Leave it to liberals to pile on Sen. John McCain with cheap shots about his age, and we're not talking making jokes about him serving in the Civil War or what not. Mocking John McCain's age, MSNBC's Keith Olbermann imagined that the senator could easily segue from talking about foreign policy or the economy to talking about "buying more Depends or something like that." (h/t Conservative Punk)
"You can dissassociate yourself from that remark if you wish," Olbermann immediately added in his exchange with Rachel Maddow of the liberal Air America radio network.
Yesterday NewsBusters noted a liberal blogger who took a cheap shot at McCain's false teeth. McCain's teeth were bashed out by North Vietnamese tormentors during his time as a POW.

Rachel Maddow, Olbermann's disciple, was seen too mocking the senator's age for having lived through the Great Depression.
Pathetic.
Amazing that this clown can get a corporation to pay him for no ratings.
You can tell what liberals like Olberman are by their criticism of others. They think others are like themselves. They are racist, sexist, and agist, so that's how they think everyone is.
Following the NPR model, which the Republicans could have killed, before they fell dizzy at the troth.
Olberman is THE SINGLE REASON why MSNBC has been removed from the channel rotation of all of my televisions.
Pathetic.
Olbermann is a Left Wing fanatic, and has a head start on Alzheimer’s Disease.
Olbermann will get his just desserts some day.
“Old” doesn’t always equal “feeble”.
May I live to see Olberman in -his- 70s.
Maybe *I* will point and laugh at the “incontinent old coot”.
[nah...not really...I wasn't raised that way. I respect my elders.]
You still pay his salary with your monthly tv bill.
but Keith Obamann can be seen here mocking McCain not based on the issues, but on his age.
This is juvenile and uncalled for. With the hundreds of policy deficiencies, why would anyone make a crack about his age.
I just hope that Olbermann alienated a bunch of viewers (not that he has that many to begin with): seniors, with or without Depends.
If Olbermann didn’t have low class, he’d have no class at all. What a miserable little pr*ck.
Did you read this one? 84 years old!

He'll die of AIDS long before then.
Amazing that a feckless metrosexual such as he sees fit to make sophomoric jokes about a man who has more ba!!s in what’s left of his hair than Olbermann will ever find in his trousers.
Ageism is one of the last acceptable “isms” (along with hatred of white people). As the boomers retire en masse, it may be more difficult to get away with it.
Moral of the story:
Don’t bring a knife to a jar head fight....:)
Ah...swings that way, does he?
Wow, that Kevin Oberman sure has a lot of class.
