I wonder if his recent drop in ratings and sanity had any impact on this piece of genius.

KEITH OLBERMANN, HOST: That`s next, but first tonight`s worst persons in the world. The bronze to Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee. You`ll remember, the record setter for longest monotone question to the president at their meeting. Her new debt solution? Allowing younger Americans to privatize their Social Security accounts, where they can get wiped out the next time the mortgage industry or some other form of legalized gambling wipes out another chunk of the economy. By the way, federal budget debt {?-sic} is a good thing in a recession. It`s not a bad thing. As a percentage of Gross Domestic Product, it`s about the same as it was in 1970 {??-ed}, as it is right now, far less than it was throughout the Reagan administration.

 

Sigh. I guess math and history were not in the curriculum at the Cornell Ag School.
