I outgrew Keith Olbermann at fifteen. Like, dude was fucking smarmy as hell, and I thought it was great at first, and then I realized it was all kind of dumb, annoying, and lacking in any meaningful substance. Then, I tried reading Glen Beck's Clowns to the Left of Me, Wimps to the Right because I didn't yet understand the left-right spectrum or where I fit into that, nor that all of the political bestsellers at Wal-Mart were right wing slop; well I hated that shit enough that the communist manifesto was in my next three reads. I know this isn't Olbermann, but his spirit persists in this greasy vessel.

In 2017 (and 2018?) Olbermann had anti-Trump vids on GQ's Youtube channel. I thought they were comedy gold. I have no idea what I'd think of them now. Here's a classic one. Bill O'Reilly's Downfall (And Trump's, Too?) | The Resistance with Keith Olbermann. He begins by saying:

The firing of Bill O'Reilly was presidential impeachment by proxy...

At some point (Late 2017? Early 2018?) Olbermann's vids to a sudden halt. Trump's invincibility broke his brain. On social media he retreated from politics. All he posted was sports and rescue dog stuff. Eventually - he got back to politics. Trump's second presidency broke his brain even more. A week or so go he was ranting that he was pretty sure Stephen Miller was going to charged with contempt. I didn't watch the vid. I assumed it was going to be sad and pathetic but not funny.

I haven't watched the Bill O'Reilly vid in years. What the hell - I'll watch it right now.

I just looked up smarmy. It's a great word to define a lot of the public personas of covert abusers I've known. What a great word.

The worst part of Olbermann is that once Trump got elected in 2016, he started talking about how Bush was actually not bad compared to Trump and I just lost all respect for him.

I mean, I get it. I'd rather be stung by a wasp than mauled by a bear, but neither would be best. But I really always kind of had the impression that Olbermann's ideal leftist was probably Hillary Clinton.
