Once More - Smith and Ockomon - The Government in Exile

No video but I found the transcript for Keith Olbermann referring to Anderson as a banana republic (and I do not think he was talking about a clothing store):
What is this bizarre process on which we are focused tonight? Chris Matthews will join me at the anchor desk. That‘s ahead. But first, this breather, COUNTDOWN‘s top three “Best Persons in the Caucus World.”

Number two, best attempt to turn Anderson, Indiana, into a banana republic. Former Mayor Kevin Smith, denied reelection last November, but he claims the new mayor, Kris Ockoman, was improperly sworn in on Tuesday. Ockoman wasn‘t a city resident, he says, the time required before the vote. His lawyer says ex-Mayor Smith won‘t interfere with city business but intends to “rule from exile.” Nobody is saying where the exile will be. Could be Muncie, could be Kokomo. Or maybe he‘ll go so far as to cross the state line and rule from Beaves (ph), Ohio.
