Keith Olbermann Slams Texas For Stupidity

“A mind may be a terrible thing to waste, but if you waste 15 million of them, apparently you get Texas.”

That was Keith Olbermann tonight, doing his best to collectively piss off the biggest state in the contiguous U.S. after a recent poll showed that 60 percent of those polled in the cowboy state believe that humans and dinosaurs existed at the same time, or weren’t sure.

We’re not really sure what Olbermann’s goal here is except to rile up a bunch of people…he even admits that he wishes there was a political association he could pin this on, but then goes on to spout numbers of Democrats versus Republicans who go to church.

Which is a little misleading…there’s no data saying that everyone who answered “stupidly” (i.e. not believing in evolution, or unsure) had strong religious beliefs one way or another.

A person could think old Keef Obeymann is gonna end up living in his mom’s basement permanently and have to have deliveries for everything. Maybe he already does; who knows. The guy must not get out much.

Correct, my fellow Texan. (I assume because of your screen name.)

As Mr. Limbaugh says, media people need to build and hold the largest audience possible. It appears that Mr. Olberman is not aware of the economics of commercial broadcasting.

No, no, no! God did intend for Texans to ski - He gave us Colorado!

Ducking now (especially since I’m in Colorado at the moment).

How does this guy keep his head when he works around the NFL? There are some BIG Conservatives amongst that group.

"Doesn’t drive because of a loss of depth perception caused by a head injury. In 1980, he hit his head on the top of a subway door while running into the waiting car.”

Keith Olbermann has a physically based mental disorder. I suspect it goes beyond difficulty coordinating eye motion or mentally integrating two visual images. This explains a lot.

It sometimes happens that people who have suffered brain trauma show unreasoned anger. I wonder whether Keith Olbermann has had a brain scan since his accident, and whether there was an injury to areas associated with emotional control.

You do realize, do you not, that when you put this idiot on FR, you give him three times the audience he can get on his own with his TV show.

53% of the vote elected a Kenyan Marxist to be president of the US.
Where the other 7% came from is a mystery.

It’s not just depth perception he has some trouble with.

I officially declare Olbermann banned from Texas.
