Countdown with Keith Olbermann Video | Special Commentary on Passage of Proposition 8

I usually only watch Keith Olbermann for entertainment value, but I am quite impressed with this video. I haven’t heard such an impassioned speech in a long time.

I have a friend. A lovely woman who, like me, fell in love with an Aussie. She just gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. And next week? Well, next week she is flying to California with her love and son.

She was going to get married next week. But now? Now she can’t. Because the Australian she happened to fall in love with is a woman.

Imagine planning your wedding and waking up one morning to hear that other people you don’t even know have decided you can’t get married.

It’s disgusting. My heart breaks for her.
