Nice composition

1. K & R before I even watch it. I know it will be great - it's your work

and it's Olbermann.

Now I'll treat myself to his views on the Brownie Bake. Thanks! :hi:

4. Powerful - Keith starts by saying that it could be the tipping point for

this administration and goes from there. He says - in better words - that Brown's terrible reputation was improved by the hearings today and that Bush's and Chertoff's went the other way. He included some excerpts with several of the senators, including high points we had noted here in the hearing liveblogging threads. His lambasting by Coleman, his then being given a chance to say that yes, he's being scapegoated, and more. Brown certainly turned the table on Coleman's attempts to scapegoat him.

5. ***LINK TO THREAD ON EARLIER KO SHOW, "The City of Louisiana"

It's his single most powerful show on the Katrina catastrophe and one of his best ever. He refers to it in the current thread's clip.

This show, "The City of Louisiana," should be seen by us all. It aired on September 5, 2005, and it clearly comes right from his soul.

6. Related thread on the NYT article referred to, the one that shows that

the WH KKNEW THE LEVEES BROKE MUCH EARLIER THAN THEY CLAIMED:

11. KO is the most amazing man ever.

I adore him, on so many levels.

12. Are you aware of the DU group called the KOEB? That's an acronym

for the "Keith Olbermann Estrogen Brigade," though estrogen-challenged individuals are warmly welcomed. Lots of great history with this bunch. I think they are still liveblogging KO shows when he hosts:

Much fun silliness and pretend swooning, much serious and clever journalism. Many :loveya:s. It's a tradition. KO once wore a tie from the group on his broadcast, and the KOEB has been discussed many times on Randi Rhodes' show. The official KOEB toast is
:toast: "To The Ties That Bind"
...and that's a WHOLE 'nother story...

9. Thanks for posting - I've been at work all day.

Had to leave as soon as the hearings started, and
been wondering all day what the heck was going on.

Man - I actually feel sorry for Brownie.
sitting in his hotel room crying, screaming....

Just look at the smear they did on him.
This administration has no morals.
I'm glad he got the chance to clear his name.

10. Thanks as always!
