Ted, > Olbermann was non partisan before Bush came into the picture.

I really doubt that


He was a sports announcer for years. How many sports announcers do you know who get into politics? The jock who reads the sports news on the local NBC affiliate can barely read the stuff coming out of the teleprompter let alone talk intelligently about democracy.

Do you remember Olbermann critiquing Bush I or Clinton or New Gingrich? I don't. There are a lot of people who never paid much attention to the feds and their doings until the past 6 years. That will be one of Bush's legacies too.....one of the few positive ones. ;-)

Condemnation of Bush-Cheney should be a non-partisan issue now that the evidence is in. Other issues which should be non-partisan are geting the hell out of Iraq, re-dedicating ourselves to diplomacy, re-regulating big oil companies to stop price-fixing and gouging, moving toward national health care, allowing the gov to negotiate for cheaper drugs, securing our southern border better, getting us off oil as our #1 auto fuel, protecting our environment, protecting US jobs, balancing our budgets, defending our Constitution, outlawing warrantless wire-tapping, holding corrupt leaders accountable and insuring the security of our votes by requiring paper ballots (and more).

All of the above requires entirely new leadership in the White House. I am talking about a new president and VP who disagree with Bush-cheney on 90% of the issues. Because Bush-Cheney have made all of the above problems much worse.
