Whew, that was a close one! Just imagine what it would have done to our opinion of him as a fair arbiter of the news if he had actually gone into the voting booth and cast a vote for Barack Obama. Now, we know he was the only commentator in the entire country to claim that Barack Obama didn’t go back on his word on public financing because he’s a lone, brave voice among the corporate media, and not because he’s a flagrant and often dishonest partisan whose very serious spectacles are there only to protect his mortal eyes from the cosmic sheen of Obama’s vibrant smile of unity. Glad we got that cleared up. Watch the ladies of “The View” yell at him (at the end of the clip) partly for fun and partly because the uncommon confluence of opinions among daytime’s most reliable disagree-ers suggests that the real path to national unity may be through hating Keith Olbermann, together. Bonus video of Ben Affleck’s “SNL” impression of Olbermann, which proved that the only thing that could bring him and me together is making fun of Olbermann.
