    Joan Walsh is a sellout

    It's really that simple. She has to burnish her "reasonable liberal" credentials, and that means calling foul whenever anybody tells the truth, as Olbermann did.

    It's not about being "wimpy," it's about being willing to tell the truth even if it costs you some TV appearances.
