Olbermann's final campaign Special Comment

Geeze, I'm going to miss Keith Olbermann's Special Comments on the election - above is video of his last one. Of course, not to worry, though, because there's plenty of other things to get his dander up, including 77 more days of Bush rule before he rides off into the sunset and back to Texas to his faux ranch.

Anyway, earlier today, Olbermann pondered an interesting question - if Obama had made the same gaffes that McCain has made during the last three months, what would have happened?

Take it away, Keith:

We all know exactly what would be happening tonight if Senator Obama had made all those mistakes, contradictions, gaffes, Freudian slips, and hypocritical pronouncements. He would have long since ceased to be taken seriously by any measurable part of the voting public, as a viable, responsible, self-aware, mentally vigorous, non-dangerous, non-risk. We'd all be going home to our beds well before midnight tomorrow night.

But while all that is hypothetical, this is not: This cascade of incompetence and irresponsibility I have enumerated tonight -- all the sound bites, all the foot-in-mouth moments, all the no-brainers-gone-wrong - all these, John McCain has said. No hyperbole and no hypotheses are required.

This is who John McCain has showed us he is.

I can't say it much better than that. Obama would have been toast had he even come close to McCain's ineptness on the campaign trail, which illustrates the white privilege that's been so evident in this election.

How so?

Just imagine if Barack Obama (or even Joe Biden) had a family in the same situation as Sarah Palin - an unwed teenaged, pregnant daughter? If you're really being honest with yourself, it's not hard to envision that the media would have roasted the Obamas and raked them over the coals.
