The Search for Someone Who Doesn't Hate Keith Olbermann
Posted by Dave Blount at January 15, 2008 10:18 AM
It isn't easy to find people who don't hate MSNBC's talking cockroach Keith Olbermann. In an interview with Playboy Magazine last fall, Olbie raved that "Fox News is worse than al Qaeda." Playboy readers probably don't slant far to the right; nonetheless they were disgusted, and let Olbermann have it with both barrels in their letters to the editor.
Feeling compelled to come up with a letter in support of Olbermann, Playboy editor Chip Rowe resorted to contacting the moonbatty fan site BloggingOlbermann.com. It's run by a woman named Becky, who agreed to write something nice about Olbie, using a pseudonym.
TVNewser quotes an industry insider:
The more glaring issue here is that Olbermann's Al Qaeda comment was so over the top that Playboy had to resort to asking one of his rabid fans to find one person to say something positive about him.
Olbermann's chances of ever appearing in the rearview mirror of his nemesis Bill O'Reilly are not looking good.
