Video: Olbermann 'special comment' on White House campaign tactics

On MSNBC's Countdown, Keith Olbermann remarks in his trademark "Special
Comment" on the absurdity of the Bush administration's attacks on Sen.
John Kerry, under fire for remarks construed by Republicans as an insult
to American troops.

Olbermann recalls the violent 1856 caning by Rep. Preston Brooks of
South Carolina on the vociferous, anti-slavery Sen. Charles Sumner of
Massachusetts which disabled the senator for three years and was one of
the memorable events leading up to the Civil War. In support, Brooks'
constituents sent him new canes; drawing a parallel, Olbermann remarks,
"We almost wonder to whom President Bush will send the next 'new cane.'"
