Looks like half my posts will be politics for the next 2 weeks, so next up, I can't decide what I think of Keith Olbermann. I, as a rule, don't watch 24 hour cable networks. I don't like what's become of them in the Fox era, and I generally choose not to support them (not that they know, but you know what I mean). So I haven't seen a lot of Olbermann, never watched it on an actual TV, just links online. He's a big critic of Bush'n'them, so obviously that's great. But he comes across a little too rabid for me. There is a vitriol in his mannerisms that weirds me out. I mean, I'm with Bill Maher: "Where is the outrage?" I want someone to be pissed, I want lots of people to be pissed. Maybe online links have a selection effect that bias me, I'm not sure. I guess I'll have to watch his actual show a couple of times to get a good measure. Any thoughts?
Oh, I also think he as absolutely not earned rights to "Good Night and Good Luck" Do I really have to quote Bentsen v Quayle here??
