No matter what you think of Keith Olbermann’s political views, you have to admit his farewell last night to his mother, who died on Saturday, was a wonderful segment from a son to his mom:
I’m not a baseball fan, but watching this, I wish I’d caught a few games just to see Olbermann’s mom in the stands. All sympathy to you, Mr. Olbermann.

I hate Keith Olbermann but this was really touching.
Jerk made me cry.
That was a a wonderful goodbye.
That was beautiful.
I don’t watch Keith Oberman. Its not whether i like him or not, i just dont always watch MSNBC all that much. But this made me tear up and i think i really am about to cry. That was a touching goodbye and his little Good Night And Good Luck was probably the most touching
I thought it was touching. Beautifully done by Keith. I do adore Keith and agree with just about all he says. He’s the greatest, which means his Mom had to be great too.
What an amazing mom and an equally amazing tribute.
thanks for posting, very moving
That got me choked up. My condolences.
As a mom, you’d want nothing more than to be truly loved, and truly missed. Condolences to the family, and congratulations to Mom on a life well spent.
Dear Keith,,I am sending my deepest sympathies to you and your family in this sad time,,May your dear mom rest in peace and love,,,

I love to watch Keith. The tribute to his mother was one of his finest segments. My sympathy to Keith and his family–I thought of my own late Mom as well as Keith’s Mom when he was speaking. The old pictures and films were especially moving–thanks Keith.
KEITH OLBERMAN IS THE BEST NEWSCASTER OUT THERE WE WATCH HIM EVERYDAY…
HE MADE ME CRY!WHAT A LOVELY SEGMENT & WHAT A LOVELY SON TO HAVE… I’M SURE YOUR MOTHER WAS VERY VERY PROUD OF YOU.
GOD BLESS YOU KEITH & MAY YOUR MOTHER’S SOUL REST IN ETERNAL PEACE- AMEN.
FOREVER YOUR FAN!
When you are so very, very sad, remember all the good things about your mother. I hope my children will. I am so truly sorry about your loss. God bless.
Keith, your short tribute to your mom was the epitomy of respect and love. I felt I knew her after watching the short video. She has endowed you with the finest of talents, use them wisely as she will always be watching. Your show is enlightening.
Keith, your tribute is what all moms hope for, tears came easily as I listened and watched.Condolences to your family and may God bless you all.
She will forever be beside you and smiling down.
