A BAD REVIEW FOR KEITH OLBERMANN: ?Not his ugliest performance ever ? not even his ugliest with r?

A BAD REVIEW FOR KEITH OLBERMANN: “Not his ugliest performance ever ? not even his ugliest with respect to Miss Cali ? but possibly his most gutless. . . . What this segment really is, although Somerby doesn?t say so, is Olby?s version of a Two Minutes Hate.” Except dragged out for seven. . . . Much more from Bob Somerby. “Olbermann?s a woman-trasher?a genuine nut on this matter. And no, we hate to break the news: He doesn?t do ‘progressive’ television. He seems to do work designed to capture the eyeballs of well-meaning young liberals. And for some ungodly reason, he does television which has long been devoted to the ridicule of women?s brains and bodies. . . . Where are the progressives? Oh, we forgot! They?re dragging their knuckles and sucking their thumbs, watching a 50-year-old nutcase get his eternal jollies. And drive his rating among the demo, putting millions of bucks in his pants. In this world, Barry doesn?t exist. You see, Barry is both black and male, and Keith doesn?t plan to enter such realms. For years, he has pimped you trash about women?s dumbness, while progressives have sat there and stared.”
