I was a little appalled by the "tribute" video that the Republican National Convention ran tonight, featuring fairly graphic imagery and descriptions. I said out loud, "Seven years later? Why are they doing this now?" It didn't fit with what they were doing before and afterward (well, except for the apocalyptic constipated turtle, Lindsay Graham's speech).
Keith Olbermann--visibly upset--spoke pointedly about it, after making the conscious effort to remove himself from the other commentators thematically. He was clear that it was his opinion, not the other panelists or MSNBC's. Take a look.
I loved it. I sent him an email, thanking him for speaking up about it.
