Have you stopped having spy wives?

Are you a Kerry supporter?

Why do you speak when everyone knows you are a Kerry supporter? Only Bush supporters may speak.

5. Yes, please give us more info, had to give up cable 1.5 yrs ago

8. I thought he said THREE PAGES
of questions. You know they do this to the assholes at Faux and CNN too, but those jackasses are too spineless to ever mention the WH attack by proxy schtick.

15. First time I have ever seen this!
WH demanded he call the WH to discuss Wilson's appearance. Good for Olbermann for making it public.

The insanity never ends.

10. Olbermann has a lot of courage...
His program is the best news show on television. I don't think that many producers would have the guts to air memos that they received from the White House. I love his reporting.

25. I want to believe he read the email I sent him last night about
my fear that he was becoming just an other talking head, just an other media whore for the BFEE. I was real unhappy with his treatment of Kerry last night. It leaning toward typical CNN, Wapo, New York Times, Whore media for Bush stuff.

But, tonight, Keith did what all media whores wish they could or had the BALLS to do. He stuck it to the Bush Family Whorehouse at 1600 PA Ave by waving in the camera their so called talking points (persuasion points)in an attempt to manipulate his show. Can't wait for a transcript.

Be sure to be critical as Keith last night, really did Kerry a dis service last night. He was following the typical Media Whore line of well, you know, but do give him great credit from slapping the White(wash)house on their so called "suggested talking points" to his show. He did a great thing tonight by exposing how the whitehouse controls the media, thus we have the WHORE MEDIA.

21. LOL,Olberman HAS got to go....
Really,how long is MSNBC going to allow Olberman to not bow down nightly and lick the RW boots of George Bush and his thug administration???

His ratings must be high enough to sustain life otherwise he'd be history.

GO KEITH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
