Kieth Olbermann - Jackass

How can this guy actually posture himself as a journalist? I would have thought objectivity was a requirement, but seeing as he constantly screeches about the evil Republicans, I suppose most would conclude that he is a true partisan in the MSM.

We are, as every generation, inseparable from our own time.

Thus is our perspective, inevitably that of the explorer looking into the wrong end of the telescope.

But even accounting for our myopia, it’s hard to imagine there have been many elections more important than this one, certainly not in non-presidential years.

Oooh. Try to sound humble and then, with previously noted hubris, trumpet that this election is of historical consequence. Myopic? I'd say closer to nearly blind.

And so we look at the verdict in the trial of Saddam Hussein yesterday, and, with the very phrase “October, or November, Surprise” now a part of our vernacular, and the chest-thumping coming from so many of the Republican campaigners today, each of us must wonder about the convenience of the timing of his conviction and sentencing.

But let us give history and coincidence the benefit of the doubt—let’s say it’s just “happened” that way—and for a moment not look into the wrong end of the telescope.

Let’s perceive instead the bigger picture:

Saddam Hussein, found guilty in an Iraqi court.

Who can argue against that?

He is officially, what the world always knew he was: a war criminal.

Mr. Bush, was this imprimatur, worth the cost of 2,832 American lives, and thousands more American lives yet to be lost?

Maybe Olbermann is just lazy and didn't bother to look up that the date of the verdict was set some time ago. I found this in a simple google search and is dated October 15. But that would be an inconvenient truth for his twisted and distorted little world.

Olbermann is more of a buffoon than anything else. His paranoia is based on unsupported conjecture, and like usual is now postured as news.

I caught this idiot on MSNBC last night and his reporting pretty much finished my viewing night. With jackass' like Olbermann being postured for commentary and analysis, it's no wonder that Fox has such a majority of the MSM news audience.
