The MSNBC maverick gives Salon the countdown on his anti-Bush orations, battling with Bill O'Reilly, and the nauseating truth about cable news.

    how it is done

    I talked with some elderly folks the other day and I tried to explain to them that all the activity in congress right now is not just an effort to get immunity for the bush administration for violation of the war crimes act. It is bigger than that. When you drag the dirt out and stir it up for everyone to see it is human nature to get used to it and get over it. That way they can get by with even more horrendous crap later on. The assholes are just getting started. We need a real leader now to tell the truth in a way that everyone will recognize it, vote their conscience, and refuse to accept a stolen election. I wonder if that person exists.

    —No Name Given
