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.

...lying the country into a disastrous war...
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.
You are of insufficient intellect to be on this site, as you apparently have the mental abilities of an ten-year old. Come back when you have completed the sixth-grade. Hell, at least then you will be as smart as Jethro Bodine, especially if you pass the grade twice, as did he.

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.

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?

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.

July 3, 2007 - 08:40 ET by Sua Sponte 75Let's settle this by letting Double O Plame answer.......
(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.
President Bush did not go far enough. He should have pardoned Mr. Libby and then provided him the full weight of Justice to sue Mr. Fitzgerald for his witch hunt.

July 2, 2007 - 23:26 ET by dahliatraversExactly.
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.
When you put the clowns in charge, don't be surprised when a circus breaks out.
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.

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.

JMR
You are correct. The standard
July 3, 2007 - 03:13 ET by Bobby JerseyYou are correct. The standards have been lowered by the drive bye's. It basically goes like this: pardoning tax evaders, drug dealers, Dem politicians good: Any Conservative bad. One question for the libs in the drive by media, did the liberal base get "angry" when Clinton made his pardons?
First of all, yes, his base
July 3, 2007 - 03:21 ET by sarcasmoFirst of all, yes, his base got pissed with some of Slick's pardons. Hell, a tax-evader felon on the run named Mark Rich gets a full pardon from a Democrat President?? Yeah, you could say they were pissed-off, but (exactly like conservatives with Bush after he's slapped 'em around like a beaten wife with his support of Scamnesty) they came right back for more. And I didn't say "any conservative bad," but any of 'em that lies about me instantly gets LESS credibility than Balboa, who at least tells the truth when it comes to sarcasmo WAY the hell better than a string of conservatives losing the tax and spend drugwar debate, who apparently must resort to lies because they've run out of logic and refuse to admit it.

I was and am merely making my usual bipartisan slams, the left and the right get occasional rough treatment -- often on the same thread -- from this particular libertarian. I don't take too kindly to lying about me, no matter the partisan bent of the liar, and at least in the tax and spend drugwar debate, various "conservative" losers here have been CONTINUALLY trying to lie about me. It doesn't exactly engender high levels of respect from yours truly...And I'm sure you can search "Mark Rich Pardon" and find yourself some principled Democrat outrage.

July 3, 2007 - 04:05 ET by Bobby JerseyOkay sar. I read the links that you supplied on your first comment. I was NOT calling you a liar. I am simply saying the MSM, like Ubermann, takes it to extremes when it comes to conservatives and THEY did not show anger over the Clinton pardons like they are going to do with the Libby case. So just chill... I was just making that point about THEM.
I'm fine, I didn't ever say
July 3, 2007 - 04:11 ET by sarcasmoI'm fine, I didn't ever say that YOU were calling me a liar. Look at the links again, I said yet-another drugwar debate losing conservative had again lied about me. You, so far, have at least told the truth AFAIK, and I appreciate it! I truly have no issue with you. But I really DO know partisan Democrats (besides the ones you could google) who were quite upset at Clinton's pardons -- especially the pardon of Mark Rich, which seemed to have been purchased. They thought, correctly IMO, that the pardon hurt their party.

July 3, 2007 - 04:21 ET by Bobby JerseyFair enough. I will take your advice and search up Mark Rich pardon on Google. I am sure that some of them thought it would hurt their party, just as I think that this will hurt the image of the conservative's. I am just dreading the week's long bombardment that is coming from the MSM. I just got over my Paris to jail hangover, now it's going to be this. The dread of it!!!

July 3, 2007 - 04:30 ET by sarcasmoStrategically, I'm afraid I agree. By not quite pardoning his man, Mr. Bush will subject himself to the same media onslaught as a full pardon would have caused him to receive, and the only possible political benefit on the horizon would be if Libby could somehow win an appeal. Even assuming that win ever came, only political wonks who AREN'T going to change their minds would give a crap, so a full pardon now would simply save time for everyone.
JMR

July 3, 2007 - 04:44 ET by Bobby JerseyTotally agree on this end. He should have just pardoned him fully, take the brunt of it all now, and move on when something else will get the MSM attention.

In case you haven't been paying attention, you nose-picking liberal bed-wetter, we now have three CVN battle groups within striking distance of Iran in large part because of what that Arkansas POS idiot did.

Apparently there are some conservatives (doesn't say who; what a shocker!) who want to impeach Bush over not securing the border, not over the Libby thing. So of course, the libs will jump on board that wagon. You know, kind of like settling for tax evasion for Al Capone, or tagging Libby since they can't get Cheney or Rove.
But ferrariman makes it sound like the conservatives are on board with the Libby thing, NOT.

