Gives me the heebie jeebies. Liberals are asking Keith Olbermann - formerly of msnbc (love saying that), to run for Lieberman's seat in Connecticut.

I have to say I am not fond of the idea. I like it about as much as I would like it if Rush ran. Which pretty well means....no.
But he has a right to run if he wants. But let's hope Connecticut does not vote for him.

Woo-hoo!! I'm moving to Connecticut so I can vote for him!
In all seriousness, I'd say he's every bit as qualified for the Senate as any of the Fox News' anchors/commentators who have held and may again run for political office. He's certainly AT LEAST as qualified and certainly as intelligent as most of the new tea party members of Congress. I KNOW he knows American history much better than Michele Bachmann.

I don't think would want to give up all that power. As an irresponsible talking head, he can call people all sorts of names and tell the president to "shut the he11 up" as he did to President Bush. He'd also have to back up his positions with facts or something that looks like facts instead of just his skewered view and highly inflammatory opinion.
On the other hand, he's prohibited by contract from appearing on TV or radio for something like 6-9 months, so he has time on his hands. Maybe a run for Senate would keep him focused. I don't think it's a good idea for people with these borderline personalities to have too much time on their hands.

Ugh! I wouldn't vote for him for dog catcher. But it sure could happen; the Democrats are having a field day since they installed an illegal alien in the WH.
It's lawlessness and anything goes. Al Franken sits wrongfully in Congress, one of O's attorney henchmen on that scene to steal that election from Norm Coleman with trunksful of "ballots". You see, even the average politician cannot afford endless legal bills. But Obama's Arab and Soros money NEVER runs out.

Annie, I do not support either party. But I stand firm in my affirmation that the Democratic party committed treason in order to win an election by illegally and unconstitutionally putting an ineligible foreign and domestic enemy into the WH. I have a copy of Nazi Pelosi's ("we must pass the bill before we can read it")fraudulent DNC certification, clearly omitting the "eligibility clause".
Oops!
lol this gave me the heebie jeebies too..until I noticed the post was made 2 years ago...
