I have had little reason in the recent dark years to cheer a fellow American, let alone a journalist, for speaking the truth in such a way as to stir my latent patriotism. Well, it happened today, and the journalist’s name is Keith Olbermann of MSNBC. In a passionate and scathing analysis of the Bush administration in general and Donald Rumsfeld in particular, he single-handedly showed me a light at the end of this long and desperate tunnel we, as Americans, have wandered into. I applaud both the substance and the passion with which he delivered this commentary on his nightly news program, Countdown. Now if some of our political “leaders” will show a bit of his moxy, we might just see off these miscreants once and for all. Here’s hoping so.
