So, get this. Keith Olbermann, host of MSNBC's "Countdown," and one of the only sane voices left in the mainstream media, received a letter containing white powder. Anthrax? Baking Soda? It turned out to be just soap powder, but either way, if I were him, it might shake me up a bit, too. I mean, with the attached threatening letter an all.
And what's the media take on this?
Paula actually makes fun of him.
I mean, seriously. Sending Anthrax to someone in the mail is a terrorist act. Sending fake Anthrax is a terrorist act. Sending threatening letters is a violation of federal law. Ha ha! That sure is funny, right Paula? [More at Crooks and Liars]
I wonder if she'd laugh if she got a similar letter...
No, I'm not saying that anyone should send her a similar letter. No, I'm not saying that I'll send her a similar letter. I'm just wondering what would happen if the shoe was on the other foot.
Update: Keith talks about it on his show. Oh yeah, and by the way, Paula reported on this story, despite the fact that the FBI had asked that details not be reported on. Nice.
