Keith Olbermann Needs to Have My Babies

Friends, seriously, watch this, and think how degraded the state of Murkan democracy (and journalism!) that one man is compelled to vent his disgust during the final 5 minutes of his news show. It's amazing.

Wow! Thanks for sharing.

While I am happy to see TV talking heads with large audiences calling Rumsfeld out I have to ask what took so them so fucking long?

I wonder, how Exec. producers of TV shows decide what to air? The upper management of TV must think about the bottom line before approving certain directions in programing. Especially when it involves powerful neocons. Is it finally a time when it will be profitable to criticise Bush? TV smells blood in the next election and they are slowly ramping up.

The failing of American journalist to prevent the war in Iraq and the deaths of thousands is directly related to the profit involved in conducting war.

"what took so them so fucking long?"

Nothing, in the case of Olbermann. He has been this way from the get-go. (Now, if we could just get him to stop making fun of animal rights...)

I felt I was watching history in the making in Olbermann's speech.

Now let's hope Rumsfeld is dumb enough to respond.

Just ask Billy O'Reilly what it's like to have Olbermann continually on your butt.
