Keith Trollbermann is at it again. Today, he went after Mitt Romney for — gasp! — his failure to get worked up over the NFL referee controversy. Can you believe it? The nerve! After all, President Obama has weighed in on the fiasco on multiple occasions. And earlier today, the Lightbringer was even credited with ending the lockout! Is there anything he can’t do?
Meanwhile, Mitt Romney, who, unlike Olbermann, was never axed from NFL coverage, hasn’t expressed much interest in the latest sports news. And, well, that just really sticks in Keith’s craw:

.@jagfan101 Bluntly, there is much more general interest in this country in the NFL than in Mitt Romney. His cluelessness is transcendent.

@mikemulligan13 Mitt claimed many of his friends own NFL teams. He's cornered on this one.

@MshakG Concur. But POTUS didn't say he had friends who owned nfl teams

@Allux66 agreed. But he didn't boast that many of his friends owned teams

One Twitter user had the temerity to call Olbermann out for his warped priorities:
@KeithOlbermann @samyoungman The country's future is at stake and you are thinking about football? By the way, how is the taste of sand?

Naturally, Keith responded with his trademark civility:
.@violinhunter Dear Moron:earlier this year Romney reminded us that several of his friends own NFL teams. HE made this relevant, no one else

Out: Reasoned debate. In: Foot-stomping. We always knew Keith was ahead of the curve.
So, what have we learned? While Obama’s too busy worrying about football to address important issues, Mitt Romney is too busy worrying about important issues to address football. Gee, Romney sure is a crappy leader, isn’t he?
