MEDIA LOSER: Keith Olbermann
Left-wing commentator Keith Olbermann was dragged online Wednesday after he reacted to a photo of Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) with his very large family by suggesting the men in the image should get vasectomies. Wednesday morning, Olbermann posted a screenshot of a Christmas Day tweet from the senator. On Dec. 25, Romney quoted a Bible verse and shared a photo of his immediate family, which consists of approximately three dozen people. Romney and his wife Ann Romney have five sons, twenty-four grandchildren, and even one great-grandchild. Romney had written, âFrom my family to yours, Merry Christmas!â Olbermann, four days later, seized upon the opportunity to attack the Romney family for having what he asserted were too many children. The former ESPN anchor tweeted, âSomebody gift these people some vasectomies.â Others nailed Olbermann for the contemptuous comment by defending children, while Ben Domenech of The Federalist called the former MSNBC host a âLonely childless Boomer.â Olbermann later retweeted one comment on his thread, which read, âMitt Romney â 5 children and 52 years of marriage vs. Keith Olbermann â never married and no children. I think we know who the better man is.â The user had also written, âThis is the sort of callousness we can expect from a childless, miserable, wretched man like Keith Olbermann. Making fun of a man for having a large and thriving family is pathetic.â Olbermann commented, âThanks for the compliment!â The classless tweet and his childish replies are typical of the frequently fired negative feedback junkie. |
