I work at an airport and start my day very early in the am. I catch the show sometimes in it's entirity, only on my weekend. The question I have is. When in the hell are thre American people going to wake up from this nightmasre the Bush Administration is putting us through? I'm glad the party I'm affiliated with doesn't try to use the same logic these idiot's are trying to get away with.http://thenewshole.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/26/69738.aspx#69780Mon, 26 Feb 2007 22:39:13 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:69780rob platt NY NY"Creating a stable environment in Europe" required the enthusiastic participation of the Europeans. The Marshall Plan wasn't imposed, it was implemented with native cooperation. However, the Iraqis are not welcoming our further input. Stalin refused Marshall Plan aid for the Soviet bloc. We couldn't force help down their throat, and we can't force help down the throats of the Iraqis.http://thenewshole.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/26/69738.aspx#69830Mon, 26 Feb 2007 23:52:46 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:69830Pam Bignardi, San Pedro, CaliforniaKeith, you are simply the greatest news anchor on television! I love your comedic style, even in such a tragic situation. "said in with an adult present"...you're the best. I can't expect anything else from Condi; as afterall, she truly is "BLINDLY" loyal to the most arrogant and dishonest president this country has ever seen. We NEED THE GOOD LUCK YOU WISH US AT THE END OF EACH NIGHTY BROADCAST!! Thanks Keith, for exposing this administration's lies, and FOX NOISE!!

DECondolying Rice is simply put, a hack for this sad excuse for a U.S. president as there ever was. She sold her soul to the moron in the White House. She, as well as the other disciples, believe saying it often makes it true. She wouldn't understand international diplomacy if it jumped up and hit her.http://thenewshole.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/26/69738.aspx#69850Tue, 27 Feb 2007 00:35:52 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:69850Paul S, Scotrun , PAHow can this happen in our nation? We seem to have allowed the right wing lunes on radio and TV, to spread their racists, sexists, and fascist like ideology, to a majority of our nation. But what scares me the most, is that voices like Mr. Olbermann's, are a rearity, and unless something is done, our youth, will be educated by the likes of Bill (fairly unbalanced) O'reilly, and Rush Limbaugh. just typing their names feels dirty.http://thenewshole.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/26/69738.aspx#69897Tue, 27 Feb 2007 02:02:40 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:69897Tru M., Cleveland, OhioAnother "KO" from KO!

They went to her major (head of piano division) professor and asked him if she had a concert career in her future. He asked them - what else is she interested in? They responded - Political Science. His response, perhaps she should pursue this as a career and not piano. http://thenewshole.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/26/69738.aspx#69902Tue, 27 Feb 2007 02:06:46 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:69902Janet Moran Cincinnati OhioKeith, Bravo....you are my new hero!http://thenewshole.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/26/69738.aspx#69904Tue, 27 Feb 2007 02:07:43 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:69904Rich PipkinKeith, You are awsome.

DawsonTHANK YOU for your hard-hitting, well-reasoned comments on the outright lies of this Administration. I, like you, could not believe the idiotic comments made by Ms. Rice, simply to remain loyal to the petty tyrant who is currently besmirching the office of the President of the United States. It will take generations to repair the damage Mr. Bush and his cronies has done to our Constitution and our government.

Dayton, OhioI can understand how you can say that Secretary Rice is cheery picking her analogies. The fact that we waited until Hitler declared war on us was correct. The fact that it was a mistake that we and the British avoided stopping Hitler after Munich in 1932,led to the lss of millions. What if we did not stop sadaam? We would be trading the 3000 now with 30,ooo tomorow? And what about Roosevelt going back to congress? Do you realize that you are Taft in this arguement, and Taft was wrong! Do not cherry pick your ideas. Maybe she has a fifth grade education, but you are a hack sports broadcaster. And stealing Ed Murrows closing line doesn't make you Ed Murrow, just Bill O'Reilly's shadow!http://thenewshole.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/26/69738.aspx#69913Tue, 27 Feb 2007 02:09:33 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:69913Paul Lauer, Mankato, MNMr. Olbermann is passionate about his commentary tonight. Too bad he alone has hold of the truth -- he alone masters logic, reason, and rhetoric. Too bad he doesn't. Clearly there are comparisons of kind and not only comparisons of degree. Hussein matches Hitler in Kind. Even the press has made this comparison again and again. Granted, it is not a comparison in degree. He should run his arguments by an expert in logic, another by an expert in rhetoric. He fails miserably at both. He truly is sincere -- but he is sincerely wrong. http://thenewshole.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/26/69738.aspx#69917Tue, 27 Feb 2007 02:14:53 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:69917Bridgette P.Mr. Olbermann, you are right to criticize Ms. Rice’s comments; though you missed something. Her grammar is appalling. I am far from the best when it comes to grammar and spelling, but if her comments made me go cross eyed, then they were horrifically done. As for her statements, I have been arguing with anyone who will listen that we needed to keep the carpetbaggers out of Iraq and let the Iraqis rebuild. I know that post-Hitler Germany was far from peaceful, and that there were still pockets of resistance remaining among the Nazis. However, if one wants to see how to occupy, rebuild, and restore or create democracy in a nation, one has to study the actions of Truman, Eisenhower and Marshall after World War Two. http://thenewshole.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/26/69738.aspx#69920Tue, 27 Feb 2007 02:15:34 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:69920g wiess, colorado springs, coCondi Rice, "educated" in Colorado and the prime example of lazy irrational thinking which is endemic in the "new American women" who are advanced through the glass ceiling by cynical corrupt white Republican men...Let us pray!http://thenewshole.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/26/69738.aspx#69921Tue, 27 Feb 2007 02:16:25 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:69921Joan Boling, Knoxville, TNWOW - you express situations so eloquently.

