Catching Keith: counting down Olbermann's errors dept

Last week, our friend Mr. Olbermann was trying to argue that Republicans tolerated sex-scandal-plagued pols like Larry Craig for far too long. And hey, no way, Keith doesn't think Democrats have done the same thing! Quote: "That sounds really nice and tough, Dana, invoking Ted Kennedy as he did tonight on “Hardball.” But isn‘t Mr. Delay skating past a fact that even Kennedy [in 1969, when Mary Jo Kopechne, a passenger in a car Mr. Kennedy was driving, died at Chappaquidick] went to the cops within 36 hours. "

Wow! Yes!! Such moral dynamism!! Senator Kennedy crashes his car, the woman riding with him dies in a watery grave, and it only took Mr. Kennedy 36 hours to go to the cops!!

Ugh. Think, Mr. Olbermann.
