Boing Boing: Oh, Keith Olbermann, how I love thee.

Oh, Keith Olbermann, how I love thee.

A searing opinion piece from MSNBC's Keith Olbermann that captures the sentiments of many this week regarding the Great American Clusterfuck of Katrina. I suppose that's GACK for short, which in turn sounds like the noise produced when a country chokes on its own government.

[M]ost chillingly of all, this is the Law and Order and Terror government. It promised protection — or at least amelioration — against all threats: conventional, radiological, or biological. It has just proved that it cannot save its citizens from a biological weapon called standing water.
