Olbermann Lobs Softballs At Hapless Alvin Greene; Imagine If He Was Republican

June 10th, 2010 10:42 PM

The man that surprisingly won Tuesday's Democrat primary for senator in South Carolina was interviewed by Keith Olbermann Thursday, and a more hapless candidate might never before have appeared on the national stage.

Despite Alvin Greene's stumbling, seemingly unaware persona, the "Countdown" host never seriously grilled him about anything concerning how he could possibly have won this primary without holding any campaign functions, distributing any campaign signs or literature, or creating a website.

As you watch this tremendously uncomfortable interview, imagine how Greene would have been treated by Olbermann if he was a Republican (video follows with commentary, h/t Right Scoop):

Wow!

Is that what MSNBC considers journalism? 

Nice job, Keith. Your hero Edward R. Murrow would be so proud!
