That said (and given the fact that I’m a cynic and a smartass), it’s even more rare for me to be moved at all by political or social commentary from the mainstream media.  And if I close my eyes, ignore Olbermann’s overloud sighs and the switching of camera angles for dramatic effect, I hear the words I wish I could have come up with myself:

To echo my friend Rebecca: 

What he said.

(By the way, it took me 2 hours to write re-write edit this post.  Just sayin’)
