Good God, but Bathtub Boy* is bonkers.
On Twitter, GQ's Keith Olbermann posted his "passionate appeal" to foreign spies to help him overthrow our duly elected president.
"I appeal to the intelligence agencies and the governments of what is left of the free world," Olby began dramatically.
To them as entities, entireties as bureaucracies making official decisions, and to the individuals who make decisions of conscience. To GCHQ and MI6 in the UK, to the BND in Germany, the DGSE in France, the ASIS in Australia, and even of the GRU in Russia, where they must already be profoundly aware that they have not merely helped put an amoral cynic in power here, but an uncontrollable one, whose madness is genuine and whose usefulness—even to them—is at an end. To all of them, and to the world's journalists, I make this plea: We the citizens of the United States of America are the victims of a coup. We need your leaks, your information, your intelligence, your recordings, your videos, your conscience. The civilian government and the military of the United States are no longer in the hands of the people, nor in the control of any responsible individuals on whom you can rely....
It goes on and on, but you get the picture. He's nuts.
He imagines he's "Citizen Z", alone in his arctic bunker.
Isn’t this called SEDITION?
Yes it is
Isn’t this called SEDITION?

My thought exactly. Why isn’t this idiot in prison?
I see he’s still willing to do anything to get the attention he’s so desperately starved for.
Traitor. I despised Obama and the wreck is made of the world, but in no way would I advocate overthrowing a president.
The left has gone over the line.
Is it not illegal to plot the demise of a president?
It should have been done in 2010 at the latest.
Keith should get the Nobel prize for Bassackwardness. His view of the world is always upside down and backwards from reality. A terrible case of rectalvisualitis.

One has to wonder when GQ will fire Olbermann.
Jail time or a weight lifting “accident”.
At what point does his advocacy become aid and comfort to the enemies of America?
As a propaganda effort, it’s up there with Lord Haw Haw, Axis Sally, and Tokio Rose.
Too many Reds entrenched in government since the 1930s..
Is what he said a crime?
Free speech and all that, of course.
I suppose he could say it was tongue-in-cheek, but is it legal to call for foreign governments to overthrow the legitimately elected government of the USA?
It probably is, but it has to be approaching some kind of line. Perhaps actually sending them money or information or tools with which to overthrow would be illegal.
I’m not a lawyer.
that is flat out, cut and dry, treason.
And I am not even kidding.
Wow, Mr. Olbermann., You use your mouth prettier than a $20 whore.
Never go full retard.
Unless you’re a Ctrl-Left liberal, in which case full retard is a starting point and the challenge is to out-do the others on the far left.
