Everyone: Switch to decaf. Before jumping off on a conspiracy rant, consider the fact that "Assad" can sound like "Osama" when someone is speaking quickly or softly, especially when speaking off the cuff. Sure, now that you KNOW what he said, you can tell the difference. But these folks, whether you like them or not, started off with the opposite information at hand: an AP story that erroneously reported Osama instead of Assad. Or do none of you ever make honest mistakes? Whoa! Everyone: Switch to decaf.

I'm talking about Rudy's actual quote. Keith said "terrorists" when referring to Rudy's remarks. And from what I see the story was based on his comments saying the Democrats were talking to them or inviting them to the Inaugural Ball. Rudy either truly doesn't believe that making this irresponsible rhetoric for a presidential candidate or he does believe this making him delusional. Either way, its newsworthy.

The issue for me is that the correct quote was right there for everyone on Countdown's staff to see it and nobody caught on and Olbermann was left twisting in the wind as a result when the correct quote played in the very segment where they used the incorrect quote.

And it's not like conservatives have never misquoted someone. "Al Gore invented the Internet" was corrected the next day and then an audiotape came out proving absolutely that he didn't say it, but conservatives still whip that one out to this day.

We can talk all you want about Rudy, his policies, and what he's said later. Right now, this is talk about how Keith Olbermann, and MSNBC by proxy, disseminated a story that was clearly false... and instead of correcting it like a responsible news organization should, have decided to ignore it.

Nor does he understand how something like this hurts his credibility. Olbermann has corrected himself over lesser things than this, but he has his limits.
