Olbermann bestows highest honor on "Boss" Limbaugh for crass DOMA comments

Keith Olbermann bestowed Countdown's highest honor, "Worst Person in the World", to former doll-addict Rush Limbaugh last night for Rush's eye-rollingly crass comments about the Defense of Marriage Act.

In the span of a minute, Rush manages to cram in comments such as "bi-sexers", "boys and girls ... and undecideds", and "you'll have to bend over and grab the ankles but don't worry, your time is coming ... so to speak". Of course he does it all in his own unique way, which means equal parts smarmy, snide, and sleazy.

Naturally, I would never stoop to Rush's level ... but if I wanted to, I would point out that he's probably just jealous. After all, he can't even see his ankles, let alone bend over and grab them.

    Ugh.

    Not surprising, considering the source. What disturbs me more is how I often I hear about Rush using the "bend over and grab the ankles" line. Seriously, it seems like he uses it in pretty much every context. Someone has an unhealthy fixation with the buttsecks if you ask me. Probably another homophobe just trying desperately to convince people he doesn't have any homoerotic fantasies of his own, nope none at all.

    Then again...

    I kind of like the term "bi-sexer".  I was getting bored with "bi-sexualist", there's something much more pro-active about being a bi-sexer.  Thanks Lardo, you just found me my new label!

    Or...

    ... we could call ourselves bi-sexy. ;D

    Worst Person award

    I'd disagree with Rush being the worst. At best he's a worthless piece of lard. The worst is Pat Robinson and his ilk. They try and spread hate under the name of religion. That's the worst thing. 

    Sorry Keith, but got to disagree with you this time.

    I like Keith in lots of

    I like Keith in lots of ways but I think the 'worst person in the world' is kinda childish, and not in a random jokey way like the end segment in Maddow's show (thought I don't like Kent much there either).. I only say this cus I like some jokes but I want someone with his views to be taken seriously.. and I love JOn Stewart and he made fun of how much MSNBC mention Rush LImbaugh and now I see what he means.. Esp. with the dancing head thing, it seems like an easy way for someone to discount Keith as childish and his opinion not valid which would be sad since I like his opinions..
