It’s a shame Keith Olbermann’s not more popular.

If he was, my pointing out that this denial by Sy Hersh that he ever claimed that Cheney had a death squad was directly contradicted by audio found at this post:

“It’s an executive assassination ring, essentially.”

…might have some more oomph. Alas, it’s Keith Olbermann, and it’s Sy Hersh: nobody with a functional brain stem takes either seriously.

Which is not really a shame, I suppose.

MOLES! Sy Hersh sees Cheney MOLES in the Pentagon!

They whisper to Hersh in the night, you know.

They tell Hersh to do things. Things that he promised his mother that he’d never ever do, because he was a good boy:

Cheney has moles in Obama Administration, reporter says

Former Vice President Dick Cheney has moles in the Obama government which report back to him from the Pentagon, investigative reporter Seymour Hersh told NPR and MSNBC on Tuesday.

Speaking with NPR’s Terri Gross, Hersh revealed that the former Vice President — who he characterized as “really smart” — has individuals that report back to him from key positions in government. He called these individuals “stay-behinds,” an intelligence term generally applied to insiders left behind in foreign governments after the occupying power is driven out.

But thank God that he’s got Keith Olbermann to listen to him talk about the moles. Hersh never believed any of those lies that the sinister-weasels said about Olbermann, by the way: he knows that Olbermann’s Magic Piece of Paper is everything that Olbermann says that it is.  The weasels plot with the moles, you see.  They’re all in league with each other!  And it all goes back to Cheney*!

But he’s been good! He wants his mother to know that he’s been a good boy! No matter what the moles whisper.

*The man has gone fishing, ye Leftists. He was also never really into you guys in the first place. Try to accept that, OK? It’s not healthy for you. I mean, look at Sy Hersh: he’s one mini-stroke away from starting to babble about Reptoids. Including, alas, all the bits about the Jews.