July 3, 2007 - 08:18 ET by drillanwrOn this, the day before we in this nation celebrate independence, let us review, under the context of blatant hypocrisy, independence granted by the current and former Presidents. Just a reminder, Libby was not (however hard the LMSM and democrats try to make it appear so) convicted of leaking the name of a CIA agent who was NOT covert under the definition of the law. As a matter of fact, the special prosecuter in the case knew full well very early in the court case of Libby exactly who was the one who leaked that media whore's name ... yet the man has yet to be prosecuted for the alleged (non)crime that started all of this. In essence, Libby was convicted of doing what it was Martha Stewart was accused of (I wasn't for Martha going to prison in that either ... even though I couldn't stand her and thought her nose needed to come down a few feet.) And I am certain we all here know Libby was not pardoned yesterday, but was granted clemency.

Right Wing Bias
July 3, 2007 - 10:10 ET by takingmyconstitutionalLet's lay aside, for the moment, whether Olbermann's comments were appropriate in this case. My question is this: Can you think of anyone else on television who, on a regular basis, makes similarly pointed political comments? Sure you can. They have names like Hannity, O'Reilly, Coulter, and Beck. All are conservatives. What does that say about the repeated charges of left-wing media bias?

July 3, 2007 - 10:39 ET by Roger the ShrubberI agree. However, why did you leave out those other right-wingers like Chris Matthews, ABC, NBC, & CBS nightly and morning news shows off your list? I mean, the evidence is overwhelming that their right-wing media bias is huge! Olbermann is alone in a sea of Neocons!
Thanks for having the type of vision and perception that we need more of around here. You are truly a genius. I mean, you saw past the disparity in ratings between Faux News (about 2.5 million) and the combined totals of the 3 major nightly news, CNN, & MSNBC (about 22-24 million) and reailzed that voices like Mr. Olbermann's (audience size: 650,000) just isn't getting heard out there on television!

July 3, 2007 - 16:35 ET by stratmanLiberals LOVE that Bush commuted Libby's sentence. They would love it MORE if it had been a pardon, but the commutation is just fine for their agenda - yet another wedge issue, regardless of history and legality, to hammer in the Liberal message of Republicans and Conservatives are nothing but bad. It is pure prima faciae argument but at least one half of Americans, and most of Europe, will fall lockstep with the liberal elite's message. Never mind there was no leak. Never mind there was no covert operative to leak their identity. Never mind the answer of who said what and to whom was already known and accepted by the Special Prosecutor from almost the beginning. Never mind the Special Prosecutor never charged anyone including the guy who said he was the one that (didn't even) "spilled the beans". Never mind there was no crime in the first place. Never mind this was a witchhunt once the Special Prosecutor knew who said what to whom very early into his investigation. Fitzgerald, thrust into the spotlight, desired to do be complete and impartial but was overwhelmed by his zealousness.
For a closer look on how the libs are operating on this one, read about how Obama's own top lawyer wanted a pardon for Libby and why: http://thehill.com/leading-the-news/obamas-top-lawyer-advocates-pardon-for-libby-2007-06-13.html.
the elitist left against the unwashed masses.
July 3, 2007 - 21:12 ET by LighthouseJThis reminds me of this one show I saw on the history channel. Anytime I see the liberal elites like Olbermann or Jon Stewart, I remember this. The show was about the Hatfield and McCoy "feud". The educated world has been taught it's a big long-standing kick-down, drag-out fight but in reality it was a minor altercation not of which could be witnessed any other day of the week. The problem was that the media at the time spun it with the dual message like "look at how backwards and uncivilized these stupid yokels are. aren't we better than them?"
Every time I tune into Stewart or Olbermann, I can't help but to smell the stench of arrogance. Everything they say descends into how much better they, their guests and fans are than the unwashed masses. Even Olbermann has his little lists of how you the faithful viewer are superior to the worst persons of the world or the dumb criminals.

July 3, 2007 - 22:39 ET by stratmanThe members of the McCoy family suffered from a genetic disorder that caused, amoungst other things, pheochromocytomas of the adrenal gland, which caused too much adrenalin. Too much adrenalin raises blood pressure and activates the "flight or fight" response which can lead to displays of anger and violence action. Even members of the McCoy family were afraid of ticking off certain relatives because a beat down might occur. Despite any perceived or real threats or insults, it was the effects of the pheochromocytomas that fueled the feud.
Just curious, are you implying that Liberals also suffer from a genetic disease like the McCoy's?

July 3, 2007 - 22:47 ET by LighthouseJThe show I watched didn't talk about any of that, but rather it talked about how the media blew it out of proportion.
Not at all. The implication was that the elite media of the time are the liberal elite of today and the feuding Hatfield and McCoy's are the conservatives.
I however remember a story a few years ago that reported that among a test group, the self-identified liberals had a moderately higher type of chemical hormone or something which corresponded to heightened levels of passion and cowardice IIRC. But that all of that with a heavy dose of salt because I could easily be wrong.
