Olbermann alert

Giuliani: "Elect a Democrat, and 9/11 happens again."
Olbermann: Special Comment tonight. :-)

Olbermann's Problem With Free Speech

Leave it to a whiny shitbag like Keith Olbermann to try to turn the unfortunate Don Imus situation into a platform to launch attacks on all other conservative talk show hosts. From the transcript of his April 11 broadcast:

OLBERMANN: Relative to not music but news, entertainment, and the idea that Don Imus was not alone among those who have made remarks like this, let me go through a few names and then ask you a question in terms of momentum, in terms of fairness.

Comments by people like Rush Limbaugh, who calls Senator Barack Obama and actress Halle Berry, quote, “halfrican-Americans.” Michael Savage, who asked whether the Voting Right Acts intended to counteract racial discrimination at the ballot box was trying to, quote, “put a chad in every crack house.” There‘s Neil Boortz, the other radio talker, who said the black congressman Cynthia McKinney looked, quote, “like a ghetto slut.” Glenn Beck from CNN and ABC, who referred to the largely African-American survivors of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans as, quote, “scumbags,” and who, when he interviewed the Black Muslim congressman, Keith Ellison, from Minnesota, said he felt like saying to him, “Sir, prove to me that you are not working with our enemies.”

Do I really need to dig up Olbermann or other left-wing talkers (a dying breed) offensive quotes to point out that he singled out these folks?

It was a failed joke in poor taste. And now it's being used as a starting point for a jihad against others. Typical.

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.

Glenn Beck Rips On Olbermann

Well deserved, I might add. Beck does show restraint, but he's generally a class act.
