has everyone seen this by now?
i was kind of surprised NBC aired it, as i don't think of NBC as being a particularly progressive network - but go him.

Oooh, thanks, lox, I hadn't seen this. It was amazing.

Will have to check out at home as the youtube link seems to be employer-challenged -
Did anyone see the Olberman send off on SNL a few weeks ago where he was chastising his apartment landlord for not letting his dog in?
Olberman is something else.
Just my .02 - the Beethoven 9th lead in on his show is semi pompous / obnoxious.

Hey DU, it's here.
My first exposure to Olbermann was via the SNL clip, my second exposure was the Prop 8 clip. The first was amusing, the second was moving, but I don't think I'm in a hurry to see more. That being said, he might make an engaging dinner companion.

Awesome. Thanks for posting this.

Well, I still like Olbie most when calling sports games (preferably with Kilby), "La Me-ooo, one timer, hockey term, top shelf, three to one Penguins!"
This was pretty touching though. I can understand why Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly feel threatened by him.

They're all pompous blowhards. Limbaugh refers to O'Reilly as "Ted Baxter".
Makes for great entertainment, though.

Not NBC. MSNBC. Flagship of the Liberal Media.

California stop hetero divorce.
I'm reminded of the backlash a couple years ago after same sex marriage was being banned that sent a bill to the US Senate that banned registered Republicans from marrying. It's great to see hypocrisies exposed.

Too bad he didn't air this before the vote.

Riveting.

OP stated surprise that NBC aired that segment. The branding looked to be MSNBC, the cable channel. MSNBC is usually pilloried by the Right-Nuts for being biased.

Your attempt at being humorous has been futile. Repent.
