Olbermann slams Ingraham

The segment started out focusing on Bush and his "attacking the messenger" strategy, but it shifted to Laura Ingraham after she went on "The Today Show" and O'Reilly, blasting the media.

Keith said: "A note about Laura Ingram's comments. I've known her a long time. I'll in fact give you the caveat that I've know her socially. But that hotel balcony crack was unforgivable. In was unforgivable to the memory of David Bloom, it was unforgivable in considerable of Bob Woodruff and Doug Vought, unforgivable in light of what happened to Michael Kelly and what happened to Michael Weiskopft. It was unforgivable with Jill Carroll still a hostage in Iraq. And it was not only unforgivable of her; it was desperate and it was stupid."

Laura seems to have forgotten that some eighty journalists have been killed in Iraq.

Bet she kept her ass in the Green Zone or on some "safe" military dog and pony show. Note they ferried the journalist around in "Rhinos" which are the safest vehicles in Iraq. Troops don't get Rhinos. Hell we all know the troops didn't even get up-armored Humvees till recently.

:puke: alert

Laura's Iraq Journal
Day 6: Feb. 10th, 2006
We arrived via "RHINO" (a.k.a. armored Winnebago with military escorts) back at Camp Victory at 0300--actually, at a waiting area on Camp Stryker. Our ride finally picked us up for the short ride to our trailers where we had left all our stuff two days earlier. Given how many of our troops live on some of the more remove FOBs (forward operating bases), I felt fortunate to be temporary "trailer trash" in Iraq. Having a bathroom inside the trailer was a luxury--but no one told me I needed to bring a towel too. I'll remember next time. At 0400 I was still tossing and turning in my sleeping bag, thinking of the week so far, trying to file away my thoughts and impressions.
I thought about the thousands of soldiers, Marines, Air Force, Navy, National Guardsmen and reservists who were fanned out across this small country, each with his or her own story. I thought of the young men and women on the late shifts--maintaining vehicles, checking flight gear, manning check points. I thought about the families back home who also spent sleepless nights worrying or mourning. I thought about the wounded--physically and emotionally. God please comfort them.

Finally the week had caught up with me--we blew off the early part of the morning schedule and were picked up for our visit with the 1st Brigade Combat Team/10th Mtn Division. They pride themselves on being "the most deployed" group in the Army. If you ever go to Vail, Colorado, you'll see the cool statue downtown honoring the 10th Mtn, which was started there (on wooden skis, of course). The 10th is also part of the group training Iraqi forces. Lt. Col. Mark Samson, 3rd Brigade Military Training Team Chief and Lt. Col. Brian Drinkwine (Dep Commander 10th Mtn and West Point '86) gave us great briefings on the progress so far. Iraqi forces are gradually taking over the battle space from American forces--moving west across Iraq. Two sectors out of give in country are now operated by Iraqi forces. They are getting their own up-armored Humvees, better equipment, and already have great new uniforms (important for morale).

I met and interviewed one man--Rockwell--nicknamed "Rocky", who at 60 years old came back to the 10th Mtn in a civilian capacity. He was a Vietnam vet--a lot are in Iraq, btw--and totally passionate about the mission. Rocky (whom I insisted on calling "Woody") is also very funny--the kind of guy you want to have a beer with. I just knew he had great war stories to tell. Then there was Master Sgt Thomas Sanchez, another star, who showed me the progress that had been made on everything from sleeping quarters for Iraqi soldiers to their working relationship with the U.S. Army.

It was off to the range to shoot some great guns--the AK-47 (full auto of course), the Berretta M9 and the M4. I actually went to see that the paper target was hit several times--chest and stomach mostly, with a few dead stones from my dirt shots. I am right-handed but shoot left-handed. TMI!

another great piece!
:kick:

...an epiphany for her. She's still as mindlessly evil as she ever was. I'm thinking MK Ultra, brain probes, etc. Just look at all of their eyes, over there in Neocon/GOP land. So many of them have one significantly droopy eye socket. Usually, it's the right eye.

:tinfoilhat:

I think what happens to a person, is when they lie for so many years, they literally become "two-faced".

her out publicly (and harshly) on this one.

I have never been able to stomach that woman.

Bill O'Reilly was on there at one point!

I noticed it last night on Olbermann. The clips of both of her NBC bashing appearances show a most peculiar hair cut. She has really gone over the edge and will not be crawling back up. :eyes:

Isn't she being treated for cancer?

Honest. In that context, what a tacky thing to say. She, however, is still as snarky and evil as ever, appearance aside.

He is the only one I watch on cable news. I turn to DU, KO, Daily Show, and Colbert for my news. Olberman ends his shows by saying Good night and good luck and giving some stats about Iraq or bin Laden. Great stuff!
