Check out this Keith Olbermann clip from a recent broadcast.

Questions:
  • does he think he's on the Daily Show?
  • should we make everyone part of the Daily Show staff so they finally report the abuse of rights by the current Bush+Republicans Administration?
  • will MSNBC put out a press release distancing themselves from his report, or just block his career advancement?

Heavy-handed humour, but it's a topic requiring a heavy hand.

Exactly. Sadly, it's not even heavy enough to really register with 50% of the populace.

Oh no it isn't. This is:

87% of the US population thinks the current administration is lying about stuff.

15% of the US population can't name the current president.

Therefore 2% of the US population both believe the president is lying and know his name.

Compare that to the 2004 election results.

*That's* an empty glass.

That's not an empty glass, that's a mathematical abortion. Who taught you fraction multiplication?

I think he said his name was R. Cheney. I think he works for some big employer in the DC area.

So you're a puppet of the administration.
