MSNBC's Keith Olberman was one of my media-heroes in 2006. So far he remains in the same position in 2007 (via Crooks and liars), thanks to his speech commenting Bush's recent use of the word "sacrifice" in relation to the Iraq War:
As Senator Biden has pointed out, the new troops might improve the ratio our forces, face relative to those living in Baghdad (friend and foe), from 200 to 1, to just 100 to 1.
"Sacrifice?"
No.
A drop in the bucket.
The additional men and women you have sentenced to go there, sir, will serve only as targets. They will not be there "short-term," Mr. Bush; for many it will mean a year or more in death's shadow. This is not temporary, Mr. Bush. For the Americans who will die because of you… it will be as permanent as it gets.
