I overuse the word "stupid" sometimes to describe behavior that lacks rationality, but Keith Olbermann really must be a stupid man. Beyond stupid. Moronic. Idiotic. Doltish. And that's on a good day.
Now, via Hot Air, I find out that he called Mary Katherine Ham the "worst person in the world" (gosh, that huuurts, doesn't it? I guess he thinks that's a good insult) for saying that
But, you know, I think he’s sort of a victim of the — or not a victim, but he’s getting used to the 24-hour news cycle. When he was president, he was not subjected to quite as much scrutiny, and I think he got a lot of passes, and now he’s mad he’s not getting them anymore.
Liarmann goes off on Ham, berating her for being young (the last refuge of the petty) and rants that because Clinton lied under oath, lied to the American people, and parsed language like a lawyer and was caught that he didn't get a pass on any number of other things he said and did. Hell, there are whole websites devoted to cataloging Clinton's lies. And yes, he did get a lot of passes on them.
It's tough being as dumb as Keith Olbermann. He can't even claim, like Stephen Colbert, that he's playing a character. Being dumb is Olbermann's character.
