The Election that Keeps on Giving: Olbermann Out :)

The worst person in the world gets the boot. Uber undashtupper, Keith Olbermann, has been thrown out on his pathetic rump. Bwahahhahahahaha.

I must say that I have been lauded as Olberwomann's worst person of the world more than once.

In a statement to Politico before the suspension was announced, Olbermann defended the contributions:

"One week ago, on the night of Thursday October 28 2010, after a discussion with a friend about the state of politics in Arizona, I donated $2,400 each to the re-election campaigns of Democratic Representatives Raul Grijalva and Gabrielle Giffords," he said in the statement. "I also donated the same amount to the campaign of Democratic Senatorial candidate...
