Good God, but Bathtub Boy* is bonkers.

On Twitter, GQ's Keith Olbermann posted his "passionate appeal" to
foreign spies to help him overthrow our duly elected president.

"I appeal to the intelligence agencies and the governments of _what
is left_ of the free world," Olby began dramatically.

To them as entities, entireties as bureaucracies making
official decisions, and to the individuals who make
decisions of conscience. To GCHQ and MI6 in the UK, to the
BND in Germany, the DGSE in France, the ASIS in Australia,
and even of the GRU in Russia, where they must already be
profoundly aware that they have not merely helped put an
amoral cynic in power here, but an uncontrollable one, whose
madness is genuine and whose usefulness—even to them—is at
an end.

To all of them, and to the world's journalists, I make this
plea: We the citizens of the United States of America are
the victims of a coup. We need your leaks, your information,
your intelligence, your recordings, your videos, your
conscience. The civilian government and the military of the
United States are no longer in the hands of the people, nor
in the control of any responsible individuals on whom you
can rely....

It goes on and on, but you get the picture. He's nuts.

To the intel agencies of the world: We need your help.

Yes, he even appealed to Russia's GRU—because when La Resistance is
not accusing Trump of committing treason by colluding with Russian
spies ... _they're openly advocating that we collude with Russian
spies_. Makes perfect sense.

You just begged foreign spies to help you overthrow the U.S.
government, you addled, emotionally unstable buffoon.

*One of my all-time favorite media stories: Fox News Radio's John
Gibson graced Keith Olbermann with the nickname "Bathtub Boy" to
mock his habit of refusing to show up to work at MSNBC in 1998 to
cover the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Gibson says he was the one who
had to fill in for Olby while the drama queen hid in his bathroom,
taking a bath.

Dems & the media want Trump to be more like Obama, but then he'd
have to audit liberals & wire tap reporters' phones.

Olbermann wasn't working for MSNBC in 1998. He was at Fox SportsNet
then. He didn't arrive at MSNBC until 2003.

I don't blame him. I blame the writer for putting it out there. She
picked up on the "bathtub boy" story -- something that's all over the
place -- without having verified it for herself.

The dates didn't seem right to me, so I looked up Olbermann's c.v.,
which puts him at Fox Sports in 1998. Now Gibson has actually said
that he would occasionally fill in for Olbermann at MSNBC. Gibson was
indeed at MSNBC as a daytime anchor during the Lewinsky scandal, but he
couldn't have been filling in for Olbermann. The "bathtub boy" story
just doesn't make any sense. That hasn't stopped anybody, though.
