against any of the aforementioned clowns you listed...Keith's "Special Comments" are nothing short of brillant & he does more than just name-call, which is something the hosts you mentioned are very good at....
Hell, Howard Stern & Paris Hilton could out debate most right wing hosts...
As far I'm concerned Olbermann is one of a few journalists who is telling the truth about the lies and distortions this administration has been feeding us for 6 years. He is a truth-teller and calls out those who wish to throw the sand in our eyes.
Gimmicky? No. Truth and honesty? Yes - absolutely.
It has less to do with hating Bush. It has more to do with exposing for the American taxpayer the real goings on in our government. If Bush was a good president and had the best interests of the nation at heart, I wouldn't care if he is a republican. Remember, I was a republican. (your typical Barry Goldwater republican.) My current governor, Charlie Crist is a republican. He has done more for my state in the weeks he has been in office than Jeb did in all of his terms.
This isn't partisanship, this isn't hate for me. This is right and wrong. In my eyes, I can't think of ONE thing Bush has done right in his presidency. He has made the poor poorer, the rich richer, he has robbed our treasury and has us locked into a senseless war where our kids are getting killed for his oil follies.
We need more Olbermanns out there on the airwaves - desperately. He may be a gimmick to some of you righties. For me, he is a breath of fresh air.
When Hillary is president, he will just fade away. Listen to some fresh air! Listen to Michael Medved, Michael Savage, Hugh Hewitt, Dennis Prager, Sean Hannity and of course-----RUSH LIMBAUGH!!!! YEEeeehhaaaaaa O boy could not win a debate w/any of superstars that I just mentioned. O boy has to stop dropping acid before he goes on his show.
I have had the (dubious) pleasure of hearing many of these clowns on their radio diatribes. (By the way, you've also left out some "stellar" figures, such as Glenn Beck.) They are masters of entertainment, but not of objective thought. Words such as "demagogues", "shills", and "sleaze artists" come to mind when thinking of them. They live in a sort of Moebius-strip world (a Moebius strip is a surface with but one side.) Their intent is not to inform but to inculcate dogma and cant. Only in a dumbed-down America could their sophistries and obfuscations have the influence they apparently have.

And I fell for it, thinking you really were that misbegotten and foolish. But now i'm convinced its all an act.
What you just said... "When Hillary is president, he will just fade away. Listen to some fresh air!

... there is NO WAY IN HELL you could be serious about that.
While I certainly disagreed with many of his positions, I never questioned either Reagan's dedication to principle or his basic decency as a human being. I almost always respected him, however wrong I felt he might be. I was never ashamed to have him as president. Annoyed, yes; outraged, sometimes; embarrassed, no.
As an American I AM ashamed of the current president and of the bunch of loonies that managed to foist him off on us. Furthermore, I cannot feel enough respect for him to even feel contempt.
At least there was SOME method to his madness. I'll admit that I had forgotten about that controversy, but it smells a little apocryphal to me. Better an astrologer than one's own asshole.
fair is fair [I think], and the quality of mercy is not strained [or so i've read] and as I recall it he became addicted to/dependent upon/habiuated to his drug [Oxycontin?] as a result of improper use of legally prescribed treatment. Just like Elvis. [I'm not sure about the details of his trying to obtain these drugs w/o prescription. and was he really 'dealing" or just hoarding?].
Any one of us might find overselves in that same position someday. Luckily, we're not offensive political "celebrities" so the public at large won't care.
Mercy, or at least a tiny bit of understanding, for a fellow human being in a shit situation. No matter how egregious his words and "thoughts" [feel free to laugh here] frequently are.
