Time to Go

Watch Keith Olbermann's special comment this evening calling for Bush and Cheney to resign. "You Ceased to be the President of the United States". For me, this was the most poignant part:
It is nearly July 4th, Mr. Bush, the commemoration of the moment we Americans decided that rather than live under a King who made up the laws, or erased them, or ignored them — or commuted the sentences of those rightly convicted under them — we would force our independence, and regain our sacred freedoms.

We of this time — and our leaders in Congress, of both parties — must now live up to those standards which echo through our history:

Pressure, negotiate, impeach — get you, Mr. Bush, and Mr. Cheney, two men who are now perilous to our Democracy, away from its helm.
Poignant, because glad as I am to hear these words, the hard truth, spoken from a major media figure, my heart breaks that these words even need to be said.

I sincerely wish Bush, Cheney and all of their henchmen to the devil.

Olbermann's Special Comment almost made my hair stand on end. Hearing serious criticism of the Bushies expressed so forcefully is like being washed over by a huge wave of clean water.

It is refreshing because it's so different from the way even decent politicians speak. Olbermann is not cautious, does not choose his words to be safe. I adore him.

I get to hear the rerun in a little while. Pacific time is good; by the time I get up all the Easterners have been up for hours, causing trouble and making news.

Four Legs, what happens with Haloscan at Eschaton sometimes? I can't access Comments, or the one time I could see a comment screen, it froze my browser (Safari).

I really wanted to see what Atriots said abt Olbermann's Special Comment, but couldn't. So I'm glad you had something to say abt it.
