Produktbeschreibung
New York Times bestselling author Keith Olbermann's best takes on the worst people Whether he's awarding a gold medal to the "Worst Person in the World," pleading for sanity and decency in one of his "Special Comments," or trying to make sense of some even-nuttier-than-usual right-wing outrage in a "WTF?" segment, Keith Olbermann is one of the strongest, toughest, and funniest progressive voices on television. In this irresistible new collection of memorable moments from MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann, he skewers the politicians, celebrities, and other ne'er-do-wells who made life in the United States far more difficult and contentious than it had to be during the first year of the Obama presidency. Olbermann weighs in on major topics such as health care reform, the Obama stimulus, gay marriage, and the war in Afghanistan. He corrects the misstatements, paranoid fantasies, and outright lies spread like manure by the likes of Limbaugh, Beck, O'Reilly, and the entire Republican congressional caucus. You'll laugh, cry, and get steamed up by his classic comments on everything from the Supreme Court's disastrous ruling on corporate campaign contributions and the passage of California's Proposition 8 making gay marriage illegal to Representative Joe Wilson's outrageous "You lie!" lie, and much, much more.
