Olbermann Blasts Bush

I watched quite a bit of the CSPAN2 memorial to the 9-11 victims last night. It was only friends and families of the victims reading the names and memorializing their loved ones. No photo-ops, no network "docudrama" spin. Just people still grieving for lost husbands & wives, sons & daughters. It was very touching, a fitting way to remember the dead.
From Crooks & Liars. Keith Olbermann blasts George W. Bush:

Partial transcript:

Half a lifetime ago, I worked in this now-empty space.
And for 40 days after the attacks, I worked here again, trying to make sense of what happened, and was yet to happen, as a reporter.
And all the time, I knew that the very air I breathed contained the remains of thousands of people, including four of my friends, two in the planes and — as I discovered from those "missing posters" seared still into my soul — two more in the Towers.
And I knew too, that this was the pyre for hundreds of New York policemen and firemen, of whom my family can claim half a dozen or more, as our ancestors.
I belabor this to emphasize that, for me… this was, and is, and always shall be, personal.
And anyone who claims that I and others like me are "soft", or have "forgotten" the
lessons of what happened here — is at best a grasping, opportunistic, dilettante
— and at worst, an idiot — whether he is a commentator, or a Vice President, or
a President.
However. Of all the things those of us who were here five years ago could have forecast — of all the nightmares that unfolded before our eyes, and the others that unfolded only in our minds… none of us could have predicted… this.
Five years later this space… is still empty.
Five years later
there is no Memorial to the dead.
Five years later there is no building rising to show with proud defiance that we would not have our America wrung from us, by cowards and criminals.
Five years later this country’s wound is still open.
Five years… later this country’s mass grave is still unmarked.
Five years later… this is still… just a background for a photo-op.
It is beyond shameful.
