Keith Olbermann Blames 9/11 On George W. Bush
2010-02-14
Keith Olbermann Friday blamed 9/11 on former President George W. Bush.

"3,000 people died on September 11th, 2001 because George Bush did not prioritize," the "Countdown" host disgracefully told his small number of viewers.
It's not nice to snicker, however tempting.
"Perhaps no one says it because it is such a painful, awful truth to confront, 3,000 people dead because Bush and Dick Cheney and Don Rumsfeld and others simply had other agendas than fighting terrorism."

#17  He's trying to do like Peter Finch in that movie Network. Only one question: Is he doing it on purpose or has he really gone off the rails? Either way, I don't think he has what it takes to pull it off.

#14  Bush DIDN'T treat the threat of Islamic extremism as seriously as he should, up to 9/11.

Clinton didn't treat Islamic extremism seriously, for many, many years.

But, unlike Olbermann, I don't think we should be about point-scoring, but how our administrations did afterward. I'm giving Obama low marks for keeping me, my family, and other Americans safe after the Christmas bomber.

#13  The man is obviously insane.
MSNBC is remiss in not getting this guy anti-psychotic medicine.

#9  Would you want to be the one who tells this guy he's fired? I mean, what are the odds of him going totally postal in the NBC executive suite?

#7  He's really losin' it now. He'll be gone in less than a year.

Does that mean MSNBC is too stupid to cancel him sooner?

#4  Bush and Dick Cheney and Don Rumsfeld and others simply had other agendas than fighting terrorism.

That would be at least equally true (if not more) of the Clinton Administration. They tried to kill Clinton, they bombed 2 embassies, they bombed the Cole.

#3  Mr Olberman needs his head introduced to the flat of a shovel. Hard.

Given his "reasoning" ability, he probably already has.

#2  Shatner expresses my feelings quite well.

#1  Is there a smaller minded more savagely stupid man than this on the news stations?
