In last night's "Special Comment," Keith Olbermann all but ordered Sen. Barack Obama to change his position on the FISA bill (". . . this tortured, insane piece of legislation . . . handing corporations a get-out-of-jail-free card for approaching definitional fascism . . .") and vote against it:
That's Our Boy Keith, ain't it?
Thing is, last week (June 25, to be precise), Our Boy Keith and guest Jonathan Alter were giddily praising Obama for voting for the bill and 'standing up to the left.' To make it all even more amusing, this is the very same Keith Olbermann who previously called the FISA bill a 'shameless, breathless, literally textbook example of Fascism' back on January 31. So, I guess that means he was for it before he was against it, and against it before he was for it.
But, hey, he's consistent! |
