You know, since the primaries started KO has really been huffing and puffing and blowing it out his ass. I know there are a lot of KO fans out there, but this guy has started to believe his press clippings.

As for her explanation, it wasn't an apology at all. It was an I-didn't-mean-it-in-a-way-for-you-to-be-offended non-apology.

Tomorrow she will no doubt have a much better apology that will actually use the word "apologize" or "sorry".

It was a huge blunder.

I'm not holding my breath for a better apology tomorrow though. That just doesn't seem her style.

Remember, she still has yet to issue a true apology for her vote for the Iraq war.

:cry:

What a waste of hot air. Yeah, she blew it Keith, and probably her nomination with it. But your point ran out of steam after about one minute. Let's move on to let's see...an issue, f'rinstance?

FoxNews seems to like Clinton well enough, and she likes them.

:party: Go team! :party:

go. KO, whether you are for him or against him is never fearful of the truth. Journalism at its best.

it's punditry.

I don't mean that as an insult - pundits have their place - but Olberman has lost all claim to being a journalist these last few months.

He used to be on Sportscentre for god's sake.

which is why I made that comment

Those of us who worked for RFK know that the assassination occurred on the night that Bobby
won the nomination and the presidency, at least in the minds of politicos in the campaign.

For Hillary to say this is to say that the nomination was decided that night! That is the real implication of the comment.

Now, here is something that would merit your vehemence. CNN showed Barack Obam in a crosshairs, not once but twice in the same
Headline News segment. I witnessed it and posted a thread because I reacted as KO reacts in this video. What happened?

CNN: Right NOW, just showed OBAMA in crosshairs picture, NOW showing it again

It sunk like lead. So, it is okay to show Obama in crosshairs, but we cannot mention that RFK was murdered? Illogical and scary even.

Let us begin that dialogue about political assassination, albeit 40 years too late!!

But, give people a chance to bash a DEM, and it is a real story??
Shame on you Keith. Worse person, May 23, 2008!

on the "push Clinton out now or we're all screwed" theory. For that matter she probably sold a lot of people on it. Might explain some of the tempest in a teacup.

All we need, some (wing)nutjob to go postal.

I don't blame KO his rant at all. Tell it like it is yo'.

(edit: shit, too late to k/r)

She needs to be shoved out the door over this shit!
Last straw, witch!

:kick:



(but hey ... you give witches the world over a bad rap by portraying her-lowness as such)

:toast:
