Keith calls a spade a spade about Rummy! Cheers!!!

Keith Olbermann Delivers One Hell Of a Commentary on Rumsfeld

Olbermann delivered this commentary with fire and passion while highlighting how Rumsfeld’s comments echoes other times in our world’s history when anyone who questioned the administration was coined as a traitor, unpatriotic, communist or any other colorful term. Luckily we pulled out of those times and we will pull out of these times.

Olbermann quotes the famous Edward R. Murrows from his transcript:


"We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty," he said, in 1954.
"We must remember always that accusation is not proof, and that conviction
depends upon evidence and due process of law.
"We will not walk in fear - one, of another. We will not be
driven by fear into an age of un-reason, if we dig deep in our history
and our doctrine, and remember that we are not descended from fearful men;
"Not from men who feared to write, to speak, to associate, and to
defend causes that were - for the moment - unpopular."

The truth was told and the people listened. Rummy's incompetence has caused thousands of our troops to die and he is Alzheimer's. It's time for a new Defense Secretary.

Yes, a new Defense Secretary. The current Defense secretary needs to be committed to a nursing home pronto...