I am a 62 year old male that has fought for this country and it is such a shame we allowed this to be.

Bush is unarguably the worst president in history, and we elected him twice!!!! Whoever it was who said "we get the government we deserve" was spot-on accurate. Maybe, in a few years, when the economy's wrecked, the armed forces in tatters,and people are being "disappeared" south american style, Maybe then the "great unwashed" will wake up, but i'd take bets against it!http://thenewshole.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/26/69738.aspx#69936Tue, 27 Feb 2007 02:31:26 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:69936Mike Bailey, Mobile AlabamaWhat is the excuse for comparison for all the liberal democrats, especially those in office, that have compared George W Bush to Hitler all these years he has been in office? Liberals and Democrats will never see eye to eye, ever. People watch of listen to what ever media vinue that agrees to their own veiw and nothing will ever change that. Thanks God taht I live in country that aloows me that freedom do chose what ever way I feel fit for me.

How many million Kurds did he kill with nerve gas? How many times did he state his intention to invade neighboring countries? Yes, I agree that comparing the Marshall Plan to US Martial Law is ridiculous, but these two dictators, Hussein and Hitler, had a lot of the same values. http://thenewshole.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/26/69738.aspx#69943Tue, 27 Feb 2007 02:42:05 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:69943David D, Baltimore MarylandYou sound no different than Bill and Rush, just on the other side trying to be controversial to pump the ratings. Get real! Saddam was every bit as bad as Hitler; the only differene was ability- Germany was a world power. They both invaded their neighbors and gassed and tortured their own people. Killing tens or hundreds of thousands as opposed to millions makes him less of a monster?http://thenewshole.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/26/69738.aspx#69944Tue, 27 Feb 2007 02:44:57 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:69944Mike Bailey, Mobile, ALThank God (can I say that on this site?) for the fact that there are other news organizations like Fox, and other than NBC, CBS, CNN, ABC and especially "P MSNBC" to gather my news from or I would be living with a dooms day attitude everyday of my life and worrying about breathing someone else's air and never questioning how the wealthy Hollywood leftist elitise get around to where thaey are going or question what water they drink and what air they breath. You know, Al Gore sure looks like he is taking up a lot of space. He is living in space that at least two other people could be living in not to mention the amount of oxygen he is using and not replenishing. And when he fladulates, thats a whole different story. At least when a cow fladulates I can get redd of that problem by eating the cow. Thats my contribution to saving the enviroment. The the livestock and stop the fladulates.http://thenewshole.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/26/69738.aspx#69947Tue, 27 Feb 2007 02:49:17 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:69947David Milliken, Merriam KSThanks, Keith, your show has really grown on me, though I wish your producer would drop some of the sensational stuff. We have so much more to give attention to. I understand. Condoleeza. "Typewriter Mouth" Rice should pack it in. I've watched the Presidency since Kennedy. Shame on us for this one and the guy that lives at the Naval Observatory, too. And the whole world watches these Sophomores-in-Chief." Where is a parliamentary system when we need it? It will take us years to restore the precious goodwill we once had. For one thing, we have always gone reluctantly to war, even WWII. How will we ever stop the abuse of the War Powers Act?

