Keith Olbermann Mistaken for Jackass
Too perfect: Los Angeles Times' TV listings put the show "Jackass" in Keith Odormann's time slot. The understandable Freudian slip led to this erratum:
LA Times blogger Andrew Malcolm comments:
It's not the Worst Mistake in the World.
But without this kind of correction, online too, a few thousand people might have tuned into MSNBC, the Obama administration's favorite cable channel, expecting to see a "Jackass" show, and instead they'd have found Olbermann.
Worse, what if nobody noticed the difference?
No need to be insulting. Jackass viewers are far too sophisticated for the juvenile propaganda passed off as news by MSNBC.

Why insult the jackass with this reckless comparison?

Yeah that's animal cruelty comparing a useful pack animal with a useless DNC talking head.
Actually, it's cruel for BOTH political parties to have as their mascots such noble, self-sufficient, and useful four-legged friends as the donkey, the elephant, and even the rhinocerous (RINO).
What we need is more realistic representation of our current two-party system: something like Democratic Dung and 'publican Poo.

The LAT and Olberdork will be hearing from the Jackass's attorney shortly. He's pissed that he was compared to Olberdork.
