Keith Olbermann comes out of the closet....as a liberal! Oh no, the dreaded "L" word!

"I find myself currently aligned, not in the sense of having membership, but being in the same part of the ballpark as a lot of liberals," says the host of MSNBC's "Countdown."

Okay he doesn't exactly say he is a Liberal he just admits to sharing our ballpark. Good enough for me!

In recent weeks he has begun the program this way:

"Black-bag jobs and the Bush administration. In the past, previous jobs have been run against the likes of Martin Luther King, and Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist, and the Democratic Party."

"Wheeling, West Virginia, where Joe McCarthy started his string of the most memorable speeches, today's stop on the George W. Bush I-Am-Nothing-If-Not-Deeply-Misunderstood Express."

"President versus media, again. Any credibility left, anyone?"

"Any similarity to President Lyndon Johnson, circa 1967, is purely coincidental."

"Pollster says, which one word best describes President Bush? . . . The correct answer starts with 'in -- ,' has 'compe -- ' in the middle and ' -- tent' at the end."

Oh he is one of us all right. A card carrying liberal if ever I have seen one.

Hey can we actually get a card? I never got my card.
