Two For The Price Of One

Keith Olbermann gave us the enjoyment of a double smack-down last week, taking on two of the best known scumbags he could possibly pick. First he awarded Fox News talking head Bill O'Reilly a "bronze" medal for defending Republican presidential candidate Tommy Thompson's statement in a speech to the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism that "earning money" is "sort of part of the Jewish tradition." Olbermann explained O'Rielly's remark justifying Thompson's statement saying "Bill-O has now explained there was no insult, nor stereotyping there by Mr. Thompson. He was basically giving the crowd a compliment and saying, 'You're good businesspeople.' " He then awarded Rush Limbaugh his "Worst person in the world" award for claiming that the perpetrator of the April 16 shootings at Virginia Tech was a "liberal", saying "This guy had to be a liberal. You start railing against the rich, and all this other -- this guy is a liberal. He was turned into a liberal somewhere along the line. So it's a liberal that committed this act." As usual, Keith nails it dead on.
