Olbermann On FISA

I try not to do too many “Yeah, what he said” posts. But Keith Olbermann put it so beautifully last night I can’t resist.

You can follow this link to the video and transcript, or just watch the embedded video below….

I particularly like Senator Kennedy’s observation, made again by Olbermann. “You mean, Mr. PResident, you are really prepared to put the lives of the American people at risk just to protect the phone companies?”

Stay tuned . . . .

We live in interesting times.

The best journalists of our days are two comedians, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, and one sportscaster, Keith Olbermann.
