The headlines about them are, of course, entirely wrong.

It is not essential that a past president, bullied and sandbagged by a monkey posing as a newscaster, finally lashed back.

It is not important that the current President’s portable public chorus has described his predecessor’s tone as “crazed.”

Our tone should be crazed. The nation’s freedoms are under assault by an administration whose policies can do us as much damage as al Qaida; the nation’s marketplace of ideas is being poisoned by a propaganda company so blatant that Tokyo Rose would’ve quit.

Nonetheless. The headline is this:

Bill Clinton did what almost none of us have done in five years.

He has spoken the truth about 9/11, and the current presidential administration.

1. And then he said. . .

Then again, Chris Wallace might be braver still. Had I in one moment surrendered all my credibility as a journalist, and been irredeemably humiliated, as was he, I would have gone home and started a new career selling seeds by mail.

4. The "monkey" reference was my favorite line, until Keith kept talking

he kept the nails coming!

"...bullied and sandbagged by a monkey posing as a newscaster" (BANG!)
"the President, has been given the greatest “pass” for incompetence and malfeasance in American history!" (BANG!)
"this president. To hear him bleat and whine and bully at nearly every opportunity" (BANG!)
"Mr. Bush has now moved, unmistakably and without conscience or shame, towards re-writing history" (BANG!)
...Of course he is not honest enough to do that directly. (BANG!)

And the hits just kept on comin'!

This man is On FIRE!

5. It's strange to see a commentator on a cable network...

...go further than I would have in some ways.

I've never called Chris Wallace a "monkey."

8. If only these excerpts would appear on the front pages

of the the newspapers tomorrow morning!
Keith is speaking truth to power!

"The Bush Administration did not try to get Osama bin Laden before 9/11.

The Bush Administration ignored all the evidence gathered by its predecessors.

The Bush Administration did not understand the Daily Briefing entitled "Bin Laden Determined To Strike in U.S."

The Bush Administration did not try."

10. Bravo. Bravo.

Millions of bundles and boxes and bouquets of roses to you, Keith.

Bravo!!!!!!!

11. Was Phil Rizzuto the sportscaster who frequently said, "Oh my!"?

Or was that somebody else?

Did you notice Keith's hommage tonight to an 88-year old Phil Rizzuto, who evidently watches the show? Keith said listening to Rizzuto when he was young made him want to be a sportscaster himself. Wonder if Keith still is a Yankees fan.

[Joanie Baloney]

13. Nope...

It is Dick Enberg. And he still uses "Oh my!". Rizzuto said "Holy Cow!"

Can't wait until K.O. comes on here on the left coast.

12. KAPOW! BAM! SMASH! CRACK!

That was as close to calling out the president as I have ever heard. Can't wait to see that clip!!
