Not just from me, but from all of us for whom that day is still very vivid and painful.

Please note: This is just KO, not the RNC “tribute” of which he speaks. Please do not post links to that video in the comments.

Well my Cubs lost again last night, and Big Z may not be any good for the rest of the season. I blame the wave of negativity coming through the Midwest from St. Paul.

Tonight is the final night of the Elephant Party Party, where John McCain POW will accept his party’s nomination. I’m staying away again tonight (the past eight years have taught me that reading transcripts is safer for my television), but I have just had a report that many delegates are wearing hats shaped like alligators with Obama figures in their jaws. I have no words.

Talk amongst yourselves.

TVNewser talks to Phil Griffin about Our Mr. Olbermann anchoring the RNC from New York:

Griffin and Olbermann were at the Chicago Cubs game Saturday, separately. Olbermann also went to Sunday’s game and, during a morning email exchange, Griffin suggested Olbermann should go back to New York, instead of on to St. Paul. Olbermann responded “Seriously?”

Oh, Keith! You went to Wrigley and didn’t invite me? Humph!

So Griffin tells KO that he doesn’t have to work outdoors, shouting over crowds, living out of a suitcase for a week but can stay at home and play traffic cop from the comfort of the studio? Yeah. Like he wouldn’t take that offer!

TVN also spoke with Tweety on the subject:

“He’s a very strongly predictable person in the way of his professionalism. I’m uneven and, what’s the right word, flamboyant and impulsive.”

…

“You gotta watch it. Don’t you see that we get along? Forget the scuttle, don’t you see how we get along? I think it’s pretty obvious we get along.”

Yes, Chris. Every time I see you two work in the studio it appears that you get along just fine. When you snapped at Keith for trying to wrap things up last week you were just being flamboyant and impulsive while he was being predictably professional.
