1. Utterly damning

No, we must take no more instruction from a serial liar like Cheney.

[opihimoimoi]

2. That ole Cheney is now really Fucked... Whenever KO goes off on someone

They lose their ass.....

Ole Gonzales got his ass in a sling today, Rachel revealed some damaging shit on her show...

Cheney is TOAST

[underpants]

3. "you ..are ... negligent"

Cheney himself criminalized the preceding administration, he abetted the crime by incompetence and negligence.

[Stuart G]

4. Great commentary, thanks for posting... must watch for all.

[Iliyah]

5. Answer a question

for me, what the hell was Pres. Bush doing while Cheney was in charged?

[Esra Star]

6. Trying to sort the red beads from the blue beads

before they had too much dribble on them.

[goose4739]

7. They send out the creepiest bastard

To be their spokesman? Are the Repulitards that screwed?

Kudos to KO for telling the truth and telling it passionately. You could even see how he was barely containing his anger as he spoke.

[L. Coyote]

8. Giving the orders to his cut-out man, Cheney

The learned a few tricks during Reagan's era.
Crimes are best committed with a long arm.

Bush was on 900+ days of vacation while in office.

10. Outta the park!

lol

Great writing in that comment. Wow. They put that together fast. Someone must have worked really hard today. :)

[Iwillnevergiveup]

11. Yeah, I was thinking that, too

unless the show had an advance copy of the speech that was leaked out.
Or, if KO had already predicted what the monster would say.

12. We support you Keith!!

Keep on speaking the truth!

[Beam Me Up]

14. No, Keith, "negligence" in regard to 9/11 is not the "worst" Mr. Cheney has to offer.

Secretary of Transportation, Norman Mineta, to the 9/11 Commisson:

MR. HAMILTON: . . . I wanted to focus just a moment on the Presidential Emergency Operating Center. You were there for a good part of the day. I think you were there with the vice president. And when you had that order given, I think it was by the president, that authorized the shooting down of commercial aircraft that were suspected to be controlled by terrorists, were you there when that order was given?

MR. MINETA: No, I was not. I was made aware of it during the time that the airplane coming into the Pentagon. There was a young man who had come in and said to the vice president, "The plane is 50 miles out. The plane is 30 miles out." And when it got down to, "The plane is 10 miles out," the young man also said to the vice president, "Do the orders still stand?" And the vice president turned and whipped his neck around and said, "Of course the orders still stand. Have you heard anything to the contrary?" Well, at the time I didn't know what all that meant. And --

MR. HAMILTON: The flight you're referring to is the --

MR. MINETA: The flight that came into the Pentagon.

MR. HAMILTON: The Pentagon, yeah.

MR. MINETA: And so I was not aware that that discussion had already taken place. But in listening to the conversation between the young man and the vice president, then at the time I didn't really recognize the significance of that.

And then later I heard of the fact that the airplanes had been scrambled from Langley to come up to DC, but those planes were still about 10 minutes away. And so then, at the time we heard about the airplane that went into Pennsylvania, then I thought, "Oh, my God, did we shoot it down?" And then we had to, with the vice president, go through the Pentagon to check that out.

MR. HAMILTON: Let me see if I understand. The plane that was headed toward the Pentagon and was some miles away, there was an order to shoot that plane down.

MR. MINETA: Well, I don't know that specifically, but I do know that the airplanes were scrambled from Langley or from Norfolk, the Norfolk area. But I did not know about the orders specifically other than listening to that other conversation.

MR. HAMILTON: But there very clearly was an order to shoot commercial aircraft down.

MR. MINETA: Subsequently I found that out.

But of course no one on the Commission thought to ask the obvious question: If there was an order to shoot down the aircraft, WHY WAS IT NOT IMPLEMENTED BEFORE THE PLANE HIT THE PENTAGON? Why would the "young man" question whether or not "the order still stood" if the order was to shoot it down? Mr. Mineta isn't saying that the order that still stood was a shoot down order. In fact, the implication by the apparent urgency and concern of the "young man" is just the opposite, that the order was, to the contrary, to let it proceed. Who is this "young man" that nervously asked the Vice President of the United States in the Situation room on the morning of 9/11/01 whether or not "the order" still stood? Did he testify before the Commission under oath regarding this peculiar incident? The answer is no, he did not. The answer is, we do not even know who he is. Are we to conclude that Mr. Mineta is making this story up, that it either has no significance or no significance worth clarifying in testimony under oath before the Commission, strongly opposed by the Bush administration, before which neither would agree to testify, only to "have a conversation," together, not under oath, with no notes or records kept?

No, "negligence" isn't the worst, Mr. Olbermanb. Not by a long shot.

[tomm2thumbs]

20. is anyone suing Cheney for negligence yet?

[florida08]

21. damn right

Cheney's culpable. Having his secret energy meeting about Iraq oil reserves long before 9/11 happened. Then they give Tenet a medal and throw him under the bus. Tenet writes a book noting how they pushed us to attack Iraq..no discussion..no debate. Now he's
quoting him? Cheney has a few loose screws..reminds me of Nero.

22. MSNBC Hangs on Every Word Warpig Utters

challenge your employer to help make the lying former VP to Go Away! Get rid of Elizabeth Cheney as an MSNBC regular too!

Honestly I tire of these "special comments" - especially when the media is 99% of the problem. Yes he's a piece of shit, we know that - I have had to turn off MSNBC these past few days - because of all the Cheney talk.

[GreenTea]

28. Keith should be the prosecutor if Cheney ever did go on trial!

Hey, a man can dream, right?

[stevietheman]
