Olbermann's best comment yet

[Mizzougrad96]

I think Olbermann is right on. If this passes, 2010 is going to be a very interesting year when election time rolls around.

I read the story, I didn't see the video.

Have you seen this before? Because it's an eleven minute video that you apparently watched in four.

I have a strange sense of deja vu . . . .

Being as how it originally aired last night, there has been plenty of opportunity to see it, Mizzou's response notwithstanding. I saw it before it was posted in the thread.

And my usual opinion of Olbermann's overheated commentary aside, I thought this one was excellent, aside from his contionue need to end with the stolen "Good night and good luck." God forbid he come up with his own line.

Like many of these, reading the transcript is a more pleasant experience than watching the video.

He's my favorite seething ball of hate. I love a good self-righteous indignation mixed in with smarm.

How are we not dating?

The beard.
And the hockey.
And the baseball.
And the Obama.

Does this mean we can't date because I have a beard?

On the plus side, Buck, I'm apparently available.

I don't date guys with beards, Zeke.
Sorry.
I also have a very good friend named Zeke. Saying your name in bed would be too weird.
I'm a bit of a dirty talker.

Well, this board is doing wonders for my self-esteem.

No, we can't date because you have a ladyfriend.

I'm trying to stop doing that.

[daytonadan1983]

so what is the heart of the matter?

This was my favorite line from oberdork:

"On April 6th 2003 I was approached by two drunken young men at a baseball game. One of them started to ask for an autograph. The other stopped him by shouting “Screw him, he’s a liberal.”

Just this year at Yankee Old Timers day Oblerman was roundly booed when introduced at Old Timers day announcer.

You're missing out, sweetheart.

Yay, the politics board is back!

Hooray?

Well, some of us are missing all the scary Muslim ****.

Don't worry. Hondo's still blasting the muslims and the blacks while crying about the intolerant, unfair liberals.

Still waiting for you to produce any post I've made in that regard. So far, you've ducked it. I'd call that pretty gutless.

Except for the politics talk, this is a great thread.

Sorry to pee on your parade, but Glenn Beck has that one sewn up permanently....

They're both morons.

Amen. Everyone is not going to get what they want out of this health care bill. Plain and simple.

Given that the prevailing
mosiac of the legislation is designed to fellate the uninsured, while screwing the Boomers . . . well, the Boomers are far more diligent in their voting habits than are the uninsured, as the Dems will discover.

"fellate the uninsured"

This country so lacks compassion from its "haves"... it's just disgusting.

 

[Michael_ Gee]

Gosh, the Congress produced a mishmash compromise bill on a big issue?!? That's gotta be a first.

They're trying to screw the boomers on Medicare to pay for that. Uh, uh.

What great week for the country. Between the agreement on gllobal warming and now health care reform Obama has done a lifetime of work in 3 days. Good thing he left Copenhagen when he did. Otherwise he would not have been able to get back to DC to nail down final votes needed for health care bill.

From Copenhagen to Capitol Hill, the president determined the outer limits of what he could accomplish on climate change and health care and decided that was enough, for now.

After weeks of frustrating delays and falling poll numbers, Mr. Obama decided to take what he could get, declare victory and claim momentum on some of the administration’s biggest priorities, even if the details did not always match the lofty vision that underlined them.
