::snicker:: Considering the number of conservatives who told me the only reason they ever watch The O’Reilly Factor is for the unintentional comedy I’m not entirely surprised to hear someone like Rush Limbaugh publicly insult Bill O’Reilly. However, I did find it funny that he compared O’Reilly to Ted Baxter, the buffoonish newsman from The Mary Tyler Moore Show — after all, Keith Olbermann has been making that comparison for years.

Congratulations, Glenn Greenwald. Glenn Greenwald challenged both Barack Obama and Keith Olbermann over this FISA legislation.

Now that he is one step away from the White House, he appears to be playing politics, and backing off from this pledge.

Keith Olbermann chats with Markos Moulitsas the publisher and founder of the DailyKos. They discuss FISA in relation to Netroots and Barack Obama. Now, I have not really pushed Barack Obama in my recent posting on FISA but it is clear that we, Netroots, need a Senator to lead this fight. Chris Dodd? Russ Feingold? Pat Leahy? Hillary Clinton? Now, Hillary is in an idea position to get back into the good graces of the liberal left. She could lead this charge but Barack Obama would be perfect. Is he the leader of the Democratic party? Yes or ...

I really can’t add anything worth while. Keith Olbermann. George Carlin. ShareThis ...
