Keith O. is working on a "Commentary" book!!
He gave firedoglake the scoop during an online discussion yesterday afternoon:
http://www.firedoglake.com/2006/11/05/fdl-book-salon-welcomes-keith-olbermann-2/

Comment # 208, in response to a query about his "Worst Person in the World" book:

Keith Olbermann says:

Tru @ 84

Keith, I loved this book, especially because it included not only lists of your Worst Persons in the World but also some of your better long-form essays and comments. But I was a little disappointed to learn that it didn’t include two of the best from last year, “Flush the Butts,” about why you quit smoking, and your post-Hurricane Katrina editorial, “The ‘City’ of Louisiana.” Was there any reason you left those out?


Tru, I’m not sure why we dropped Katrina, probably because it was widely disseminated on The Internets and thus easily found by The Google. However, it will be included if we proceed, as I’m discussing right now, with a “Special Comment” book. Ah, there’s a scoop for you…

4. I wonder if they'll be as powerful on the page
as they were when he spoke? The cadences of the Commentaries is remarkable.
