Dana Milbank Gets Purged!

Dana Milbank has been canned from Keith Olbermann's Kountdown program on MSNBC. Milbank's offense has to write that,
Barack Obama has long been his party's presumptive nominee. Now he's becoming its presumptuous nominee.
..... Some say the supremely confident Obama -- nearly 100 days from the election ..... has become a president-in-waiting. But in truth, he doesn't need to wait: He has already amassed the trappings of the office, without those pesky decisions.
A mere suggestion that Obama's world victory tour is a little premature and possibly might feed into the Republican mantra that Barack might be a meglomaniac gets someone 86-ed from a liberal news program. No wonder Milbanks referred to Olbermann as a "whiner"! He obviously found Kountdown more confining than CNN!

Good point Y-Dog. You raise a real "speed bump" here. I think here's a case where Olbermann went overboard.

Yeah, good post, Dawg. I was troubled by this development, too. In the primaries we're supposed to fall in love; in the general election we're supposed to fall in line. Well, we are really in never-neverland here. The twilight zone. No one's really been nominated yet. It's not really party-treason to raise issues about Barry being a little premature here on his hubris. OTOH, what Milbank is accusing Barack of is APWBB (appearing presidential while being black).

This is an authentic speed bump.

Talking about "presumptuous" and "supremely confident" candidates with mountains of "hubris", how about that guy, Senator John Edwards? Say hey, what do you say?

Soros' Proxy said...

The MSM told us that Bush was a good guy and Gore was a liar. Gore won the Noble Prize and Bush has reduced us to our knees, destroying our reputation, our currency, and our economy. Mr. Good Guy turned out to be an arrogant socipath, a dunce who has been the worst President in our history. Now, the RNC puts together their "He's an uppity Negro narrative," as begun by Kruathammer and enhanced by Milbank, and it passed for responsible journalism. Good riddance, Dana,

I find fault with Vigilante's parenthetical expression. And take exception to Soros' comment. Maybe some self-reflection and self-examination would be useful?
