8/31/06 Morning Clips with Breakfast

Here is your morning dose of videos for Thursday, August 31, 2006:

First up: Olbermann for President!  In wake of Donald Rumsfeld's comparison of all those who are against the Iraq war to Nazi appeasers during World War II, Countdown's Keith Olbermann delivered a blistering response to the Defense Secretary about what it truly means to live in a democracy.

Second: Jon Kyl in the doghouse.  There is an intriguing Senate race going on in Arizona that until now has slipped under the radar.  Republican incumbent Jon Kyl, who until now was a sure bet to hold his Senate seat, all of a sudden finds himself having to deal with Democratic challenger Jim Pederson, who now only trails Kyl by 10-points with 18% still undecided.  Here is Pederson's latest television spot that exposes Kyl's connections to big oil.

Third: Howard Dean's first appearance on Countdown.  Back to MSNBC's primetime show, where Mr. Olbermann interviewed Howard Dean.  He asked the DNC Chairman about Rumsfeld's reckless remarks towards those that disagree with the Administration's war policy.

Fourth: Mind control Lieberman style.  Even if you have watched this already, take another look at the Lieberman Campaign's mind control television ad.  The only thing that's missing is a bottle of Corona on the beach.  Honestly though, this is a really creepy ad.

Fifth, But Not Least: John Edwards Campaigns with Lamont. During a visit to Connecticut, John Edwards told an audience why he doesn't believe Joe Lieberman should be running after Democratic voters already voiced their opinion on August 8th.  The former vice presidential candidate also explained why he was wrong to vote for the Iraq war.

More videos tomorrow.
