Could We Get Olbermann To The NBC Nightly News?
I don't mean as anchor. At least not yet. But could our collective voice be enough to compel NBC to show a Monday Night Special Comment? I chose Monday, because it should be at one end or the other, and more people are at home on Monday night than Friday night.

1. That sounds like a good idea
But it can be criticized as possibly being too "Andy Rooneyish".

2. Or put him in Congress
As so far he is the only one who has had enough balls to stand up and actually say what is going on in America.

3. The Nightly News has been dumbed down for Joe & Jane Sixpack
Keith is too intelligent for the masses. That said, it's a great idea. He'd top Wolfie that's for sure.

4. An eight minute commentary is too much for the marching morons of America
"top Wolfie"? That sounds kind of personal.

6. It's too early for thoughts like that!
My day is bottomed out now for sure.

5. It wouldn't be the same. They would not allow him to talk about certain
Things, like Religion, and those speeches he gave would have never happened on free NBC.

7. He ought to do a Free Speech moment on CBS.
That would kick ass.
