Ladies and gentlemen, Keith Olbermann… Bravo!


“With all due respect to my friends, Jon and Stephen, it seems to me that if you truly wanted to come down on the side of restoring sanity and reason, you’d side with the sane and the reasonable, and not try to pretend that the insanity is equally distributed in both parties. Keith Olbermann is right when he says he’s not the equivalent of Glenn Beck: one reports facts, the other one is very close to playing with his poop. 

And the big mistake of modern media has been this notion of balance for balance’s sake: that the left is just as violent and cruel as the right; that unions are just as powerful as corporations; that reverse racism is just as damaging as racism. There’s a difference between a mad man, and a madman.” - Bill Maher
