Yeah, Olbermann's acerbic and pompous. And he definitely is smart. Probably almost 60% as smart as he thinks he is. As for researched and thought out, I'm not so sure. I doubt his racial slur during MNF wasn't part of his script. And making the guacamole comment about a Mexican American governor may have been funny to racists, but I don't think he meant to say it on the air. Now I'm pretty sure his Nazi salute while he holds up the Bill O'Reilly mask is intended. I'd put that in the same category as Coulters idiotic comments and schtick.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
