Keith Olbermann on responsibility and credibility.
Tip of the Hat
Keith Olbermann
"Bush's legacy: The president who cried wolf. Bush's strategy fails because it depends on his credibility." "You, sir, have become the president who cried wolf. All that you say about Iraq now could be gospel. All that you say about Iran and Syria now could be prescient and essential. We no longer have a clue, sir."

Keith Olbermann always does an amazing job at talking plainly and with great impact.

MARK SHIELDS: I'd say, Jim, that right now, three out of five American voters doubt and question George Bush's integrity and his honesty. Brace Harlow, one of the great Republican wise men in Washington who worked starting with President Roosevelt all the way through President Eisenhower, President Nixon, President Ford, and counseled Democrats as well, and a great patriot, said something that's so profoundly true: Trust is the coin of the realm. Once you lose trust, whether in relations with the Congress, in relations to the American people, you've lost your chance. You've lost your ability to communicate and lead.
