1. best news program
I'm sorry, and that's too bad because it's really not set up as a hard news program. But, it's the only place to go to hear any smattering of substance!

4. Like the Daily Show
And it's funny because so much of it is true.

2. Head down on the desk
pounding his fists on the desk?

That was subtle (because it wasn't centered on camera) but funny as hell.

5. it was about American presence in Iraq
* was saying Kerry says we need to get out of Iraq, and that the whole world says we need to get out of Iraq. I believe * said "That's exactly what we should do..shouldn't do...we shouldn't be in Iraq...we shouldn't leave Iraq."

24. Here's another email addy for Keith:
kolbermann@msnbc.com

Don't know how "real" it is. I found it over at Hardblogger following one of his posts. As far as the "boyfriend" thing goes, you'll have to get in line. ;-)

8. Keith rules. I live for his show. It's hysterical. He even does his
own quiz on himself at the end of each week. Very good stuff and great journalism to boot.

23. Not sure, but I think Bill Maher might have been at Cornell...

13. My fave Olberman moment was after the O-B-G-Y-N speech
Olberman took off his glasses, started to say something, stopped, you could hear the people on the set laughing, he started to speak again and stopped and went on to something else.

25. it was SO quiet in there...
I could hear the auto-gain on the Optimod "pumping" (that hum that got louder)
If somebody had dropped a pin on his desk it'd sounded like a tree falling...

Olberman must have some REAL dirt on the BFEE, or else he stays away from small planes...

15. This is worth posting again
for those who have never read it. Here is a link to the convocation speech written and delivered by Keith Olberman at Cornell University in May of 1998 during the Clinton/Lewinsky/Starr soap opera. This will give you some insight into who Keith is. The speech is about using your "moral force."

You won't regret reading it. Promise.


http://www.news.cornell.edu/campus/Olbermann_speech.html


<<snip))
Then, my network starts covering this story 28 hours out of every 24, and six days after the story breaks more people watch my show than watch my old show Sportscenter. And while I'm having the dry heaves in the bathroom because my moral sensor is going off but I can't even hear it, I'm so seduced by these ratings that I go along with them when they say do this not just one hour a night, but two, thus bringing my own skills and talents to bear on the process by which the snowball runs faster and faster down the hill....

...About three weeks ago I awakened from my stupor on this subject and told my employers that I simply could not continue doing this show about the endless investigation and the investigation of the investigation, and the investigation of the investigation of the investigation. I had to choose what I felt in my heart was right over what I felt in my wallet was smart. I did not tell them they had 24 hours. I did not threaten them. I let them balance for themselves their professional and moral forces and set their timetable. I await their answer. Of course, I am not buying any new furniture for my home.
