I'm not in to fan clubs.

Keith Olbermann is both goofy and bright enough to challenge idiot megalomaniacs like Rush Limbaugh without sinking to their level. And if his brand of madness is too intellectual for the idiocracy. . . if he branches occasionally into eccentricity. . . then God bless the man.

We need more eccentricity. And less madness.

Join me, a natural-born intellectual (though not in a bad way). Make Keith Olbermann a cultural icon. Too earnest to be Stephen Colbert, too smart to be Republican, too modern to be Edward R. Murrow.

To the future! (raise a glass)
