Sorry, I couldn't finish that sanctimonious BS.
Now, I know why Olbermann's ratings are about 1/4 of
O'Reilly's and just below CNN Headline news.
I listened for five minutes and he never once addressed
Rumsfeld's arguments head on. Rummy was saying the
critics of the war are wrong and here is why....
Olbermann ignores the legitimate debate and calls our
administration a bunch of fascists. Very mature and
very construction. But I'm sure those few left wing
nuts who watched his show enjoyed it very much. Its
called "preaching to the choir" -- all sound and fury
signifying nothing.
In 2008 there will be another election. If Bush
refuses to step down in 2008, or if the Constitution is
somehow amended to remove the President's term limit before
then, then we can talk. Until then, stop being so
alarmist. The Presidency was Constitutionally
designed to be a very powerful office in our government --
far stronger than any office in any of the
European parliamentary governments. The
Executive branch (vested in one man) is a co-equal branch
with the Legislative and Judiciary. In fact, one
could argue it is the most powerful branch, because it is
solely responsible for executing the laws and solely
responsible for commanding the military. You add to
that America's role as the world's sole superpower, and you
have a hell of a lot of the world's power vest in the hands
of one man. You don't like it? Change the
constitution, or win an election. Don't you worry,
though, it will all be over in 2008. Either Mrs.
Clinton or Mr. McCain will assume the position of the most
powerful person on the planet -- for 4 or 8 years. If
not, and if Bush remains in office, I'll grab my pitch fork
and meet you on Pennsylvania Ave.
