Seventy Four: Olberman the Entertainer

In the bad old days when my personal and professional habits were, shall we say, undisciplined, I would often watch Jimmy Swagert, the Gonzo evangelist, for entertainment. There was absolutely nothing believable about him, and I always wondered about the people in Swagert's audience (I later learned they all became Clinton voters). Since Jimmy's fall from grace, I have missed the occasional viewing of a pseudo-intellectual/actual idiot, until I discovered Olberman.

When I first saw the KO show, I thought it was a rerun. Then I realized that a full seven months after BO won the election, KO is still obsessed with what he perceives to be some kind of Bush political conspiracy foisted upon the American public which can never be undone. KO seems to be a rather harmless idiot, unless you count the advertising sponsors as victims, but they should know better.
