Keith Olbermann floored me last night with his commentary on Prop 8. Emotional and on the verge of tears throughout, the anchor of "Countdown" picked up the tattered and torn population that is gay California, put them back on their feet, and then looked directly into the camera and confronted those who voted for this proposition on their reasoning. "Why does this matter to you? What is it to you?" he asked.
Although usually right on point, Olbermann's "Special Comments" can sometimes be over the top and mellow dramatic. But not this one. This is spot-on in tone and timbre. Thank you, Keith...thank you a million times over.
Last night's commentary, in full...
As I have said previously, we all need to put this loss behind us and start the job of changing minds. That is how we overturn this. With his emotional commentary last night, it seems Keith changed the mind of Christine, a DailyKos diarist. Read her testimonial here.
