On Monday's Countdown, MSNBC host Keith Olbermann opened his show railing against President Bush, contending that the President "lied us into a war" and "needlessly killed 3,584 of our family and friends and neighbors" as the Countdown host attacked the President for commuting the sentence of Lewis "Scooter" Libby, referring to Libby's involvement in the "greatest crime of this young century." Olbermann later tagged Bush as "Worst Person in the World," and announced that he will call on President Bush and Vice President Cheney to resign in a "Special Comment" on Tuesday's show. Olbermann: "As you may have suspected, tomorrow night, here on Countdown, a 'Special Comment' calling on this Vice President and this President to resign."
Olbermann opened the July 2 show: "Good evening. A president who lied us into a war and, in so doing, needlessly killed 3,584 of our family and friends and neighbors; a president whose administration initially tried to destroy the first man to nail that lie; a president whose henchmen then ruined the career of the intelligence asset that was his wife when intelligence assets were never more essential to the viability of the republic; a president like that has tonight freed from the prospect of prison the only man ever to come to trial for one of the component felonies in what may be the greatest crime of this young century."
The MSNBC host soon brought aboard frequent guest and Bush administration critic John Dean for a discussion of the Libby case, during which Olbermann wondered if the President was moving closer to being impeached. Olbermann: "Is there, John, any sense that the chance that this President might be impeached grew tonight by virtue of his decision to commute this sentence?"
During the show's regular "Worst Person in the World" segment, Olbermann awarded the dishonor of "Worst Person" on President Bush, as he referred to Bush "gutlessly" announcing his decision by press release "buried on the Monday of the longest Fourth of July weekend possible," and charged that Bush has "forfeited his claim to being President of anything larger than a small, privileged, elitist, undemocratic, anti-constitutional cabal."
Quoting Oliver Cromwell, Olbermann addressed Bush: "Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go." Olbermann concluded by previewing the latest of his "Special Comment" rants, airing tomorrow, in which he will call on both the President and Vice President to resign. Olbermann: "As you may have suspected, tomorrow night, here on Countdown, a "Special Comment" calling on this Vice President and this President to resign. Tomorrow night on Countdown."
Below is a transcript of relevant portions of the Monday July 2 Countdown show on MSNBC:
KEITH OLBERMANN, opening the show: Good evening. A president who lied us into a war and, in so doing, needlessly killed 3,584 of our family and friends and neighbors; a president whose administration initially tried to destroy the first man to nail that lie; a president whose henchmen then ruined the career of the intelligence asset that was his wife when intelligence assets were never more essential to the viability of the republic; a president like that has tonight freed from the prospect of prison the only man ever to come to trial for one of the component felonies in what may be the greatest crime of this young century. Our fifth story on the Countdown, President George W. Bush has tonight, by means of a matter-of-fact prepared statement, commuted the prison sentence of Lewis "Scooter" Libby, former chief of staff to the infamous Vice President Dick Cheney."
...OLBERMANN, during interview with John Dean: Is there, John, any sense that the chance that this President might be impeached grew tonight by virtue of his decision to commute this sentence?
...
OLBERMANN, during "Worst Person" segment: But our winner, by unanimous decision, the 43rd President of the United States, who has tonight commuted the sentence of one of the key members of his own administration, who has done it gutlessly by press release, who has buried it on the Monday of the longest Fourth of July weekend possible, and who has, in so doing, forfeited his claim to being President of anything larger than a small, privileged, elitist, undemocratic, anti-constitutional cabal.
As Oliver Cromwell said to the infamous Rump Parliament in England more than 350 years ago, "You have sat too long for any good you have been doing lately. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you." In the name of God, go. George Walker Bush, today's "Worst Person in the World." As you may have suspected, tomorrow night, here on Countdown, a "Special Comment" calling on this Vice President and this President to resign. Tomorrow night on Countdown.

