Among Keith Olbermann's Special Comments, last night's is one of his best, as he takes President Junior and his minions to task over the latest revelations to the effect that the shrub knew about Iran's shutting down of its nuclear weapons program at least since August and has been lying about it ever since.
But when KO, who is usually pretty sharp in his historical references, includes President Ulysses S. Grant in his list of worst presidents, he is wrong. Contrary to popular opinion, Grant was actually one of our greatest presidents.
I'm waiting for a retraction.
On another note, even though Olbermann's Countdown is one of the few good places to get news on the airwaves these days, he is still hampered by the stable of hack "journalists" he has to deal with. Case in point, when KO asked Newsweek's Richard Wolffe about the contrast in the coverage that the news media gave to Clinton's lie about sex versus Bush's lies about far more serious issues, Wolffe's answer was what the lawyers would call non-responsive.
