Speaking of huge, bloviating megadouches, Ben Affleck hosted SNL this weekend, and one of the sketches featured Affleck doing Keith Olbermann, keying into his penchant for what I'll understatedly refer to as insufferable hyperbole. Leaving aside that he tended to drift into an almost British accent at times, he had Olbermann's mannerisms and speech patterns down pretty well.
Just the other day, Iain and I saw KO name Sarah Palin his "Worst Person in the World!" just because she didn't realize that people in Pittsburgh weren't generally Phillies fans. He's truly lost the plot.
