you can still smell "Bubba's Crack on the Tour?" He dropped trow in the Office and that's inexcusable. What woman or American should tolerate this? Who would sell their soul for power?

Cecil Jones at 4:28AM on Jan 28th 2008

12. Hey, Robert Okane I have a book for you to read seeing how it come out two years ago.

American Facsit it's about the conservatives. Great and truthful book. Now seeing the
Rep/conservative/neo"con" don't know how to tell the truth, I'm sure your book is full of lies.

13. 8 Years of Bush Scandals which were after the 8 years of Clinton Scandals, not mentioned by Olbermann. Oh, a trip down memory Lane
1-Clinton puts troops in Bosnia promises that they would be home in 1 year. Congress had passed a Resolution that Clinton should ask Congress before putting troops in Bosnia, Clinton put troops in Bosnia against wishes of Congress.
2-Kosovo-Clinton lied about Kosovo atrocities which were justification for Kosovo Bombings, claiming 100,000 died of atrocities. Later, UN Investigators found only 2.108 bodies. Thus 78 days of Clinton/NATO bombings killed thousands of civilians, destroyed even hospitals and schools. Cluster Bombs dropped at 15000 feet kill innocent.
3-Whitewater Land deal between Clintons and the McDougals
4-Hillary's missing law billing records about her dealing in Castle Grande deal
5-Cattlegate-Clintons $1,000 investment on cattle futures turned into $100,000 profit
6-Travelgate-fires Billy Dale and 6 career staffers in the White House Travel Office, then used FBI to justify firings. Dale charged criminally to coverup firings-cleared in 2 hours by jury
7-Mike Espy agriculture secretary forced out of job over gifts he got from Arkansas based Tyson foods, longtime Clinton backers
8-Filegate-improper White House rummaging through 900 FBI files on Republican officals in Bush and Reagan Admin. White House said it was mistake.
9-Goldgate- White House aide David Watkins used Presidential Helicopters for personal gold outing. Forced to resigned. Clintons tried to use donations for defense of Watkins.
10-Hubbell-plead guilty to bilking clients ref. Watergate, close ties Clinton and Watergate
11-Indonesiagate-Lippo group-long time ties with Clintons-couple with ties Lipo group, gave $425,000 they did not have. Lipo also hired Hubbel for $250000 for the 5 months after he left White House and before he went to jail, to keep him quiet.
12-Paula Jones who accused Clinton of Sex Harassment
13-William Kennedy ex Hillary law partner-became White House lawyer and then forced to resign after concealing he fail to pay Nanny taxes. He was repremanded for Travelgate.
14-Craig Livingston ex-bar bouncer with history of drug use, who was Head of White House Security who Hillary demanded his hiring over FBI Objections.
15-Jim and Susan McDougal Clinton Whitewater partner, both convicted of fraud
16-Bernard Nussbaum-former White House lawyer was forced to resign when he botched coverup over Foster and Travelgate.
17-White House Staffer Leon Panetta accused of lies involving Whitewater damage control
18-Rose Law Firm-where Clinton, Vince Foster, Hubbell, William Kennedy were partners along with Joseph Giroir of the Lippo Group.
19-Clintons close ties with Saudies and their oil, $23 billions in arms sales to Saudies approved by Clinton
20-Hsu fundraiser one of Clinton top fund raisers.
21-China Trade bill-cost hundred of thousands of jobs in USA
22-Clinton sale on 77 super computers to China that could be used to unscramble secret data.
23 Ron Brown authorized sale of new American Missile engines to China for use on ICBM's
24-China Scandels-Major Players; John Huang, Charlie Trie and John Chung, allowed to cop pleas to lesser charges by Clinton Justice Dept.
25-Clinton kept blocking of the easing of Iraq Sanctions imposed. UN Agency estimated 500,000 Iraq children and a total of 1 million in all Iraq people died of hunger and lack of any medical treatment. Many European Countries said Clinton was guilty of Genocide. In 1999 France, Russia and China tried to lift Iraq Sanctions but was blocked by USA. Sanctions were on Iraq because of WMD and Clintons insisting Iraq had and would use WMD again, so Iraq must allow inspections or sanctions will remain.
26-Clinton authorized numerous no bid cost over contracts to Halliburton while Cheney was CEO of the Company
27-12/98 Clinton fired over 90 Cruise Missiles into Iraq in 4 days while UN Inspectors were in Iraq looking for WMD. After the missile attack, Saddam threw UN Inspectors out of Iraq.

All the killings and genocide on Iraq civilians with the sanctions were because of the Clintons insisting Iraq had WMD.

Over 1 million Iraq people died during Clintons 8 years

Much much more to write, but no time.

ROBERT OKANE at 5:55AM on Jan 28th 2008

14. 1 Million Iraqi's died during Clintons 8 years??? Okane, you are nuts!
