Olbermann?
Gotta ask: what is up with MSNBC's Keith Olbermann obsession with the Ohio recount? He's all over it, all the time, every show.
Don't get me wrong: it wouldn't surprise me at all if we someday discovered some small-scale stealth fraud on the computerized machines. After all, the man who makes them pledged his allegiance to President Bush. But the election is over. Period.
Olbermann's cause would be better served by putting, say, George Lakoff on his show every night for a week. If he wants to obsess about something, obsess about the future. This isn't 2000, when our guy actually got more votes. Let's talk about how to get so many votes next time that it doesn't matter.
