They say you can judge a man by the company he keeps.
On Tuesday evening, CNN's Larry King told his audience that he loves MSNBC's Keith Olbermann.
During his interview with schlockumentarian Michael Moore, Larry's perilously liberal guest mentioned the name of the "Countdown" host.
King shamelessly responded, "I love Keith" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
LARRY KING, HOST: Right now, a historic moment in LARRY KING LIVE's 25-year history, another historic moment. We've had so many. And there will be many more. Michael Moore is about to call the winner of the "Find The Penalty" contest.
MICHAEL MOORE: That's correct. And another historic moment here. This is a contest that started last week on Keith Olbermann's show, but finishes here on LARRY KING.
KING: You have upgraded it.
MOORE: Yes.
KING: I love Keith. Go ahead.
MOORE: You guys are both great.
Honestly: what does it say about a so-called journalist that loves one of the most hateful, divisive, hyper-partisan individuals to ever have his own television program?
Yet King admits his adoration to a national audience with pride.
Liberal media bias? WHAT liberal media bias?
