In fairness, Olbermann quits MSNBC

Imus is gone. He has been relegated to sifting through a number of offers that reportedly proffer more money and more exposure than he received when he was with MSNBC and CBS. So just several hours after race baiters got their scalp, lo – ho- and behold Imus has risen. And this event again proves the point that for celebrity, no exposure is bad exposure. Imus will apparently be back bigger than before. Ain’t America great?!

The congregationless Right Reverends Al and Jesse smell an opportunity. So with none of the Christian forgiveness displayed by the Rutgers women’s basketball team, who graciously accepted Imus’ apology, Al and Jesse march on - in perpetuity. In an apparent take over of the FCC, the Right Reverend Al has declared that he will decide what’s good for Americans to hear over the public airwaves.

Al’s ostensible target will be rap music and course movie language. Fine, and “frankly, Scarlet, I don’t give a damn.” That line, from Gone with the Wind, is the line Dad used to say opened the flood gates to all the Hollywood trash that has followed. Let’s get back to the 1940 something way of doing movies. Let the viewer fill in the blanks when a man and woman enter a room at night and the next scene is them fully dressed having coffee in the morning. The left’s second greatest thinker, Sean Penn, lampooned such movie as “unrealistic.” Bernie Goldberg responded to Penn, “Look, I use the bathroom several times a day to relieve myself. That’s realistic. But it doesn’t belong in a movie.”

But, whomever and whatever the left’s media target is today, tomorrow it’ll be Rush Limbaugh. I’d throw in the list of other right minded talkers, but the target is Rush Limbaugh. Mark it down. Cut it out and tape it to the refrigerator. The target is Rush Limbaugh. The left can’t stand this guy. He’s funny. Name one liberal who is funny. He’s smart. Name one on air liberal who’s smart. He’s popular. Name 10 liberal shows whose combined audience even approximates Rush’s. So the left will use the Imus controversy to resurrect the Fairness Doctrine – which is everything but – to get Rush.

Keith, anything right is wrong, Olbermann, whose little show will take weeks and weeks to achieve in audience what Limbaugh gets in an afternoon, let the cat out of the bag. While discussing Imus - on the very network that put up with Imus’ crass comments for 10 years – Olbermann asked the Right Reverend Jesse if Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and Bill O’Reilly ought to be the next targets. Jesse was smart enough not to take the bait. In a move that no doubt had Olbermann scratching his empty head, Jesse laid into MSNBC for being “all white, all night.”

So, I await Olbermann’s announcement that he is leaving MSNBC to make way for diversity. Keith is leaving to make way for Shelby Steele. Steele’s show will address race issues that continue to plague America. Way to go Keith, a man true to principle.
