Aren't they just making his point for him?

During lunch hour here in Iraq, we have the misfortune to be subjected to MSNBC's "Countdown" with Keith Olberman. I am not sure exactly when it was Mr. Olberman made the transformation from sportscaster to pundit. I do know that his transformation from sportcaster to tool is complete, though.

Keith's big story today was the resignation of Sen. Phil Gramm ('the man who brought us Enron and the current gas crisis' - who knew Phil Gramm had so much power?) as John McCain's national campaign co-chair. This is in the wake of Sen. Gramm's comments that America is becoming a nation of whiners.

So, what did the media do for the next four or five days? Whine about it.

You hit the nail on the head. Olbermann is a absolute, 100%, card-carrying tool!! If our 'coercive interrogation' methods included daily forced watching of this guy, the war would have ended many years ago.

Rick,

Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment.

I wonder if the commander at Gitmo has an email address to we can suggest that.

Although that really would be torture!
