Tuesday night on Meltdown—er, Countdown, Keith Olbermann and Lawrence O'Donnell pretended to ponder seriously Jimmy Carter's racist slander on the South in particular, and anyone who is angry with President Obama in general.

So, by Wednesday, it was time to let 'er rip. But before he went on a rant, Keith had a contest to see who is the biggest waste of money– an anchor who gets about one dollar for every viewer he attracts, or a historically illiterate professor whose rantings costs students (or parents) about $1000 per credit hour.
