If you missed Keith Olbermann latest great commentary -- in which he praises Bill Clinton's smackdown of Bush mouthpiece Fox News, and blasts the ceaseless neocon effort to blame Clinton for 9/11 -- the video is here.
Keith points out that Bush -- "our worst presiden[t] since James Buchanan" -- was actually the pResident on September 11, 2001, and for the 'nearly eight' do-nothing months 'that preceded it.'
"To hear [Bush] bleat and whine and bully at nearly every opportunity, one would think someone else had been president on September 11th, 2001 -- or the nearly eight months that preceded it."
Like Bill Clinton's righteous rebuttal to the sniveling and cowardly Bush Administration, Keith Olbermann provides a model of how an opposition party is supposed to behave.
Let's hope the Democrats are paying attention.
It is not important that the current President’s portable public chorus has described his predecessor’s tone as “crazed.”
Our tone should be crazed. The nation’s freedoms are under assault by an administration whose policies can do us as much damage as al Qaida; the nation’s marketplace of ideas is being poisoned by a propaganda company so blatant that Tokyo Rose would’ve quit.
Nonetheless. The headline is this:
Bill Clinton did what almost none of us have done in five years.
He has spoken the truth about 9/11, and the current presidential administration.
"At least I tried," he said of his own efforts to capture or kill Osama bin Laden. "That’s the difference in me and some, including all of the right-wingers who are attacking me now. They had eight months to try; they did not try. I tried."
Thus in his supposed emeritus years has Mr. Clinton taken forceful and triumphant action for honesty, and for us; action as vital and as courageous as any of his presidency; action as startling and as liberating, as any, by any one, in these last five long years.
The Bush Administration did not try to get Osama bin Laden before 9/11.
The Bush Administration ignored all the evidence gathered by its predecessors.
The Bush Administration did not understand the Daily Briefing entitled "Bin Laden Determined To Strike in U.S."
The Bush Administration did not try.
Moreover, for the last five years one month and two weeks, the current administration, and in particular the President, has been given the greatest “pass” for incompetence and malfeasance in American history!
