THANK YOU KEITH OLBERMANN

Every so often a book, movie, speech, person, group might serve to energize somebody, someone, another group, a city, a state, a nation.

For those of you who sometimes turn on MSNBC at 8:00 PM, (7:00 PM CENTRAL), you are treated to maybe the best of the best TV commentators. The Bear is talking about Keith Olbermann, former ESPN star who graced us for a time with some of the best in sports reporting and now has become a stalwart of the MSNBC Team, maybe the "Point Man" if I may be so bold! Aw right, you Chris Matthews fans stop shaking!

Tonight in his all too infrequent "Special Reports", Keith laid it on the table as no reporter in the past seven years of the failed Bush Presidency have. It is a bit interesting this day that only an hour before, the scourge of "illegal immigrants", Lou Dobbs on CNN had almost lost it in attacking the Bush Administration for its gross incompetence.

Back to Olbermann. We all know Bill you know who still has the ratings on the 8-9 shows but battling him tooth and nail is Mr. Olbermann's smart and totally different hour of discourse, wit and strong liberal recitation. But after his 12 minute end of the show remarks which were in fact quite personal and would probably invite a duel in the days of Andrew Jackson, one could not doubt that the press has finally had it with this bozo in the White House but only the great Keith succinctly and directly put it on the airwaves for Americans to digest but Keith, I'm happy to announce: "Americans do get it on this guy and you strongly reinforced their feelings. Thank You Thank You Thank You!!!

Sure the conservatives of the Repub party will be up in arms but attacking the wrong guy tomorrow morning, when they should be leading the "impeach Bush" crowd for what he has wrought. What will be the ramifications for this reporter with the gonads to "say it as it is?" What will Rush have to say tomorrow in answer to the words of wisdom given us this night? Will the FCC Bushies be up in arms and investigating NBC?

For way too long for whatever, the news media, probably out of respect for our troops, have been oh so reticent about the policies and failures linked to the Iraq fiasco. Finally Olbermann has moved the extra mile to point out that most of the statements of THIS PRESIDENT on the war effort have rivaled Disney's "Fantasia" in their predictions, execution, and follow up! It would seem more is to come from the next Repub candidate John McCain who would keep our youngsters coming "for 100 Years" if necessary to make the Sunni? Shite? Terrorists (Bush can't say the word right!) or whoever we are fighting over there cry: "Osama!"

Keith had his A Game in tact tonight as he zeroed in on the irrelevant Bush and his pitiful advisors on this war! What is even better, the voters are beginning to swell in numbers all over the US, thanks to the magnifcent battle waged by Democrats in the battle for the nomination and yes, these same voters are turning up in elections in their respective congressional districts and in three special elections held recently, have knocked Repub candidates on their proverbial asses!! Yes, the numbers are adding up in the House and come November there is no doubt our American voters will have a chance to declare on "Bush years" and without being cocky we Dems will have the unenviable job of cleaning up this total mess, when we sweep into power and totally control the Congress with the Majorities to Act!

Meanwhile, hats off to Keith Olbermann and he is hereby awarded the Bear's coveted award for today, May 14, 2008, THE BEST PERSON IN THE WORLD!
