Keith Olbermann on MSNBC on video accusses Bush of "pimping General Petraus" "...for pimping gen petraus sir.." 3/4 of the way thru the video. Why isn't Keith Suspended? Olbermann speaking of Bush: "And in pimping General David Petraeus and in the violation of everything this country has been assiduously and vigilantly against for 220 years, you have tried to blur the gleaming radioactive demarcation between the military and the political, and to portray your party as the one associated with the military, and your opponents as the ones somehow antithetical to it."

How do we contact MSNBC and tell them that they should suspend him also?

“...and to portray your party as the one associated with the military, and your opponents as the ones somehow antithetical to it.”

What portrayal? Are there any Democrats left in the military?

Except for a few green recruits, why would there be? The last remaining few that were in the military are now out, and form the few *actual* Iraq and Afghanistan veterans against the war.

There are probably more Wiccans in the military than Democrats.

MATTHEWS: Is this corrupt, what Hillary Clinton is doing, holding fund-raisers with lobbyists, pimping them, basically, saying, if you give money to me, you lobbyists, I will sit you down to lunch with members of Congress, chairmen of committees, and they will sit around with you and you will get to be friends with each other, but give me the money first, and I will set up those deals, those lunches?

Petraeus for president in 2012! Let’s assume he’s a conservative. Does anyone know what party he belongs to?

He may be there on the air, but I wouldn’t recognize him if he was in WalMart welcoming me.

I’m afraid that if we pay too much attention to Olbermann he’ll get a reputation as a “conservative slayer” and be turned into a big-time celebrity by his benefactors. (In fact, it’s already happening.) I’d LOVE to see him go up against someone like Krauthammer (an appropriate name in this case), who actually has some historical knowledge, and would pin Olbermann’s ass to the wall. And it’s for that reason that I’ve never seen Olbermann - in the few times I’ve watched him - allow a conservative to come on the program and debate with him. He just spouts his inanities without fear of contradiction or fact-checking.

Pimpin’ is an instantly overused word, used by those with limited intelligence.

Maybe the difference is that Shuster appears to be a legitimate journalist sort of and reporters shouldn’t use such language in their stories, but no one would ever mistake Olbermann for a legitimate anything, especially a serious newsman, so anything he says is excused.......

You’re right of course — the clown thrives on notoriety and publicity...he’s got zero talent.

And - if you can believe a lady he has “known” in the biblical sense — he is lacking in the department of manly “hardware”...

But — I’m at least 2 centuries forward of where I was meant to be born...
I feel this strong urge to step out into a dusty street and call any offender out to face me and defend himself....
