[...] Keith Olbermann, you’ll always have a special place in my heart. A place closer, perhaps, to the part I use to play poker with than the part I use to store actual affection in, but that could all change over drinks sometime. Call me. Although this was far from your finest rant, it was worth a cool three thousand hits in 24 hours. [...]

I’ve been very impressed with MSNBC in the past five years. They were the ones who broke the story Osama binLaden had been shorting airlines in the run up to 9/11. They do the hard news that I used to expect of CNN.

OIbermann’s not speaking into a vacuum, however. Almost three thousand people have read this post, and another three thousand will have read it by sundown tomorrow. Plus everyone who saw the video at Crooks and Liars, plus all the people who put it on YouTube, plus, of course, all the people who watched it live. He has an audience.

Thank God for Keith Olbermann. One lone but loud voice is better than nothing. I know there are a few on TV who voice their concern, but not one can claim the absolute clarity of message Keith delivers with his Special Comments. He blows the half-wits on FOX out of the water. In fact MSNBC has the best political coverage on TV other than the raw stuff (which I love) onC-Span.

Olbermann deserves a journalism award. Colbert and Stewert as well.

I wish I believed that, but ever since 9/11 I have consistently witnessed the people of America going on their knees to the government of America. Nothing could be more perverse, or more abhorrent. Or, alas, more consistent.

I doubt they’ll reinstitute the draft simply because none of the Republicans who are thinking of running for President will want to take the hit from the voters on that. You can bet you won’t be seeing Jenna in a uniform any time soon.
