Scotty's press conference on Olbermann --
It's a blood bath. The Press Corpse is rising from the dead! It's hilarious -- and Scotty (Baghdad Bob) is decompensating. They are all laughing at him.

20. I thought Scotty moved and sounded more like Bush today
than he ever has before. Do you suppose he got into the Boy King's stash?

14. it was excellent! I watched it live and in the last 5 minutes when
the mini melee started you could hardly make out what they were saying between the yelling at Scotty and the laughing at Scotty.

29. Ah, shades of Ron Ziegler...
...the former Disneyland tour guide turned Nixon press secretary, who gifted the world with the word "inoperative." Nostalgia ain't what it used to be!

3. That was so pathetic...
I almost felt bad for the corpulent, balding little nebbish. The reporters were just laughing at him by the end of it. I guess I feel sympathy for him because it would be pretty hard to come up with any defense for this administration's actions, which he couldn't.
Maybe a glass of beaujolais and a visit from Jeff Gannon/Gluckert will calm his nerves.

Either the net traffic to watch the carnage is too high, or the White House has arranged to have it sent down the memory hole. :shrug:

50. Then you MUST see the recording of his piece last night on the
"coincidences" of terror alerts and low political points for the Bush Administration. It was absolutely devasating. Look for the video links in late replies in this thread:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x5033592

Olbermann was the ONLY TV journalist to speak up for the "questionable" 2004 election. He's a worthy successor to his hero Murrow.

Edited on Thu Oct-13-05 07:24 PM by ocelot
because nothing has gone right since Bush refused to meet with her. And he also said "None of this would have happened if Karl Rove were still alive."

35. Milbank works for the Washington Post
He wrote a great column about Bush's body language during his Today Show interview w/ Matt Lauer. Link here:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/10/11/AR2005101101577.html

Oh, and Milbank has only recently become this bold in his criticism of Bush.

39. Okay, thanks!
The name was familiar but I didn't link it to WaPo...

I guess it's a good sign that he is getting bolder! I hope it is a trend!

I just posted a 'Cable Newbie' thread to get some tips on all these channels and shows. I like Olbermann already :)

said caused BushCo to completely fall apart.

along with the press. That's the impression I got.

26. This is the greatest
20 minutes and change into the KO show and it is one of the greatest things I have ever seen. KO is calling the Scotty press conference and the scripted abortion with the troops "twin trainwrecks." The Press Corps has finally grown some balls and now they are turning every Scotty conference into a mockery. Scotty is now waging faux attacks on the press and they are laughing at him. I know this is not news to most DUers who are much more positive than me, but watching Tweety and KO tonight...it just hit me...they are all cooked. Tweety said he has never seen so many high level operators under prosecution in all of his years...and KO is killing *. The house of cards is about to fall...the Makers and Coke is telling me that tonight, folks...book it.