What was the lie? Truth is, there was no lie, and you know it. And this war is far from a disaster.
....firing US Attorneys if they refuse to pursue patently partisan cases,
Presidents have this authority. Bill Clinton fired 96 US attorneys for essentially the same reason.

Let me guess. Haliburton, Right? Which happens to be a company that has certain capabilities no one else has.
...outing a COVERT CIA officer,
Neither Mr. Bush, Mr. Cheney nor Mr. Libby outed Valerie Plame, who, by the way was not a covert agent at the time. Richard Armitage is the leaker here. But as she was not covert, it doesn't matter, anyway.
illegally wiretapping AMERICANS.
You mean spying on potential terrorists who are communicating with other potential terrorists overseas? Whose side are you on, Osama's?
Now, if you really want to know about the federal government illegally gathering info on Americans, go look up Carnivore & Echelon.
TORTURING prisoners
No one was tortured, as far as I have seen. Aggressive interrogation is not torture.
suspending HABEAS CORPUS
That is not even worth the effort to respond.

July 2, 2007 - 23:21 ET by stratman"...giving no-bid contracts to political cronies,

To be fair, no-bid contracts have been awarded to Halliburton by the administrations of Lyndon Baines Johnson (D) to George W. Bush (R) and every other president inbetween (not sure about Gerald Ford). Yes, every Democrat President since LBJ. Why? Because Halliburton, a known performer going back to WWII and even with JFK in Vietnam, was or is either the only companny capable of performing the required services, especially in war zones, or was one of only a couple that could.
Anyone remember the last time the anti-Bush, anti-Halliburton folks talking about Kennedy, LBJ, Carter and Clinton's relationships with Halliburton?
The Greatest Crimes of Presid
July 2, 2007 - 22:09 ET by alamojbThe Greatest Crimes of President Bush are (1) Not securing our Southern Border. (2) Not pushing to have America adapt Mexican Immigration Laws, which include such things as making Illegal Immigration a Felony and requires that all local Law enforcement assist the Federales in pursuit of such trespassers. I am "Multicultural", I believe we should learn form our neighbors when they are successful. (3) Signing the SPP. (4) Not going after employers who hire illegals and Sanctuary cities. (5) Not pushing legislation which would ban subversive, pro secessionist organization such as MEChA from operating on high school and college campuses that receive federal funding. (6) Not using the "Bully Pulpit" of the Presidency to call out political leaders on the carpet who are members of MEChA, exposing these traitors to the whole nation. America is home to many races, but those individuals who are American citizens who join organizations that are intent on dividing it up are traitors.

July 2, 2007 - 21:58 ET by waka wakaHey dumb@$$,
Armitage DID NOT COMMIT PERJURY! Libby did commit perjury. You know, that heinous crime that Clinton "deserved" to be impeached over?
And Armitage did not obstruct justice. He told the truth to Fitz because he had nothing to hide. Armitage is a shameless gossip. He's obviously not a "Bushie" and wants nothing to do with this cowardly crime.
Armitage did not embark on a campaign to punish Wilson and his wife. He was gossiping and fessed up to it as soon as he was asked because he had nothing to hide -- unlike Libby.
Hmmmm, I wonder why.
Armitage and Libby are on two separate tracks. One's criminal, one's careless. Capiche?

Bush should have pardoned him outright.

The crime to be investigated
July 2, 2007 - 22:11 ET by waka wakaThe crime to be investigated was the crime of KNOWINGLY divulging the identity of a covert officer. Armitage did not know what he was doing when he gossiped and fessed up when he realized he might have been the source of Novak's article.
Libby lied about how he even found out about Plame's identity. Fitzgerald tried to figure out why. He couldn't do that because Libby kept lying. So Fitz (Bush appointee) prosecuted him for throwing dirt in the umpire's eyes. Because Libby blinded the umpire is the reason no one was charged with "outing a CIA officer," not because there was no crime. That question has never been answered -- because of Libby's lies. Got it?

