Keith Olbermann responds to Betsy McCaughey's challenge

By GottaLaff

Yesterday, I posted a video from Countdown in which Keith Olbermann called out Betsy McCaughey for playing fast and loose with the facts about some health provisions in the stimulus bill. Keith got Betsy Wetsy so lathered up that she dared him to "have the backbone (and the facts) to debate" her on his show. Keith responded:

"Like any other paid spokesperson trying to shill a product, she's welcome to buy commercial time on MSNBC (and I'll even make a call to the guys in advertising to see if they can find her a spot during a break in Countdown)."

Word to the wise: Don't mess with Keith. Especially if, as in this case, you're not even mentally or emotionally equipped enough to debate Keith's desk.
