Seems that Keith Olbermann is just content at being everyman’s Cpt. Queeg. After getting a prop-job by Rolling Stone, he can’t help but go after those who have, you now, what he doesn’t have - success. Referring to Glenn Beck - who has success AND an audience, Mr. Queeg spews:

“(he is) A wolf in sheep`s clothing. The very dangerously bigoted guy who is selling himself as a pragmatic philosopher. I don`t think he sees his own bigotry. There`s something about him that suggests that, one night, he`ll say something that will cost him his career in television.”

By the way “bigoted” is the leftist signal that they have lost the argument already. You see, the last time I looked it was Olbermann throwing up the Hitler salute.

This outburst prompted Glenn Beck from CNN on last nights show to quip:

“You know, let me be clear about something here. Keith Olbermann is right, at least on the last part. After 30 years in broadcasting, three hours of live radio content every day, plus one hour of TV a night, one comment could end my television career. It`s not a question of if, but of when.

Until the inevitable comes, I`ll continue to tell you what I believe. At the same time, I struggle to find the answers to the issues that we face on my own. We`ll talk about it. Yes, I am not perfect. If I were, I wouldn`t really bother to ask any questions.

I mean, I guess I could just stay out of trouble by asking clearly scripted questions to guests who won`t disagree, but that would kind of be planned and kind of a planned perfection that breeds arrogance that is far more dangerous than being a dope like me who says the wrong thing from time to time.

If I`m going to be shut down for that, well, it will likely be because of an intolerant ideologue like Keith Olbermann. The very idea smacks of the same McCarthyism Murrow fought so valiantly against.

Hey, Keith, you`re not saving the world`s democracy; you`re killing it, my friend, by trying to limit the marketplace of ideas to only those that reflect your own.

Me personally, I surround myself with varying points of view. My staff: blood shooting out of your eyes liberals, conservatives, men, women, minorities, and, you know, it`s weird, I don`t need a mailbox outside my office to communicate with them. Oops, did I say that?

When you make pronouncements as bold as, “The man who sees absolutes where all other men see nuances and shades of meaning is either a prophet or a quack,” you better be a prophet, man. You know, and frankly, Keith, nah, you`re not really a prophet. I`m just saying. “
