Leave it to Keith Olbermann to link the topics of Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers and the 9/11 attacks. On his Countdown show on Tuesday night, the MSNBC anchor suggested that Miers was the person who handed President Bush a memo in August 2001 that warned of Osama bin Laden's desire to attack the U.S. This was the same memo that some on the left have used to justify their criticisms that the President should have foreseen and prevented the 9/11 attacks based on the memo's general warnings about bin Laden's intentions. Olbermann teased his Tuesday night show with a photograph of Miers handing the President a memo. He dated the photograph as "August 6, 2001, the day [President Bush] got the PDB, titled 'Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S.'"
Olbermann led his show with the Miers nomination, and, after noting that the President planned not to release Miers' internal White House documents, he returned to the topic of the bin Laden memo, revealing that "there's another document being speculated about tonight," and described the document as the "infamous memo warning [President Bush] that Osama bin Laden was determined to strike in the United States."
Olbermann, in his opening teaser: "Which of these stories will you be talking about tomorrow? The President meets the press. The Senator whose quote may have inspired the nomination of Harriet Miers turns out to have been a Democrat [Patrick Leahy]. And then there's this photo of Ms. Miers handing the President a document, handing it to him on August 6, 2001, the day he got the PDB titled 'Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S.'"
Olbermann, at about 8:04pm EDT, over a photo of Miers leaning over Bush with a piece of paper in hand: "And there's another document being speculated about tonight: This one. Ms. Miers and President Bush in a photograph going over a briefing paper at his Crawford ranch in 2001. We don't know which briefing paper that is in the photo, but we do know that on that very same day, August 6th, a little over one month before the 9/11 attacks, Ms. Miers handed the President the now-famous or infamous memo warning him that Osama bin Laden was determined to strike in the United States."
What's the kearning on that memo?
Now if KO can just tie in Diebold and Halliburton he'll hit the Trifecta.
Who is Keith Olberman?
Olbermann should go back to sports, but I'm not sure there is a media outlet around that would take him as a sports person.
He could not make it on ESPN, and he is a failure here. His crap continues on PMSNBC.
I guess that was the only document someone handed to him that day!
"Who is Keith Olberman?"
Same clown who coined the ESPN phrase "He put the biscuit in the basket" every time he did a hockey highlight. Yeah, he sucked at sports, too.
KO is the epitome of a liberal moonbat ~ Bump!
Be Ever Vigilant!
Who handed Bill Clinton the "memo" or intelligence saying the same?
An irrelevant turd in an obscure bowl.
Moonbat removal BTTT
Olbermann is a DU god. He is a true kool aid drinker.
For months after the 04 election he continued to hawk stories on how Bush stole Ohio. The DU'ers ate it up, and were sure it was a MSM conservative conspiracy that no one else picked up the story.
It never occured to them the reason the MSM didn't run with it, was that it was a certified moonbat kook theory.
Olbermann resurrects dead attacks on the President just like the New Jersey 'Rat Party resurrects dead Senators.
Talk about wandering out in the fever swamps to find a story that fits your template.
If Harriet Miers was THAT good, how come she didn't nudge out Condoleezza Rice for Secretary of State?
What is MSNBC?
Is that the shopping channel?
You mean Olbermann has stopped beating that dead horse?
Well, he did have a lot of brush to clear. ;-)
Now this is a valuable bit of information on the qualifications of a SCT nominee: She HANDED the President a memo.
