Tim Thomas Beats Out a Cat Killer to Earn Title of 'The Worst Person in the World'

Tim Thomas, who skipped out on the Bruins White House visit due to his political beliefs, is worse than a cat killer.

At least that's what Keith Olbermann thinks, as he labeled Thomas the "Worst Person in the World for Jan. 24, 2012" during Tuesday night's episode of Countdown With Keith Olbermann, as seen in the script and video below.

"Find out why Hal Rounds, spokesman for several local tea parties in Tennessee, is WORSE; whoever killed the cat of Jake Burris, the campaign manager for Democrat Ken Aden who is running for the House of Representatives in Arkansas, is WORSER; and Tim Thomas, goaltender for the Boston Bruins, is the WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD for Jan. 24, 2012."

Other recent "Worst People in the World" have been: Bryan Fischer, Rush Limbaugh, Lamar Smith, Bill O’Reilly, Bernard Goldberg, Dr. Ruth Jacobs, Newt Gingrich, Mike O’Neal, Mitt Romney and Donald Ainsworth.

To top it off, Thomas got benched for his refusal to participate in the photo-op.

Of course, his replacement gave up 4 goals on just 22 shots and Boston wound up losing to the Capitals.

Akin to a double negative, being named “Worst Person in the World” by someone as despicable as Keith Olbermann is one of the highest honors you can achieve.

If he looked in the mirror he would find a good candidate for his list.

Keep dreaming, because it's close to reality already. He may not be the worst, but his award may just be the worst, and dumbest, award ever given. Plus he's already proved himself in the top 1% (of worst people).

I had never seen this guy before, so I clicked on the video. (I had heard of him, and read some articles about him on FR, so I knew a bit about how truly stupid he is.)

Good grief! It just reminded me why I never turn on a tv “news” show............

What a colosal POS!

Just another reason why this nation is in decline.........

If he isn’t projecting his own miserable existence unto others is over compensating in order to avoid his own shortcomings. None of what he says does anything to improve the economy or humanity at large.
In otherwords kiethy is a blowheart with delusions of grandeur.
Keith Olbermann wins the life time acheivement award for the biggest twit in the universe and beyond!

Pussy cats were a klintoon thing but he only abused and raped them, there is no proof that he ever killed any.

I wonder if all the people yelling and screaming about how terrible and unpatriotic Tim Thomas is for skipping out on the White House ceremony were similarly outraged when Boston Red Sox owner John Henry and GM Theo Epstein, both avowed Democrats, skipped out on George W. Bush’s 2007 White House ceremony to celebrate Boston’s World Series victory?

I was concerned at first, but then I saw it was Keith Olbermann.

The opinion of a liberal idiot is so predictably slanted as to be ignored immediately and considered as libtard disinformation.

Dammit! I didn’t make the list AGAIN!

I will have to try harder.

The Olber-moron is even less relevant now than when he was at PMSNBC/MSDNC.

That reminds me, now that I’ve had my coffee, I need to go take an Olbermann.

Oh yeah! A sports star skips out on a campaign photo-op; which is his constitutional right and apparently not specified in his contract and he is the worst person in the world.

The National Socialist Democrat Party and their Fuehrer barry are pushing harder to be able to have the peons appear and adore on command just like their North Korean counterparts command hordes of “sincere” mourners.

FUBO & FAD

Isn’t it cute how Olbermann thinks his opinion matters to Thomas?
