One Choice: Obama

     Keith Olbermann delivered the old one-two punch on his show tonight. First he showed video of Obama’s communications director, Robert Gibbs, feeding Sean “What a disgrace to Irish Americans” Hannity his own liver with fava beans and a nice chianti.
     What spurred the exchange was Hannity insinuating Obama was of the same “domestic terrorism” mindset as former Weather Underground member William Ayers because they’d served on the same board. Gibbs neatly reminded Hannity of the anti-Semite who’d been on his show over the past weekend and if he gave this man so much airtime, couldn’t it also be construed that he was an anti-Semite. En garde!
     Sheer f-in brilliance!!! As Olbermann noted, it was amazing to see someone break through Fox’s force field of jingoistic rhetoric.
     The second punch was delivered by a dear friend of Palin… Michael Palin. His fellow Monty Python alum John Cleese sent Olbermann a poem he penned in honor of Gibbs homage to Hannibal Lector. Here ’tis:

An Ode to Sean Hannity
By John Cleese
Aping urbanity, oozing with vanity
Plump as a manatee, faking humanity
Journalistic calamity, intellectual inanity
Fox Noise insanity, you’re a profanity
Hannity.”
