Keith Olbermann

U.S. Sen. Barack Obama is covering all of his bases. He did his 30-minute network gigs last night, then headed over to the Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Today he sat down with Rachel Maddow, a self-avowed, liberal wonk who is redefining the so-called liberal media. Check out American Propsect's recent write-up of the Channel Changer and tune in to Maddow and Obama:

Huffington Post's Nico Pitney reports that MSNBC's Keith Olbermann has just released his "Worst People" list and U.S. Sen. Barack Obama has made the cut! Obama's sin? In a statement, the Illinois senator mentioned that he and wife Michelle were preparing to celebrate their 15th wedding anniversary. Not so fast, said Michelle. It's actually the 16th anniversary. While Barack may have won new votes from forgetful husbands everywhere, his misstep earned him a bronze on Olbermann's list.

Taking the silver is Sean Hannity, who took pundit Dick Morris to task for saying something intelligent about Obama's debate performance. Not much to elaborate on here.

And the Worst Person? No surprises here: it's Karl Rove. Seems like the Dark Prince is worried Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin may be overprepared -- you heard me right -- for the vice presidential debate this Thursday (an issue I pondered last night).

Rove says Palin is much better when she's talking "one-on-one" with average folks -- like she did when McCain announced her vice presidential status in Dayton and during her convention speech. As Olbermann points out, she was hardly speaking one-on-one, unless a teleprompter is the other "one."
