Schooling Olbermann

I hope I never run afoul of the abidingly patient Anchoress. She’s decided that MS-NBC’s pet moron, Keith Olbermann, stepped well over the line of reason and took him to the woodshed. Here’s how the beating begins:

Keith Olbermann is increasingly reminding me of Vizzini the Sicilian in The Princess Bride, who declares every event he does not foresee as “inconceivable.”

In Olbermann’s case, he seems to be misusing (or misunderstanding) the meaning of the word “fascist.”

Shall we help him out with it?

It’s an easy one, sir. Last week, you apologized “without limit” (your words) to Mrs Clinton for one of your co-workers using the phrase “pimped out” in a manner insulting to the former First Family. You offered this seriously respectful apology because the Clintons made a fuss and Mrs. Clinton suggested she would no longer grace your network with her presence, and – oh boy – heaven help you all if she made it back into the White House.

It only gets better from there.

I have learned that my life is much happier if I give Olbermann no more thought than I give the average piece of lint. Actually, I think they operate on the same intellectual level which makes them worth ignoring. Tonight, I’m glad The Anchoress didn’t ignore him.

And you can’t go wrong with references to The Princess Bride.
