The "Comeback" of Keith Olbermann

Keith Olbermann is back, he's mad as Hell, and he's not taking it any more. The former ESPN-turned MSNBC-turned ESPN talking head is now doing his shtick on YouTube in front of a backdrop of Manhattan and the Empire State Building. Instead of making fun of athletes who drop passes or muff ground balls, Olbermann is attacking his favorite targets-Republican presidents. In today's rant, Keith is taking the announcement of the indictment of a bunch of crazies in Michigan who were allegedly plotting to kidnap the crazy governor-all the while linking it back to Trump and his "maggot" followers, including William Barr, Mike Pence, and even Amy Coney Barrett, all of whom must be "prosecuted, convicted, and removed from society". All fun aside, the arrogant liberal has literally burned his bridges every place he has worked. This basement version of Oliver Cromwell is now reduced to making videos from, well, his basement. Instead of competing against Fox News, he is competing with folks like Mark Dice, who is infinitely funnier, smarter, and more popular. I will close with a few questions to Olbermann: For what crime do you want to "prosecute, convict and remove from society" people like Mike Pence, Rudy Giuliani, Kyle Rittenhouse, and Amy Coney Barrett? As you well know, Rittenhouse (and only Rittenhouse) is facing charges. Are you, Mr Olbermann, prejudging his guilt? Is that what journalists are supposed to do? Especially curious is your choice of Ms Barrett. What has she done to be prosecuted for? Keith Olbermann was born way too late. He would have been great covering the French Revolution. Anyway, enjoy the video.
