Likewise here.

However, just about every right-wing slam against Maddow calls her a
"liberal lesbian" or something similar.

He did the usual meltdown, "found Jesus," and now everything's all
hunky-dory.

A viewer of Keith Olbermann's show found a 1994 skit from the show "Kids

"Communists," turns out to be dead-on Glenn Beck show prototype.
