Thank Jesus for Keith Olbermann!
I remember his snarky commentary as being a big reason to watch SportsCenter during baseball season and ESPN2 when it first launched some 12 years ago. I wondered what the hell was going on when he joined MSNBC, but now I see what's going on. Incrementally over time, he's become one more voice for sanity and reason on the airwaves along with Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Al Franken, Joan Walsh, etc. They are all beginning to amplify what most of us feel especially on this day, 5 years after that awful day. The mainstream is finding its voice thanks to people like Keith. Now we can say, "We're the USA and we're better than this animal shit our leaders are feeding us. We're better than these fools who are trying to keep us afraid for their own purposes. To line their own pockets and keep their stupid war going. We're the USA, and the buck stops here. We're done with the bullshit."
Keep telling the truth, Keith. We're ready to hear it now. Thank you again!
