Olbermann on Bush pardoning Scooter Libby
Keith Olbermann - You have stabbed us in the back - RESIGN
BREAKING:: SCOOTER LIBBY HAS 2 1/2 YR. JAILTIME COMMUTED
The Joseph and Valerie Wilson Legal Support Trust
When it comes to concisely and articulately expressing the outrage of most of the country, few do it with as much force or intellect and erudition as MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann. His focused anger and outrage give voice to what millions of Americans are feeling. Olbermann’s argument and his reasoning are spot-on and they go to the heart of the arrogance and dismissiveness with which Our Glorious and Benevolent Leader © seems to regardless his constituents, the American sheeple.
Listen to Olbermann’s comments…and listen well, for he details the dangers unleashed by Our Glorious and Benevolent Leader © and his blatant disregard for the reality that Scooter Libby was convicted of a felony by a jury of his peers. Believing that he’s a better judge of Libby’s crime and his intent, and willing to substitute that judgement for the verdict of a court of law, The Worst President EVER © has demonstrated that the man who pledged to “restore honor and dignity to the White House” is a liar at best, and and enemy of democracy and justice at worst.
With one poorly thought out and ill-considered decision, The Decider © has demonstrated that the rich and the powerful really ARE different (they’re above the law) and that neoConservatives take care of their own. He has also demonstrated that he is President of the United States in name only. What he truly is is little more than the leader of a small collection of slash-and-burn Conservatives more interest in political power and self-aggrandizement than the ideals that have helped this country prosper and flourish for more than 200 years. What if Libby was African-American or retarded? Do I REALLY need to answer that question…as if the answer isn’t already self-evident?
May King George the Worst © rot in the hell he so richly deserves….
