Watching MSNBC last night was a good deal of fun. Rachel Maddow lost her smirk and went glum all night, Chris Matthews babbled incoherently and engaged with some Democrat activist woman at the bar he broadcast from all night—and Keith Olbermann decided he wasn’t quite crazy enough of the election eve.
While Fox News played BOTH concession speeches in their entirety without comment, Olbermann broke into Brown’s victory speech with this rant:
OLBERMANN My God, he’s still talking! Senator-elect Brown is still giving his victory speech tonight in Boston. Howard Fineman will help me wrap it up — if he wraps it up — in a moment. First, the second of tonight’s “Quick Comments.” The tea baggers have elected their first guy tonight, and, thus, they will expecting legislation by tomorrow making it a death penalty offense to call them “tea baggers.”
And that wasn’t even the worst of it. Olbermann doubled down on his fraudulent accusations of the day before by repeating unfounded rumors and demanding that Brown disprove a negative:
OLBERMANN: I wanted to apologize for calling Senator-elect Scott Brown an “irresponsible, homophobic, racist, reactionary, ex-nude model, tea bagging, supporter of violence against women and against politicians with whom he disagrees.” I’m sorry, I left out the word “sexist.”
Later, Keith outdid himself in a simply amazing self-immolation on national TV– okay, MSNBC, but you know what I mean.
