Former Bush White House press secretary Ari Fleischer appeared on the Thursday edition of MSNBC's "Morning Joe" and stopped the program cold when he challenged the hosts as to whether they were "going after Democrat members of Congress for why they aren't distancing themselves from Keith Olbermann?" Co-anchors Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, who had been discussing the battle between the White House and Rush Limbaugh, were silent for a moment before Brzezinski admitted, "That was a good one. We're all thinking."

That was awesome—with one sentence he puts the whole thing in perspective, while that blonde bubblebrain sits there thinking she’s got him cornered.

Olbermann is the #1 spokesman for the DemocRATik Party. They can’t denounce him.

Probably the first time Mika actually ‘thought’ in a very long time.

She's awful, her father was awful and his boss was awful too.

Ari was the only person I ever saw appear on The Daily Show and make Jon Stewart look like a fool. I didn’t think he was that great when he was press secretary, but he’s hugely smart and fearless.

Why ask this question. We all know the answer. Olbermann and his rabid ilk are free to say or do what they wish, and their supporters will urge them on.

ANY Conservative will be vilified and, possibly, investigated by the Sec Svc if they dare speak in any similar fashion. (See Jim Robinson Thread Today)

Nothing new here. Just your run-of-the-mill double standard and Lib hypocrisy. Nothing more, nothing less.

Go easy on Joe. I saw him on a Sunday show last week standing up for our side just fine. The libs really are lame when someone gets in their faces.

I don’t know who Mika is, but I happened to tune in to her and Joe’s new talk show on the radio and after a few minutes of listening to them I had to switch dial.

"Always like Ari.

I have argued to my friends that the beginning of Bush's downfall was the departure of Ari Fleischer and the installation of Scott McClellan (the worst spokesman in the history of the spoken word) as WH Press Secretary.

Fleischer was tough but cordial, and never worked himself or his boss into a corner; The exact antithesis of McClellan.
