Keith Olbermann: I can’t stand to live in a Trump building anymore
Washington Post ^ | March 8, 2016 | Keith Olbermann

Posted on 03/08/2016 2:59:30 PM PST by TroutStalker

Okay, Donnie, you win.

I’m moving out.

Not moving out of the country — not yet anyway. I’m merely moving out of one of New York’s many buildings slathered in equal portions with gratuitous gold and the name “Trump.” Nine largely happy years with an excellent staff and an excellent reputation (until recently, anyway) — but I’m out of here.

I’m getting out because of the degree to which the very name “Trump” has degraded the public discourse and the nation itself. I can’t hear, or see, or say that name any longer without spitting. Frankly, I’m running out of Trump spit.

And, yes, I’m fully aware that I’m blaming a guy with the historically unique fashion combination of a cheap baseball cap and Oompa Loompa makeup for coarsening politics even though, out of the two of us, I’m the one who has promulgated a “Worst Persons in the World” list for most of the past decade. That’s how vulgar this has all become. It’s worse even than Worst Persons.

This is the campaign of a PG-rated cartoon character running for president, interrupting a string of insults the rest of us abandoned in the seventh grade only long enough to resume a concurrent string of half-crazed boasts: We’re gonna start winning again! We’re gonna build an eleventy-billion-foot-high wall! We’re not gonna pay a lot for this muffler!

All this coarseness is largely masking the truth that the Trump campaign is entirely about coarseness. Take away the unmappable comb-over and the unstoppable mouth and the Freudian-rich debates about genitalia, and there is no Trump campaign. Donald Trump’s few forays into actual issues suggest he is startlingly unaware of how the presidency or even ordinary governance works.

Mullah Obama has already begun flying in his preset goal of 170,000 Islamic Muslim rapefugees! How many of these 170,000 will eventually beat, rape and murder our fellow Americans. How many of these 170,000 will arrive here - and eventually pull out machine guns on us.

If this clown objects to Trump, that fact constitutes one more reason to vote for Mr. Trump.

They put that a-hole on Fox Sports Mid West - The Cardinal channel. So far he’s behind the scenes. If that changes and he actually appears at Cardinal games, I’ll have to go back to the good old days of radio for the games.

Trump stole little Katy from him. Katy Tur would rather follow the Trump campaign than hang around big shot sports guy Olbermann.

If I were Trump I’d offer this turd a really high-paying job just so I’d have the pleasure of telling him YOU’RE FIRED!
