I take it back

Josh Lyman brought this 9/11 retrospective by Keith Olbermann to my attention:
Did you hear Keith Olberman's editorial on MsNBC yesterday? I can't commend it to you strongly enough. Moving and powerful. It's a total indictment of the President's politicization of 9/11. He's gotten rather Murrow-esque. Who knew a former sportscaster had it in himself?

Thanks you - definitely worth watching. Especially if you thought that all the airwaves had been taken over by right wing, bible thumping jerks.

  • This whole era of American politics reminds me of a few lines from The American President:

    Lewis: People want leadership, Mr. President, and in the absence of genuine leadership, they'll listen to anyone who steps up to the microphone. They want leadership. They're so thirsty for it they'll crawl through the desert toward a mirage, and when they discover there's no water, they'll drink the sand.

    President Andrew Shepherd: Lewis, we've had presidents who were beloved, who couldn't find a coherent sentence with two hands and a flashlight. People don't drink the sand because they're thirsty. They drink the sand because they don't know the difference.

    I'd like to think they're starting to see the difference.

  • OMG, that was on several times this weekend (I was somewhat couch-bound). LOVED that part. Can't wait for Studio 60 to start so I can renew my Aaron Sorkin addiction.

  • Also waiting for Studio 60! Mainly because Bradley Whitford is in it.
