UPDATED: Request for Keith Olbermann -- I Think [?] and/or Kossack community

Hey, Keith.  Love your show.  Love how you give us Kossacks sneak previews of the big bombshells.

I'm a little disturbed by something this afternoon.  After reading this morning's WaPo article about McCain's temper [great read, everybody -- check it out if you haven't already!], and a few follow-up diaries here, I headed to my "Favorites" list to find my very favorite video about McCain's temper so I could post it here, and it has diaappeared.  I need your help, because this video needs to get out to the American people.

It was a video from your show.  The episode entitled "McAngry."  Had some awesome footage of various military & political folks who have experienced or witnessed McCain's rage in action, and their opinions about what that means about his fitness for office.  It was some really shocking stuff.

So anyway, I went to my favorites list, and found the video as a YouTube embed (credited to you) at a blogsite called JohnMcCaingry.com.  But when I clicked on it to repeat my previous viewing pleasure, I was disappointed instead to get a black screen with a message in little tiny white letters:  "We're sorry, this video is no longer available."

So I hopped over to the direct YouTube site for more info.  There I got a more informative message, saying it had been removed for terms of use violation.  OK, fair enough.  I actually believe in copyright law.

So I next headed over to the Countdown website, assuming that even if MSNBC didn't want the video published through YouTube, I'd be able to see it on your website -- it being a way more important compilation of information for the presidential race than that stupid Rev. Wright's Greatest Hits shit that is so ubiquitously available.

But Keith -- I've checked all your "best of" videos, I've searched on your site using the search term "McAngry," which I know was the title of the episode, and I can't find it anywhere.

I'm sure this is an oversight, and not evidence that your corporate bosses are trying to withhold the truth from the American people about the Republican candidate for President.  So I'm hoping you'll have a quick word with them to get that video up on your website (and preferably on their main network website as well) ASAP.

I'm counting on you, Keith.  This matters.

UPDATE: Psilocynic has posted a video from Countdown that s/he found by searching "mcangry" on YouTube.  Nice video, please watch it if you haven't, but it isn't the one I was talking about.  So now I'm wondering if I was wrong about the source of the one I was talking about.  Maybe it wasn't from Countdown?  If anyone has seen this video -- it was fairly long and had a lot of military guys and politicians speaking extensively about their experiences with McCain, please let me know what the source is and if you have a current working link.
