MSNBC Host: Now Playing in Congress(!)
http://www.usnews.com/usnews/politics/washingtonwhispers/070114/msnbc_host_now_playing_in_cong.htm

"If he didn't make so much as host of MSNBC's Countdown, Keith Olbermann might be asking some very prominent lawmakers for speechwriting fees. That's because he's becoming the go-to guy for antiwar rhetoric. And, we're told, Olbermann's show-ending "special comments" have been entered into the Congressional Record at least twice. The last time occurred this month when West Virginia Democrat Nick Rahall, wowed by Olbermann's hit on President Bush's troop surge, called to get permission to include Olbermann's comments in Rahall's own House floor speech."

That's pretty sweet!! How did I not know this?? Maybe we need an Olbermann 08 movement?

2. Absolutely agree. I notice some posts that Keith is posting "too many special comments"
but I find each new one as exciting if not better than the previous. He is extremely talented, articulate, cute as a button, etc. No wonder Bill hates him. Worst person of the year, that o'liely.....

3. He'd be a much better option that several of the so-called "front
runners," that's for sure.

4. Nope, can't get behind an Olbermann 08 movement
He needs to be doing exactly what he is doing right now. He is far, far too valuable as a commentator. Let the politicians be politicians, let Olbermann be Olbermann.
