Keith Olbermann: Bush/Cheney Should Resign
MSNBC news commentator Keith Olbermann has never pulled punches, but this "special comment," directed at President Bush after the Scooter Libby sentence commutation, may have taken him to a new playing field. It's an A-1, tour-de-force rant: a point-by-point ennumeration of the ways in which Olbermann feels Bush has allowed partisanship to replace all other judgement, ruining the integrity of the presidency and exhibiting a destructive contempt for all American citizens who have placed their faith in the office.
No doubt Bush's supporters (and Olbermann's detractors) can find many bones to pick not only with Olbermann's opinions, but with the way in which he presents them as ringing truths. (And no doubt many of those arguments will feature several points about the evils of the Clinton administration.)
Find fault where you will; it is, after all, simply one man's opinion. But if nothing else, concede the passion here, the eloquence, the fervor of a patriot who feels he's got no place to hang his hat anymore. Recognize, at least, that here before us lies one of the most well-worded, well-presented, well-structured hissy fits in a good long stretch of recent memory.

Forsooth, Tom Delay, Olbermann Speaketh!
Olbermann speaks truth on CNBC,
Railing loudly when others might whine.
On YouTube his rantings, his anger for me,
The sweetest possible sign.
For Delay is a criminal, and no wit;
To compare liberals to Hitler is a laugh.
Even in context it is not worth one bit.
Disgracing the party of Taft.
My anger at Delay is too much to bear,
To bear it alone would be cruel.
But sweet Keith, with his silver hair,
Wields logic and facts. He's cool.
Readers, embrace this smackdown fine.
Enjoy the speaking of Olbermann's mind.
