Olbermann said this -
The man [Scheuer] has some sort of perverse fetish about seeing part of this country destroyed by nuclear weapons. He came on this program in February, 2007 and practically drooled at the prospect.
.came on this program ..
So, Scheuer made the same argument two years ago on Olbermanns show?
Does anyone recall the show? Did Olbermann challenge him at that time?
Seems to me that this is more about Olbermann going after Beck than it is going after Scheuer. E.g., why not make Scheuer worst person in the world in 2007?"
You got anything on this?

SCHEUER: Thats where we are, sir. Thats where we have been for the past 15 years. We dont treat thethis Islamist enemy as seriously as we should. We think somehow were going to arrest them, one man at a time. These people are going to detonate a nuclear device inside the United States, and were going to have absolutely nothing to respond against.
Its going to be a unique situation for a great power, and were going to have no one to blame but ourselves.
OLBERMANN: Michael Scheuer, the former head of the bin Laden unit at the CIA. Great thanks for your time tonight, sir.

So MSNBC cut a deal to keep HD off DirecTV?
Do you think Shyster will tweet about that?

The wonderful Mark Steyn is subbing for Rush Limbaugh today!
Grammie clued me in yesterday.
If you haven't heard frequent FNC guest Mark Steyn check him out on Rush.
He's so intelligent and so GOOD-LOOKING!

I love Steyn, but not as much as Cecelia, can we queue some harp music?

Re: "DISH gets HD exclusive": That should make David Shuster happy.

You should take netroots predictions with a huge grain of salt (if there is such a thing!).

I'm not a Jack Cafferty fan, but it's bizarre that Baldwin went for absolute BLOOD over Cafferty's rather benign remark.
Baldwin is a low-rent thug!

Revealing TPM piece, Johnny.
It's interesting that Shep, a news anchor, gets kudos for yelling and cussing, when it he pronounces from a liberal pov, but O'Reilly, a talkmesiter, is the "biased" devil incarnate when he gets worked up in outrage over something libs support.

I just hope Alec doesn't run for Congress in my district, Peter King's district.

Cavuto's not hosting Your World again today. Is he having more health issues? I haven't heard.

Is Julie the resident ditzy blond over at the Hen House?
Here is her latest idiocy.
"On Fox & Friends, Kilmeade said, In America we marry everybody . . . We will marry Italians and Irish and this was on his own network, no less! Just imagine if someone on the Daily Kos had said the same thing (as if!) -- OReilly could have built a weeks worth of shows around it."
Anyone with more than 2 ounces of common sense would know that this is a humorous remark by Kilmeade.
Must be a slow week over there.

It was clearly a joke by Kilmeade, you're right.
where did Shep go today? he was on this afternoon though not Fox Report, the fill in guy is OK but still. Would take that blogger with a big grain of salt though, I don't think he'd ever leave Fox.

The fill-in was Rick Folbaum. He's good. He'll be on "Red Eye" tonight. That show usually tapes at 8:30. So, I'm sure he went right down to Studio E from 12H at 8:00.

Any idea why Spud is blaming J$ and the Denver Business Journal for the MSNBC-HD/Dish Network "exclusive" claim when it's right on the Dish website?
