WASHINGTON – Nobody was tougher on Keith Olbermann during the ’08 primaries, whose sexist commentary on Clinton knew no bounds. But at our house, we’re moving to a new media provider for many reasons, with the bonus being Olbermann and we’re paying for a higher tier to get Current and Keith, because he’s carried by our new carrier, though we won’t have it for a couple of weeks. That Current is Al Gore’s baby is another plus.
It was great to see his “worst persons” come back, especially with Sarah Palin, as well as Fox News channel, getting honors tonight, which you can see online over at Current.
Libya is spotlighted in the clip above, though Current hasn’t figured out how to offer video without auto audio. It’s interesting to see Michael Moore reveal how thoroughly he misunderstood candidate Obama on foreign policy simply because of one speech, though it no longer surprises me. When it came to paying attention to details, Mr. Moore was like a lot of people who simply missed reality.
Speaking of Libya, Senators Kerry and McCain have offered up a fig leaf for Obama’s messy little illegal action. As an audition to take Sec. Clinton’s job, it’s not a bad move by Sen. Kerry.
Can’t wait until the media switch over at our house. Agree or disagree with Olbermann, nobody does it like him.
The reviews of the first show were superlative, according to some die hard fans who comment over at my place. The pictures Olbermann showed of the set looked fabulous. It was also amusing to see commercials on MSNBC for his new show.
