The Olbermann factor

The Democrats may have wrested back control of power in Congress, but that hasn't quieted the ire of MSNBC's Keith Olbermann.

Recently, he delivered one of his trademark blistering critiques of the country's leadership - this time charging that President George W. Bush failed to learn the lessons of Vietnam by perpetuating the "monumental lie that is our presence in Iraq." And don't think the victors of the midterm election are going to escape his sharp tongue.

"If the Democrats don't undo a lot of the things that have been done, like the Military Commissions Act and many of the other infringements on freedom, as I see it, there will be a special comment with their name on it," Olbermann vowed on a recent afternoon, wearing a crisp, striped shirt and suspenders, his large frame hunched over his desk at the cable news network's Secaucus, N.J., headquarters.

The 47-year-old broadcaster's "special comments" are not a regular feature on "Countdown With Keith Olbermann," the dramatically intoned, fast-paced melange of politics and pop culture that he has anchored since 2003 and that recently emerged as MSNBC's top-rated show.

is fair for the DINO's.

Some Democrats need a spanking, though, for forgetting that the principles of the Republic needs to be nurtured and defended first and foremost.

accountability once power is achieved. There is a lot of undoing that needs to be done very quickly in order for the Dems to prove their mettle.
