As has been apparent over the years, I am a huge fan of Keith Olbermann and even though he was occasionally over the top *cough* but his position as the Ransom Stoddard of media (no, it is not a deliberately obscure reference, look it up if you don't know and shame if you have never seen the film.) casting light on the staid positions on most political journalism was a breath of fresh air and he never became a caricature of himself (even with Ben Affleck's brilliant impression).
Even more than Rachel Maddow, even when I disagreed with him, I learned something new from Keith.
My daily enjoyment of his will be missed, and his voice will be missed by members of the left who are not happy being portrayed as Un-American and unconcerned with the future of our country.
This is a very good tribute by Mitchell Bard.
See you soon, Keith.
