Democratic House candidate alleges that Keith Olbermann is working with P&G to defeat him

Last Thursday, ThinkProgress highlighted the racial comments of David Krikorian, a Democrat running for Congress in Ohio. Krikorian reportedly said his primary opponent, Surya Yalamanchili, can’t possible win “with a name like that.” The following night, MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann named Krikorian his “worst person in the world.” In an interview this weekend, Krikorian wildly asserted that a vast conspiracy of corporate and progressive forces are aligning against him:

KRIKORIAN: Keith Olbermann is a buffoon for not checking his sources, for not even bothering to check. But here’s one thing I will state for the record: Last night’s program was sponsored by Procter & Gamble’s Oil of Olay brand, which is the exact brand that Surya Yalamanchili worked for. So how did they cover that story last night? Because I’m sure that Keith Olbermann is not reading the Cincinnati press. So our folks think that the Oil of Olay brand people – Procter and Gamble in particular – were advancing their former employee. And that’s how it got in there. <…>

I think was reading from his script. So somehow that got put in there. And how did it get put in there? Well, look at the relationship between the story and the show’s sponsor. I think it’s pretty clear how it got in there.

After taking a shot at Olbermann, Krikorian next targeted progressive bloggers for reporting the story. “Some of these blogs are run by, you know, kids who still live in their mom’s basements,” Krikorian said. “I’m not too worried about what some of these goofballs have to say.” Watch it:

1. Gee, the President won over a nation

with a name like "Barack Hussein Obama".

As Patton Oswalt said, "We elected a Jamba Juice supplement with a dictator's middle name President--next up, Ginseng Hitler Beepollen!"

5. How come the nuttier you are the more you want to run for office

I see were the republicans in our good state of Minnesota have nominated a very very nutty person to run for governor. Not only does he want to have the legislature to vote on every single federal bill ever made, to be sure the Minnesota wants to follow it, he wants to do away with making employers furnish health insurance for it's employees. THE TEA BAGS AND PALIN ENDORSE HIM. Was there any doubt.
