It's nice to see that someone in the media isn't afraid to expose the many lies of the Republican candidates.  Keith rocks!!!

It really bothers me that someone with "experience" like McCain, doesn't know that he can't fire Cox. If you are really invested in service and not power, you would know this. Blaming Obama for the economy is offensive on two levels. He either doesn't understand economics or he thinks that people are stupid. There are unfortunately too many stupid people out there who tow the company line come hell or high water. It is a damn shame they can't think for themselves.

Mr Olbermann,

Having recently discovered your web site on the computer, I am just writing to say that you have restored my faith in Americans. Your intelligent, witty, articulate, and incisive commentary is a welcome relief from the lies of the last 8 years.  I am a devoted fan.

Mr Oberman, Can you please talk about why Palin will appear in front of the United Nations? She should not do that..... It could be  very risky could it not ? Do you know when a govenor of a small state ever did this before?  
Thanks,  You are the best.............

Keith,
You are great. Thanks.  Can you explain why the Keating 5 story is not being discussed by the media It seems to me that it is relevant to today's issues with the economy and our evaluation of McCain.

So, guess I'm being real detail oriented...kid of like the "rebubs" Oh! no!, but has anyone an explanation for McCain's attire lately?  Black suits and NO FLAG PIN????  In fact I haven't seen a flag pin for weeks!

Does it also bother you Laurie that Obama didn't know that the Joint Chiefs don't plan wars?

Obama learned quickly did he not? Unfortunately McCain isn't quick on the learning. Which would scare me not necessarily bother me if McCain and Palin were to be seated. Heck even George W. Bush made tons of problems for this country not knowing many things.
