Mark Newgent has an excellent piece in today's Baltimore History Examiner that all Olbermann Watch readers need to take a few minutes to study.
The next time Olbermann invokes the memory of Edward R. Murrow. Remember this: Murrow’s impetus to take on Joseph McCarthy was the senator’s accusation that State Department official Laurence Duggan, a friend of Murrow, was a Soviet spy. Duggan’s father Stephen was Murrow’s mentor at the Institute for International Education in the 1930s. In the aftermath of the Alger Hiss case in 1948, Laurence Duggan jumped or was pushed out the window of his 16th floor office in Manhattan. Murrow vigorously defended Duggan’s integrity, turning him into a liberal martyr destroyed by “right-wing hate.” However, as the Venona decrypts reveal, Duggan was one of the most prodigious American spies for the Soviets. According to Soviet agent Boris Bazarov, Duggan had said that the only reason he stayed at his "hateful job in the State Department.. was the idea of being useful for our cause." Remember that the next time Olbermann ends one of his Special Comment screeds with, “good night and good luck.”
On his Daily Kos blog, Olbermann signs off with a quote from Churchill.
It's not enough that he malign a great journalist by claiming an affinity with him, the hyperbolic halfwit must insult a great statesman as well.
If Edward R. Moron wishes to be associated with a famous figure, he's going to have to settle for a fictional one. Howard Beale comes to mind. So does Screwtape...
Hey, Bob, there's footage of Keith's The View appearance on Jossip.
If there's anything that could make me feel sorry for Moai-head, it's his having to sit next to Joy (what a misnomer THAT is..).
Keith got the Koffee Klatch crosspatches all in a dither when he tells them he refuses to vote out of some "symbolic gesture".
Woooweee... do they get worked up on behalf of democracy... Midst all the righteous indignation none of them thinks of asking Olbermann how meaningful his nod to journalistic distance is when he's spent the year saying things like "Resign!" and "Mr. Bush, shut the hell up!".
You'd think Elizabeth could have at least pointed out that the real reason he can't get his posterior down to the polls is that he might have to rub elbows with everyday joes. Say... Joe the Plumber? :D
