Daily Kos Tells Olbermann What Debate's 'Key Moment' Is, and Olbermann Obeys!Party Down with Katy Tur!It's not like we haven't seen this before. But this time it was so incredibly blatant that it raises the question: why have Olbermann on the air at all? Why not just let Markos Moulitsas be the guy who hosts Countdown and runs MSNBC?Markos "Screw 'Em" Moulitsas on Daily Kos, tonight at 11:23 pm: Quote Key debate moment:... Biden's emotion about his deceased wife and daughter was the tipping point in this debate - when he choked up, the focus dials went to the maximum.... This was clearly the most dramatic of the evening. What struck me was that Palin didn't seem to know Biden's family story. Anyone who knows what Biden has had to deal with raising his kids wouldn't have blithely made that comment.24 minutes later, the infamous, deplorable Keith Olbermann is in a commercial break. Coming out of the break, guess what? He has discovered a 'key debate moment' that somehow had eluded him completely for the first 47 minutes of the hour: QuoteOLBERMAHN: There was one moment in this debate which we have not yet discussed in our coverage here in its aftermath. It may have been ultimately the most connecting and most emotional certainly of the entire night...Wow. What a coincidence. But wait, have they racked up the video yet? No? OK, well luckily there are more commercials first. And when Oralmann comes back from the second block of commercials--mirable dictu!--he has the tape cued up and ready to roll: Quote OLBERMAHN: That which is visceral also often does not sink in to those who have watched a debate until it is long gone in the past, until the debate itself is long since finished. We may have seen that tonight.... When Senator Biden began in brief to talk about the tragedy that afflicted him and his late first wife when he was 29 years old. [Cue the videotape!]How long will (MS)NBC allow Edward R Olbermann to play a journalist on television, when in fact he is nothing more than Pinocchio to the Giupetto that is Daily Kos?

I've said it before, but it deserves repeating just because its so true... Olbermann is a TOOL! He should have stuck with the ESPN gig where his jackassedness (I believe I just invented a word) might have been mistaken for a sense of humor.Swoop
