Anchor, 'Countdown'

Every night at 8 p.m. on MSNBC, Keith Olbermann awards his daily pick for "Worst Person in the World." Some contenders are lucky — or unlucky —enough to be nominated more than once.

The bronze goes to Bill-O, again just a bronze.  How have the mighty fallen.  He told his radio audience that, "I don’t own an i-Pod.  I would never own an i-Pod.  If this is your primary focus in life, the machines, do you ever talk to these computer geeks, I mean, can you carry on a conversation with them?"

One of the services Bill sells on his merchandise website: O’Reilly downloads and podcasts. 

The runner-up: the guys running the Wal-Mart at West Bend, Wisconsin.  During the Play Station Three debacle last week they announced to the crowd of about 50 waiting outside the store that they only expected to have ten of the games available for sale, so they’d be putting ten chairs out in front and the ten people who sat down first would get to buy the games.  Several people were trampled and one guy had to go to the emergency room after he ran head first into a pole. 

But our winner Michael “Weiner” Savage. 

Last week he insisted the radical homosexual agenda will not stop until it subjugates the rest of the country. 

His latest remarks: "Who do you think controls what comes out of Hollywood?  I think the purple hand is all over Hollywood. 

He then predicts those remarks will wind up, "In several of the blogs run by gays and they think only of that because they’re like drug addicts. 

For God’s sakes Mike, will you just cut to the chase and come out of the closet?  Michael “Weiner” Savage, Monday's "Worst Person in the World."
