*****THE OFFICIAL KEITH OLBERMANN APPRECIATION THREAD******

[DeepBlueDem]

He did an unbelievable job on last nights election coverage. He definitely gave us insight on historical importance, win/loss analysis, and trends. I emailed countdown and expressed my appreciation for the great job he did last night.

Thank you, Keith

1. He seemed to take well Chuck Todd poking fun at him for not understanding key points & data...

while everyone else on-set sorta giggled :7

[DeepBlueDem]

4. Chuck Todd tried hard to make it looks like its going to be close

until Ohip and Pennsylvania was called

[JohnnyRingo]

10. When does Chuck Todd sleep?

He's on in the morning with Scarborough, he's on in the evening, and he shows up for the late night progams.

Is he some political MSNBC robot?
CNN only has a hologram.

[Kahuna]

2. Oh yes!! Thank you Keith.. But you really shouldn't blow your own horn..

;)

[brendan120678]

3. So it's OK to start liking him again?

Wasn't it just a few weeks ago many people here were complaining how he was so obviously in the tank for McCain?
That he should be fired and replaced?

[pam4water]

21. Go Keith. Yeah I worry about him now that Rachel is on too.

[LittleApple81]

5. Deserved. But we must watch him now. Let's not allow him to go down in ratings. nt

[RoccoR5955]

KO, knocked it out of the park...

...as usual.
Keith and Rachel have become our Liberal voices on the MSM. I hope that they keep them on, now that they will probably have less material, at least Presidential material, to work with.

[Lumpsum]

20. Oh, they'll keep them.

Olbermann is MSNBC'S rating giant, and supposedly all of the big wigs at NBC are really high on Maddow.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

6. This one's for Ms Precious Perfect. nt

[MarianJack]

7. When he announced that the President-Elect had won,...

...and he had that tremor in his voice, my wife and I shed our first tear of joy for the night!

[DeepBlueDem]

8. He gave me a great laugh when Pennsylvania was called,

He said, "What a waste of time for the McCain campaign"

[vanboggie]

9. K.O. was our first MSM voice

Remember some of us crying at hearing his first special comments on the tee vee? He took a risk and spoke for us and eventually changed the landscape at MSNBC.

Thank you Keith!!

[Omnibus]

28. Remember when we would call it "MSGOP"?

How perceptive of them to realize that most of the country would like a news outlet that doesn't lean insanely to the right.

Keith and Rachel give me something to watch every weeknight that doesn't make me shout in rage.

I'd LOVE to see more progressive voices on mainstream television.

And Fox should become a ratings-free wasteland.

[Overseas]

11. I've really appreciated having Keith during the awful Bush years.

I'm sure I'll be glad to have him during the Obama administration too.

[NightHawk63]

12. I love Keith!

What he's done for our party and this country is immeasurable. For so long, he was one of the few liberal voices with a national platform speaking truth to power. I've begin to hear some of my left leaning friends recently start saying they they don't like him much anymore. Well, I'll just have to love him enough for all of us.

:toast:

[mtnsnake]

13. Thank goodness for Olbermann. He has more than answered Limbaugh and his kind

We need him as much as ever to continue fighting the good fight.

[Left Is Write]

14. I appreciate Keith very much!

SO GLAD it was Keith's voice I heard announcing the race for Obama.

[KansasVoter]

15. He kept me sane during this election!

[RevCheesehead]

16. And they let Keith make the BIG announcement, too!

:loveya::loveya::loveya:
His voice will live on in history!!

[MichellesBFF]

17. Any links to online video of Keith calling it?

I was watching comedy central when it was called.

[Berry Cool]

18. They are all over. I know there's one if not more in the video forum.

It was so fitting and proper that it be him. Put tears in my eyes. Thanks, Keith, for keeping me from sticking hot needles in my eyes the past four years.

[AgadorSparticus]

19. Stellar guy. Always knocks it out of the park. I have such a big crush on him.

[happychatter]

22. Have you NO humility, sir? How DARE you announce Senator Obama's victory....

...and bring tears of absolute joy, streaming down the faces of millions of Americans... (including me).

[The Wielding Truth]

23. He held me up when I thought all was lost.

:patriot:

[RepublicanElephant]

24. oh good. another excuse for a keith pic...

:loveya:

[Number9Dream]

25. Keith, Thanks!

[ShenandoahAspen]

26. GO Keith!

It's good to have someone in the media who speaks for US and not the Repukes. He and Rachel are the only two I can bear to watch -- I hope I'll be watching both of them for many years to come!

[Reterr]

27. Thank you Keith

You were a voice of sanity in the wilderness years :hug:.
