Wow! His hatred of Bush and McCain are satirized as is his massive ego. I can't believe he was actually happy with this portrayal when he crashed the set. It's pretty brutal. I doubt the lefties are going to be too thrilled that their media god has been sullied in this way.

We "lefties" (including Obermann) can laugh at ourselves. Hilarious!!!
Olbermann is the same to the Left as Rush and O'Reilly are to the Right. Even Olbermann admits it. Personally, he's not very liberal or even political. Like Limbaugh, Olbermann is an old sports reporter. The big difference is that Olbermann admits it publicly. Some people think another difference is that Olbermann is a lot smarter. I think it's true but not that important.
I thought the Olbermann skit was funny. They didn't go far enough.
Just amused that again, Michele thinks SNL has never gone after the left wing. I can only imagine she first saw the show sometime after January 2001, because the implication is beyond laughable.
Unlike RIGHTY CONS, we can jeer at our own. That's kinda why we have 100% of the lion's share of comedians worth their salt (not to mention virtually all worthwhile musicians, writers, artists, etc, while you guys have Ted Nugent, Ann Coulter, and... Larry the Cable Guy? But that's a little beside the point).
Keith gets at a lot of right wing crap that the "MSM" doesn't focus on. George Carlin liked him, and so do I. But yes, he's an over-the-top, easy liberal target, and yes, this bit is hilarious.
The key was that Ben Affleck -- himself a well-known leftie -- was the one skewering Olbermann. I roared at the skit (and was looking forward to it since I'd been tipped off to it midweek).
Of course righties like you hate Olbermann -- he's the first cable leftie to be as intense as O'Reilly and Hannity (and Limbaugh on radio), and more intelligent to boot. It's fine to oppose Olbermann's politics, but if you're going to hate him for being an "egomaniac," as your tagline indicates, you'd better "hate on" O'Reilly, Hannity and Limbaugh as well.
Fat chance (literally in Limbaugh's case) of that.
[queue palin wisconsin accent] ooh! dern that eevil liberal meedia!
