Olbermann called her, "Sanctimonious, holier than thou, exploitative, undignified, pedantic, childish, self-inflicting, insipid, backwards, embarrassing, over-reactive, overreaching" as well as a "delusional lunatic."

This is a PERFECT description of Olbermann, not at all accurate for Palin.

In clinical psychopathology, this is termed Projective Indentification: You accuse an innocent other person of precisely your own flaws, accurate down to the smallest detail, but utterly berift of even the slightest insight.
