I don't track Keith Olbermann's descents into mean-spirited bad taste systematically enough to definitively proclaim that he has charted a new low. Let's just say that he has once again indulged his proclivity to traffic for political purposes in the worst of ill-will.
Readers will recall during that during the 2004 presidential campaign, both members of the Dem ticket went clumsily out of their way to alert voters to the fact that Dick and Lynne Cheney have a gay daughter, Mary. In that same mean spirit, on tonight's Countdown Olbermann acidly observed: "the Vice-President is about to become a grandfather for the sixth time. Daughter Mary having a baby with her partner. You have to wonder if that is in the Christmas card for the conservative base."
The program later aired what might have been a straightforward news story about the coming baby. But Olbermann couldn't resist, in segueing to the next segment, taking a parting shot at the Cheneys as a "dysfunctional family that doesn't live by its own rules."
Merry Christmas to you too, Keith.

Olbermann's latest-low ping to Today show list.
MSNBC needs to change their name from MSNBC to HSAL (Hate Speech and Lies). The entire channel is beyond disgusting. The Olberidiot is trash, pure trash.
No class. He sounds like the typical person whose temperament is marred by being "soft around the edges." Hence, the vitriol and vindictive. Like an adolescent girl.
Olbermann's a punk. Do those Christmas cards even mention the offspring, or just Dick and Lynne?
So it's OK for liberals to gay bash...
Why would this upset anybody at this site: there are at least two threads saying the very same thing right on this forum.
Off the ping list please.
Olbermann is such a BOOOB!
He's a nut. A sick nut.
Nothing could be worse than the face of that sanctimonius
dufus! I thought he was going away to cnbc where he will get even lower viewership than he already has!
Keith "The Moron" Olbermann is just one big bundle of tolerance, love and sensitivity isn't he? Typical Commie liberal.
Maybe Keith is just jealous that he and his partner can't have a baby.
Now that the Rats are back in Congress, MSNBC may want to tone it down a bit. He is on the Air America trajectory.
Is he gay, too?
