Fascism, that is. Keith Olbermann called George Bush a fascist for demanding that a law be passed to protect telecom corporations from lawsuits for breaking the law. It's a comprehensive, and pithy commentary, but complex. The advice I'd give Olbermann is to consider eliminating a few of the descriptive adjectives, the colorful nouns, and the flamboyant verbs he uses to describe the president and his actions, because, sometimes the message is hard to follow.
When Olbermann calls Bush's argument, "crap" it says it all.
Bush has been using fear as a stick to beat timid lawmakers into submission. He's been using fear to scare Americans. And it's crap, plain and simple. He, and the NSA, CIA and FBI have all the tools they need to spy on terrorists, legally. And even when they had those tools, they broke the law, and now they want absolution for themselves and for the corporations.
Crap, indeed.
And when lawmakers stand up to Bush, the press notices. And that's good.
