If he didn't make so much as host of MSNBC's Countdown, Keith Olbermann might be asking some very prominent lawmakers for speechwriting fees. That's because he's becoming the go-to guy for antiwar rhetoric. And, we're told, Olbermann's show-ending "special comments" have been entered into the Congressional Record at least twice.

I’ve finally figured out George Dubya’s philosophy: If you can’t solve a
problem, make it bigger:
If you can’t solve a problem, expand it.

“Oh,
speaking of oil, the price of oil continues to fall. It’s now dropped below $54
a barrel. Got that? $54 a barrel. So, if oil is less than $54 a barrel, why did

A baby Slender Loris is seen in this undated handout image released by the Zoological Society of London on January 15, 2007. Scientists launched a bid on Tuesday to save some of the world's rarest and most neglected creatures from extinction. With an initial list of just 10, including a venomous shrew-like creature, an egg-laying mammal and the world's smallest bat, the programme will give last ditch conservation aid where to date there has been little or none.
