Once in a while, Keith Olbermann gets really wound up about a particular issue and releases one of his rant-like "Special Comment" segments. Monday night was one of those times, and it was a doozy!

My favorite part was when he was dressing down Senator John Thune (R-South Dakota):

Quote:

That's a bald-faced lie, Senator. And you're a bald-faced liar, whose bald face is covered by…your own health care plan run by government bureaucrats. Nobody would be forced into anything; and the Public Insurance Option is no more a disruption than letting the government sell you water, and not just Poland Spring and Sparkletts. But, as corrupt hypocrites go, Senator, at least you're well paid. What was that one statement worth to you in contributions from the Health Sector, Sen. Thune? Five thousand dollars? Ten? We know what you are, Sir, we're arguing about the price.


Don't feel bad, though - he had plenty of venom for the "blue dog" Democrats, too.

My representative is a Blue Dog Democrat. He's a gutless tool. Any issue that seems remotely controversial, he scurries away and takes a neutral, non-assertive stance.

Weird - from what I can see, MSNBC is running second in cable news outlets in primetime. Are you saying that second in primetime sucks?

If so, where does that leave "Bones"?

O'Reilly has 3 1/2 million veiwers, Uglymann has just over 1 million....and he's stupid.

As for "BONES", it has over 11 million veiwers and is a top 25 show, somtimes top 20. It also always wins it timeslot.

Just so we're clear, Zit - are you saying that NO show has ever beaten Bones in its time slot?

Are you saying that Olbermann has never beaten O'Reilly?

And are you saying that only the number one show counts? Wow, you must really hate Firefly then, eh? It was NEVER # 1!

Well now I'm just confused. Earlier you said that Bones had never lost its timeslot. Now you say it's never been # 1. Which is it?

And isn't Olbermann the underdog and O'Reilly the overdog? Seems to me you root for the overdog!