I look forward to each and everyone. As far as this administration goes, it will take a massive loss of life on our forces in Iraq or a public prosecution of one of these people for their incompetence and cronyism to put an end to this mess they have created. Unfortunately I feel it will be the former and not the latter. Even Ronald Reagan new better than to sit american forces in the middle of an area where they could not protect their own flanks (Lebanon). The mess I refer to is also much larger than Iraq, it has spread even into my beloved armed forces. All the folks who are for this foolishness should show real support by volunteering if able or supporting the nessary tax increase to pay for it. http://thenewshole.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/26/69738.aspx#69959Tue, 27 Feb 2007 03:04:58 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:69959Regina Cooper, Festus, MOAs both a former journalist and a current high school history teacher, I understand more than most the need to remain objective when presenting information to others. And when our nation's leaders ask us to take their words as truth, to accept that their take on any situation is not to be doubted, it is our duty to examine their "truth" through the lens of objectivity. Keith, you were absolutely on the money with tonight's comment. Making comparisons with Saddam Hussein's regime with Hitler's Germany is an inappropriate and historically inaccurate comparison. A better comparison might be to examine the erosions of civil liberties in 1930s Nazi Germany with similar disappearances in today's America. Don't you miss the good old days of habeas corpus?http://thenewshole.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/26/69738.aspx#69960Tue, 27 Feb 2007 03:06:12 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:69960Erik Gregorie, Athens PaDemocracy is a device that ensures we shall be governed no better than we deserve - George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950) We are living these words. I remain deeply pessimistic of our future. The apparent complete lack of intellectual curiosity and political questioning amoung the great unwashed that constitute the majority of those who continue to support this president and his policies I believe will condemn this country to that which we hope to avoid, moral irrelevance, political impotence and a future that would make a fine ending for a Rod Serling short story. Submitted for your approval.http://thenewshole.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/26/69738.aspx#69969Tue, 27 Feb 2007 03:25:08 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:69969Katherine Herrick, Boston, MAI think "Countdown" is the only truly courageous (honest) news program on t.v., and I wonder sometimes in fear, is Keith safe? This administration hand-picks their audiences, showing extreme cowardice in facing, let alone responding to, any voices of opposition. All their talk about democracy and patriotism and love for this country and support for our troops (that is, until they come home and/or happen to be gay)and how they own the flag--all this talk cannot mask their obvious distaste for anything but the symbolism alone. Except for a few brave souls like Chuck Hagle, I sum up this adminstration and Republicans at their worst--their greed, their hypocrisy, arrogance, intolerance, self-rightousness, dishonesty and cowardice--with a line from a movie with Michael Douglas, The American President....which I may not quote exactly,but close..."How can you sit back and listen to men who claim to love America but obviously can't stand Americans?"

She, too is hugely impressed with him and what he says. He is my hero because he says what all the rest of the cowards and hypocrytes refuses to say or admit plus his ratings continue to soar! People like Keith are what make America great. Commentators like Bill O. convolute facts to his own huge ego. Rush L, a convicted narcotic prescription abuser, plus a well known lover of young SE Asian girls, illegal in America to have sex with, each days reads his Republican Talking Points, the compassionate, conservative, supposedly religious. This man, this man!! represents a big part of Americans. These two men both use personal attacks against people to further their causes, they twist fact. One of these men likes sex with very young girls, the other with his employees. Keith Olbermann does not have a questional personal life or past. He seems like a wholesome American guy.

Now I am sure sure she is simply way too smart for any job, and Lapdog is a promotion. It appears she is clueless and simply trying to survive.

It's so easy to overturn this manure cart of an Administration with something as handy as, well, THE TRUTH. It's amazing to me that the other 100,000 US journalists don't or won't do it too. Not to mention that it looks like such great fun. "You can't keep the facts that support your prejudices and throw out the ones that destroy your theories" isn't only superbly written, it warrants inclusion in the Constitution and every Mission (Never Accomplished) Statement in the nation.

She may be pretty but not viable. She cannot get a stalled conference on the Middle East started, probably because other member states realize her lack of veracity, volition, or both in gaining any viable process underway. She is simply a waste of time to deal with. Kissinger at least offered money on his famous shuttle diplomacy endeavors, but Rice offers very little. Rice offers so little with respect to engaing diplomacy other than discussing her vanities of Prada shopping. The off ice has been vacant ever since Colin POwell's service. http://thenewshole.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/26/69738.aspx#70235Tue, 27 Feb 2007 16:56:37 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:70235Mohit, NCThanks you Keith for exposing our horridly ill informed and plainly stupid "S of S".

About your comment on Condi Rice. From my perspective Dr. Rice was rewriting history to gain support for the President's policy. This is not the first time I have seen this administration use this strategy. Unfortunaly, rewriting history can be effective. Thank you for setting the facts of history straight, and thank you for allowing me to vent my frustration over this travesty.

