In an extended Special Comment tonight, MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann called on President Bush and Vice President Cheney to resign. He concludes his commentary with this:
We of this time–and our leaders in Congress, of both parties–must now live up to those standards which echo through our history: Pressure, negotiate, impeach–get you, Mr. Bush, and Mr. Cheney, two men who are now perilous to our Democracy, away from its helm.
For you, Mr. Bush, and for Mr. Cheney, there is a lesser task. You need merely achieve a very low threshold indeed. Display just that iota of patriotism which Richard Nixon showed, on August 9th, 1974.
Resign.
And give us someone–anyone–about whom all of us might yet be able to quote John Wayne, and say, “I didn’t vote for him, but he’s my president, and I hope he does a good job.”
Watch a portion @ Think Progress
Here is the entire Special Comment:
Keith Olbermann speaks for the people and this is exactly what all Americans should do. Call for the resignation and/or impeachment of Bush, Cheney and Gonzo!
Is the United States an Empire?
Definition of an Empire:
A nation-state that dominates other nation-states and exhibits one or more of the following characteristics:
1) Exploits resources from the lands it dominates
2) Consumes large quantities of resources in amounts that are disproportionate to the size of its population relative to those of other nations
3) Maintain a large military that enforces its policies when more subtle measures fail
4) Spreads its language, literature, art, and various aspects of its culture throughout its sphere of influence
5) Taxes not just its own citizens, but also people in other countries
6) Imposes its own currency on the lands under its control
Tonight was the best “Special Comments” that Olbermann has had.
Yes, absolutely, it was his best! 😉
Olbermann is the greatest American alive.
Suzie:
Did you see you were tagged at Divajood’s?
Larry:
Yes, however, I haven’t had time to do anything with it! But I appreciate the tag! 😉
Larry:
She tagged you too! However, I believe you need to have your own blog Larry and you don’t have one!
• People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
Suzie:
Guess I better do one for Thursday.
I just read the rules and you need to have a blog Larry! At least, that is how I understand it.
Suzie:
If thatis the case, I missed that bullet.
Larry:
Yep, you missed it! LOL
Would you believe it’s 9:00 PM and still 104 here?
Suzie:
It stormed here all evening. I had to dodge lightning bolts between comments.
Larry:
It’s your turn to lose your internet! LOL
Btw… I have watched that Olbermann video 3 x now.. It’s that good! 😉
We, the People, must now put pressure on Congress to Impeach Bush and Cheney!!
Suzie:
I think I will download it to my computer. Good stuff. Olbermann was mad while he was talking.
Yes, he was mad! Wow!
LOL
Olbermann has been taking O’Reilly’s audience.
Olbermann should be taking all of the Faux Noise audience and pulling their heads out of the sand!
LOL
It’s been a long, hot day and I’m gonna say goodnight!
O’Reilly’s remaining audience are 75 yrs or older and can’t get out of their beds of confinement to change the channel.
Goodnight Suzie.
Watching now. When Keith is on his game, there are none better.
Jolly:
Olbermann has more guts than the entire congress.
Saying ANYONE has more guts than our CONgress isn’t saying much.
Have a cool 4th SQ
Thank You for finding the vid on YT. You will get a link. 🙂
[…] (video hat tip: Suzie Q) […]
The text should be on the front page of every paper in this country!!!!
My opinion: Bush and Cheney should drop dead. In fact, I can’t see how the evil that permeates them both isn’t toxic. I guess their pact with Beelzebub is the only thing keeping them alive.
Chen Zhen:
Thank you! I have added you to my blogroll! 🙂
Thanks Geezer but I am afraid it is going to be very hot! 113…
