Olbermann reduced to grammar snark
Second "Worst Person" tonight was Mary Katherine Ham for typing "too" when she should have typed "two."

Love KO, but really, that's pretty weak. I'm pretty sure I could find something more objectionable by checking out Fox News or reading Townhall.com for two minutes.

2. He needs to begin looking at Dems for that award
There are more than enough seriously screwed up Democrats in Congress to feature one a day until he retires.

I want Keith to hold them accountable too.

5. Not very often, and yes I know he featured Obama one night
The point is, he could help undermine the Blue Dogs if he made it a habit to point out their illogical lack of support for most progressive issues.

The Republicans are too easy a target, and they really dont have sufficient numbers any longer to be more than an irritation.

6. What was weak was Ham's decision to report a very minor misstep made by Obama (went left instead of
right) as he walked to the podium in the Rose Garden. Her first oopsie was reporting this as "news"; her second oopsie was making a spelling gaffe as a professional writer -- a wordsmith, or linguist, who should know the difference between "too" & "two".
