Saturday Big Blue Smurf Blogging: What They Said
Posted by Jill | 5:59 PM
Today's honoree: Matt Taibbi, weighing in on the Olbermann foofarah.

We had a whole generation of journalists who sat by and did nothing while, for instance, George Bush led us into an idiotic war on a lie, plus thousands more who spent day after day collecting checks by covering Britney's hair and Tiger's text messages and other stupidities while the economy blew up and two bloody wars went on mostly unexamined... and it's Keith Olbermann who should "pay the price" for being unethical? Because, and let me get this straight, he donated money, privately, to politicians?
