For anyone who doesn’t watch Keith Olbermann, each night on his show, Keith picks the three “worst people in the world.” Last night, in what may be an unprecedented feat, the falafel fool himself hit the trifecta, being named the worse, worser, and worst person(s) in the world.
Billy was cited for being “this generation’s Joe McCarthy,” for compiling his own enemies list of those who have defamed him (“You call it defamation, Bill. We call it precise quotes from your show. “)
Big bad Billy took the runner-up prize with his quote on the Today show (as an aside, is anybody old enough to remember when the Today show was a news program?), “These pinheads running around going, ‘Get out of Iraq now,’ don’t know what they’re talking about. These are the same people before Hitler invaded in World War II that were saying, ‘Ah, he’s not such a bad guy.'”
And the winner of the Worst Person in the World? Well, put down that pipe and get my pipe up, because it’s none other than Bill O’Lielly for his anti-anti-Christmas crusade.
“The thing designed to stir up religious hatred and paranoia in this country? Guess what they’re selling over at the Fox News online store? The Fox News “Holiday” ornament! And the O’Reilly Factor “Holiday” ornament. Who is trying to change “Merry Christmas” into “Happy Holidays”? Bill O’Reilly, that’s who. Today’s worst person in the world!”
Crooks and Liars has the video.
Update: After Media Matters for America busted them for it, the Fox News online swag has been renamed “Christmas” ornaments, and references to “your holiday tree” now refer to “your Christmas tree.”
