Let's not forget Keith Olbermann's role in where we are today [View all]

It was KO who got many of us through the Bush years, who raged against the machine and displayed great courage in bucking the suits in ways that brought us Rachel, Ed, Al, Lawrence.

I owe him a great deal of gratitude.

Thanks, KO, wherever you are.
