A Millionaire's Brave "Dissent" and "Speaking Truth To Power"

   I had several reactions at once to watching [1]this video of Keith
   Olbermann accepting a Molly Ivins award and slamming American troops
   and law enforcement.

   As much as I disliked Molly Ivins--she was rarely willing to admit
   being wrong on the facts even when caught out publicly, and was often
   pretty shallow and spiteful--I have to say it's a travesty to let a
   blow-dried, self-aggrandizing [2]celebrity who seeks multimillion$$
   contracts for himself to continue his TV show to Molly Ivins. Although
   she probably shared most of his political beliefs, I think she'd have
   seen him as exactly the same kind of fake blow-dried pampered
   self-important and selfish ass that I do.

   It also helps illustrate once again that the left in this country,
   just exactly the same as the right, is dominated by people with very
   deep pockets.
