      Milbank is one of the BIG reasons why I stopped buying the Post (after 25 years) in the spring of 2008- I got sick of the avalanche of irrational sexist ranting from pathetic idiots of his ilk.

      I gave up on Olbermann for a while for the same reason-- now I watch him occasionally, but turn the channel whenever he has Milbank on.

        I permenently KO'd KO when he started his sexist crap with Hillary. And because he had the same sorry crew of Richard Wolfe, Milbank, et al. Although I used to like his little soliloquays.

        milbank hasnt been on countdown in months. olbermann officially announced that he would stop appearing on the program after he wrote on an untrue story regarding obama during the primaries. so you have nothing to worry about.

      "...Going online and doing these live chats can get really dangerous..."?

      Yeah, that's right, Jessica. Milbank and Cillizza went online and did a live chat. With smoking jackets, pipes, and a fake set behind them. And editing. And prepared shots of Clinton and the Mad Bitch logo. And a script.

      For the love of god, if you're going to comment about something, at least pretend that you know what you're talking about.

      Didn't Olbermann fire Milbank from his show for similar comments?

      Kurtz is a fine one to talk. When Clinton was a candidate, he once wrote a WaPo column that quoted a ONE-DAY-OLD website with EXACTLY ONE BLOG POST on it saying (this is from memory) "Hillary is a [rhymes with rich]."

      I then wrote to Kurtz and asked him how he would feel if another columnist quoted a one-day-old website as saying "Kurtz is a [rhymes with basshole]." He didn't reply.

      What criticisms of Clinton haven't been "pretty dumb"?

      Conservatives and progressives alike have consistantly failed to make any legitimate critiques of her that rose above "PMS" jokes. (Particularly moronic, considering a woman in her sixties!) But hey: Who cares if we sound like stupid pig-ignorant men, while we're trying to sound cool by poking fun at the chick who wants to play 'presdient'? After all: Everyone knows that's a MAN'S job.

      (For the record I've been an Obama-man from the start, but the ridiculous crap said about Hillary by the likes of Mathews, Kurtz, Millbank, and (sadly, I hate to say it but...) Olbermann really p!ssed me off. It's bad enough to hear a scumbag like Limbaugh doing it, but to hear it from members of the "liberal" press do it... Oooooh, that really frosts me.

      Dumb is not the word I would use. Sexist but that doesn't even cover it because not all women get treated the way Hillary, Pelosi and some others get treated.
