Big difference between Tweety and Olbermann tonight!
Tweety's first 20 plus minutes were coverage of the alleged threat to NYC subways.

Keith opened with the news that Rove is going back to the Grand Jury and it took several segments at the top of the show.

Tweety=hack
Olbermann=journalist

2. Plus, KO mocked the threat as another ploy by the admin.
So as to distract us from the real news, Rove is being indicted.

3. He said.....
...there were about 13 such "coincidences" where there were convenient terror threats knocking unwanted news stories off the air.

15. Oh yes he did and I cheered
If it wasn't for him, no one would be saying anything about it. Even out here in flyover country, us dumb shumcks noticed the *coincidences* a long time ago. People are not as stupid as this administration would like to think.

17. You can't ask for anything more than that from an anchor.
Everybody should have a raised eyebrow when presented with the "news."

13. Thirteen instances CANNOT be considered coincidence
It's their MO.

I just think the public is ticked enough at their failed policies that they are permanently impaired.

10. So did I
It's nice to hear it coming from somewhere other than here.

7. In a different way
I love them both, too, but their shows, although political, are supposed to be comedy and are more satirical in nature.

8. Olbermann's the best.
Stewart and Maher are tied for a close second.

14. KO is always a Knock Out! Tweety is just a Canary of Convenience. Period.

16. Olbermann has cojones
And Tweety has.... well, he doesn't have conjones. I'll leave it to your imagination what he has instead of cojones.

18. It's not so much what Tweety has (or doesn't have). . . it's more
about what he does. Which is to both suck and blow the Bushies at every available opportunity. It's just shameful to watch. He does look horribly depressed though. I think he knows they're cooked but can't quite bring himself to say it on air. Can't wait to see his head explode when the indictments come down.
