Olbermann, what's with him?
Only in the last week or so have I seen this guy Keith Olbermann ... and I had a visceral reaction: This guy's a humorless, sanctimonious dirtbag. I can't watch him for more than a few seconds ...
Maybe the problem is his head seems too big for the screen. Maybe if they just pulled the camera back, he'd be more tolerable.
For the record, I can't watch Bill O'Reilly, either. It seems MSNBC thought, hey, let's get a liberal Bill O'Reilly. Problem is, O'Reilly's heart is in the right place. So what you get with Olbermann is obnoxious and wrongheaded.
To paraphrase Harry (and slightly change his meaning): Our public discourse is becoming more and more indistinguishable from professional wrestling.

Which probably sums up our differing perspectives nicely.
Olbermann was completely off my radar until two weeks ago. I think his reaction to Rumseld's latest remarks (the ones where he compared criticism of his war policy to Nazi appeasement) was dead on - and necessary.
Lot of bombshells in there - which is a little surprising given Woodward's kind treatment of the Bush admin in his two previous books
