Keith Olbermann then: Evil Dick Cheney heads a secret, unconstitutional assassination team Keith Olbermann now: How ‘bout those cool Navy Seal assassins

You could fit all of Current TV's viewers in an average NBA arena. With room to spare.

Just a couple years ago, Keith Olbermann feared a constitutional crisis. He called JSOC “shocking”, “egregious” and “terrifying to the nature of democracy”. He said newly-elected President Obama should shut down the evil Bush-Cheney assassination apparatus.

But now, according to a new video posted on Olbermann’s website, it looks as if hyperbolic host has gained a new appreciation for professional assassins. As long as they report to a liberal Democrat, that is.

Barack Obama got Osama Bin Laden. And every other political calculation, every strategy that suggests Democratic weakness or liberal uncertainty is … as dead as Bin Laden.

There’s certainly one liberal uncertainty that’s no longer uncertain – Olbermann is just as big a putz off the air as he was on the air.

  • Story aside, does anyone know if Olberman and Maddow have had their final surgery to permanently switch their genitals? I've had this congratulations card sitting on my desk for a while....I need to get it out.

  • Anyone expecting coherence and integrity from an empty suit like Olbermann is in for a sad awakening. He's just another Democrat wardheeler, peddling whatever the day's party line might be.

  • Olberman's website is almost enough to make me sorry Al Gore invented the internet.

  • Ugh, is anyone even listening to this spray-tan in a suit anymore? He just proved he isnt a reliable source of journalism.

  • Guess that makes him a chicken hawk. He abhorred military action before he embraced it.
    Nah, it's just plain hypocritical posturing. Any decisions are good when Demonrats make them and bad when it's Republicans.

  • I have a super secret mission for this super secret unconstitutional assassination squad but that's a secret...no more KO though!

  • Flipped faster than a mobster caught up in a federal sting. Keith appears to be a fish out of water. Flopping from one side to the other.

  • OMFG

    Can we please, PLEASE ignore Olberdouche this time? I guarantee he's got nothin' new.

  • I'm not so sure we should be calling Olbermann 'hyperbolic'. I'm thinking that his career is more of a parabolic thing, or, given his current ratings situation, even a "flat-line flat-earther'.
