How soon they forget.

Blogs across the left are cheering former Boston Market pitchman and sportscaster Keith Olbermann for his anti-Hillary jeremiad. But would you believe he's being more than a little hypocritical on this point?

As everyone knows by now, Hillary Clinton discussed the assassination of RFK as a reason for her to stay in the Democratic race. Smooth move, Hills.

But leave it to MSNBC's Ron Burgundy Olbermann to react in a comically over-the-top fashion.

Nothing like a steaming bowl of righteous indignation to start the morning. (Eats like a meal and sticks with you all day!)

However.

Just one month ago, Olbermann referred to the assassination... of Hillary.

On Olbermann's April 24, 2008, program, guest Howard Fineman was discussing the delegate math with Our Hero, stating, "some adults somewhere in the Democratic party to step in and stop this thing, like a referee in a fight that could go on for thirty rounds. Those are the super, super, super delegates who are going to have to decide this."

To which Olbermann replied, "Right. Somebody who can take her into a room and only he comes out."

Let's roll the tape.



So, to Mr. Olbermann. Sir, at long last, let me offer a Special Comment of my own:

    I totally agree with this and sent an email to Keith and Steve Capus about this hypocrisy. However, you have it wrong as well. She did NOT use the assassination as a reason to stay in the race - she said he was still campaigning in June when he was assassinated. Pretty big difference. KO is a arrogant, pompous and dangerously stupid man. I am trying to find his sponsors and that is how I came upon this web site.
