[Cush]

[Fenris]

1. Slamming everybody.

:bounce:

[babsbunny]

5. Whoo HOOO!!!

Go Keef!

[malaise]

9. Absolutely brilliant

Bravo Keith!!

[BamaBecky]

37. Amen!

[flakey_foont]

2. details, please

for the TV deprived

[LisaL]

10. He said that they were promising they could keep US safe,

unlike the "other guy". Turns out they can't keep anyone safe. Talked about million dollars bridges in Alaska, while NO couldn't get the money . Asked where Cheney was.

[flakey_foont]

16. Thanks

will try to catch the rerun later...sounds like MUST SEE TV

[Dudley_DUright]

28. $223 million dollar bridge!!

[LisaL]

32. To an island of less than 50 people. Boy, will they have

fun with this bridge, while NO drowned.

[globalvillage]

11. sorry.

bush's legacy will be defined in two words: New Orleans
Where is Cheney who a year ago told us we were doomed if the other guy was elected?
Did not fund levee repair, but spent millions on Repub bridge in AK

paraphrasing, sorry, short term memory probs. :-)

much, much more.

[libhill]

33. The Repukes lie so damn much

it is hard to remember them all. Yeah, ever notice Dickie is never around when shit comes down? Makes ya wonder ---

[roguevalley]

36. Kick the bridges. Do it long and loud. Those ass clowns who made

it happen are senile bastards. Ted Stevens, Lisa Murkowski and Don Young are the three stupidest and immoral peewits that ever lived.

[Stil]

12. Full body slam

of * and his cronies. Not taking responsibility and control. Just too much to list. Keith hit it hard. :toast:

[globalvillage]

3. He is amazing. I love KO n/t

[durablend]

4. DAYYYYYYYYYYYYYUM!

:wow: :wow: :wow: :wow:

[LisaL]

6. It was good.

[OctOct1]

7. That was FANTASTIC

[thedailyshow]

8. what did he rant about?

[LisaL]

13. Bush, Cheney, Fema and their role in this disaster.

[chimpymustgo]

19. Just think of every scathing thing you've wanted to say the past week:

Keith just said it. Pretty personal towards Chimpy - "21st century Marie Antionette".

These guys who claim to be so competent, "how could anyone have anticipated??"...

On and on. Incredible.

[LisaL]

24. Yes. There was also an author on the program, who said

this administration really screwed up FEMA, that FEMA director has few rights now. No one is safe now because of this administration, even though they run for the election promising to keep us safe.
They can't even save us from water.

[merbex]

He said it is time to assign blame (paraphrasing) and that he gave them a

week before he did

[Cooley Hurd]

14. "they couldn't even protect us from standing water..."

:bounce: Go Keith!!!!!:thumbsup:

[SeattleGirl]

YOWZAAAAAAAA!!!!

Damn, he is really going at it! I hope someone posts the video of this!

:woohoo: :applause: :woohoo: :applause: :woohoo: :applause:

[pdxmom]

15. He certainly told it the way it was. Really laid it on the line.

And said he'd held off on it last week, because the focus was on the victims. Now, he thinks it's time to start looking at what happened.

Keith is so awesome!

[Jeanette in FL]

17. Unf***ing believable nt

[Spazito]

18. I hope crooks and liars got it!

I don't get MSNBC and I really want to see this!

[Berry Cool]

21. It took him a long time to say it, but he finally did!

People who can catch this on the rerun (midnight ET) need to; the video also needs to get out!

If he doesn't blog it immediately after the broadcast ends, I'll transcribe it and post it.

[Catchawave]

20. Where's Cheney?

Keith noticed too??? There is hope for America :)

[Buns_of_Fire]

22. boosh's* "legacy" summed up in two words: New Orleans

Powerful rant, Keith, but I think you can forget about any invitations to the White House for the near future. :thumbsup:

[ClayZ]

23. He laid it out like a red carpet!

Yay Keith! WHOOO HOOOOOO

THE TRUTH has been spoken!

:yourock: :yourock: :yourock: :kick: :kick: :kick:

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

25. It was great! Chertoff calling Louisiana a city

as symbolic of just how much the Bush Administration cares. Olbermann mentioned $450 million dollars worth of trophy bridges being built for Alaska while the levees in New Orleans deteriorated.

I would like to know how much pork was spent on other worthless projects by the Republican Congress while a disaster-in-the-making went underfunded.

[Kolesar]

26. bush* with his abuse of plural pronouns: "WE are not satisfied"

Who is the WE that * is referring to?
I hope Keith Olbermann puts that speech up on his blog.

[suffragette]

27. Transcript is up

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6210240/

[Dudley_DUright]

29. Thanks, I missed it

:-(

[Dudley_DUright]

30. This statement is brilliant

This must be picked up and used by congressional democrats!

And most chillingly of all, this is the Law and Order and Terror government. It promised protection — or at least amelioration — against all threats: conventional, radiological, or biological. It has just proved that it cannot save its citizens from a biological weapon called standing water.

[LisaL]

31. It's really rather ironic.

We are less safe with this administration than ever before, and they run on a security platform.

[Media_Lies_Daily]

34. That was very good! Thanks!

[OneBlueSky]

35. "The responsibility of government for the public safety is absolute

and requires no mandate. It is in fact, the prime object for which governments come into existence." Winston Churchill

says it all . . .

[OhioChick]

38. I watched Keith last night

and was very impressed by him. Let's hope he keeps it up.

[moodforaday]

39. Crooks and Liars has video

Amazing rant.
