Bill Clinton Blasts Olbermann For Politicizing Health Care Event, Refuses To Go
Commented Nov 21, 2009 at 15:02:59 in Politics
“As someone who contributed to the clinics, after hearing about them on Countdown, I resent Bill Clinton's attitude, and I'm generally a great admirer of his. Most of these clinics wouldn't be HAPPENING if it weren't for the publicity and money Keith Olbermann brought to them. Sorry, Bill, this is another North Carolina moment (or was it South Carolina? It all seems so long ago....)”

“Please don't be resentful. See them as a team.
KO brought the situation to the public's attention and he did a wonderful job, beyond expectations, but let's not forget it was Pres. Clinton's political savvy, power, and influence that got the hold-outs to vote yes.
Although in no way taking away the importance of what KO has done for the process, the free clinics, and the people in those states, In the end, and long term, HCR will mean more to them and the rest of us.”

“I'll agree it is a hate crime when the school bus beating is classified as a hate crime. If not then it is just a case of another a-hole taking out his aggression on others.”

TED KENNEDY DEAD: Legendary Senator Passes Away From Brain Cancer (VIDEO)
Commented Aug 26, 2009 at 12:59:05 in Politics
“Ted Kennedy's life was an example of someone who made big mistakes in his youth, and then not just turned his life around, but became an example for others. He was often called "The Lion of the Senate", and his legacy will be in all he helped. As others have said, I hope his passing might spur some in both the house and senate to pass meaningful healthcare reform.”

Gary Frago, California Councilman, Sent Racist Anti-Obama Jokes To Staff
Commented Jul 17, 2009 at 16:37:36 in Politics
“For what it's worth, here's my email to the jerk....
Mr. Frago;
I hesitate to use your title, as I feel that you fail to live up to even that position, as lofty as you seem to feel it is.
When I was a child, and that was 50 odd years ago, when I would tell my mother that "everyone was doing it", her
reply would be, "if everyone jumped off a cliff, would you, too?"
This is 2009; our republic is well past its' 200th birthday, yet, still, today, we can't get beyond our racial beginnings?
Even the Civil War was almost 150 years ago.
You're a public servant; isn't it time you left the schoolyard and started acting like one, and at very least like an adult?
I hope you don't truly represent the citizens of the city who's council you sit on.”

“For all of the dissing of Sprint, I've got to say that I've had their service for 10 years, and never
had any trouble. I originally got Sprint when I lived in Texas and was planning to move to
Georgia within a few months. Sprint was the ONLY cellular company who was willing to give
me a Georgia phone number...A T&T and Verison told me that it had to be a Texas number
since that's where I was currently residing. To me, that was customer service. I've driven
throughout the country, and only had dropped calls in the Rockies, so I can't complain.
I got Blackberry about 6 months ago, so now I have to wait awhile for the Pre, but I'll get it
when I can.”

“Why would it be necessary to have studied theology and philosophy to declare oneself an atheist? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I would imagine that most of us grew up with a firm grounding in the religion of our parents, and the adult decision to not believe is generally more thought out than the easier choice to simply continue along the path of our upbringing. I have no fear of religion.. .I was raised a Jew, and still feel an historic bond even as I have no desire to enter a synagogue. Perhaps you have a fear of a lack of religion rather than the contrary.. .”

Meanwhile, al-Maliki has announced that there's no longer an insurgency in Iraq, which should be our signal to leave. Have those oil contracts been secured yet?”
