Finally, some of the B0 apologists woke up and smell the hypocrisy!
K0 on W’s FISA law 5 months ago
Now it begins to look like the bureaucrats of the Third Reich, trying to protect the Krupp family, the industrial giants, re-writing the laws of Germany for their benefit.
K0 on B0 supporting FISA
Senator Obama also refusing to cower even to the left on the subject of warrantless wiretapping. He’s planning to vote for the FISA compromise legislation, putting him at odds with members of his own party . . .
Greenwald continues to analyse
Olbermann’s full-scale reversal on how he talks about these measures now that Obama — rather than George Bush — supports them. On an almost nightly basis, Olbermann mocks Congressional Democrats as being weak and complicit for failing to stand up to Bush lawbreaking; now that Obama does it, it’s proof that Obama won’t “cower.” Grave warning on Olbermann’s show that telecom amnesty and FISA revisions were hallmarks of Bush Fascism instantaneously transformed into a celebration that Obama, by supporting the same things, was leading a courageous, centrist crusade in defense of our Constitution.
Indeed, Glen. It’s what we experienced during this primary. With everyone – including you. Glad you rejoined the reality based community.

And I used to think that O’Reilly was the only one who could look straight into the eye of the camera and say something that was totally and bizzarely outside the realm of reality.
Olbermann ought to put his own mug onscreen as his show’s [perennial] “worst person in the world” segment, because nobody is worse than he is every time he opens his mouth and spews. Think back to his pathologic rants against Hillary Clinton during the primaries. It would appear that he can’t stand any criticism whatsoever of his hero, The Pretender to the Nomination, even in the face of unequivocal fact. Could it be that he is The Pretender’s alter ego? Perfect match.
