I'm a fan of Keith Olbermann. I loved him on Sports Center, though I think he hit his stride on Countdown. No one in the news media can get me more riled up about the injustices doled out in the current administration. He's articulate, often funny, and definitely polarizing. Some of his best (though, it depends which side of the fence you're on) shows are when he does his Special Comments. I've assembled some of his better ones after the jump.
On the trademarking of 9/11 by the Republicans.
In reference to Bush stating a Democratic win would likely lead to another terrorist attack.(Part I)

On Waterboarding
Keith comments on McCain's estimate of troop removal from Iraq. (Part I)

On FISA.
On pardoning Scooter Libby.
This isn't a special comment, but it's great to see Olbermann destroy O'Reilly in this clip.

This guy is good.
yeah, i had no idea, but i never had cable, i really like the last one, billo ticks me off with the proud and stupid things he does
olberman-rama. Yeah this guy's good.
It is hard to believe that Olbermann is taken seriously. The guy is filled with venom and hate and he calls himself a journalist? I even find him annoying if he's announcing a game because of his hatred towards anything or anyone who does not espouse his politically correct point of view. I may bemoan a loss of standards in journalism today but clearly there is a lack of any standard of decorum remaining.
I Was in iraq for sixteen months in the army. Saw a lot of stuff nobody should have to see.
I Just think olbermann is right on target when he calls bush out for the War-mongering Fraud that he is.
I Can't figure out which possibility is more frightening.
a.) we've had a Military-Industrial Complex puppet at the helm of this country for 8 years,
or
b.) The commander in chief of the United States really IS that much of an idiot...
Pablo, I didn't know you were a badass.
Where were you stationed and what were you doing.
What unit?
2nd battalion 3rd field artillery. In iraq we were in baghdad in a bombed out palace. they even made a documentary about our unit called Gunner Palace. Look it up on youtube.
Wow. Senor Pablo, that was your unit? You propped some folks in a few corners?
That was us.
