1. I saw it the first time... it's just as powerful the second time

So, the cynic in me wants to start a betting pool...

days until KO is yanked from the airwaves.

My bet is 45 to 60 days.

2. I don't think so.
Maybe after the first airing, although I'm sure he had to clear the comment with his producers. Absolutely not after the second airing. I'm betting that MSNBC is 100% behind their biggest star and viewer draw! Otherwise they would have NEVER allowed that devastating (to bush) 9/11 "special comment" from Keith to be shown again. :D

GO KEITH!!!! :kick:

7. Yeah, but I think this may have finally penetrated the
boardrooms of GE. My guess is that they will want to quietly terminate the muckraker that causing
them grief with the repukes in charge of things.

18. Here's a snippet that
got me again - the 20th time I've seen it:

"Instead they bicker and buck pass. They thwart private efforts, and jostle to claim credit for initiatives that go nowhere. They spend the money on irrelevant wars, and elaborate self-congratulations, and buying off columnists to write how good a job they're doing instead of doing any job at all."

I am quite sure all the big wigs over at MSNBC knew what he was saying.

8. Plus, they had him on their Today Show this morning.
I don't think they would allow that if they weren't supporting him.

4. Every time is see it, I'm more convinced that it is a classic moment
in television history.

His passion is so genuine and so very well-expressed.

19. Here it is, applegrove. Google Olbermann video if this doesn't
work, and you'll hit lots of sites.

25. Pull up the MSNBC page,
at the moment, you can launch the video from a prominent link just to the right.

24. I FINALLY got to see it!
My speakers weren't working until tonight and I'm also on dial-up, so I didn't even try to watch the video online. I read the transcript, but without the audio and video you just don't get the full effect. It was as powerful as everyone says!
