What? Olberman is just the mirror of Rush. They both have a vein of

I can't stand more than a minute of either of them.

It's pretty easy to find the many and ongoing lies told by Rush. Feel free
to point out a lie Olbermann told.

I don't watch him enough to find a recent example but when I do I
usually find something misrepresented at least once a show.

Like?


I certainly understand people not wanting to listen to either, but you
can't
seriously claim that they're similar.


The only reason you say that is because he says things you agree with,
same for Rush and his listeners.

No. I say that because one lies on a regular basis. The other doesn't lie,
and he corrects his mistakes.



They are both loony tunes, unless you think the SCOTUS is corrupt and
if that is true we are in big trouble.

Neither Obama nor Bush are crazy. Maybe crazy like a fox. SCOTUS made a
major mistake and basically acknowledged as much in their ruling, saying
"this is our decision, but don't use it as precedence." I'm not sure I'd
go
so far as to say they're corrupt as a body, but some on the court are
flirting with ethical problems.. Scalia (whom I respect for his intellect)
and Thomas, who's wife is knee deep in right-wing politics. Many
opportunities for a serious conflict of interest.

I think there may have been a desire to bring that mess to a close ...
before we had President Strom Thurmond. The speaker (Hastert) said he
would not take the job so Strom was going to be our guy on Jan 20.
It was clear that without some decisive action, the lawyers could have
kept the dueling law suits going on that long ... assuming the Senate
didn't do something even more troubling when it came time to poll the
EC.
