Keith Olbermann's arrogance and pomposity have reached unbelievable heights this year. But he sets a new bar with this ten minute rant against President Bush (and John McCain) and in defense of John Kerry's "botched joke" from the other day.
It's telling that Olbermann starts his screed against Bush by arrogantly assserting, as Kerry did in his "I apologize to no one" speech the other day, that anyone who might have misinterpreted Kerry's words or taken them at face value is either a total moron or completely evil. "The context was unmistakable" Oblermann says, adding that there was "no interpretation required." Really? Is that why millions of Americans, including many U.S. troops from all around the world were offended by Kerry's remarks? But, of course, Keith Olbermann is clearly much smarter than all those people who were "too stupid" to get Kerry's lame joke - even though he "botched" it.
That's exactly the sort of elitist attitude that Americans hate, whether it's coming from a stuck up Senator from Beacon Hill or a stuffed shirt former sports broadcaster who now fancies himself the reincarnation of Edward R. Murrow. Here's the whole ten minutes of Olbermann's unadulterated arrogance, if you can stomach it:

“You know, education, if you make the most of it, if you study hard and you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, uh, you, you can do well.If you don’t, and you get slightly better grades than I did, and you go on to Harvard business school and get an MBA, which I didn't, then you might end up getting elected President of the United States and make decisions that
youget you stuck in Iraq.”John F'n Kerry--October 30, 2006
Any idiot can see that he just slipped and left out a couple of words. /sarcasm
It's still insulting, it's still not funny and it still doesn't make sense.
I think Kerry's specific use of the term "stuffed shirt" in describing Tony Snow, and Olbermann's term, "inflated" are both smarmy little inside jokes to their hip friends in the media elite.
When dems fail to win the House and Senate, set the VCRs and Tivos to Olbermann's show. That's going to be one for the Museum of Radio & Television!
His impotence of mouth is the same as the impotence of his sex life. Just rage for being under endowed.
Yesterday I was trying to figure out who was gayer: Keith or Bill O'Reilly.
Vomit from ingesting the vilest rotten offal of rancid charnel, reingested and then regurgitated, steeped in copious quantities of cadaverine and putrescine, and fermented in a mixture of partially dessicated raw-sewage that is steeping black butyric putrefied corpses in tropical noonday sun would not suprise me if it spewed from the depths of Olberman's throat in a wavey stream that horizontally defies gravity for 50 yds.
Olberman is a most vile and despicable individual, and I'm embarrased that he claims to be of the same race as me.
