So much more coherent than the first commentary on Rumsfeld.

This one will win awards and not be forgotten.

I followed the 1st one just fine, but the succinct quality of this one is superior at stinging in it's directness! a better more direct, easy to follow for more Americans, discertation on Rummy & S.S.hrub!

Cronkite + Murrow = Olberman
That's my take.

We need more balls in this media of ours.

18. Nope- I did. I've had a crush on him since 2004. Ok- we'll share him!
He is the best-- go Keith Go! And I'm even feeling good about MSNBC at the moment for giving him the freedom to express the truth.

Please marry me Keith O! I'll move to NY if you'd like or we can commute (I have a lovely condo on Miami Beach). Sure Stephanie Miller has a radio show and Ocelot here at DU is I'm sure, equally as wonderful (after all, she's here on DU so she has to be terrific) but trust me-- you won't be disappointed. :)

Just kidding. But it's funny to watch everyone slug it out for who has earliest dibs on KO.

42. Well then, you'll have to share him with me. I remember him from
back then, AND from Channel 5, KTLA, here in L.A., and as a matter of fact, I was working there at the time. Made me a bigamist, he did.

:loveya:

BTW - Welcome to DU!

I know that it's not a good welcome to DU, calling you out and all, but you leave me no choice. ;)

Keith is MINE! (Unless Gen. Clark comes to his senses and lifts that restraining order.)

14. I wonder if KO will be invited to Katie's coffeeshop?
I heard that Rush would be making an appearance, or doing commentary on Katie's evening news show. I refuse to watch her, but if Keith were to be invited to do commentary....I am so there!

26. I think he would just as soon decline going to her "coffee shop"
He was on Dan Patrick's radio show today talking about that. Apparently he sent Dan an e-mail beforehand about having read on Katie's blog that she planned to treat her news as "the neighborhood coffeehouse where something's always brewing."

He titled the e-mail "For the love of God..."

Another eloquent statement exposing the administration for the shysters they are. I do hope he'll consider making commentary a permanent addition to the show.

Edited on Wed Sep-06-06 06:08 PM by mcscajun
Rats!

Obviously, I've never seen his show, but in the days since he aired what one analyst called the Greatest Speech of the Decade, I've been paying attention to Crooks and Liars and K.O.'s blog.

I was consideringd starting to watch him while MSNBC lasts on TV. Currently, I don't watch ANY TV news.

No regular commentary? :(

53. It's usually straight ahead news
with a lot of snark, and no, no regular commentary like we've seen recently. I think the last great one was after Katrina. He's one of the few TV journalists today who asks his guests the right questions and lets his guests answer without shouting over them. He doesn't editorialize in long form as a rule, but he does let you know what he thinks about the whole thing in his witty retorts or follow-up questions.

Come by the Countdown group some night around showtime. We're a friendly group and we love new Keith fans. Follow the link in my sig.

48. I think it's really pathetic
that the level of journalism in America has sunk so low that when a wonderful human being like Olbermann just simply does his job we are all astounded. I don't mean to take anything away from KO. But the rest of the mainstream media should be truly shamed. Why can't they just do their damn jobs?
