Now that former TV personality Keith Olbermann doesn’t have a career to ruin anymore, he’s just letting it rip, as our own Caroline May reports:
Former MSNBC host and Current TV’s chief news officer Keith Olbermann tried to cover his tracks Thursday afternoon after implying on Twitter that he wished Planned Parenthood had prevented conservative pundit S.E. Cupp’s birth.
“On so many levels she’s a perfect demonstration of the necessity of the work Planned Parenthood does…” Olbermann posted.
Olbermann then backtracked a bit, from Total Jackass to 99% Jackass:
“@JonesNetIT I never mentioned abortion. I said her parents could have used counseling by PP rather than get the results they did,” Olbermann wrote, adding, ”@maggiefanelli no, I insinuated her parents would’ve helped the earth had they consulted PP for birth control.”
As tempting as it is to return fire, I’d like to state for the record that I’m glad Keith Olbermann wasn’t aborted. Somebody’s coat might have gotten wrinkled without that hanger.
