8. Wow.
That is one of the most impassioned pleas I've ever heard. Good job, Keith! I hope my fundie, anti-gay marriage mom was listening tonight. That is the last hurdle of prejudice she has that I'm trying to remove.

10. He made a good point that there were many states
where Obama's parents would not have been able to get married. I hope that give the president-elect something to think about.

11. I think that may have been his best Special Comment ever.
He's said a lot of things before that have needed to be said, but this was different. It was personal. Not an expression of outrage so much as it was a plea from the heart. It's one I'll always remember, anyway.

Touching...very touching and, oh, so true!

12. I'm still sobbing.
Best and most heartfelt, IMO, Special Comment ever.
The World is a much better place because we have Keith Olbermann in it.

So, link, anyone? Please?

This matter is dear to my own heart, and that two of my best friend who were planning a California wedding/honeymoon (Disneyland, get THAT!).

20. One of his best ever, special comments. Needs to be printed up
published in newspapers, magazines, etc. He really nailed it.
