Dang! Thanks for the 411, Jay.

Since we’re on the topic, I will confess that I’m someone who honestly believes Olbermann is a terrible person (though hardly the worst person in the world — such people truly deserving of that title are mass murderers, etc). I also think most of the people who revere him as a new Edward R. Murrow or some such are both fools and hypocrites. He is not a serious news guy (unlike, say, Brit Hume) while he does personify all of the things his fans, including Olbermann himself (who, after all, is his own #1 fan) claim to hate about Fox News. You’re free to argue that Fox — America’s most trusted news source! — is evil because it’s partisan and all that. But then don’t hold up Olbermann as a model of how it’s supposed to be done.

Anyway, I think it would be interesting to catalog all of the Worst Person in the World winners and see what percentage of them the average person A) likes more and B) would be more likely to trust babysitting their kids. My hunch is that Olbermann would rate pretty low on both scores.

Hey, I just realized, for a second there, I forgot Olbermann is white. For what that’s worth.
