I Love Keith Olbermann

“If you believe in the seamless mutuality of government and big business, come out and say it. There is a dictionary definition; one word that describes that toxic blend. You’re a fascist! Get them to print you a t-shirt with ‘Fascist’ on it!”

Keith Olbermann’s latest Special Comment nails President Bush to the wall, taking him to task on playing the “fear card” (again) and the civil rights fiasco that is the FISA bill. For all of the over-the-top bluff and bluster of most political pundits, I like that Olbermann saves his righteous indignation for key moments like this, making it much more effective when he lets loose.

ETA: Well, well, well; it appears perhaps the Democrats may have found their backbone:

It was, The New York Times reports, “the greatest challenge to Mr. Bush on a major national security issue since the Democrats took control of Congress last year.”
