1. Okay, I've changed my mind. If Bill Kristol thinks this is ridiculous, then I say fire Keith.

I'M KIDDING!!!

[Justitia]

2. You know it's ludicrous when even that rightwing hack is calling bullshit. -eom

[Lucy Goosey]

3. Wow. I agree with Kristol!

That never happens.

[nadinbrzezinski]

4. Blind nut finds a nut too!!!!

And I need a shower... I agree with Bill Kristol.

If more RWers go there... Keith will be back.

[gkhouston]

5. Ok, that's probably the first laugh KO's gotten today.

Getting Kristol's support is a dubious distinction.

[Kalyke]

6. Good Lord. I didn't wake up today thinking I'd be agreeing with Bill Kristol!

:wow:

[cynatnite]

7. I agree with William "The Bloody"...OMG...I just vomited in my mouth. n/t

[Naturyl]

8. Even Kristol can't pretend it makes any sense (n/t)

11. Kristol's more like a broken millennial calendar

10. This whole incident is an exercise in journalistic integrity.

and if you ask me, it's designed to point out the LACK of journalistic integrity at Fox "news".

There is a difference between FOX and MSNBC, and MSNBC is proving. Bill Kristol and the rest of the righties are only pissed because they know this issue is making them look like right wing partisan hacks.. not at all "fair and balanced".

Fox is being played by MSNBC, and they don't even realize it.

12. That should give everyone pause n/t

[Odin2005]

13. OMG, I think this is the first time that Krystol is ever right!

[RamboLiberal]

14. Damn - Kristol nails it

First, he donated money to candidates he liked. He didn’t take money, or favors, in a way that influenced his reporting.

Second, he’s not a reporter. It’s an opinion show. If Olbermann wants to put his money where his mouth is, more power to him.

Third, GE, the corporate parent of MSNBC, gives money to political organizations. GE executives and, I’m sure, NBC executives give money. Why can’t Olbermann?

Perhaps Olbermann violated NBC News “policy and standards.” But NBC doesn’t have real news standards for MSNBC—otherwise the channel wouldn’t exist. It’s a little strange to get all high and mighty now.

But there’s now a Republican House, and perhaps GE is trying to curry favor by dumping Olbermann?

15. Good Lord, the sky is yellow with purple polka dots.

I'm not kidding--and I agree with Kristol. I need to gargle now; ick.
