An Open Letter to Keith Olbermann

Please use your pulpit to offer some manageable solutions, rather than pleading with criminals to stop leading lives of astounding luxury because of the crimes they happily commit.

Dearest Keith:

align="right">This is coming from a guy who only watched SportsCenter
because you and Dan were on it. As well as a dude who couldn't stand
watching you parrot the Lewinsky coverage in the 1990s because, as it
obvious to everyone else in the world now, it was totally beneath you.

But your target="blank">recent call on style="font-style:italic;">Countdown for Bush to resign may
have been a brilliant piece of agitprop, but as we both know it has
zero chance in holy hell of happening. Bush and Cheney's ascendancy to
power had nothing to do with the law, and in fact the Supremes paved
the way for both of them. Both started a war of aggression against a
sovereign nation without a care of international law. Both outed
covert agents here, jailed innocents everywhere and much worse. The
idea that they are going to feel guilty for screwing the law and the
people it is supposed to protect is laughable.

In other words, you should have called for his impeachment.

That, my friend, would have showed balls. Same if Nancy Pelosi, who
has no literal or figurative balls to speak of did it, which of
course, having no balls, she won't. Doing so would have added to fuel
to the national fire of impeachment. I also think it would have gone a
long way to exorcize your Lewinsky demons, when another, better
president was actually impeached for getting his White House wanker
sucked off by a Beverly Hills High School moocow.

In any case, thanks for speaking some truth to power in these dark
ages. Your arm has grown long indeed, to mangle Tolkien, and its
influence is growing more than ever. Please use it to offer some
manageable solutions, rather than pleading with criminals to stop
leading lives of astounding luxury because of the crimes they happily
commit.

You might as well ask the Cubs to win the World Series.

P.S. Please accept my apology for this letter if you actually
called for Bush's impeachment before. Not talked about it, or teased
out the possibilities. Actually called for it. If that already
happened, I'd like to apologize for the crack about the Cubs. I know
you don't care whether they win the World Series or not, but it's just
not fair to Chicago to keep rubbing it in.
