Keith Olbermann on Rumsfeld
“This is a democracy, still. . . sometimes just barely. And as such, all voices count. Not just his. Had he or his President proven any of their prior claims of omniscience . . . we all might be able to swallow hard and accept their omniscience as a bearable, or even useful recipe of fact plus ego.”
[See the video at Crooks and Liars.]
Rumsfeld thinks critics of the Iraq war are equal to those who let Hitler get away with stuff in the ’30s.
But it’s in bad taste for progressives to compare Bush to Hitler (remember the MoveOn debacle?).
Ahh, hypocrisy is alive and well in America.

I watched this last night and I liked it and all, it was really well written. The only thing was that it was really long. Best line though…”Rumsfeld’s speechwriter thinks this”…burn.
Yeah, I didn’t watch the whole video. . .b/c I’m at work and it is really long.
Prolly a bad idea for this admin to be comparing anyone to the Nazis. someone might start looking at how Bush et al. stack up to that mirror.
He’s come a long way from SportsCenter.
