| ||||
I agree with Stewart that Olbermann's early years were far less bitter and ridiculous. The "One thousand, one-hundred and thirteenth day since "Mission Accomplished in Iraq" bit, day after day, was very effective as well as an essential truth. Now, he's a clown. What a shame. He was one of the all-time greatest sports anchors, bringing wit and savvy analysis as one of the pioneering SportCenter crew.

I sincerely agree. The best part is when he comments that Brown failed to refute the guy who shouted "We should shove a curling iron up Martha Coakley's butt." I mean, you can't find a more obvious attempt to disparage a political figure than that wild, absurd stab. In my books, this is evidence of the increasing trend of people loving and catering to partisan polarization, even if it languishes in the ridiculous like this does.
I remember him on SportsCenter, actually. Good times.
I've only watched Olbermann once and I couldn't get a strong flavor for him, so I can't comment too much.
