Keith Olbermann Interviews A 'Clown' And A 'Witch' About Christine O'Donnell (VIDEO)

Olbermann

In one of the stranger takes on the continuing saga of Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell, Keith Olbermann invited a "clown" and a "witch" on Tuesday's "Countdown" to discuss the recent surge in clown-and-witch-related stories surrounding O'Donnell.

Olbermann started the segment by talking about O'Donnell's recent ad, which begins with the Republican assuring viewers, "I am not a witch." He then brought up the fact that O'Donnell's father, who was a professional clown, had been incorrectly identified as playing Bozo the Clown, when in fact he was only a fill-in.

To discuss these issues, Olbermann then brought on...a clown and a witch. Sort of. The clown and witch were played by comedian Angry Bob and Village Voice columnist Michael Musto, respectively. Both committed themselves to their roles, with "Bozo" expressing indignation about the incorrect statements regarding O'Donnell's father, and Musto the witch insisting that the candidate was lying about her lack of sorcery. Olbermann kept a mostly straight face throughout.

To all of you stuck with Fa.k.e News and the likes of Hannity/O'Reilly/Beck.

If your party didnt keep their heels on your neck you could maybe afford to get more than Basic Cable and watch something worth watching. But alas, you will once again vote against your own best interests and be stuck with the right wing propaganda machine.

This was very funny. The trolls are going nuts and proving once again they have no sense of humor. It must come from watching O'Reilly so much.

and he wonders why he cannot outdraw the O'Reily nightly reruns.

If it were not an absolute insult to the memory of three very funny men, a comment referencing the 3 Stooges would be appropriate.

Are you really? That's a good thing though. At least you won't have to eat any more Gas-X pills.

LMAO!!!
That was deep.

I tried watching this segment but sadly, I kept being reminded of how Keith used his father's illness and subsequent death to score debate points against those who disagreed with his political positions.

It made me weep.

Poor wingnutty trollz, all a'froth over Keith reporting the truth while using humor...as opposed to that 'fair and balanced network' that uses yellow-rag rhetoric to spread lies and ill-will to their duped, doped devotees - and there's NOTHING funny about that.
