Far be it for me to write Sommerby's punch lines for him

But, in addition to this Howler post, it should be noted that Olbermann claims to have quit so-called serious journalism once before because of his experience covering the Lewinsky scandal. Here's Olbermann's self-congratulatory bullshit take on that experience.

I also felt that it was trivial in terms of public dialogue, and a blatant misuse of public airwaves, and there was a sneaking suspicion in the back of my mind throughout 1998 that there were more important things that we should be discussing.

But I guess now that Olbermann gets to blatantly misuse the public airwaves with his relentless snickering at Carrie Prejan, he just thinks he's getting even or something.
