Keith Olbermann shot back at Mediaite again for “parroting” the message of a Tea Party video that made Olbermann look, well, rather foolish. We earned bronze in a newly christened “Hall of Shame” segment, ostensibly for not rolling over to his previous claim that we were “gullible” for reporting the story. It reminds one of a once-great comedian who hasn’t updated his material in years, but is still content playing to a half-filled room. At some point it’s no longer funny. It’s just sorta sad.

Keith Olbermann called Mediaite “gullible” tonight for posting a video clip critical of his evaluation of the Tea Party movement‘s apparent lack of diversity. The low-budget video – made by the Dallas Tea Party movement – invited Olbermann to visit their coming convention, but more pointedly, criticized the MSNBC talent line-up for lacking their own diversity. Somehow pointing this out makes us gullible? Some people will believe anything.

You know, in hindsight, it is sort of stunning that no one has done anything like this sooner. Responding to recent criticisms made by Countdown host Keith Olbermann that the Tea Party movement effectively had no diversity amongst its ranks, the Dallas Tea Party organization has produced a remarkably effective video response. Not only does the video feature a number of men and women of color, but it also highlights the remarkable lack of diversity on MSNBC’s line-up. Judge not, lest ye be judged?
