Olbermann calls Bush "compulsive liar"
MSNBC commentator Keith Olbermann is the closest thing we have in the early 21st century to Edward R. Murrow, the famous CBS News reporter in the 1950s who took on rightwing ideologues like Sen. Joseph McCarthy. It is no secret that Olbermann is proudly liberal, and good for him. Conservative voices so dominate the airwaves that he stands out like a beacon of hope.
Anyway, last night Olbermann delivered a scathing personal critique of President Bush, focusing on his recent attempts to all but accuse Democratic critics of treason for refusing to enthusiastically back his assaults on the Constitution. Olbermann delivers his comments directly at Bush. It is a full frontal assault. And long overdue.
