MSNBC Debuts New Series Slamming Justice Dept Under Bush

GottaLaff: "Bush League Justice", hosted by Dan Abrams, stems from the "increasing frustration" Americans feel about the politicization of the justice department.

Speaking of MSNBC, check this out:

MSNBC's Live with Dan Abrams (which is soon getting a name change) will premiere a new series tonight called "Bush League Justice." Abrams writes on the MSNBC blog that the idea for the series "stems from my increasing frustration and outrage over how the Bush Administration has politicized the usually apolitical Justice Department."

"Bush League Justice" marks the latest in a push by MSNBC to take the offensive against the Bush administration, with Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews, and the once possible hiring of Rosie O'Donnell. Jacques Steinberg of The New York Times wrote last month about MSNBC's "three-hour block of nighttime talk...in which the White House takes a regular beating."

"Bush League Justice" will air Monday-Thursday at 9pmET.

That "White House takes a regular beating" comment, not so much. I wouldn't put Tweety and Dan Abrams in that category.

But I do appreciate any attempt by Abrams to draw attention to the beating Democracy has taken at the hands of this horrendous administration.

Digg!

I have a suggestion for filling the last hour of the three hour block. How 'bout bringing Phil Donahue back? We've never needed his voice more than we do now. And, c'mon, MSNBC, you kinda OWE him, don'cha think?

I HOPE DAN'S SHOW STARTS TO OPEN THE EYES OF THE PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY TO THE TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF THE AMERICAN CONSTITUTION.

JUST MAYBE THE PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY WILL DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY OF THE GOVERNMENT, AND GET IMPEACHMENT BACK ON THE TABLE.

ALONG WITH IMPEACHING BUSH AND CHENEY THEY SHOULD ADD PELOSY, ROCKEFELLER, AND ANY OTHER REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT INVOLVED IN THIS CORRUPT REGIME.
IMPEACH INDICT IMPRISON THE BASTARDS!

Olberman is the best

Keith Olberman is without a doubt the most fearless newscaster I have ever seen or heard. Besides his outstanding editorials where he totally tanks anything Bush, he puts things into a perspective often not thought of.

Of course, trashing "Billo" O'Reilly and Fox Company ain't bad either. I think MSNBC does a great job and I can see why Fox hates them with a passion.