What you conveniently fail to acknowledge time and time again is the Novak article was the reason for the investigation in the first place, leading to allegations that the Bush administration intentionally leaked Plame's identity to Novak in retaliation. Fitzgerald knew almost from day one that Armitage, not some Bush crony, was Novak's source. That should have been the end of it. But it wasn't. Somebody had to pay, and by golly, someone was gonna pay, even if it was for a process crime over not knowing exactly who told you first a meaningless piece of information 2 1/2-3 years ago.
And we won't even get into those members of the jury who implied that somebody had to pay for the evils of Bush and Cheney, and that Libby was that somebody.
Pretty funny though how you feel Armitage didn't know what he was doing. What, was he drunk at the time or something?

Why? CAUSE SHE WASN'T A COVERT AGENT AT THE TIME!!!!!!!!!!
That has been answered by the special prosecutor in statements outside the courthouse after the trial when he said there was no crime to that extent. A fact you obviously overlook.

(Senate Hearings) Plame said she wasn't a lawyer and didn't know what her legal status was when asked, but said it shouldn't have mattered to the officials who learned her identity.
"They all knew that I worked with the CIA," Plame said. "They might not have known what my status was (she sure as hell didn't) but that alone - the fact that I worked for the CIA - should have put up a red flag." (or put on dark sunglasses for a photo op)
Wow, she was sooooo "covert" she didn't even know.....what an asshat....
Double O Plame lived such a secret life that when she and her husband, former ambassador Joe Wilson, appeared in a photo spread in Vanity Fair magazine, she was compelled by CIA covert spy protocol to wear dark sunglasses......ooooooo spooky.....

Bullies like this who rape people's lives need to not only be disbarred, but Fitzgerald needs to be tried under the Patriot Act for terrorism against a United States citizen.

Presidents are given the power of the pardon. Bush pardoned Libby for lying under oath. Clinton pardoned legions of the scum of the earth for some bad crimes, including especially a big time scummy thief to get his wife some votes.
Olbermann has lost all perspective.
Commutation, not pardon
July 2, 2007 - 23:33 ET by nkviking75Dahlia, strictly speaking, it wasn't a pardon. Bush commuted Libby's sentence. In this case, that means Bush took away the jail time, but left the conviction on his record and left him liable for the fine. My theory is that Bush thinks Libby will win on appeal, allowing him to clear his name. I also speculate that Bush thought it was wrong for Libby to sit in jail during the appeals process. Bush also said the sentence was harsher than it should have been. I think Libby deserved a pardon, but if Libby can win his appeals, it will be harder for libs to carp about that. Not that it'll stop them.

Thank you for clarifying. T
July 3, 2007 - 00:21 ET by dahliatraversThank you for clarifying. There's a significant difference.
Why on earth did the judge want Libby to sit in jail while his appeal was heard? He could have done much if not all of his sentence by the time the process was complete.
Here is Christopher Hitchens take on the case against Libby, pre-commute of sentence.

I know I posted this up above, but it fits so well here, and I do believe it's worth repeating. ;-)
As an aside: can you believe he is announcing ahead of time what the next day's "special comment" will be??? (Ladies and Gentlemen, tomorrow night, in a very special "special comment", I will call upon President Bush and Vice President Cheney to resign.") What's next: trailers???
The man suffers from delusions of grandeur.

July 2, 2007 - 23:15 ET by KC MulvilleI certainly don't take him seriously. But I just find it hilarious that he tried to set up tomorrow night's Special Comment (as if we were all waiting with hope and adoration) by telling us exactly what he was going to say.
If we already know what he's going to say ... why tune in? For the magic of the moment? Buwahahahahaha

Hey Keith, these brave men and women have more guts and stamina than you will ever have. They are only your "friends, family and neighbors," when you have a friggin' political statement to make for your phony news network, every other waking moment of the day, they are evil puppets who "terrorize women and children in the dark of night." Why don't you idiots make up your mind about who our soldiers are and then put together a news story that makes sense!!!!
Olbermann is guilty
July 2, 2007 - 22:54 ET by nkviking75There's probably a better case for convicting Olbermann for treason and having brought before a firing squad than there is a case that Bush and Cheney should resign. OIbermann has relentless pressed the case of the looniest fringe of the lefty spin machine, and he's played into the hands of the terrorists' propaganda. He's helped undermine public support with his repeated lies. Because public support has eroded, the terrorists in Iraq press on, biding their time until what they believe is our inevitable retreat with our collective tail between our legs. I think ol' Keef and his ilk have some of that American blood on their hands.

