Sickening Piece in Today's NY Post on Olbermann

[Bleacher Creature]

June 2, 2008 -- PROFESSIONAL angry person Keith Olbermann favors tax-and-spend liberals, but he didn't pay his own taxes. OlbermannWatch.com reports that New York state has issued a tax warrant or judgment against the MSNBC host for $2,269.50 in back taxes owed by his personal corporation, Olbermann Broadcasting Empire Inc. Asked about the delinquency the other night by journalist Evan Gahr, the otherwise loquacious Olbermann uttered nary a word as he scurried into :hide: :hide: :hide:, according to public records. "This was a bookkeeping disagreement between Keith's accountants and the state which was resolved months ago," an MSNBC spokesman told Page Six. Gahr was surprised to see Olbermann on foot. "Is the belt-tightening so severe at NBC that the peacock network can't afford a car to take Olbermann home?" he wondered. "If so, there's a bright side for Olbermann: Nobody can call him a limousine liberal."

1. Lots of people get in trouble for not paying back taxes

I dont know why the NYP thinks Keith is so special because of it.

2. Well, it is the NY Post.

But this "journalist" rags on Olbermann because he's walking? You've got be kidding me. Of course, if a car pulled up and dropped him off at home, she'd rag on him for that too.

3. You have to love how they use "$2,269.50" to make the figure look larger.

This is a quibble over two thousand bucks, it's not even remotely newsworthy.

4. Especially because he probably makes seven figures.

Is that the best they can do?

5. Of course the story is stupid. It's an excuse to publish his HOME ADDRESS
