In what is bound to be one of the most stunning political news of this election season, the man who has become most hated President in all of American history, George W Bush, viciously attacks the Democratic presumptive nominee on foreign soil. In a speech to the Knesset on the 6Oth anniversary of Israel's independence P. Bush said that "some seem to believe we should negotiate with terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along" Bush continued in his assault, "we have heard this foolish delusion before. As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American Senator declared: 'Lord, if only I could have talked to Hitler, all of this might have been avoided.' We have an obligation to call this what it is -- the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history."
This has got to be one of the lowest of lows, even for Bush. It is offensive on so many levels. My blood is literally boiling under my skin from this. I mean for a sitting President to attack a fellow American, moreover one who is poised to succeed him with such vitriol and unprovoked hatred in a foreign country passes for treason in my book. I don't know, Bush probably thinks his 20% approval ratings aren't low enough because I can't fathom anything that he or the man he is trying to help, 100 year grandpa McCain, will gain from this. He has only cemented his tarnished image in the eyes of the American public and given us another reason to despise him. In times like these only one man can hold retard-in-chief to account. Yes I'm talking about our great hero Keith Olbermann who last night offered a biting Special Comment on Bush's derangement about the war.
That was one of Keith's most powerful special comments yet but with today's news about Bush comparing Obama to Nazi appeasers, I want our hero to up the ante and land Bush the hat-trick on "Worst Persons In The World" tonight. I think Bush deserves all three medals on the dishonors. The bronze for saying that Obama want to appease terrorists because he said he will talk to leaders of so called "rogue states" notwithstanding the fact that the Bush admin. itself negotiated with leaders of these same "rogue states" like North Korea and Lybya and have reached agreements; the silver for comparing Obama's willingness to speak to these foreign leaders to Neville Chamberlain's appeasement of the Nazis in the 1930s; and the gold for the fact that the idiot made these shameless attacks all on foreign soil and the fact that his own Defense Secretary, Robert Gates, today announced that he would be opening talks with Iran which Bush himself placed on an 'axis of evil' a few years ago.
If you support my drive to have Keith present Bush with three Worst Person medals tonight please recommend this diary; if you believe Bush was right in what he said and deserves the night off don't. A worst person Hat-trick is not unprecedented, Billo and Rudolph Guiliani have both achieve this feat in the past. For those of you who don't remember check out the video:

This might not be impeachment but it will go a long way in cooling down my boiling blood. I was on the fence between Hillary and Obama for a while and have frequently vacillated between the two but the desperation with which the Republicans are attacking Obama have cause me to realize that they are scared to their teeth of facing him the fall. This alone has pushed me fair and square in the Obama's camp. If the special election in Mississippi and the developing backlash against Bush's remarks are any indication, I hope the Republicans continue to play from that same old dirty tired book they thought they could rely on. Their asses are gonna be handed to them and I can't wait!
update: I tried to post a video of Keith's special comment last night and Bush's remarks from the msnbc website (they allow embedding of their videos) but apparently daily kos does not support this embedding. Try to find them on youtube, not successful yet if you do please post in comments or give me a link.
