Olbermann: Rush, Robertson’s Lives not worth ‘lowest’ of Haiti’s Victims

Thanks to Raw Story:

MSNBC's Keith Olbermann pulled no punches in criticizing Rush Limbaugh and Pat Robertson over their eyebrow-raising comments in the wake of the devastating earthquake in Haiti, now estimated to have taken the lives of "hundreds of thousands" of people.

"Even the worst of us in this political mosh pit of the early 21st century can stop on occasion in grief and human sympathy and mourning, or just in self-preservation," Olbermann said on Countdown Wednesday night. "Not Rush Limbaugh, and not Pat Robertson."

Olbermann took Limbaugh to task for the radio host's comment earlier Wednesday that the Obama administration would benefit politically from the disaster in Haiti because they would "use this to burnish their ... credibility with the black community, in ... the both light-skinned and dark-skinned black community in this country. It's made to order for them."
