Keith Olbermann is speaking out against the Imus program -- taking a tough stand (just like Barack Obama did)... Don Imus went TOO FAR...He was also a fool to hire a reckless producer like Bernard and allow him to moderate things -- Bernard had very poor judgement and did not bring out the best in Imus...Bush's big mistake was getting in bed with his "producer" Karl Rove (and he will help insure that Bush goes down in history as one of the worst Presidents our country has ever had). -s2@TheMarketplaceIsSpeakingAndItWillSpeakAgainIn2008.com _________________________________________________ <<...Imus and Dubya share a common disability. They both surround themselves with a posse of "yes-men" who tell them how great they are. This echo chamber separates them from the real world, prohibits honest feedback, and causes them both to grow in arrogance. No wonder Imus can't tell where the line is anymore. (Bush can't either)...>> huffingtonpost.com

April 10, 2007, 5:10 pm Stephen Colbert vs. No Impact Man Posted by WSJ.com Staff Video @link. BTW Sheik Kahlail Gibran or whatever it is, is behind the Imus Conspiracy.. Energy Roundup has written before (here, here and here) about Colin Beavan, a/k/a No Impact Man, the New York City resident trying to live for a year with little or no net impact on the environment. The experiment, which has landed him a book and movie deal, involves such inconveniences (shared by his wife and daughter) as composting his own garbage, forgoing toilet paper, transportation and elevators and never buying anything new. As if being noticed by Energy Roundup were not enough, Beavan has also been profiled by the New York Times, NPR and a host of other news outlets. Last night, however, he appeared in what could be his most “hostile” forum yet, The Colbert Report, where ultra-right-wing-esque host Stephen Colbert wasted an entire roll of paper towels, called Beavan “the patriarch of these eco-Mansons” and timed Beavan with an empty microwave (”It’s pure waste,” said his stage manager). Beavan wrote of having “butterflies” in his stomach ahead of the interview. See for yourself how he handled it. – Mark Gongloff blogs.wsj.com
