FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19: On Day 1 of Pundit School, the first rule is: Don’t use breezy comparisons to Hitler, Nazis or the Holocaust to score political points. (The second rule: You do not talk about Pundit School.)

Let’s see if Olbermann learned his lesson. Here he is discussing the Justice Department’s release of a review of Bush administration lawyers who authorized controversial interrogation methods.

OLBERMANN: If you put this back into history and applied it directly to Nuremberg, the finding about the German judiciary system of the 1930s and ’40s would have been what?

GUEST JONATHAN TURLEY: Well, they could use this — if this report existed back in Nuremberg, it would have resulted in acquittals for all the people that we sentenced.

So, this Justice Department report is basically the same thing as letting Nazis roam free. “Countdown” is not known for its sense of proportion, but could this be a new low?

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 22: Today, Olbermann got mad at Glenn Beck, and also the sun rose in the east and the Pope continued to be Catholic. Beck’s shocking offense today: Charging a fee for tickets to events at which he will be featured as a speaker. As Olbermann put it, “Corrupt much?”

Olbermann himself is much more selective about where he lends his name, and he only does it for the noblest of causes. Take, for example, that time he made a series of TV commercials for Boston Market. That’s completely different! Beck is a corrupt charlatan. Olbermann is just an average American trying to make an honest living by broadcasting his passion for Boston Market Extreme Carvers ™ Chicken Cheesesteak. It came with a free drink!
