This woman is why we invented the word cunt.

Olbermann is being ridiculous. Those remarks were not even remotely offensive.


To the general populace (i.e. you and me), it comes off as the unintended screwup, but to people who are entrenched in government, it comes off as a very calculated comment. Don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating that one ought to swallow everything that people "in the know" feed us on the news streams, but nor should one disregard expert (and I use that word hesitantly) testimony.

I think it's a brilliant piece of work by Clinton. I'm sure she knows what she's saying and doing, having been in politics for so long. Knowing that, you can't ignore her statement as just an unintended screwup. That's what it boils down to.

Points taken. My left eyebrow (the one that detects oddities) raised when I noticed the weird pivoting from camera to camera, i.e. say something, look down, shake head, look at new camera, say something, look down, shake head, ... etc.

I can agree that some people may see his presentation as a bit "dramatic," but megalomaniacal? Unless we see some video evidence of him stating how important and great he himself is, I don't think you can conclude that. Otherwise, I think you would have to admit that anyone who stated an opinion in a dramatic way is a megalomaniac. As for using Murrow's line, well, yeah it probably is a bit presumptuous.

Anyway, I realized after Jon Stewart's appearance on Crossfire that if I was ever going to get anything useful out of these talking-heads shows, I would have to separate the people from the message. In other words, if you had to read what he said, rather than hear him say it, you might think of it differently. In this regard, and in this instance, I think this Olbermann comment (from 7:13 onward) is brilliant.

Huh?

edit:
Actually, nevermind. I don't care about whatever it was you were trying to say.

If I take the number of views of this video, subtract off the number of upvotes, and add the number of downvotes, will that give me the approximate number of racists on the sift?
