Keith Olbermann made a good point this morning

in his daily podcast, which is terrific (you can skip the commercials and the dog segment easily if you wish and increase the speed of course. He sounds fine at 1.5x)

He said that when Biden says the word “fascist”, everyone in the media has to repeat the word when reporting it and it takes on a life of its own. Boy, is he mad as hell….and boy does he hate Trump. Wow.

His final segment daily is a usually-wonderful piece on how he interacted with people of note many years ago and how small a world it is.

Wow.

I thought it was funny-peculiar that he kept saying that one of his ex-GF was Katy Tur. But his personal life was always apart of his show. That’s ok.

13. But Democrats being called socialists, communists and the enemy all the time is no big deal

Because it is expected from Republicans.

Democrats are expected to be nice. So it shocks everyone when we even touch upon the type of retoric the right uses all the time.

15. K&R, and a technical note - you can advance forward 30 seconds or go back

15 seconds, in order to fast-forward through commercials.

I'm definitely addicted to the podcast, and your initial recommendation provided the impetus for my interest!
