Pitchforks and Torches: The Worst of the Worst, from Beck, Bill, and Bush to Palin and Other Posturing Republicans
In his particular wit and style, Keith Olbermann skewers politicians, celebrities, and people behaving badly every weeknight on MSNBC's increasingly popular Countdown with Keith Olbermann. This book starts right after President Obama's election and collects all of Olbermann's acclaimed "Special Comments," a few of his "Quick Comments," all but one of his feature "WTF," selections of "Bushed" and "Still Bushed," and, of course, a healthy dose of "The Worst Person in the World."
- Covers everything from gay marriage to Sarah Palin and the Bush legacy—plus Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, and, of course, Bill-O
- Olbermann is a frequent poster to the popular website DailyKos, where his audience has shown itself as fervid and highly supportive
- New from the New York Times bestselling author of The Worst Person of the World and Truth and Consequences
Showcasing Olbermann at his most controversial, outspoken, and entertaining, Pitchforks and Torches cuts to the truth in a world of lies.
