Over the top or beneath his standards

I enjoy and respect Keith Olbermann for his unrelenting focus on idiocy and villainy, but his imitation of O'Reilly was far less convincing and funny than Steven Colbert's. Olbermann ended up sounding as childish and petty as O'Reilly, which doesn't speak truth to power, just gives it a Bronx cheer.

Too Damn Funny!!

Nothing to say besides what a (mostly) funny retort.

What a buffon

That was a very stupid segment.

May be Olbermann thinks he is funny, HE IS NOT.

He looks pretty ridiculous there.

Awful!
