I am so glad this guy will be gone shortly after the Comcast deal is done.

To the question about whether someone would make a joke about something that sickened them, well, the answer is yes. Comedians do it all the time. It’s a way to ease pain or confusion. To be honest, I thought it was actually kind of funny and wasn’t angry or offended by the joke. I guess I look at comedy differently. And Olbermann was a bit off base on this one, I mean, he makes jokes all the time about subjects that sicken him, doesn’t he?

Really?

Even you guys on the left have to be cringing over this imbecile.

oh fer crying out loud.

Bathtub Boy is a vintage shithead… FART!

It would have been funny, except for the fact that probably at the moment he was a big hit with that joke, there were soldiers there fighting and dying for that very reason that he used to invade that country. If it was just the UN going to look and not finding them, it would have been hysterical.

people should make jokes about things that sicken them?
yeah, a good rape joke is always at hit at parties.
boy, when i first heard the joke about lying to make the case of going to war leading to the death of thousands i had milk coming out of my nose.

why would bush leave after the comcast deal?

This tired old argument again? Yawn. Why doesn’t Olberdork play all the clips of Clinton, Reid, or Gore stating THE EXACT SAME CONCERN Bush had. I do think that his father letting Sadam get away affected his decision but, THERE WAS EVIDENCE FOR CONCERN. There has never been one shred of evidence that Bush lied.
This argument really tells more than what side you are on. It actually displays whether you live in the real world or imagination-land.

Uh you’d think the right would cringe that they caused the deaths of 100,000 iraqi’s by supporting a war we never had to go into.

On top of that, more troops have died than people that died on 9/11.

Also there have been around 20,000 troop suicide.

Afghanistan is messed up now, Iraq is messed up now, AMERICA is in a depression…

and it’s all thanks to the pathetic whiny baby republicans that were so afwaid of the scawy muswims, that they decided that the government could have free reign.

Republicans are like goldfish, they forget things after a few min. Dumb dumb dumb… *sigh* Instead of caring that our president tortured people and went to war on false evidence, you get mad at this stupid tv host. Say a lot about your priorities Republicans…. apparently the truth does not matter to you folk.

Will Ted Rall be on Olby ‘ s list ? Devastating critique by an ultra liberal .

20000 troop suicides?

Gee, if he’s mad at Bush, here’s a whole list of Democrats that he (or someone) could make “Worst Person of the ….”:

It’s some sweet quotes from liberals about WMD. But we never hear about these because the liberals in the media keep it all covered up.

dont make shit up jon

Fact: The lunatics are taking over the asylum at MSMBC!

Someone needs to ask Bush pertinent questions in these softball rehabilitation interviews, for example:

Who kept putting the infamous thirteen words back into his speech before the U.N. that George Tenant had removed, and if George’s Medal of Freedom bought his silence?

Or why Cheney made an unprecedented dozen trips to Langley in the buildup to the war – pressuring analysts or what?

Why was Doug Feith and his assistants installed at the Defense Department besides to stovepipe intelligence to Cheney’s office and bypass the uncooperative CIA, who expressed serious reservations about everything from mushroom clouds to aluminum tubes to meetings in Prague?

“The decision to go to war has been made and the intelligence was being fixed around the policy”, or the August 6 PDB titled “Bin Laden determined to strike in the U.S. – where are those questions from these tongue bath interviews?

It doesn’t matter who said what about it.”W” was commander and cheif the decision was his so the blame will be his to own also.

You mean the words that were true? http://www.factcheck.org/article222.html

You liberals just blindly believe what you are told and then you never go back to check or alter your opinion based on new information.

BTW, it is 16 words.

Reminds me of the couple times my 16 year old son screwed up and tried to joke his way out of it. Didn’t cut it with him, don’t cut it with W either.

Last time I looked up the meaning of war, no where did it say comedic joke.

But Bush was right. You lefty’s keep thinking he lied, but he didn’t. Plus, results have been very good. It’s too bad Obama is squandering the successes there. He could be using the successes to persuade some of the other countries to shape up – like Libya did with it’s nukes.

It just amazes me about how backwards and wrong liberals are – and you guys claim to be smart!

