Why Keith Olbermann Is Failing

Flipping through the channels this evening, I happened onto Keith Olbermann in media res. He was doing his “Worst Person in the World” list. Number 3 was just a dumbed-down rehash of a TPM item about Tea Party Express spokesman Mark Williams.

Let’s Walk Back That Daffy Lame Duck Talk

by Smitty (h/t Insty) This post is prompted by Sense of Events: “Is Obama a lame duck already?” It’s far too early to start writing anything triumphal about the lameness of the POTUS.
