Keith Olbermann Takes On Ball of Crazy, Glenn Beck

Today on his radio show, liberal talker Thom Hartmann talked about why he doesn't talk much about Glenn Beck. He said that Beck revels in every utterance of his name in any context. Which is likely true, as it is about Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh. And yet, we liberals can't stop talking about them, usually with heavy doses of snark.

On the same radio station later in the day, Ron Reagan started his show with a soliloquy about Beck, as he often does. And it was very entertaining. But it didn't touch the bravura performance from this evening's Countdown with Keith Olbermann. It even left Rachel Maddow in hysterics. So, should we stop talking about these people? Do we really think they'd go away if we did?
