Simply brilliant, period.

I just wish that more people in the same position as Keith Olbermann would take a stand and call a spade a spade more often. I watch Countdown every night because I feel that Keith Olbermann is one of the few balanced anchors on the air today. I also like the fact that his commentary is often brutally honest, something that is much needed in the world of Cable News TV.

Thank you Keith, for saying what needs to be said. Thank you for not stepping aside and suppressing your comments in favor of advertisers, or political correctness, or because the “liberal media” would want you to do it. You are one of the few that calls it like it is and makes no bones about it.

Keith Olbermann is the host of Countdown with Keith Olbermann, which can be seen nightly at 8pm Eastern on MSNBC.
