Keith Olberman - on now; not being kind to Chimpy's "mea culpa"

[CatWoman]

[NewJeffCT]

1. summary for the cube rats

thanks

[CatWoman]

2. I get the impression he thinks Chimpy's

sudden change of heart is due to his dismal poll numbers.

[hippiegranny]

6. hmmm - ya think?

what else could it be? it's all about focus groups with these ass-clowns and everybody knows it.

[Zuni]

Keith Olbermann has by far the best cable news show

[CatWoman]

4. now showing Blanco blasting FEMA

because of the shitty job they are doing recovering bodies.

[WiseButAngrySara]

13. I just turned it on....Is he going to discuss (or did he) the Private Co.

(CSI?) that is to clean up NOLA bodies, has been involved in previous scandals, and whose owner just happens to be another BFEE family friend?

[CatWoman]

18. don't know, but will let you know.

[sarcasmo]

Zuni how right you are.

[spuddonna]

3. Can you give us cable challenged people updates? Thanks! :) n/t

[CatWoman]

5. Norah O'Donnel saying Chimpy admitting a mistake is

"stunning"

and his poll numbers are devastating.

[Nikki Stone 1]

8. Has he mentioned that the owners of that NO nursing home are being charged

with negligent homicide? Just saw it on local news. So when is Junior going to be charged? Brownie?

[CatWoman]

10. yes, he mentioned it

and the owners were offered buses to evacuate those sick people, and declined.

I think he will do more on it later.

[Nikki Stone 1]

15. Great. Let me know what he says about it.

Thanks!

[CatWoman]

17. talking about it now

first criminal charges bought via the hurricane. charged with negligence.

[Nikki Stone 1]

28. Does he muse on who else should be charged with criminal negligence?

:)

[CatWoman]

29. no, right now focused on the owners.

the couple had an Italian sounding name - sorry didn't get it.

[Nikki Stone 1]

32. charming. While this couple is scum for not evacuating these folks.

Junior and company deserve the blame for the thousands of others dead, floating in the toxic muck.

[NYC]

36. Mangano.

Keep reporting. I don't have cable. :)

[CatWoman]

27. each and every one of the dead will be autopsied

to determine cause of death.

[Nikki Stone 1]

30. Would that be true for the whole city...... (sigh)

:(

[Imagevision]

45. That would make Bush even more guilty for the hundreds drowned

Failing to act in a timely manner obviously contributed to old people and babies drowning, he peotected the people of the US. in a disaster in a manner that contributed to unnecessary deaths, end of story...!

[Atman]

42. That is not true.

According to the official interviewed on Anderson Cooper's show. They will only autopsy those bodies appearing to have trauma or other injuries. Drowning, he claimed, was pretty easy to discern, but any death wherein "foul play" is detected requires an autopsy, by law. They will not be doing autopsies on ALL the dead.

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

48. passing judgement r/e nursing home? Hospitals didn't evacuate everyone eit

I would like to find out more.

From what I saw on CNN, the nursing home's attorney said that they had weathered storms at their location for 20 plus years, and that the owners were hesitant to put patients on a bus.

They felt that the patients were safer where at the nursing home.

They didn't know the levee would break.

I may be wrong, but please find out more.

They also mentioned how in previous hurricanes that sick nursing home patients were put on buses and died on them.

It is really tough to care for elderly, to move them, to evacuate them.

The hospitals didn't evacuate everyone either, are they going to be charged with crimes too?

[Fridays Child]

9. She also flat out stated that the preseident who doesn't govern by polls..

...is doing all of this because of the polls.

[isayitstinks]

It wasn't stunningly sincere...

he looked like the class bully shrugging and mumbling a fake apology.

[teryang]

25. It wasn't sincere at all, in fact...

...it was qualified, "To the extent that...," leaving the possibility that that there was no responsibility.

[Generator]

38. Exactly

And welcome to DU! I was almost stunned when I heard MSNBC announce the buck stopped with him. Seeing it was totally different. He looked so pained to be saying those words. He looked like he could barely get them out.

[aquart]

16. Not nearly bad enough.

I want his own party to collect him like hurricane refuse and then wash all over to rid themselves of the contamination. They won't be able to wash hard enough, though.

[me b zola]

37. Is Nora smitten with KO??

She wasn't licking bush*s boots tonight.

[Fridays Child]

41. Blew me away.

She behaved like a human.

[CatWoman]

7. Now speculating what Chimpy will say on Thursday night

O'Donnell says Chimpy is alarmed as the poll numbers show he's losing his base.

[Fenris]

12. "alarmed"

He's just now coming to the realization that he isn't worshipped as a god. :eyes:

[CatWoman]

14. I'm still standing, better than I ever did

:D

[Fenris]

21. Goodbye yellow-brick road...

:D

[Garbo 2004]

49. Too bad he wasn't more alarmed at the loss of lives and didn't take a

"pre-emptive" approach to saving them.

[Boo Boo]

11. "Mea culpa"

More like "me a dumbass."

[Fridays Child]

19. He couldn't stage manage this one. The pictures and the news came out...

...and he didn't know what to do. This is not a chastened leader. This is a fascist whose propaganda machine broke down, just like the New Orleans pumps, when the levees burst.

[CatWoman]

20. O'Donnell also mentioned the Newsweek and Time articles

and described them as "devastating"

[Fridays Child]

33. Wouldn't it be something if what a majority of voters...

...couldn't accomplish, Mother Nature could? It seems that Al Gore has been vindicated, if at a terrible price. And how telling that, even as Gore quietly labored to rescue nearly three hundred of New Orleans' most vulnerable citizens, Bush held up relief supplies for the sake of a failed photo op.

[MissMarple]

39. Did anyone else hear her say "ascared" as in afraid?

I swear she did. She was talking about why he admitted responsibility, because his people were "ascared". I'm still laughing.

:rofl:

[txindy]

43. That's exactly right. This is a petulant child wanting attention.

It doesn't matter what he's done or hasn't done, in his mind he deserves glory and he'll do whatever it takes to get it back.

Which, I must admit, does concern me more than a little bit.

[Cocoa]

22. he's playing the blame game!

with himself! Scotty will not like this.

[highplainsdem]

23. Which network called *'s statement a "mea culpa"? Faux News?

I hadn't heard about that till Keith mentioned it.

[CatWoman]

26. he didn't mentioned them by name

but knowing Keith, I bet it was Fox.

[salinen]

24. aaahhh!!!!

Christ jr. admits he cannot do the water wine trick. The smell of fundy farts is thick.

[Patsy Stone]

31. He is snarky and delicious tonight!

:loveya:

You're all welcome to join us in the Countdown/KO Group -- we'd love to have ya!

[West Coast Democrat]

34. Thanks for the heads-up

I haven't tuned into Keith for quite a while.

[La Coliniere]

35. Keith, what would we do

without ya? I have more respect for him now than I ever have. I"d love to see him in a Charlie Rose type format, sticking to a topic or interview for more than 5 minutes. I usually want more.

[Berry Cool]

40. Please come join us in the Countdown/KO Group

We're always happy to have MORE!

And we usually want MORE of Keith...who calls Faux News "The 1984 Channel," by the way...

[West Coast Democrat]

44. Ah...is it a group of people who worship the Keithmann?

He is such a stud.

[Berry Cool]

46. You got it.

And if you call him a "stud," you've DEFINITELY got it. :-)

Join the Keith Olbermann Estrogen Brigade...or our male auxiliary...we're always looking for fresh recruits!

[Imagevision]

47. Two words which will define Bush government - New Orleans..!
