Olbermann’s Special Comment on RNC’s Video

Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

Keith Olbermann had a special comment about the RNC’s 9/11 video.
Say what you will about Olbermann, but he’s right on the money with this commentary. The RNC’s 9/11 Video was distasteful, political fear mongering, and quite frankly, shameful (that word keeps showing up in descriptions of the McCain campaign.)
