Keith Olbermann Is A Pompous Ass

I don't often watch Keith Olbermann; actually, this little clip is probably the most my eyes have rested on his visage in years--since he left ESPN.

Just watch this video. Is this guy full of himself, or what?

Let's see---if he WERE fairly treating the subject--this is what we're left with. He's mad at a mandatory insurance requirement, without a 1) single payer plan 2) government option or 3) medicare buy-in. One of the FEW things in this entire mess that has a prayer of bringing premiums down for the vast majority of people who are already carrying insurance (deepening the risk pool by requiring healthy people who choose not to obtain coverage to do so), and Olbermann's ready to go to jail over it? Any one of the the three things left out would almost certainly RAISE premiums for people who already have insurance--but then again, as we've seen with "progressive" universal coverage is their real agenda; cost savings have little to do with it.

See my many previous comments about this hate mongoring fool.

I wouldn't even waste two words on him. He's just an ass.

Well we all know this guy is a chuckle-head. But I gotta tell you, right now I love him. He hates this P.O.S. bill as much as I do, but for different reasons. So if he can get his 30,000 emotionally disturbed viewers to call their Senator, it suits me all to hell.

he is no different than Beck and Rush -- just from the opposite extreme view... The right has been pushing their brand for years, its nice to see both sides getting into the action. Now to see them face off on the same stage -- I personally would love that!

Well he's different from Beck and Rush in one regard. He doesn't have the mainstream media breathing down his neck. When's the last time you saw Olbermann fact checked.

good point.... why doesn't fox call him on his mistakes? In fact I've never heard anyone call him out for lies.... why do you think that is? Could he be a loud mouth, honest zelot?
