olbermann on today's election

Vote 411 : Election Protection 365 : Veek the Vote : Video the Vote

Olbermann provides one more special comment before today's mid-term election, video via of Crooks & Liars course. As I mentioned before, Keith joined in on last week's FDL Book Salon, in which he mentioned a possible future book of special comments & even former ambassador/Bushworld pariah Joe Wilson joined in on the conversation. It's a little messy, but worth a look. And do that voting thing, btw.

MP3 Pavement - "Rattled By The Rush"
MP3 Pavement - "Heckler Spray/In the Mouth of a Desert" (4.21.94)
On your way back from voting today, go pick up the new Pavement re-issue, Wowee Zowee: Sordid Sentinels Edition. MP3's courtesy of Matador.

Let's throw the bums out. Haven't we all had enough?

ETA: Track tonite's results online at Talking Points Memo's Election Central.

olbermann on apologizing

Part One

Part Two

Once again, Countdown's Keith Olbermann is right on target with his latest special comment, regarding Senator John Kerry's recent botched attempt at humor & the media firestorm that has blown it all out of proportion. John Amato's Crooks & Liars has the video as-per-usual, just as it did last week for Keith's previous special comment, on the GOP's advertising terrorism during this campaign season. KO fans might want to check in Sunday (or is it Friday?) for week two of Firedoglake's Book Salon, where the MSNBC anchor will be joining in to discuss his book The Worst Person in the World (based on the regular Countdown segment).

And on Tuesday, be sure to vote. Need a reason? Read Matt Taibbi.

MP3 Hüsker Dü - "I Apologize"
From local legends Hüsker Dü's 1985 album New Day Rising.

MP3 Gram Rabbit - "Sorry"
From Gram Rabbit's latest release, Cultivation.

MP3 Billy Bragg & Wilco - "Christ For President"
From 1998's Billy Bragg/Wilco collaboration, Mermaid Avenue (Vol 1).

BTW: Didya know Billy Bragg has a blog? And doncha just love alliteration?

Before yesterday's statement of apology to any military personnel or their families that might have misundterstood the Senator's comments (after being amplified & distorted through the right wing noise machine), Kerry gave a gutsy, more in-your-face response to the media on Tuesday that actually made me proud to have voted for the man in 2004. In case you missed it:

On an actual humorous note, zefrank chastised Kerry yesterday for botching such an easy joke, and possibly calls ~~him~~ somebody a "stupid chicken" in the process. Or something like that. It made sense when I watched it, anyway.

olbermann on habeas schmabeas

olbermann on clinton interview

Yowza.

Keith makes the (IMO warranted) leap to shrill speed with his latest special comment (which only seem to get longer & more ferocious the more he does them). Video via Crooks & Liars, YouTube embed via Church Committee.

Yes, our "tone should be crazed" at this point. Whew. More later, I gotta run...

olbermann: bush owes an apology

Yes, another Keith Olbermann special comment, and a damn good one at that. With the President trying to debate torture & the "vague"ness of "human dignity," how can I not post this kind of forceful & vital rebuttal? Video via Crooks & Liars as-per-usual, YouTube embed via 21st Century Church Committee.
