I'm not bothering to cut this, because I'm that incensed.
I thought nothing could top my disgust for the gleeful partisan meanness of last night, but kudos to whoever put that video together that was supposed to be a tribute to 9/11 heroes but has now become my number one reason why the Republican party needs to let someone else cut in for a while.
There was an unspoken taboo in the media that graphic images from 9/11 were not to be used for partisan purposes, and that has just been broken. Someone in the GOP's convention team thought it would be awesome to show 3 minutes of cut-together footage that even the "liberal media" won't dare show. And then the crowd burst into applause and cheers at the end. For God's sake, even Michael Moore's propagand-ish film about 9/11 had the decency to black out the screen and not show us all that.
It's on YouTube, but I'm not going to dare link it. If you're curious, it's easy enough to find. Keith Olbermann may be a sexist ass who is so far in the tank for Obama he's digging a ditch in the bottom of it, but he's absolutely right this time: that was inappropriate, to say the least.

Terrorists killing Americans = BAD
Cheering for that and seeing any mention of it as a gleeful partisan attack = SICKO SCUMBAG

(And a lame disclaimer re your Keith comment: when I say I <3 him, it's based on knowing two things about him total -- the Umbridge comparison and the Maddow show. I plead ignorance of any sexist assholery that goes on on TV! :P)

The Republicans keep making me madder and madder.