Thanks! It is sixteen now that you mention it, and no, they were proven unequivocally untrue by multiple parties before we invaded anyway. Keeping up with all the criminality of Republican administrations from Nixon to Reagan to Bush II is exhausting work!

From a final 2007 Washington Post report, a paper who’s editorial board continually served as a conveyorbelt of pro-war neocon war mongering while their news pages, along with Knight-Ridder, et al, debunked the Bush/Cheney lies almost daily.

“Dozens of interviews with current and former intelligence officials and policymakers in the United States, Britain, France and Italy show that the Bush administration disregarded key information available at the time showing that the Iraq-Niger claim was highly questionable.

In February 2002, the CIA received the verbatim text of one of the documents, filled with errors easily identifiable through a simple Internet search, the interviews show. Many low- and mid-level intelligence officials were already skeptical that Iraq was in pursuit of nuclear weapons.

The interviews also showed that France, berated by the Bush administration for opposing the Iraq war, honored a U.S. intelligence request to investigate the uranium claim. It determined that its former colony had not sold uranium to Iraq.

Burba, who had no special expertise in Africa or nuclear technology, was able to quickly unravel the fraud. Yet the claims clung to life within the Bush administration for months, eventually finding their way into the State of the Union address.”

“CIA Director George J. Tenet had vetted the text of Bush’s speech and was able to persuade the White House to drop one questionable claim: that Iraq was seeking uranium in Africa. The information was too fishy, Tenet explained to the National Security Council and Bush’s speechwriters.”

“Five months later, on March 7, 2003, as preparations for the Iraq invasion were in their final stages, the director of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Mohamed ElBaradei, told the U.N. Security Council that the report that Iraq had been shopping for uranium in Niger was based on forged documents. The agency had received the document from the United States a few weeks earlier.”

But then Republican apologists must continue covering the deliberate lies because to do otherwise implicates Republican war mongers and weak Democrats in what history will show to be the war crime of the 21st century.

Historical revisionism on steroids is what we face and must reject now.

Come on, SIDNEY BLUMENTHAL is not interested in the truth.

Also, did ALL of these people lie too? http://www.snopes.com/politics/war/wmdquotes.asp

Or were mistakes made?

REGARDLESS, the WMD issus was one of a few that Bush talked about. The LIBERALS ignore the other information.

Bush said we went in to Iraq because of terrorism, not 9/11, but because of Sadaam’s efforts of terror – which we all know is true.

The singular attacks from the liberals on Bush regarding WMD are childish when you look how the liberals ignore what the Democrats said.

You guys who are arguing about WMD can’t make any headway when you ignore so much other information.

KO ends “WPIW.” Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, KO caught lying again.

LOL

All five people in Keith’s audience applauded the return of his worst persons bit.

I’m sure we all know Sadaam was a bad guy, but the fact remains, according to President George W. Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair, the reasons for the invasion were “to disarm Iraq of weapons of mass destruction, to end Saddam Hussein’s alleged support for terrorism, and to free the Iraqi people.

…and many people, including many Democrats, thought Sadaam had more of those types of weapons:

See, there is a difference between lying and just being wrong.

What’s worse is how liberals hang on to the notion that Bush must have lied that they will not give an inch to helping the Iraqi’s. So strong is the hatred for Bush, that the liberals did nothing to support our efforts and really, they worked to thwart our efforts.

I think the Liberals are the bigger problem.

Someone’s confused about the liars and the lied to.

Yea, I think Martel pegged this right… Bring back your villian and it’s easy to become a hero once again…

Olbermann knows his fanbase hates Bush, and when the WMD blast from the past re-emerges, it’s the perfect opportunity to try to reconnect. Classic. Isn’t there a movie based on this same theme???

I think Keith Olbermann’s World’s Worsts’ Person’s Award should be changed to The World’s Most Dangerous Situation’s Award. This way, he could pick out a situation that everyone know just who is associated with it and present his evaluations of it. This would have more possibilities then the title he is using now, such as a person, place or thing. Keith is good at describing situations and people. Again, it would have much more far reaching possibilities to elaborate on.
