Well, it’s safe to say that Keith Olbermann woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. . .
Here is the former MSNBC anchor trashing MSNBC for hiring Stephanie Ruhle to host the 11 p.m. slot as well as an attack on Joe Scarborough who he compared to German politician Franz Von Papen who is credited with the rise of Adolf Hitler:
What you are witnessing in real time is the neutralizing of MSNBC and a return to its previous failed emphasis on "balanced" news.
Plus, another hour of Franz Von Papen Scarborough, who desperately normalized Trump in 2015-16 by whoring himself out in a bid to become VP: https://t.co/9eMERSY2wn

A little later in the morning, Olbermann made a sex reference while commenting on a photo of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin dining with former NHL star and broadcaster Ron Duguay:
And you know who that is sitting with her, center of the picture, don't you @nyrangers fans?
(Computer! Enhance!)@SarahPalinUSA, out on a dinner date with Ex-Ranger player and broadcaster @RonDuguay10 🤦🏼♂️

And Olbermann also got angry at this pretty mild thread from law professor Jonathan Turley where he pointed out that President Joe Biden’s plan to “only consider a black woman for the next [SCOTUS] nomination” is “a threshold gender and race condition the Court itself has found unconstitutional for schools and unlawful for private businesses”:
Jen Psaki just reaffirmed that the President will only consider a black woman for the next nomination — a threshold gender and race condition that the Court itself has found unconstitutional for schools and unlawful for private businesses. https://t.co/uzc5jInAlg

…The Biden Administration has been found previously to have engaged in racial discrimination in federal programs. https://t.co/JxPpLoKMGQ However, fortunately for the President, Supreme Court nominations are not subject to the same constitutional scrutiny.

Olbermann responded by accusing Turley of being a “whore”:
Let me guess Jon. You would've opposed the 13th Amendment because it freed only BLACK slaves, right?
What a whore you've become. With what are they blackmailing you?

Eat a Snickers, Keith.
