Where's that vitriol now Olbermann?

Can we put to rest any doubt at all that Keith Olbermann and MSNBC are complete hypocrites?

Oh, they scream at conservatives commentators who describe a politician as a "whore" and even put the word out there. But when it's an actual politician or his aide -- it has been reported the court transcriber attributed it to J.B. while leftist news organizations are falling in line with saying it was an aide -- calling her a whore, MSNBC has to beep it out of the story.

I doubt we'll hear Olbermann shouting down Jerry Brown over this... no, that would show principle. And Olbermann needs to take anger management courses before he'll show any of that.

(Hat tip to Big Journalism for catching this one.)

I, for one, am having a hard time believing that Jerry Brown himself didn't use the word. If you watch the video from the link above and listen to the audio recording you'll notice that the first time the word "whore" is used, the person's voice is higher pitched and has a little more of a nasal aspect.

But the voice is deeper the second time the word is used and sounds like it is coming from the same person who said, "I am going to use that."




There doesn't seem to be any question that it was Jerry Brown who said, "I am going to use that."

The fallout for this story hasn't even hit yet. But it will be interesting to see who gets in line. We already know that NOW has repeated the hypocritical stance it took with Bill Clinton and has quickly jumped to Brown's side after this.

The level of hypocrisy is simply stunning.
