Keith Olberman on Rumsfeld
While the scathing satire of Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart is certainly appreciated and indeed necessary in today's political climate, I was always too well aware that sometimes there schtick got in the way of their message. It seemed that the conservatives maintained such a large influence over the public because of their earnestness, not their sarcasm. I felt that what the democrats/liberals needed was someone who was eloquent, earnest and passionate. I think I may have found that person.

i think you're exactly right. americans, on the whole, have been compelled by emotion these last few years. more than ever we react to the tone and delivery of the news/news commentary, rather than the actual content of said news/commentary. I think Keith O, particularly in this case, does a good job of deliberating on his point in an authoratative manner- something that those who staunchly disagree with the status quo have been unable to do without being sarcastic (as you mentioned) or sounding like victims. Lou Dobbs does a good job of this sometimes too.
I thought this was going to be funny>>>> UR GAY
