Host Co-Host John Gibson of Fixed Noise won the Bronze on Countdown’s Worst Person In The World segment for saying Valerie Plame was part of an anti-Bush cabal within the CIA and the person who outed her deserves a medal. The Silver went to Rudy Giuliani for saying he should have–but didn’t–vote for Richard Nixon in the 1972 presidential election and the Gold went to the New York Post for mocking poll respondents who believed the government failed to heed warnings prior to 9/11 — after the same paper threw Bush under the bus in 2002 using the following headline -
9/11 Bombshell - BUSH KNEW - Prez was warned of possible hijackings before terror attacks

BUSH KNEW!!! Exactly. Stick with the message, idiots. You had it right the first time.
Gibson is proof that reich-wingers gladly sell out their country for the sake of their [perverse] party.
I liked the way he ripped into The NY Post….good stuff.
And to think Gibson used to be with MSNBC. Yuk..
Keith was clearly having fun tonight. He might have more fun tomorrow if this story is confirmed (scroll down) http://www.clevelandleader.com/
I thought Lott’s resignation was a little, uh, sudden.
Excellent job as usual. I was hoping that he would have said that the NY Post threw themselves under the bus with their commentary.
Does Olbermann allow people to submit candidates for “worst person in the world”?
Cartman @ 5:
Holy shit!
I’m still waiting for Keith to name himself again, for shitting on Hugo Chavez.
Now I can’t watch these without thinking of the Simpsons.
miss_kitty @ 9:
Good point.
Rudy’s got the bullshit turned up to 11 already.
“Gold went to the New York Post for mocking poll respondents who believed the government failed to heed warnings prior to 9/11″
You can no longer question what happened on 9/11 without being mocked. Even on this site. How does one find the truth in a sea of lies?
Is anyone here a little upset that 3000 of our citizens were killed on 9/11 and our government should have been able to prevent it? Does anyone here know what PNAC stands for? They have what they wanted, does that bother anyone?
When terrorism runs out, what will be the new jet fuel for the military industrial complex?
miss_kitty @ 9:
Have you ever seen the film “the last king of scotland”?
Jo @ 8:
The man did spend a butt load of money on his re-election campaign to resign after one year in office.
Newscorp is the modern day version of Mussolini’s Il Popolo d’Italia newspaper. There’s no low they won’t stoop to. “do you have that in a shade of 9/11?”-Rudy to wig shop employee
Glad to see he included Gibson in that. I tried… without success… to find an email link to alert KO of the Gibson quote, but thankfully, someone else got word to him.
NwOnitsway @ 13:
I have to disagree. The moderation of 9/11 alternative theories has improved substantially since the last year. Almost 50% of respondents in some polls suggest that the majority of people disbelieve the governments explanation. Especially since the govt has had such a stellar record of openness, honesty, and truth telling.
miss_kitty @ 9:
Why? Chavez is no saint.
Dr. Matt @ 19:
People are starting to like anyone who Bush hates.
After Pat Robertson called for the asassination of Chavez I personally couldn’t help but feel sympathetic towards Chavez.
But Chavez is now clearly following the path shown in The Last King of Scotland.
somehow, some piece of murdoKKK shit always finds a way to land on the list.
CD @ 20:
what exactly is wrong with chavez?
CoIntelPro @ 22:
You have no problem with a “man” that shuts down opposition media and television?
NwOnitsway @ 13:
I think somehow the dead are so sacred and the event so shocking that investigating for the truth and accepting that facts has always been a problem. 9/11 IS the modern 3rd rail of american and amurKKKan politics.
CoIntelPro @ 22:
Heads of state should be above racist name calling.
StirFry @ 12:
Not that high. Louder than nine, though. Somewhere between 9 - 11.
oops…
Truth Be Told @ 18:
I’m glad you disagree, the problem that I see is this. The mainstream media has in the last year put anything 9/11 related off the table. (I’m talking about facts that question the official version.) You have to ask yourself, do we have a free press anymore? We can see a further consolidation of the media, even local media. This only leads to one end. Unless we as Americans start to actually stand up and do something to defend our God given rights, we will loose those rights. I’m am sorry but the US has become a consumer nation. We no longer have the collective will to stand up and do the right thing. If the American people ever do stop watching “The Real World” and start engaging in the real world we live in we will wake up one day living in a dictatorship. I think that we are already there but we are being shown an illusion that we actually have a choice. Let me ask you this, when you cast your vote and kicked the Republicans out of office and replaced them with the Democrats, what did you expect would happen? Did you expect your voice to be heard? Why was it not? I will tell you why, the Democrats are the reverse side of one coin. The coin has flipped but it is still the same coin. We the people need a new party and a new direction that actually represents “We the people.”
In closing, if the Democrats would actually do their job an begin the impeachment process, we would start to learn how sick and twisted this administration really is. But you notice it hasn’t built legs with the democrats, why? Because they are not interested in finding the truth, asking the hard questions. It is their turn to skim money off the American people through the death and destruction that is OUR WAR. (yes it is all of our war until we collectively stand up and demand that it ends.) Not only are our Political parties interested in finding the truth, nor is our “free press.” The very word free press is now a lie. Corporate Press.
Dr. Matt @ 23:
If they are lying like american media is, I don’t see a problem.
CD @ 25:
I’ll give you that. It is very immature. But is he draining his economy for his wealthy friends? Is he sending his people off to die for a lie? has he left a destroyed city unrepaired unless his friends get the contracts?
CoIntelPro @ 28:
How telling and quite fascist, comrade.
CoIntelPro @ 29:
Please resist your hatred of herr dubyah and attempt to focus on Chavez.
NwOnitsway @ 27:
you make great points!
but….
1) our media is controlled
2) the democrats do not do their job.
Dr. Matt @ 30:
telling of what, namecaller?
CoIntelPro @ 29:
A head of state childish enough to use racist terms the way Chavez has is capable of a great many darker things.
Ask yourself; if Chavez did order atrocities would you believe it when they were reported?
Dr. Matt @ 31:
you could answer the questions, if you like and not presume anything about my feelings for dumbyah. or how about these:
outside of the immature displays, what is wrong with chavez?
NwOnitsway @ 27:
Trust me, I am awake in the full sense of recognizing “what is,” and what is portrayed. To answer your question, no, we don’t have a free press. Haven’t had one since the robber-baron age when the financial elite bought them all up. The newspapers and media have changed hands or consolidated, but the elites still own them either outright, or by proxy and front groups. Organizations exist that vet the political class and prepare them for their role in front of the cameras as our “leaders.” However, they are merely middle-management.
CoIntelPro @ 28:
Please enlighten all of us as how the opposition media was lying about Chavez.
CD @ 34:
what atrocities? no hypotheticals please. that reminds me of the torture question: would it be ok if my family were hostage? please stay away from that kind of thing.
Dr. Matt @ 37:
please tell me what they were saying. please do not cite AP or yahoo as sources.
CoIntelPro @ 35:
Are you too obtuse to read the 23rd post in this thread? “People” like you put your hatred of herr dubyah on par with the love of a fascist.
Do you know about Chavez’s human rights record? Or, does your hatred of herr dubyah trump whatever your hero does?
CoIntelPro @ 38:
hypothetical situations such as the one I described must be confronted head on.
