Olbermann On Clinton Fox ordeal
Monday, October 30, 2006
The [United State's] freedoms are under assault by an administration whose policies can do us as much damage as Al-Qaeda; the nation's "marketplace of ideas" is being poisoned, by a propaganda company so blatant that Tokyo Rose would've quit.
Nonetheless... the headline is this: Bill Clinton did what almost none of us have done, in five years. He has spoken the truth about 9/11, and the current presidential administration.
Moreover, for the last five years one month and two weeks, the current administration, and in particular the President, has been given the greatest "pass" for incompetence and malfeasance, in American history!
[...]
To hear [Bush] bleat and whine and bully at nearly every opportunity, one would think someone else had been President on September 11th, 2001 -- or the nearly eight months that preceded it. That hardly reflects the honesty nor manliness we expect of the Executive.
I also find Olbermann's commentary on the Katrina fiasco last year refreshing:

- The Bush Administration did not try to get Osama Bin Laden before 9/11.
- The Bush Administration ignored all the evidence gathered by its predecessors.
- The Bush Administration did not understand the Daily Briefing entitled "Bin Laden Determined To Strike in U.S."
- The Bush Administration... did...not...try.
Moreover, for the last five years one month and two weeks, the current administration, and in particular the President, has been given the greatest "pass" for incompetence and malfeasance, in American history!
