... and if you've got six minutes to listen to the most incredible melt you've ever seen or heard, yet, then here you go:

Or better yet view it through twitchy:

The guy has completely lost his mind.

FWIW I've met him before, briefly, and have known he's a total dick for years (I made the mistake of commenting on how cute Suzi Kobler was at the time and he went off - 10-15 years ago or so) but he's completely gone off the deep end obviously.

You're not going to believe some of the things he says in that video.

He's lost his god damn mind since the election, and hell even before. Really anything Trump says he acts like he just enacted the Holocaust. His melts are to such a point it's impossible to take anything he says seriously anymore.

He was too big of a hack for MSNBC. For MSNBC. That's how low he is.

Sounds like McCarthy and the red scare of the 50's. What a douche.

Ben Affleck performed a very good impersonation of Keith Olbermann where he compared his condo board's refusal to allow his pet cat in the building to the treachery and cruelty of Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia.

I want to carefully word this post at the risk of anyone coming away from reading it thinking I engaged in hyperbole because it is not:

I've seen many talking heads come and go on both sides for decades. Kieth Olbermann is the most snide, condescending, self important, off putting, arrogant, angry political commentator that has ever drawn a breath.

He comes across as such an intolerable a-hole that it is no great mystery why he has slowly gone down the funnel from the high tower of a top 2 or 3 ESPN guy down to some ranting lunatic on a self produced YouTube channel.

His ability to make my skin crawl is second only to a clown driving a rusty, white panel van.

I remember it being so funny that I had to post the transcript:


The letter was brief and to the point. "Dear Mr. Olbermann," it read. "The co-op board, having reviewed your request for an exception to its "No Pets" policy, in order to accommodate your cat --

[ image: Olbermann's cat ]

Miss Precious Perfect, regretfully concludes that, in consideration of the rights of other co-op residents, such an exception is not possible at this time. Sincerely Richard Lieberstein, Co-op President."

[ Olbermann turns his head to the left to face the next camera ]

And there it was. All perfectly legal.

[ image: Japanese-Americans boarding a bus ]

Like the 1942 internment of more than 100,000 Japanese American citizens.

[ image: Trail of Tears ]

Or the forced relocation of the Cherokee on the Trail of Tears.

[ image: drinking fountain with "Whites Only" sign ]

Or the monstrous injustice of our nation's Jim Crow laws. It was ALL perfectly legal!! AND!! EVERY BIT AS WRONG!!! If NOT!! Indeed, MORE SO!!

[ Olbermann turns his head to the right to face the next camera ]

Mr. Lieberstein!!

[ image: Mr. Lieberstein ]

You speak of considerations of the rights of others!! How DARE you, sir?! How DARE you?!

[ Olbermann turns his head again to the right to face the next camera ]

Where, sir, in any of this, were the rights of Miss Precious Perfect considered?

[ image: Miss Precious perfect ]

DAMN YOU, Mr. Lieberstein!!

[ image: Mr. Lieberstein ]

DAMN YOU TO HELL!!!

[ Olbermann turns a complete 360 in his chair to face right back to the same camera ]

No, Mr. Lieberstein -- your decision was based, not on consideration, but on FEAR!!!

[ image: Miss Precious Perfect ]

Fear of carpets STAINED!!! Of deliverymen CLAWED!!! Of kitty litter, boxes tipped over!! Of hairballs coughed up!!

[ Olbermann turns his head again to the right to face the next camera ]

We have seen this fear before: in Cambodia, under Pol Pot.

[ image: skulls and bones ]

In Russia, under Stalin.

[ image: Stalin ]

In Massachusetts, under Mitt Romney.

[ image: Mitt Romney ]

It is the FEAR, sir, and the TYRANNY of with which we DARE no longer PUT!! I pray thee, sir, let us have done with it!!

[ Olbermann leans back in his chair and cranes his neck to stare into a higher-placed camera ]

And what of the building's other residents?

[ image: the Donnellys ]

The Donnellys in 7A.

[ image: the Gaspens ]

The Gaspens in 4B.

[ image: gay guys ]

The gay guys in the garden apartment! Their silence is deafening. See they not that HORROR to which the Liebersteins have so willingly blinded themselves?

[ image: Miss Precious Perfect ]

This, sir, is a GENOCIDE! A FELINE genocide!

[ Olbermann turns his head again to the right to face the next camera ]

And, so, the verdict is rendered, there is no appeal. Miss Precious Perfect, my mother and I, shall find another apartment. For me, the financial damage is negligible. For Miss Precious Perfect, the psychological damage, incalculable!

[ image: Miss Precious Perfect perched on a small-sized toilet ]

Still, one imperative remains. Mr. Lieberstein, sir, if you yet retain any trace of HONOR, you must, at once, RESIGN as president of this co-op! INDEED, sir, justice and decency DEMANDS YOU SO TO DO!!!

This is amazing. Keith was a breath of fresh air during the reign of the neocons, but he's totally unhinged now. But the most important thing is, even if Trump is every bit as bad as Olbermann says, he is still preferable to Hillary who would sell us out to the highest bidder.
