What we all were thinking but were to pissed off to articulate.

2. And he's very good at that.
I'd love to see any doofus actually to defend these remarks answer to what Olbermann says here.

7. It is sad.
This is a regrettable time we're living through. I would have never imagined some of the stuff we've seen lately.

18. Nope. It sure wasn't against a Democrat.
I haven't looked at her as such in months.

12. He could have mentioned Huey Long too who was
working on a campaign for president when he was gunned down.

14. Yes, that crossed my mind too.

When I was young, I used to put my fingers in the bullet holes (left in the wall) where Long was killed, in the Capital bld in Baton Rouge.

13. Here is what I think about it.
She was just providing examples of past campaigns that lasted until early summer. It was nothing more than that. She should have used a different example but there was no wrong.

15. She could have used a different example. There were plenty.
And she could have mentioned them without mentioning RFK's assassination. Nevermind the fact that she was historically inaccurate and comparing apples and oranges.

First of all, Bill Clinton had already had the nomination wrapped up for weeks before June of 1992. In 1968, the California primary was held late due to a technicality, and RFK didn't even enter the race until March. The June of 1968 doesn't even begin to resemble the March of 2008. So even if she hadn't mentioned RFK being shot (for the third time since March), she would have been wrong in her comparisons.
