Courage and eloquence from Keith Olberman tonight
Just stunning. I know I am a little late on this but I just saw it two hours ago and I am still shaking. I really don't know what else to say. I am in awe.

3. I think the word 'awe' describes it perfectly for me.
awe - an overwhelming feeling of reverence, admiration, fear, etc., produced by that which is grand, sublime, extremely powerful.

Truth relayed with this much conviction is a very powerful thing. Listening to Olberman is like imagining a shaman traveling through the dark, hellish worlds, confronting and eventually slaying demons in order to bring forth the light, or truth to the tribe, and the whole tribe is healed.

I've heard Bush described as a man of conviction, but Olbermann shows us the powerful combination of conviction backed by truth. Next to him, Bush is a weak, blasphemous, insignificant little man.
