Keith Olbermann Dresses Down Donald
If you didn’t catch this last night, you really ought to check it out.
Keith Olbermann takes issue with Donald Rumsfeld’s suggestion that critics of the Bush administration are morally or intellectually confused.
Crooks and Liars has downloadable versions (this one’s a keeper) as well as a transcript:

This is a Democracy. Still. Sometimes just barely. And as such, all voices count — not just his. Had he or his President perhaps proven any of their prior claims of omniscience – about Osama Bin Laden’s plans five years ago – about Saddam Hussein’s weapons four years ago – about Hurricane Katrina’s impact one* year ago – we all might be able to swallow hard, and accept their omniscience as a bearable, even useful recipe, of fact, plus ego.But, to date, this government has proved little besides its own arrogance, and its own hubris.
