Keith Olbermann is the new hero of the left. It's easy to see why. He is blasting the Bush administration's "gutter politics" several times per week with tight critiques on the President's incompetence and fear-mongering. Yesterday, I wrote about the Republican National Committee's disgraceful television advertisement that uses images of bin Ladin and his terroristic quotes as a means to get out the Republican vote in November.

I have not seen much media commentary on this advertisement, but last night Olbermann handled it. See it here. He throws in a few other jabs at the Department of Homeland Security and its fear-mongering and tactics. This is must-see TV.

In a rational world, someone would fired over this advertisement. But we don't live in a rational world. We instead watch in horror as the administration tried to scare the shit out of the American public by telling them that they will die in a nuclear blast if they do not vote Republican.
