in a time when watch chris matthew and tucker carlson and lou dobbs and bill oreilly and hannity can be repetitive and boring and safe and wretched and and just downright wrong and bullying ( even if the former sometimes be ok ) and keith olbermann be a sublime respite . yes and he will make his point of view know and but an unpopular one . i think not while when watch olbermann go into one of his special comment it come about as close to if not quite as classical a an edward r. murrow speech rally against one injustice or another . it actually inspire to see what be usually just another talk head speak intelligently not from some vapid gut ala oreilly and but from fact that send many american a of late into a tailspin . how to put such a travesty like the bush administration into a context of articulation ( and one that isn not of full on satire like the daily show ) . look at olbermann . but it isn not all serious and such while one of the great joy of countdown be that and within the parameter of the archetype of the structure of the show . olbermann make his show into fun satire and moment of levity follow the first half just the typical lot ( though an interesting lot usually ) of talk head and with his best person and bad person listing and oddball moment ( video of crazy santa or deer jumping over a car a it drive and among many and many and many other classic bit that most often would be leave in the dreg of you tube ) . he a man that understand irony he not one to back down from give a scathing comment against someone whom he think deserve it ( and and whatever affiliation you have and you get to admit that he can give the sucker punch linguistically like few others in cable news and and not with the rancor of some of his rival ) . but he also a man of conscience and and he will reveal himself a have more lucid thought on a subject than one would ever expect of a tucker or even anderson cooper or other . for me and it one of the most addictive show on cable tv news .
