Olbermann on Moyers This Week


From the Bill Moyers Journal Newsletter for Friday, December 14, 2007:

“There's no possible interpretation of what's happened other than to say that this Administration and the Republican Party, to some degree the Democratic Party, have taken advantage of fear... to expand their powers on the premise always of security”
- Keith Olbermann
