Who Said It? Olbermann Not Really Liberal, Just Anti-Bush

Eric Alterman's book What Liberal Media? really set off a competition on the loony left to see who could more energetically deny obvious reality. Check this out:

I'll just add, for the hundredth time, that Keith Olbermann's expressed "liberalism" is almost entirely limited to a dislike and distrust of the Bush administration, a view shared by 70% of the public, and a concern for civil liberties and executive power abuse. On top of that he has a somewhat liberal "sensibility," but his show covers little of the broader "liberal agenda." But he makes Tom Brokaw uncomfortable so, you know.

Who said it? That would be blogger Duncan Black at Eschaton. What an Es-cartoon.
