Affleck nails Olbermann, perfectly

Okay, a few more lighter pieces before returning to the serious political stuff. As any CMB reader knows, I'm a huge Keith Olbermann fan. But, even Olbermann can sometimes take things too far. He's offered up so much spot-on criticism of the Bush administration that we would not have otherwise heard in our mainstream media, he deserves a pass when his venom is a bit too much on a few selected nights.

Having said all that, his passion and bombastic outrage have made him ripe for a parody, and last night, Ben Affleck delivered. This was very, very funny.

I seriously doubt that Olbermann took this seriously. At least I hope he didn't; If anything, feeling the sting of an SNL parody gives one legitimacy and nothing more. Think about it - is anyone doing a parody of Glenn Beck these days? That's because he blows and few except the radicals on the hard right even pay attention to him.
