Every night at 8 p.m. on MSNBC, Keith Olbermann awards his daily pick for "Worst Person in the World." Some contenders are lucky -- or unlucky --enough to be nominated more than once.
The Bronze for Monday, Oct. 2 goes to Alex Petro, a chiropractor in St. Petersburg, Florida. He operated something called Doctor’s Urgent Care Walk-in Clinic.
He advertised that he did not ask a lot of questions of patients who wanted prescriptions for things like Valium, Vicodin, and Oxycontin. He’s under arrest now, and I’ll resist the 437 different Rush Limbaugh jokes submitted by the staff.
Our co-champs tonight are Bill-O, who explained the Mark Foley scandal to his room full of idiots, “There have been rumors about Foley’s homosexuality for years, it wasn’t an issue at all until now.”
And Matt Drudge, who described the victims in this case as “these 16 and 17-year-old beasts” and sarcastically called them “innocent” at least three times. “The kids,” he added, “Are trying to get this out of him. We haven’t got the whole story on this.”
No actually, you pinheads, we have. This isn’t about Foley being gay. It’s not about what the kids did. It’s about an adult, male or female straight or gay taking sexual advantage of children, and other adults protecting that adult. And now, in you two imbeciles, it’s two other adults trying to protect the political agenda at the expense of the child.
Bill O’Reilly and Matt Drudge are Monday's “Worst Persons in the World.”
