Things I dig: Keith Olbermann
Keith Olbermann of MSNBC, commenting on the fifth anniversary of 9/11.
Olbermann is crass, irreverent and damn funny. His ongoing feud with Bill O'Reilly is the stuff of legend (Bill Orally, or Billo), as is his disdain for Ann Coulter (Coultergeist). His "Countdown" program on MSNBC is hilarious and startlingly informative. Occasionally he chases a tangent and comes up with nothing. Occasionally his own guest commentators disagree with him. But, he always seems sincere and well-read. I especially like his occasional Special Comments, which hearken back to a news delivery style of yesteryear. He has adopted Edward R. Murrow's sign-off as his own: Good-night and good luck.
Check Olbermann out on MSNBC, weeknights at 8:00 and midnight. Note that the website is, of course, a Microsoft medium and that you will be "required" to have Internet Explorer to view video. Baloney! If you are using Firefox (and who isn't?), simply grab the IE Tab extension and plow right on. Great stuff from Olbermann is always available on YouTube, as well.
