Olbermann again names O'Reilly 'worst person in the world" -- and "runner-up" to boot
In an OpEd piece a few weeks ago I went off on the dysfunctional sliminess of so-called journalists, and vented extra-special bile at General Electric subsidiary NBC. I excepted Keith Olbermann, calling him "a blogger who happens to have a TV show."
From the transcript of yesterday's "Worst Person in the World" segment, via MediaMatters:
OLBERMANN: Runner-up: Bill O'Reilly -- here we go again -- proudly reminded his audience that he, quote, "didn't put Abu Ghraib pictures on this broadcast. The only television journalist not to do so." Wait, wait -- you think you're a television journalist? But the winner: Yes, him again! On radio, getting hysterical about this anti-Christmas nonsense. He said he would get the, quote, "anti-Christian forces in this country" trying to "diminish and denigrate the holiday." Here's the good part: "I'm going to use all the power that I have on radio and television to bring horror into the world of people who are trying to do that." Bring horror, he said. Bill, just remember, to bring horror into this world, all you have to do is open your mouth. Bill O'Reilly, today's "Worst Person in the World."
I rest my case.

I was going to post a couple of days ago objecting to all of the cussing going on of late on this site. I think we are above that. We have enough words in our vocabularies to eliminate the naughy ones from usage.
I was going to do it by para-quoting the Stranger and The Dude in The Big Lebowski:
The Soder: It's a great blog. There's just one thing, Meme.
The Meme: And what's that?
The Soder: Do you have to use so many cuss words?
The Meme: What the fuck you talking about?
The Soder: Okay, Dude. Have it your way.
But there are rare times where cuss words are the most appropriate choice. Like now:
Bill O'Reilly is a fucktard.
I don't think it would be possible for there to be a more smacked ass,egomaniacl, sociopathic, fucktard with delusions of grangure then Loofah boy. My gawd, does his wife actually SLEEP with this slime after all he's done and said? All I can say is...where would Jesus shop?
