Olbermann: Captured Taliban Leader Should Get Show On Fox News

February 17th, 2010 2:08 AM

Keith Olbermann Tuesday said the newly-captured top military commander of the Taliban in Afghanistan should be given his own show on Fox News.

In his Worst Person in the World segment on Tuesday's "Countdown," the MSNBCer went after Fox's Glenn Beck for statements he made about Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar on that morning's "Fox & Friends":

If I were in charge, we'd be interrogating him. And we'd interrogate him, and interrogate him, and interrogate him and then we'd shoot him in the head. ... Shoot him in the head before we all of a sudden release him into, what? Primary schools in New York City? What are we going to do with this guy? 

Olbermann's answer? "Well, since it's worked with a lot of other people whose plans would destroy America, give him a show on Fox News" (video embedded below the fold with partial transcript):

Well, since it's worked with a lot of other people whose plans would destroy America, give him a show on Fox News. Glenn "He's Every Man at the Bar if Every Man Has Just Escaped From a Mental Health Facility" Beck, today's Worst Person in the World.  

How sickening.
