Wow. Keith's one of the more obvious phonies on TV today--displaying the most rehearsed, insincere "faux outrage" I've ever seen. Two important things everyone must learn: (1) just because they play a "progressive" on TV--or in a blog--doesn't mean they're genuinely progressive, and (2) the enemy of my enemy is NOT my friend. He's just an enemy who can use me right now. Wait, Keith Olbermann’s fans are accusing other people of “faux outrage??” Wow.

SHE IS a wacko. Keitho doesn't think before opening his mouth. I saw his show when he apologized using "She" or whatever. RR bashed the blue collars who voted for HRC as well I believe.

Tell that to every pregnant woman who is murdered by the father of her fetus. And explain why the number one cause of death in pregnant women in this country is murder. Always denounce racism and all it's ugliness. It is disgusting and disgraceful. But where is the same amount of disdain and outrage over sexism? It casts a far wider net and as Olbermann's repulsive remarks show, is considered acceptable. Ever wonder how the 24 year old girl that's sleeping with this cretin feels when she hears stuff like that? Or doesn't she care so long as she gets her ego boost from screwing a celebrity? I was fighting for woman's rights when my daughter was born in 1965. We are still fighting them 43 years later and things haven't gotten much better. I have 7 granddaughters and am so sad that we are not giving them a world substantially better than the one we gave my daughter 43 years ago. The sad truth is that as ugly as the men that are misogynists, there are too many women that will not fight for their rights if they think it makes them unpopular or unappealing to the very men that denigrate them. Too bad there aren't as many women interested in improving their brains as are interested in getting breast implants. Women outnumber men. If we stood together we could stop much of the ugliness against women. There's the catch; if we stood together.
