Missing Olberman, but Bashir is coming on strong [View all]

Really appreciate all the clips from Martin Bashir's show. Keith managed to get in some zingers consistently, certainly with his "special comments", but Martin is so pointedly direct and wickedly sarcastic. I'm glad he'll be around this election season. The British accent makes his skewering even more entertaining.
