Keith Olbermann
Related: About this forumToday (2/7/2023), Keith Olbermann had the best Countdown podcast I've heard so far
It was in advance of Biden's State of the Union address and his fantasy of how he should respond to the Repughs. He said Republicans are all about imagery, but Democrats need to make their own response. He pointed out how Repughs have, for example, taken over the conversation about the Chinese and how we should.
Here's the description of the opening segment from his podcast listing:
"It's ridiculous hyperbole of course. But how much MORE ridiculous than Bush's Flight Suit and Mission Accomplished speech? Democrats have no clue how stupid half the country (or more) really is, and how easily that half can be manipulated by stunts, theater, shiny objects, crotch bulges in flight suits, braggadocio, nonsense, outright lies, and other tactics Republicans mastered decades ago.
"How stupid are they? When Karine Jean-Pierre reminded reporters they'd been given "Tick Tocks" (journalistic jargon for minute-by-minute timelines), The Daily Caller and Fox News both jumped to the asinine conclusion that the secrets of the nation were being distributed on TIK-TOK. This is how dumb they are, and they are not getting less so.
"Bring a Sidewinder with you, Mr. President."

It really hit home for me. I hope someone in the Party is listening.

(17,273 posts)but I'm afraid I've gotten 'out of the mood' for the daily fights and disdain for all of the atrocities that the Pukes have done/are doing. It all leaves me incredibly frustrated and feeling like there's nothing more that I can do to 'fight the system' that is not working for us. It is just better for my own mental/physical health to give Keith a pass for a few sessions.
That being said, I'm gonna' go and get fired up on this one!
And KUDOS for him for keeping up the fight and keeping it all in focus!
