I saw this and since he himself characterized it as "snark" I wasn't expecting something as hard hitting or information laden as usual. OMG! He blew me away - as usual.
I start to wonder if she has faked her academic records - or just never paid attention in school if she didn't agree.
I'm glad Keith has gotten his 4 more years cuz we definitely still need his voice.

What scares me more is the possibility that she's a good (or at least competent) historian who has set her education and discipline aside in favor of loyalty to the administration. Over and over again, we see that Bush prizes loyalty over truth.
Some day, will Rice have the self-honesty to look back and say, "Once I was a scholar"?
We just started recording Keith Olberman, based on the Special Commentaries we've seen online and at the very beginning of the show with the first quote from Condi: "…It would be like saying that after Adolf Hitler was overthrown, we needed to change then, the resolution that allowed the United States to do that, so that we could deal with creating a stable environment in Europe after he was overthrown." my fiance said...
Wow. I heard that comment, slapped a mental "Godwin's Law" label on it, boggled for a moment, and moved on before my head could explode in rush hour traffic.
Hooray for Olbermann risking the cranial devastation to give it more analysis than it deserves, but unfortunately no more than people NEED.

Coincidence that she's a fifth grade teacher?
