VIDEO: Keith Olbermann continues to give new meaning to the term “despicable jerk”

Just when you think this popular hero of the Nutroots couldn’t get any worse comes this:

Leave it to liberals to pile on Sen. John McCain with cheap shots about his age, and we’re not talking making jokes about him serving in the Civil War or what not. Mocking John McCain’s age, MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann imagined that the senator could easily segue from talking about foreign policy or the economy to talking about “buying more Depends or something like that.” (h/t Conservative Punk)

“You can dissassociate yourself from that remark if you wish,” Olbermann immediately added in his exchange with Rachel Maddow of the liberal Air America radio network.

Here’s the video:

Here’s a link to the transcript.

Bbbbbut he’s not trying to cater to the far left, oh no.

Unfortunately, this total loser will be sticking around MSNBC til at least 2011 (via Memeo).

Here’s an idea: How about sending KO some Depends he can stock up on, because if McCain wins this fall, Olbermann’s’s going to need at least a four-year supply. You can send them to this address:

Keith Olbermann
c/o MSNBC
30 Rockefeller Plaza
3rd Floor
New York, NY 10112

And while you’re at it, send an email to Countdown and nominate him as a “Worst Person in the World” candidate:
