KO put out the call...which dem politicians have answered?

[Protagoras]

Yesterday's commentary by Keith Obermann was perhaps the greatest call to democracy that has been made since Murrow did it 50 years ago. I watched it 3 or 4 times and then shared it with others who were stunned speechless. KO said what our politicians SHOULD have been saying for a LONG time now.

They have not.

He did it for them.

So I want to know...where are the Democrats now? How many have commented upon, picked up, repeated, or seconded KO. He did their job for them and Reed, Pelosi, and the rest need to acknowledge what he said and try their best to emulate that level of statesmanship.

I see Boxer is on with Keith now...but have we heard from anyone else or is it Keith Obermann and the blogisphere against the world?

1. Very happy to see her there giving KO kudos...

"It doesn't stop me from speaking out and it didn't stop you"

Wonderful that she made reference to his statement!

[eleny]

2. Barbara Boxer is his guest talking about it right now

That's a start.

[LSparkle]

4. She mentioned the fact that he spoke out

That kind of thing needs to happen more frequently -- politicians who are working for the right things commending the media that's doing THEIR job. Hopefully it will lead to more of both.

5. I think how they respond to this should have a bearing on how we

respond to them in the next presidential primary.

[JohnyCanuck]

3. They're too busy sending congratulatory emails to Air America

for firing that loud mouth, rabble rouser Mike Malloy to heed anything Olberman might have said.

[Protagoras]

6. So it's all around the Blogisphere

but aside from Boxer have we had any more dems sign on to our modern day Murrow's speech?

7. The mayor of Salt Lake City publicly thanked him

[Protagoras]

8. Ain't it something when the leading voice in the democratic party

is the Mayor of SLC Utah...

[EstimatedProphet]

9. True. However, he may really be a leading voice now!

[Protagoras]

10. I'd say he should run except I don't think we can afford to lose him

as one of the last voices of sanity on TV in this cable addicted culture.

[EstimatedProphet]

14. Actually I meant the mayor of SLC

Although I could see Olbermann running too...

[PresidentWar]

11. Heheehe - THAT'S MY MAYOR!

Here's to Rocky.