I believe the lack of good judgment will ultimately leave this country vulnerable. Comments like the one Dr. Rice made reinforce that idea, and are further, sad examples of where American politics are melting to. Have our politician's such little dignity left, that they feel it necessary to unfairly compare to save themselves? Apparently, it has been suggested so by the good doctor (Dr. Rice).http://thenewshole.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/26/69738.aspx#70297Tue, 27 Feb 2007 17:38:31 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:70297Bruce JacksonWow! So hard, so true! You know, one parallel I do find: Hitler was a failed artist and paperhanger before the putsch at Munich. The Weed we have for a failed president quite frankly did stock trades on barely legitimate (?) inside info (remember Harken Energy? People usually don't remember losers, individuals or corporations. The company, I believe, imploded shortly after the Weed's stock sale) and barely owned a baseball team before his questionable (remember Ann Richards?) business experience propelled him into the governorship of Texas ... and points beyond. Otherwise, Shrub is, quite frankly, unemployably worthless, even as a con artist we usually call salesmen. Never mind that he went to Bigwig U, otherwise known as Harvard Business School, for a suspect MBA ... after sequeing from an aborted career in the National Guard, which he used as a barely legitimate way to dodge the draft during Vietnam. Do you wonder why we heavily used the National Guard in Iraq? Really, do you wonder at all? As for me, not anymore. The real order of impeachment and removal, even after Cheney's close call, is still the VP first, then the Weed. http://thenewshole.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/26/69738.aspx#70323Tue, 27 Feb 2007 18:08:32 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:70323C A, Tuscaloosa, AL.I am appalled at the ignorance and the "our way or the highway" attitude of this administration. Why do we as Americans tolerate such abuse of power and lack of intelligence. I suppose, I fear, but I pray not because your average voter out there does not care. You know, you would think that if the President and Ms. Rice were going to get us into so many messes around the world they would first spend some time with some intelligent diverse people learning about the cultural and religious differences around the world. And how different peoples will respond differently under similar circumstances. Anyone with some sense and intelligence would have known we were not going to be seen as liberators in Iraq. This administration's biggest mistake, was assuming without a hint of hesitation that the people in Iraq would live up to this administration's expectations, when it is a given that the expectations of others are most often different than ours. Especially those who live in different countries and with different cultures. And when they (Bush and Rice)finally realized this (if in fact they have) they have become aghast because the majority of Iraqis will not do as they want. And now that they have found out that the Iraq people are not going to do as they expected they act like toddlers throwing tantrums and threatening even more people because they won't do as they should. And what is their strategy on fighting terrorism? Not seeking cooperation from others but threatening them as Cheney pulled off yesterday in Pakistan. I'm surprised Musharraf didn't tell Cheney to kiss his rear. Hell, let's just keep threatening everyone. Because damn it they won't do as we say and want. http://thenewshole.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/26/69738.aspx#70362Tue, 27 Feb 2007 18:40:04 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:70362Brad BourbinaI read this, and I had to laugh. It was a reaction that couldn't be helped. Please, allow me to explain. At 32, I've returned to college to earn my degree in Education with an emphasis on History/Government. If ever there was a string of events that would give me ammunition to defend the need to teach history, this administration has provided it. "Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it." The current administration (full disclosure: I voted for Bush in 2000 and 2004...and fully admit I learned from that history too late) is rife with those who not only didn't learn from history, but who don't even KNOW it! I'm continually amazed and angered to see the unabashed arrogance and revisionist views the key members of this President's cabinet continue to exhibit. GHW senior didn't go to Baghdad for a very good reason, and son would have done well to learn from father. Sometimes...well, I should say it doesn't even shock me to see quotes and assertions such as this anymore. It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury...but unfortunately, it signifies a great deal. It signifies an end to the white-hat image of the United States...an end to the "We'll stand up to anyone and stand up for the little guy" image we once carried. We are fast becoming the old soldier that never dies...We are Alexander, and soon we will weep as there will be no more [enemies] to conquer. Too poetic? Too mushy? Possibly, but ultimately true.http://thenewshole.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/02/26/69738.aspx#70387Tue, 27 Feb 2007 19:03:42 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:70387Sherri Eley LIma, OHIn Regards to the right wing radio wackos, Limbaugh and Hannity, I am sickened everytime I hear one of the callers to Hannity's show call him "A GREAT AMERICAN" And Limbaugh brag about his intelligence and ability to make the right call on everything.

Bush Jr. and his marching band have gone from "heroes" to "zeroes" in the last 4 years and it's all because of one word..."Truth". Whatever happened to speaking the truth? I voted for Bush, even though I didn't like him. I did so because he brought with him, a team that I trusted. While Iraq burned, he and his team fiddled. Colin Powell saw this coming and made his exit while he still had his honor. The rest of the team are so mired in manure, they will never smell any better, no matter where they go.
