Seriously, what would we do without Keith Olbermann? And why isn't there more out there like him, heaven knows there are enough ridiculous conservative shows on cable news.
Okay, I could get off topic here so back to the matter at hand. Keith talked about the Israeli-Palestinian conference going on in Annapolis this week and Bush's "contribution" to the peace process. While Abbas and Olmert are trying to hammer out some sort of agreement to stop the bloodshed and economic ruin in the region, Bush was doing......absolutely nothing. Except for a lame attempt at a cheap photo-op.

On Tuesday’s Countdown, Keith Olbermann talked with Newsweek’s Richard Wolffe about President Bush’s failed foreign policy and his awkward cameo appearance at today’s Middle East Peace Summit in Annapolis, Maryland. Looking confused and distracted, the president butchered the names of Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas *shock* and even needed guidance on where to stand with the two leaders for a photo op — which was apparently the only reason he attended at all.
After all the hype and spin about how much President Bush cares about bringing peace to the Middle East, and how he’s worked the phones and listened in preparation, our Commander in Chief took off after spending less than three hours at the summit.
Truly pathetic, what a shame that this man is our President. Bush can hardly stand peace, all the man wants is war. He certainly has started enough of those already. What is it, 418 days to go until he's gone?
It can't come soon enough.
