    Senator Thune, Senator Baucus, and the rest of the Senate has been bought and sold by the Health Insurance industry and their affiliated companies including hospitals, nursing homes, and pharmaceutical companies. Neither Republicans nor Democrats are exempt from the cronyism, except that Dems are more likely to reject it; sadly, that is, unless the price is right.

    I watched this and applauded as he raked Arkansas 4th district Rep. Mike Ross and Sen. Blanche Lincoln over the coals. I will vote third party rather than vote for Plantation Blanche next year. And I'm no longer living in Mike Ross's district... But I might as well be... my Rep. in the 3rd district is John Boozman. And at least he's a Republican, so I really expected no different from him... But Mike Ross and Blanche Lincoln have no excuse. Both are bought and sold by the insurance industry and big pharma.... They are both DINOs... It just sickens me!

      Olberman makes Beck look like the new Socratese. All he does is invent new insults. Excuse me. He's not that creative. He recycles insults. He screens his guests and edits what they say. At least Beck, with all his nuttyness, actually debates. You should have seen him tear the mouthpiece from ACORN apart. Unfortunately I see more Olberman than Beck, so I know what a dud he is.

      I loved that he called out health care lobby prostitutes (including the "Blue Dog" Dems). You're sure to get plenty of negs from con prostitutes who are being paid to spread misinformation and propaganda.

        Yuck, can one you libs buy Olderwomann a new weave for Christmas? I just want to pull that thing off of his bald head and have it styled.

        Olderwomann is sucking down the wind from O'Reilly's last fart. Bill is crucifying him in the ratings. Fox is killing the competition. MSNBC is #7 below the food network. How awful for Olderwomann. How embarrassing for liberals. You guys must be mortified.

        One of the best 'special comments' Olberman has done. Exposed not only the bought and paid for Republicans, but also the blue dog Dems who sell out their constituents to insurance companies and big pharma. These scum bags are making millions of dollars while 'the people' who elected them are crying out for reasonable health care costs on par with the rest of the civilized world.

        What blows my mind is how the republican 'base'( the poor and under educated ones - not the rich ones who are manipulating them)can support these thugs and thieves in congress while being screwed by them! Unbelievable ignorance and stupidity!

        Keep the heat on Keith Olberman and Rachel Maddow, this country needs you to expose crooked republican and blue dogs dems on msnbc as the main stream media is already under the thumb of the corporations who's agenda remains control of the ignorant masses who are nothing more than fatted pigs being led year after year to the slaughter house.

          I think it was extremely accurate and he criticized both sides in his special comment. He criticized the money takers, both Republican and Democrat. He brought the real problem to the forefront.

            Olbermann is a festering boil on the rump of journalism.
