Keith Olbermann will deliver a special comment about Republicans exploiting September 11th during Wednesday night's "Countdown," he announced Tuesday night.
"Tomorrow night here, my special comment on how people like John McCain and Rudy Giuliani have changed our solemn commemoration of 9/11 into the most cynical of political exploitations," he said.
Last week, Olbermann lashed out against the RNC's September 11th tribute video, calling it "graphic" and "probably not appropriate to be shown." It was this impassioned commentary, he said, that led Olbermann and the network to revisit whether he was an appropriate anchor for election night coverage.
During the segment of Olbermann's interview with Barack Obama that aired Tuesday, the MSNBC host asked the presidential candidate about the Republicans' politicization of the September 11th attacks. Obama told Olbermann that the RNC's 9/11 tribute video is "not something we would have done."
