BREAKING: KO Special Comment Tonight!

Thu Dec 06, 2007 at 03:06:08 PM PDT

(I always wanted to use BREAKING in the title!)  Keith Olbermann plans on doing one of his 'Special Comments' tonight.  Subject: Dubya's dance on the Iran NIE.  Unfortunately, I am probably going to miss it.  If somebody puts a thread latter 'live blogging' it, that would be great.

Excerpt below the break...

   A bright man, or an honest man, would have realized no later than the McConnell briefing that the only true danger about Iran was the damage that could be done by an unhinged, irrational Chicken Little of a president, shooting his mouth off, backed up by only his own hysteria and his own delusions of omniscience.

   Not Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Mr Bush.  The Chicken Little of presidents is the one, Sir, that you see in the mirror.

   And the mind reels at the thought of a Vice President fully briefed on the revised Intell as long as two weeks ago -- briefed on the fact that Iran abandoned its pursuit of this imminent threat four years ago -- who never bothered to mention it to his boss.

It looks like another barn-burner by The Last Real Journalist.

Update:  Since we are coming up on the actual time of the Special Comment on the East Coast - feel free to use this as an open thread to discuss.  I, unfortunately, have to leave soon.

Update!!!:  Holy crap - I made the rec list.  Well all honor to KO.  I'll have to wait until tomorrow to read all of the comments - tonight, I'm pooped.

Final Update:

I'm trying to embed the video...
