Your post on Olbermann was not on the substance of what he said, but on the style. I responded.

I didn't "launch the video" as Lindy suggested. I read the transcript. If the words don't stand up without the theatrics, it's crap. And his entire tirade is crap. Vague accusations, things that have long ago been proven untrue, and buckets of leftist bile. I can get this kind of thing any day I want on DemocraticUnderground, from people just as stupid as Olbermann.

I have read many reasoned opinions in the past couple of days on the Libby decision, including legal opinions from conservative lawyers and others disapproving of the Libby commutation. Some of them think it should not have been done at all. Some say that a pardon would have been more morally consistent. All give reasons and precendents for their thoughts. Of my favorite conservative/libertarian blogs, several disapproved.

You're not interested in discussion, in what precedents are involved, comparison with other presidents, or anything other than blind hatred of Bush.

Keep getting your news from people like Olbermann. Just don't make fun then of those on the right who think Ann Coulter is a genius.

Someday you may get the leadership you seem to want: someone whose primary talent is to throw reason out the window, and to harness rage to send a mindless mob screaming into the streets.

It's been done, you know.