July 3, 2007 - 01:52 ET by ckc1227"Wow, so Keith will deliver a Special Comment tomorrow night calling for the resignation of Bush and Cheney."
So they're airing a repeat tomorrow?
Even the Jurors....
July 2, 2007 - 23:29 ET by SlyrrDoes no one remember? Even the jurors who found Libby 'guilty' said they didn't really WANT to find him guilty. They admitted, and I believe it's still on tape, that the person they were 'really' after was Karl Rove.
They proved, time and time again, that the entire trial was a farce conducted by yet another rogue liberal prosecutor who wanted nothing more than to get someone - ANYONE - from the Bush administration so he could have his liberal buddies say, 'look how corrupt BUSH is.'
They went for Cheney first - then Rove. Then when it was proven beyond a doubt that Richard Armitage, a liberal pressman, was the one who 'leaked' Plame's name - they started going after people a little lower on the totem pole.
These liberal newscasters, 9 out of 10 of whom have been proven to be card-carrying liberal democrats who say during elections that their bias will 'be worth 15 points' for Kerry, are the real traitors. They've betrayed their journalistic integrity, betrayed the American people, betrayed our fighting forces by siding with the enemy, betrayed our country in a time a war. Everything they do is traitorous.
One can't help wonder what they're really fighting for. Do they really think they're helping the country by pimping terrorists and dissing our troops? Do they really think that demading that Bush/Cheney resign will accomplish anything?
I call on the liberal media to resign - NOW. I call on them to fall on their knees and beg for mercy and forgiveness from the american people who they've betrayed. They ceased to be a 'free press' ages ago. Now they're nothing but the hired thugs of socialist agitators and terrorists.
They're fighting vainly to hold onto the feeble scraps of the mighty monopoly they once held, and they're failing miserably. Every week they see their ratings sinking lower and lower, but they refuse to examine themselves and ask - why? It's reports like this - 'newscasters' like this - that are causing their rapid descent into madness and failure.
They failed to get the Amnesty bill passed - despite the fact that all these 'news' reporters were pimping it like crazy. The people rose up and stamped it out. And despite their braying in the feild like the donkeys they are, Bush will not be impeached.
Any attempt they make to re-examine the Libby trial will only explose the liberal media's own duplicity and corruption. It was THEY who outled Plame. It was they who demanded a trial. And in the end, they are the ones who will squirm under the spotlight of truth.
Even the freakin' JURORS admitted that they didn't think Libby did anything wrong. They admitted what the liberal media wanted all along was Bush's head. And predictable old K.O. has just laid his bias out on the table again. Does he REALLY want people to be reminded who REALLY lied to the american people? Was it not the prosecutor - who DENIED the admission of testimony into the trial from several key witnesses who proved that Libby was innocent and the so-called 'witnesses' against Libby had memory that was just as 'faulty'?
Bring it on K.O. You'll only expose yourself as the fraud you are - again - like you do every evening on national TV.

July 3, 2007 - 02:11 ET by Bobby JerseySo to Ubermann, if the Prez lied us into a war, and HE "killed" thousands of our soldiers, then outing a liberal to a journalist "might be the greatest crime of our young century"? He does not even take into account the murders that happened on Sept 11, beheading of innocents like Nick Berg and others, and the bombings that have happened in Spain, Great Britian, and Bali.
This just shows how being a liberal is a mental disorder.
