We Just Don't Get The Joke

That is, according to Keith Olbermann. Thanks to a friend of mine for bringing the link to my attention.

"The context was unmistakable: Texas; the state of denial; stuck in Iraq. No interpretation required.
And Mr. Bush and his minions responded by appearing to be too stupid to realize that they had been called stupid."

Yes Olbermann. Bush felt that way, members of Kerry's own party felt that way (including Hillary), millions of Americans felt that way. We all must have been too stupid to interpret such a clever joke in its correct context. Would that we could drink from the same font of knowledge that you and Kerry do.
*sigh*
Olbermann continues:

"This president must apologize to the troops for having suggested, six weeks ago, that the chaos in Iraq, the death and the carnage, the slaughtered Iraqi civilians and the dead American service personnel, will, to history, 'look like just a comma.'"

Yes, by God, because we cannot abide optimism. Dammit we won't STAND for it. Bush has time and again validated their deaths by speaking of the legacies they are helping to build.

"This president must apologize to the troops because the intelligence he claims led us into Iraq proved to be undeniably and irredeemably wrong."

And so must all of the senators and representatives (the democratic ones among them) who voted for the resolution. While we're at it, let's have the CIA apologize too.

The fact is that as you read Olbermann's article, he uses the same devisive language that he blames Bush for. Republicans are Bush minions. They make fun of "cripples". Blah blah blah. I have little if any respect for Olbermann, and not because he is a dissenting voice. It is because he's an ignorant jackass that IS the partisan hack he claims to rail against. Hypocrisy is disgusting whether you are a Republican or a Democrat.
