56. That was unbelievable
For so long I have turned away from the MSM. They have been inept and complacent at every turn since Bush became president, choosing to show us other news whenever they could. Missing white girl, or...there was a fire in a house downtown, or...hey everybody, look...a three legged cat! All the while Bush and his zombies dropped turds on the Constitution and molded the America I knew into something sinister and unwelcome around the world.

I have been watching Keith for more than a year, not all the time, but he has been at least some reason to hope that somebody besides Jon Stewart was paying attention. I am overjoyed beyond words to see Keith make this powerful statement, even more so that he didn't crack a joke in the middle of it, diminishing it's tone.

Four years ago this would have been equivalent to his resignation. Now, I hope, the bosses at MSNBC will try something new. They might find that this demographic of people who want to hear this kind of talk might be big enough to make some money from, and they won't just kick Mr. Olberman to the curb. God knows it's all about money these days.
