KEITH OLBERMANN APOLOGIZES FOR IMPLYING HILL SHOULD GET THE CRAP BEAT OUT OF HER

Hillary Clinton has faced a lot of misogyny. From giant phallic symbol Chris Matthews saying that Clinton had gotten where she was because her husband had "messed around,"to the countless idiotic articles focused on Hill's appearance.

But Keith Olbermann? How could he? Recently while he was discussing the election recently and implied that Hillary should have her ass kicked. Check it out:



Olbermann has apologized saying "It is a metaphor. I apologize: the generic "he" gender could imply something untoward. It should've been "only the other comes out - from a political point of view."

Some people wouldn't consider what he said misogony and in my opinion it does actually seem more like an unwise use of imagery. But for some people this brings up images of violence towards women and is unacceptable. What makes it more wrong though, is that in this race you have to be careful. Say that Olbermann had made the same statement about Obama: Al Sharpton would be knocking down his door.
