Keith Olbermann's Latest Rant Is Either a Flip-Flop, Or a Flip-Flop Back to His Original Position

Noble public official forgiver Keith Olbermann delivered one of his Digg-bait "Special Comments" last night, except this time he wasn't devoting 10 minutes to assailing President Bush — he was extending an olive branch, and a "second chance to make a first impression," to Sen. Barack Obama, who suddenly decided to vote for FISA, the federal wiretapping-without-warrants law that the Bush administration has so long wanted on the books, as well as blanket immunity for the telecom industry who's been cooperating with officials who may or may not be violating Americans' Fourth Amendment.

Nevermind that Olbermann was championing Obama just last week for "refusing to cower even to the left on the subject of warrantless wiretapping" — signaling a flip-flop of his own, since Olbermann was championing Obama when he was anti-FISA back when this campaign started — and got thrown to the lions by Glenn Greenwald, who pointed out the discrepancies in Olbermann's logic. Video below.

    He'll say whatever it takes to support the man Barack…..one day it's one thing - the next day it's another. He's a tragic figure that has gone so far to the left that he jumped the shark a long time ago. It's amusing when he trashes other commentators as if he's the "Annointed One"….

    If that were the case you wouldn't have been so disliked by Tim Russert and Tom Brokaw you nutjob…..and by the way, try paying back some of those tax liens they keep putting on you.

    Olbermann needs to go after Howard Dean's job as head of the Democratic Party. He spews more hate filled dribble than Dean or McAuliffe combined.

    He is so far up Obama's rear end he can see what Barack had for breakfast.
