LOL, Olberman just put the "ic" back in democratic (blog entry)
"As to the audit of the perception of conflict of interest in Blackwell’s other role as Honorary Co-Chair of the Bush-Cheney Ohio Campaign, he seemed less definitive. “We have a bi-partisan system in Ohio where the Hamilton County Chairman of the board of elections, Tim Burke, is also the Democrat chairman of the Democrat party in that county.” I’ll pause the quote here to note that said party does business as the DemocratIC Party and the Republicans’ obsession with that little ‘ic’ has always seemed peevish to me, even when it’s coming out of John McCain’s mouth. Blackwell continued: “The same for Dayton. The Democrat Chairman is the Chairman of the Board of Elections in Montgomery County.”

2. yes, but I hope he knows
how evil these folks are that he's dealing with.

The whole blog tonight was absolutely excellent, If we had one each of him on the majors, and one on the two other cable stations we could rock.

3. too bad he couldn't take over on CBS - except they probably wouldn't
allow him the range of movement he enjoys on msnbc plus I don't know if the cbs audience would find him too much to handle! I'd just like to see him unleashed on the greater viewing audience, the msm viewers.

6. Keith was great!!! And Blackwell won't recuse himself either!!!
The fear of Jessie Jackson is people going to the streets protesting and a national strike would just get Bush & company a real big headache!!!

7. Thank God somebody put the 'ic' back
in Democratic. When somebody says Democrat party it's like fingernails scratching a blackboard to my eardrums.

8. Nah, let them keep it up. It shows them for what they are.

They hate democracy so much that they refuse to even use the word "democratic".

In the poker world, they call this a "tell". A big, whopping, jaw-droppingly obvious tell, at that.

10. When I first caught his show...
...soon after it started, I wrote him to express my approval and hopes. He wrote back that if it was demonstrated to MSNBC that he had viewership, he'd be given more editorial control over his content. So three cheers for KO.
