Worst Person in the World: George W. Bush



Last night, Keith Olbermann honored George Walker Bush with the Worst Person in the World award and delivered a righteous rant on the subject of Bush's virtual pardon of convicted felon Scooter Libby. Olbermann promised a special comment tonight. It's gonna be good.

"Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go!"

"Good evening. A president who lied us into a war and, in so doing, needlessly killed 3,584 of our family and friends and neighbors; a president whose administration initially tried to destroy the first man to nail that lie; a president whose henchmen then ruined the career of the intelligence asset that was his wife when intelligence assets were never more essential to the viability of the republic; a president like that has tonight freed from the prospect of prison the only man ever to come to trial for one of the component felonies in what may be the greatest crime of this young century." -- Keith Olbermann, intro to the 7-2-07 show
