    Not the biggest Keith Olbermann fan, but that was nice.

    I am an Olbermann fan. I'm sad for his loss but happy for her life, she seemed very cool.

    That's the kind of mother I'd like to be someday. Awesome tribute.

    Honestly, it was as close to being the perfect tribute as you can get.

    I've always thought that people who are in a position to tell their personal stories in a major medium have an obligation to make their stories universal- to bring out the elements that make the story about more than just the teller. To make it about life.

    That's what was done with that piece. Olbermann's a power tool, but I'm applauding him here.
