FINALLY!!!
Can you believe it took this f....ing long to get someone to say ON THE AIR, in a MAINSTREAM MEDIA OUTLET, what we've been saying here for years:
- Bush is a failure, a coward, a phony, a fraud and a bloodthirsty warmonger.

Wow -- it was incredible -- a generation from now, this will be the "Good Night and Good Luck" moment for the Bush era that Edward R. Murrow's newscasts were for the McCarthy era.

Absolutely incredible job, Keith -- incredible, and LONG overdue.

2. Truly a watershed moment
This may be immortalized in the historical record of our country - if we endure.

8. I have to say though...
that throughout the commentary, I was thinking that K.O. better improve his security -- I can see him falling victim to another one of those convenient accidents that always seem to benefit Bush.

11. Mr Olberman and his microphone
my save this country or at least wake it up. His commentary is food for many a conversation out in the open at last.

12. Sometimes it takes a while for a man to find himself
and I think Keith has.

He's the first to say his has been a very unorthodox, checkered career, and he'll cheerfully give you a list of the TV stations and networks that have fired him. But when he did his lambasting of O'Reilly last spring over the Malmedy massacre, I think that's when Olbermann found his true calling.

It certainly appears that Dan Abrams has given him a green light to do these special comment segments. Thank God. We really couldn't ask for a better public voice. Dissent is patriotic, and we have our poster boy.

16. Well said, Lancer, and I agree, though his speech on 9/11
was way up there on my list of big hits, too. :)

17. He only got fired from some. He left the others. But he'd be the last
to say he got along beautifully with all his employers, true.

But this one is letting him say and do what he wants...and oh, the results!

In fact, I think tonight he finally had the chance to let go all his anger at having his first venture on MSNBC turn into "The Monica Lewinsky Show" without him ever wanting it to.

He's just getting better every time he lets it loose.

It's long past time someone was allowed to say these things.

23. Thanks,
My wife and I are still talking about it as we are just both stunned. Someone in America has finally had the courage and been willing to stand up and speak the truth.

To bad it couldn't have been some of the party leaders.

24. It's about time some of them
pulled their collective heads out of the sand and realized that the Democrats have no where to go but up and a little honesty just might pull them all over the top. I've been waiting for one of them (Gore and Edwards have come close) to really stick it too the administration for all their failures but every one seems to be watching their P's and Q's.....

25. No kidding, and I have been just beside myself with frustration
over it. When the country gets to where people are afraid or too conflicted to stand up and speak the truth as they see it then we are all done for.

I am truly energized by Keith's speech. Now if the party will follow his lead.

20. Personally I think
Edited on Mon Sep-25-06 08:32 PM by smtpgirl
That Keith should receive some kind of emmy kudos for that.

Printed it off and emailed it to myself, so I can send it to my RW friends.

Hope their jaw is locked in the open stage after reading that.

Graceful, totally appropriate smackdown by Keith!!

26. If they block you from their E-mail account, you will know it did
it's job. And a speech that good ought to be able to do the job.
