Well… OK, most of the country knows that cow college grads (sayeth the state school grad) can be so biting. But if it’s true that Keith Olbermann called the President “Cal Worthington Obama” in response to the President’s gentler touch towards Wall Street in comparison to the auto industry* (via Hot Air Headlines), well. I will have to raise my opinion of Olbermann’s potential wit. Or at least the wit of his writers.
Anyway, Greg Pollowitz also included this video of Cal Worthington’s greatest hits:

Achance (Diary) Tuesday, March 31st at 2:51AM EST (link)and you got the full dose when I lived there in the ’70s and early ’80s. I escaped it for awhile when I moved to Juneau but now most of the stations are statewide so I get to hear “Go See Cal” anew. He’s really getting old now, though.
