Thanks for making me feel like less of a mainstream “fuddy duddy” (?) for liking Keith Olberman. (Sometimes I like Chris Matthews, too, even though he is a bit of a puffed-up cheeseball at times.)
In the early 1990s my ex-boyfriend and I had a basic cable package, which we watched on, believe it or not, a small black-and-white television set. But we grew so disgusted with what we perceived as CNN’s “rah rah” coverage of the FIRST Gulf War, including the various exclamations of Wolf Blitzer, that we ended up cancelling cable. I suppose we thought we were members of the “radical intelligentsia,” or something like that. I mean, even Barack seems to think Gulf War I was 100% justified in all respects, and went just SWIMMINGLY. I guess if your only basis of comparison is the current Iraq war, you might conclude that Gulf War I was brilliantly orchestrated and a wonderfully peachy idea.

M Styborski;

Thank you for your comment on HumidCity post #1185 “Seven Minutes of Truth”

Having perused your blog, I must say, you have quite a way with words yourself. It’s true, Mr Olberman is exceptional at his perfected method of rant, but then,
he has cameras to look at.

I find it very helpful, from time to time, to place cereal boxes, cleverly colored to LOOK like TV cameras, all around the breakfast table, while I talk to them. Just a thought…

Please, sir, keep up the good fight.

Well, I guess I can cross Bush off of the Nation of Morons. There’s no way I can craft anything that well in the world of words. Thank you, Mr Olberman, for having the balls to stand up for the rest of us and call the First Ape to task. And thanks Lord David, for sharing the link.
