KO owns Noonan on ABC This Week

with George Snuffyupagus.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/22/keith-olbermann-this-week-roundtable_n_1443731.html

(snip)

Olbermann mostly spoke only when asked a question by host George Stephanopoulos. The only exception was his objection to Peggy Noonan's suggestion that Mitch Daniels and Rob Portman, who both have business backgrounds, would be good vice-presidential picks.

"Do -- do you really want a second businessman on that ticket, though, in light of the -- if it's not a majority view, it's a very large view right now that business has never been viewed less favorably in this country since they ran Jay Gould out of town," Olbermann said.

Noonan answered that a lot of voters associate business people with job creation. "What about running a government?" Olbermann asked.

KO had a facial expression while Noonan was talking that was priceless. It was a thing of beauty. IMHO.
