The Russert rainbow, as reported by Keith Olbermann

[DeepModem Mom]

MSNBC transcript: 'Countdown with Keith Olbermann' for Wednesday, June 18

....One last note from here in Washington, even if you do not believe in omens, the memorial ended with the playing of a recording (from Russert's iPod) of a ukulele version of the song “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.” Within minutes, as those of us who laughed and grieved left the Kennedy Center, we were stopped in our tracks by this, a vivid double rainbow, which had spread across Washington skies while we were all in that building saying good-bye.

It may be corn ball and it may be easily explained by meteorological conditions of this turbulent spring in the capital, but if there‘s any way that a soul was behind that, I know that was Russert. I‘d recognize him anywhere."
