Barack Obama’s personal ball washer, Keith Olbermann, gave us yet another glimpse into his enormous ego with another one of his scintillating, over-the-top ‘Special Comments’. This time he repeatedly screamed about Hillary saying the word “assassination” (Oh My God! The children! What will we tell the children?!?). He nearly blew an artery during his rant, as though she had somehow plotted to get rid of Obama herself. He even went as far as to say that she implied that ‘she was hanging around waiting for somebody to try something terrible’. He then went on with a list of things for which ‘we have forgiven’ Hillary (whomever the fuck ‘we’ is) including, but not limited to:
- Her insistence that there have been widespread calls for her to end her campaign when such calls had been few
- Her misspeaking about MLK’s relevance to the civil rights movement
- Her insisting Michigan’s vote would not count and then claiming those who would not count it aren’t democratic
- Her fawning over the fairness of Fox News while they were still calling her a murderer
- Her 3am phone call commercial
- Her husband’s disparaging comparison of the Obama candidacy to Jesse Jackson’s
- Her exploitation of the Jeremiah Wright issue
- Her exploitation of the William Ayers issue
I don’t even know where to start with this jackass. Olbermann’s inimitable arrogance in assuming it is up to him or anyone else to forgive Senator Clinton for anything is absolutely galling. The tone of his blustering, pontificating rant was unbelievably rude and disrespectful. He is, after all, speaking directly to a United States Senator. Perhaps someone should remind him that he’s an ESPN reject and a two-bit political hack. More importantly, someone should clue him in to the fact that he has become that which he deplores – Bill O’Reilly’s left-wing counterpart. His pathetic attempt to somehow convince people that he is on par with Edward R. Murrow would be offensive if it wasn’t so, well…sad.
Virtually every one of Hillary’s awful offenses that he listed is par for the course in a presidential campaign. Of course, Senator Clinton clearly didn’t get the memo that outlined the rules of campaigning against Senator Obama. Perhaps someone should send it to Senator McCain so there’s no confusion…
- The Senator is to be treated with kid gloves at all times
- The Senator is not to be mentioned unless he is a) being compared to JFK, RFK, MLK or Jesus Christ; b) being lauded for his inspirational qualities; or c) featured in a music video
- The Senator’s past associations are a distraction
- The Senator’s voting record is a distraction
- The Senator’s inexperience is a distraction
- The Senator’s wife is off limits
- The Senator and his campaign may use race at any time; however, his opponents are not to mention his race, their own race or the word ‘race’ - in fact, going forward, it will be referred to as a presidential ‘contest’ so as not to offend the Senator, his surrogates and/or his supporters; black coffee may no longer be ordered, NASCAR will hold ’sprints’ and runners will run ‘hurries’
- The Senator is not to be criticized in any advertising
- The Senator will not tolerate ‘Republican Playbook’ tactics unless he chooses to use them
- The Senator will determine how the super-delegates should vote (if they’re supporters of his, they should vote for him regardless of the way their district or state voted; if they’re supporters of his opponent, they should vote for whomever has the national delegate lead)
- The Senator and only the Senator will deem when it is appropriate for any candidate to appear on any network that doesn’t heart him
Please, super-delegates, in the name of all that is holy, jump over to Obama tomorrow morning. I don’t know what you’re waiting for. Please just end it now. Put us out of our misery. Please. We are sick to death of the crying, screaming, ranting, raving paranoia of the left-wing fringe lunatics. Please. Do it for the good of the Democratic Party. Do it for the good of the country. Do it for the children! Think of the children!

). I was thinking more in terms of ‘unaffiliated’, but I don’t remember that being an option on the voter registration form.
