5. Oh yes.
Powerful. Quoting Clarence Darrow quoting Omar Khayyam.

6. Yup. Nothin' but net.

Right to the heart of the matter. (No pun intended.)

It's difficult for me to imagine enough paper in the world to make a list of 'problems' long enough that "Someone is in love with another human being" would find any place on that list.

7. For someone who stated that this position was not personal,
that no family member or close friend was gay, Keith surely sounded as if this was very personal to him. So few people are moved to tears by a principle, by an ideal that will have no effect on their personal lives. I salute you, Keith Olbermann; you are one of God's good children.

And I think I know why he didn't do the usual throw-it-to-Rachel. What could he have said, to pass the baton to someone for whom Prop 8 is a very, very personal issue? And how on earth could she have responded?

9. Thank you, Keith.
I think tonight Keith made history with his Special Comment. There is no way on God's green earth anyone with half a brain could refute what he said.

I'm still crying.

11. I very deeply respect Olbermann.
He's one of the smartest, most eloquent men I know. I can't say much more about his comment, because I just can't do it justice. Just... wow.
