Keith Olbermann And Michael Moore Slam Democrats: “Where Is The Leadership?”

Keith Olbermann noted on Countdown tonight that “this is the day health care reform began to take effect.” He then quickly added the Democrats celebrated the enactment of the bill today by saying…nothing. It’s safe to say he wasn’t thrilled by this…and (surprise!) it’s even safer to say his guest Michael Moore isn’t enamored of Democrats currently, either.

So Olbermann and Moore took their turns taking shots at Democrats for being spineless (and some shots at Republicans for good measure), with Olbermann asking, “Where is the leadership?” and Moore saying, “We look ridiculous.” Moore even, in a sly bit of cross-promotion, said the day so discouraged him that he rather watch NBC’s Thursday night comedy lineup.

Sure, they slammed Republicans too, but who would have guessed the issue so uniting Keith Olbermann and Michael Moore would be their disgust with Democrats? Video of the fairly amusing segment below.
