Shameless Keith Olbermann Plug

Of all the TV news personalities on today, there is just one I really enjoy. He's also the only one who doesn't seem consumed by his own ego, actually seems to think about what he's discussing, and covers a certain roundness of both sides missing all too much on TV right now.

Obviously, I'm talking about Keith Olbermann, whom I discovered just before he departed MSNBC the last time (after the Lewinsky issue). Frankly, he's the only reason to ever go near MSNBC which has become trite, stupid, and very much like Faux News (but without the conviction).

You could amass the collective gene pools of Paula Zahn, Lou Dobbs, Deborah Norville (who can't be bothered to learn how to pronounce the names of many of her guests), Bill Hemmer/Sole-duh O'Brien, Chris Matthews, Tim Russert, et al and still not come close to Keith's style, wit, wisdom, or skill.
