Rex Murphy has a long history of commentary like this. He is also more eloquent and clever, and far less long winded. Rex and Olberman are both Liberal/Democrats and it’s normal for them to vehemently criticize their conservative political opponents.
The real problem is the electoral system itself. Change that and you will have much more government accountability. Olbermann didn’t mention that once.

This is great!

It’s interesting to note that we never get commentary like this in Canada. Even if our Prime Minister were equivalently guilty of deeds like those of Bush, to the extent possible under our parliamentary system, commentary at this level would likely result in one heck of a libel suit, requiring both the newscaster and the network to prove everything said to be essentially true. Even if accurate, the cost to prove everything spoken would be immense.

I’m glad Olbermann is doing this. Even in the US, he must be under considerable pressure.
