Olbermann's Crutch
More from the WSJ's opinionjournal.com. They were particularly snarky today:
Worst Person in the World: 5-Year-Old Suzie!
From a New York magazine profile of MSNBC's Keith Olbermann:
It probably won't come as much of a surprise that when Keith Olbermann was a kid, he got the tar kicked out of him on a regular basis. And not by the football team. "I got beat up by girls all the time," says Olbermann. "They literally posted a sign-up sheet and would take turns. I think that's why I've always been such a fan of Mencken's line, 'Afflict the comfortable and comfort the afflicted.' I've been afflicted."
Olbermann's affliction began at age 5 . . .
It's been said that a conservative is a liberal who's been mugged by reality. Apparently a liberal is someone who's been mugged by little girls.

The actual statement is:
A conservative is a liberal who's been mugged and a liberal is a conservative who's been arrested.
Umm, no one, Garrett. Read the quote again.
And I don't know where you get that, Suz.
My favorite is the Churchill quote when asked why he switched parties (paraphrased - I can't recall the original):
"If a young man is not a liberal he has no heart; if an older man is not a conservative he has no brain"
mine was a joke.

Ok....
"Apparently a liberal is someone who's been mugged by little girls."
I read it. Your point?
