It's a logical fallacy called Tu Quoque... and yeah everyone does it. And yeah it's always a dodge.
Does accepting that W said some good things we agree with mean we are ignoring his faults? I don't think so. He's an idiot and negligent war criminal AND (not but) he happens to say correct things once in a while. Both can be true. All these people like Olbermann are saying is that Trump is worse than Bush.
I don't get Scahill's pearl-clutching.

It is rather disturbing how accurate he was. Trump isn't really too far off from a Palin, all idiotic bluster and charisma masking an intellectual and ethical vacuum. He's clearly just signing off on whatever he's told, with his own pet issues getting most of the media flak. Can't imagine Trump from before 2015 or so giving much of a crap about the Johnson amendment or anything Jesus-related, but tell him in 2017 it'll get the evangelicals on his side and of course it's a vital issue.

I think I would have preferred Palin, as her family in the White House (rather than swinging quasi-bachelor Trump) would have been entertaining on some level.

Might have to look into seeing what Olbermann is saying about the next few weeks / months / years...

Wow I forgot Keith Olbermann has such serious anger issues

Good to see Olbermann back in politics after his sportscaster hiatus, but GQ seems like an odd platform/backer...

Who the heck watches Keith Olbermann. He was so bad that even MSNBC had to get rid of him .

The people who need to hear this would never listen to Olbermann.

I didn't see anything in that video that looked like abuse. It looked like he was helping a drunk belligerent girlfriend and she decided she was done moving.

There is supposedly another video where both of them are hitting each other, so maybe with that video the outrage by Olbermann is justified, but this just sounds like hes pissed off so people will watch him be pissed of.

You have been awarded 1 Power Point for fixing the embed code for Dead Pool video Keith Olbermann: Rupert Murdoch Co. Publishing Palin Book. Thank you for helping maintain VideoSift's reliability.

I swear this show took its cues from Keith Olbermanns' real life...
