Van Jones's resignation has the left wringing their hands, infuriated that Glenn Beck and few righties managed to get one of their own booted out of office.
So, what's the best way to strike back? By dredging up dirt and slinging mud. At least that's the opinon of Keith Olbermann, who told his followers to "Find everything you can about Glenn Beck, Stu Burguiere, and Roger Ailes."
Olbermann was moved in part by the Van Jones resignation, and in part from this tweet from Glenn Beck's Twitter feed, "FIND EVERYTHING YOU CAN ON CASS SUNSTEIN, MARK LLOYD AND CAROL BROWNER.”
This doesn't look like it will end particularly well, now does it? As David Carr writes, it makes less sense to attack someone that isn't in government, "What might Mr. Olbermann do if someone digs up dirt on his intended targets, who, like him, work in the infotainment industry and have been elected by no one?"
Maybe the smarter way to avenge Van Jones would be to give him a regular slot on Olbermann's show to talk about green jobs, and how he was robbed of his government job by angry knuckleheads.

OH YA, And that worked so well against O’Riley.
Who’s this Olbermann guy? I cant seem to find anyone with decent ratings by that name.
Olberman will be gone soon...
I think he is looking for ratings.
You don’t seem angry.
We ought to take up a collection to pay some 100 pound old lady to kick Olbermans ass.
Clearly Olberdork is Jonesing for Van Jones. He’s so gay.
Can Mr. Caterpillar Eyebrows REALLY launch a war if he has no ratings? That would be the same issue as whether a tree falls in the forest with nobody around, makes a noise.
Hey there Jay Yarow, come on over here and call me a knucklehead to my face.
I'll show you what a good rap to your head with my knuckles feels like.
Say Jay, how's them long-term presstitute job prospects working out?
Lot's of “knuckleheads” rushing to subscribe?
No? Darn Jay, wonder what could possibly be the reason?
Hey, Jay, I'll do you a favor, come over here and I'll use my knuckles to knock some sense into your head (free of charge Jay, free of charge).
What about the 91 year old lady with the 45 yr old mercury comet?
Psychotics like olberman don’t understand that you don’t fight a guy who has a loaded .357 with a penknife. Go for it olberman.
Suggest we all send Keith a message a day containing dirt on Glenn Beck. Let's shut down their email system!

Keith,
I have it from someone in a position to know that Glenn Beck is a raging numismatist with tendencies to philatelism. That should disgust any responsible person.
I hope you will devote at least as much air to this as you did the Van Jones story.
Your viewers -- both of them -- would probably find it highly informative.
Dick Bachert An increasingly DISGUSTED GE shareholder. Have Immelt look it up until the OTHER shareholders send him -- and you -- packing!
We’ve got Beck’s back. Boycott GE. Go after Olbermann.
If true, we could film it and sell it on pay per view and make a lot of money.
How about digging up dirt on Immelt and other management at GE. They would probably be more sensitive to having their lives laid open on the internet.
I NEVER watch msnbc except to get sponsors I want to boycott, so tonite I will flip over from Fox to MSNBC momemtarily to see who is sponsoring Olberdork so I will know which corporations’ products I will not be purchasing.
Always holds tru for GE, tho they are so diversified, may be hard to make much impact on them. Suffice it to say we buy no GE appliances or lightbulbs :(
I think he is looking for ratings.
Exactly. I was going to ask Keithy if this was really the hill he wanted to die on, but then I thought, with his ratings who would notice?
