Track-A-’Crat: The Roll Call of Democratic Delinquency

Joining a category already densely populated by America, white people (and their pets), gun-owners, pro-lifers, anti-governmenters, those not dependent upon government largesse, anyone associated with any bank/financial institution (except for OneUnited Bank in Boston, of course) and tragically unaborted zygotes, fetuses and babies.

Expectations are never high for any conversation between Keith Olbermann and Howard Fineman, but they surpassed themselves with their most recent bout of deranged navel-gazing.  MSNBC continues to pretend that these two offer insightful analysis, but they could be replaced with the human sewage of Jersey Shore and the intelligence of the discourse wouldn’t suffer one bit.

Who does MSNBC thinks watches this drivel?  If I wanted to see two people doing nothing but stroking each other’s ego while simultaneously trying to be the most militant Leftie, then I’d just put on the Barry channel and place a mirror in front of the television.

Taa-daa!

At least that way we’d both be pleased, as I could mock Barry’s constant platitudes and personal anecdotes, while he speaks to the only audience that he cares about: himself.

Here’s the keyboard-mashingly stupid text of the Olbermann-Fineman debacle (and here’s the vid):

OLBERMANN: The Republicans and the Tea Partiers will tell you what happens tonight with Scott Brown tonight, whether he wins or comes close, is a repudiation of Obama policies, and surely one of Obama’s policies from the viewpoint of his opponents is that it’s okay to have this sea change in American history, to have an African-American President. Is this vote to any degree just a euphemism the way state’s rights was in the 60s?

FINEMAN: Wow, that is a good question.

Note to Fineman: you’re not 10-years old, so don’t start any reply, ever, with the word “wow”, douchebag.  And that really, especially should not be your response when the question was (a) grammatically incorrect, (b) contorted enough so that any (potential) meaning was wrung out of it and (c) just plain stupid.

Pulling out all the stops, Fineman then announced that:

FINEMAN: Maybe not in Massachusetts, but maybe in some places, there are codes, there are images, ah, you know, there are pickup trucks, uh, you could say there was a racial aspect to it one way or another.

OLBERMANN: What were the Scott Brown ads, though?  Every one of the Scott Brown ads had him in a pickup truck.

FINEMAN: That’s why I mentioned pickup trucks.  I mean, my mind goes back to Fred Thompson down in Tennessee.

There is possibly no statement in recorded history less intelligent than that.  Alcee Hastings provided the previous benchmark, with this indecipherable gibberish, but this trucks = racist crap is even worse.

Nothing is speeding the MSM towards its well-deserved death more quickly than its anchors.  Who needs enemies when you’ve got friends like these?

Witness, once more, the unfettered wisdom of Keith Olbermann:

In short, in Scott Brown we have an irresponsible, homophobic, racist, reactionary, ex-nude model tea-bagging supporter of violence against women and against politicians with whom he disagrees.

Think you forgot to mention Islamophobic there, Keith, though otherwise it’s a job well done for stringing together one slanderous remark after another.

How have I never seen him actually foaming at the mouth?  Guy’s as rabid as a junkyard dog, and twice as aggressive.

God doesn’t make mistakes (even Al Gore is more or less as he was meant to be), so why is Keith Olbermann here?  What good anything is possibly served by his existence?

Keith Olbermann, I’m going to ascribe the “Oh, God” comment to you based on past form (although Chris Matthews is almost as strong a contender).

Believe it or not, many conservatives have a soft spot for you, Keith, as you’re frequently a source of much humor.  Like your on-air spat with Chris Matthews (who else?) over which of you loved then Senator Obama the most.

Oh, oh, me, me!

Or your petulance against the outgoing president at the Obama inauguration.  Where did you learn to be so magnanimous, Keith? 

Cornell?
