7. And already viewed by 720 people since he said it!
Great work! Don't think it works on a Mac, though...can anyone QuickTime it?

Regardless...this is wonderful!! :-)

3. Was it edited by MSNBC? Another poster said he called for resignation.
I didn't hear that in this clip!

Did I miss something?

12. Came close by refusing to call him his president but did not issue
a direct call for his resignation.

33. Thanks for the clarification...
I hate when people read things into stuff and then post their interpretation here as quotes.

Yes, KO's rant was damning...but no call for the magic word: Resignation.

Fuck!

25. I took the word of the other poster and fired off an email thanking
Keith for calling for Bush's resignation. People, when you post something like that the least you can do is say "he implied Bush should resign". Made a total fool out of me, but that's been done before, and I should know better - see it before you respond.

4. Thank you. It appears MSNBC is not repeating his show overnight.
I went to go TiVO it since I had to miss the show this evening, and it's not on the overnight repeat lineup, and it usually IS.

14. Not necessarily.
TV listings didn't have Countdown on earlier, either.

Re-air is midnight, eastern; 11 pm central

would greatly surprise me unless they had planned to pre-empt it
for a special report on the hurricane from the start. I know they censored once in the past three days but that would be too huge. They are cowards and Olbermann wouldn't be silent about that..

31. Well, when I turned my TV on at 8:15
it said Storm Chasers was on and I found out too late that KO actually was on at about 8:45, so I saw the rant but missed most of the rest of the show. I've got my VCR set for later, just in case.

9. I'll watch my own tape of it again.
I don't believe he did call for Bush's resignation, though. Or anyone else's. He simply said that although we all learn in social studies class that the president is "my" president even if we didn't vote for him, people are now justified in no longer feeling that way.

32. Thank you so much for posting this. I did not think Keith would be on
tonight. Sorry to have missed it the first time. I will now write a letter of praise to MSNBC. They need to know that they've got the kind of broadcaster we are all proud to listen to.

Thank you Keith. Man, did that ever need to be said.

38. Hey bunny.
So nice to see you.

Here's my letter to the Kahuna:

Sir,

Allow me to say, above and beyond all previous praise I've had for your work, that as far as I'm concerned this is the moment that the names Sevareid, Cronkite, and Schorr were joined by the name Olbermann.

I cannot buy you a beer. I can't hug you. There is no way I can show my appreciation for the fact that as a journalist, you have uniquely, and courageously, performed to the highest standards of your profession.

So please read into this simple email a heartfelt and unprecedented (for me) gratitude towards a "newsman" (to use the old and honored term) for a job well done.

Best regards,

____________

41. I saw this when it originally aired
and I have now seen it again, it becomes more powerful each time it is viewed. I encourage everyone to watch a couple of times to pick up on the nuances as well as the main rant.

43. When is the rest of the media going to grow a spine
and call these thugs on their BS?

It seems like * has a photo op and a press conference and too many in the media are willing to believe in their twisted, lying, bizarro version of reality.

If they had any stones, the reporters traveling with him would have put him on the spot and asked him the hard questions with cameras rolling.

Go KO! Explain to your colleagues at MSRNC about the truth.

I guess the news has gotten really bad. I haven't watched since the early 80's. If this is outstanding, then I can only imagine how bad things have become. Maybe things are turning around.

52. Olbermann quoting Churchill...
Edited on Tue Sep-06-05 04:14 AM by Dunvegan
Churchill, deeply troubled by England's lack of preparation for World War II, said, "The responsibility of ministers for the public safety is absolute and requires no mandate. It is in fact the prime object for which governments come into existence."
