“Those smart-ass policy wonks at MSNBC”

The July issue of GQ has a feature comparing and contrasting Our Mr. Olbermann with his election night tag team partner, Chris Matthews:

Righteous wrath and smugness are not an ideal combo, and Olbermann’s delight in being Keith Olbermann has long since transformed anything genuine in his indignation into performance art. I prefer his politics to O’Reilly’s, and unlike Bill he’s genuinely droll. But when it comes to vanity getting its rocks off by posturing as moral outrage, I don’t see much daylight between them. That one is a bully and the other a scold is just a stylistic distinction that suits their constituencies.

Another wag for which the once shiny novelty of Keith dissenting voice has worn thin. He goes on to crown Tweety as some sort of Adderall deprived clown prince of politics, which is much more interesting than the same old saws about KO being KO.
