Did Olby attack them:

Sen. John Kerry: “More than a century ago,” the Democratic candidate told a rally in Seattle, “Teddy Roosevelt defined American leadership in foreign policy. He said America should `walk softly and carry a big stick.’”

Bill Clinton, campaigning for president in 1992, told a cheering audience: “Teddy Roosevelt once said that we should walk softly and carry a big stick. Today I want to talk softly and carry Ohio.”

President Gerald Ford’s comment in 1981 about reacting to the Soviet arms buildup: “The United States should walk softly and carry a big stick.”

New York Times Fact Check:
But he also, on two occasions, referred to his hero Teddy Roosevelt, citing his famous statement about the need to “speak softly and carry a big stick” — Roosevelt actually said “walk softly and carry a big stick.”

There is effectively nowhere on cable news for people who want to be spoken to like adults.

Upon the election of the Democrats, Mr. Olbermann stopped talking about stupidity in Washington (where stupidity continuously needs to be exposed) and started focusing full-time on stupidity at FOX News (where stupidity is self-evident and requires no comment).

Keith lost his independent viewers as soon as it became clear that he would be spending his time on poking FOX News instead of focusing on the early-blooming faults of the current administration. I was hoping he’d continue to expose big government failures in a bipartisan way, but silly me. Once that “big government” wasn’t Bush’s big government, he lost interest.

Bill O’ recently proved he could tangle Keith up in his idiotic games when the parent company exec’s had to be brought in to make the boys shake hands. As a result, Bill O’ won by default, dragging Mr. Olbermann unmistakably down into the dregs with the Sean Hannitys and Ed Schultzs of the world. I was naive for thinking any different, but that’s what the Bush administration did to people: we were looking to anyone willing to criticize the government at that point. For the time being, Olbermann’s pointed assaults on the Bush cronies were our mental salvation. Those days are gone.

No one needs Keith Olbermann to illustrate Glenn Beck’s idiocy. Those of us that used to watch Olbermann did so because we wanted to get AWAY from Bill O’Reilly-style chicanery. We stopped watching him when he effectively became Bill O’s left hand.
