Countdown with Keith Olbermann/Awesome

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • In general, his Special Comments.
  • His impassioned special comment in defense of LGBT Civil Rights in the wake of Proposition 8, which earned him a GLAAD award. Also doubles as a Heartwarming Moment.
  • May 2008: During a slam at Hilary Clinton for bringing up Bobby Kennedy's assassination during a campaign speech, watch what happens at 1:37. Crowning Moment Of Badass, anyone?
  • January 20, 2009: Finishing his show with his usual X Days Since... signoff. "You thought that would change? Are the troops home yet?"
  • May 15, 2009: Texas governor Rick Perry wants to secede Texas from the rest of the Union, so Keith blasts him with a metric ton of logic.
  • Calling Pat Robertson and Rush Limbaugh out for their comments on Haiti:

"Rush Limbaugh and Pat Robertson, your lives are not worth those of the lowest, meanest, poorest victims of those still lying under the rubble of Haiti tonight. You serve no good. You serve no god. You inspire only stupidity and hatred and I would wish you to hell, but knowing how empty your souls must be for you to be able to say such things in a time of such need, I suspect the vacant purposes of the lives you both live now are hell enough already."
