Keith Olbermann: Elton John One of the Worst People In the World for Acknowledging Misogyny

Did everyone get together and decide it was piss off BDBlue day today? Because that's what it seems like.

The latest? Keith Olbermann declared Elton John one of his worst people in the world for saying that Hillary Clinton is trailing Obama

in part at least, because of prejudice against women. I never cease to be amazed at the misogynistic attitudes of some people in this country.

Yes, to even acknowledge the truckload of misogyny that's been heaped on Senator Clinton makes you a terrible person in Keith's world. Because even acknowledging it is a threat.

Not that Keith's comfort with misogyny is any surprise to longtime viewers.

I'm really enjoying that hour I used to spend watching his show every night.

you'll become a much happier person if you do the following, as I did,

- stop watching Olberman
- stop listening to AAR
- stop reading the Big Blogger Boyz

you'll be able to catch up on your reading, catch a few movies you missed.

When the primary is over, though, however it will end, we'll all need to sit down and brainstorm what we want Progressive Blogosphere 2.0 to be, and you'll need all your strength for that one! 2008 is going to be a VERY long year.

At this rate, I'll be in an isolation tank by June.

It's awesome. I am avoiding people that bug me with their Obama spewing, I don't listen to am radio and no tv news. Most of the blogs are gone. Changed all my book mark folders. It's sort of like a cleansing.

Random term

KAs

Acronym for Known Associates. Usage example:

Bud parked three blocks over, walked up to the squadroom. No Exley, every desk occupied: men talking into phones, taking notes. A giant bulletin boar-d all Nite Owl--paper six inches thick. Two women at a table, a switchboard behind them, a sign by their feet: "R&I/DMV Requests." Bud went over, talked over phone noise. "I'm on the Cathcart check, and I want all you can get me, known associates, the works. This clown was popped twice for statch rape. I want full details on the complainants, plus current addresses. He had three pimping rousts, no convictions, and I want you to check all the local city and county vice squads to see if he's got a file. If he does, I want names on the girls he was running. If you get names, get DOBs and run them back through R&I, DMV, City/County Parole, the Woman's Jail. "Details". You got it?"
