Should Keith Olbermann lay off of his really poor voice imitations?
Keith has long been a favorite of the Liberal-biased majority here at Videosift. His voice imitations of such right-wing luminaries as Limbaugh, Beck and Papa O'Reilly are a frequent part of his editorial pieces, and many feel that not only do they suck, but they obscure the quality and diminish the importance of what is actually being said.
What do you think?

Mmmmm, Swiss Chalet... so good.
Soooo annoying!
"many feel that not only do they suck, but they obscure the quality and diminish the importance of what is actually being said."
I am one of those many.
The "Worst Person" segment isn't generally very light and humorous, since it's often featuring people in power who're making blatantly false or morally reprehensible (or both) statements, so it doesn't really lend itself to silly voices and yucks.
I like Keith, and I like his show, but I would dump the voices.
Keep hitting the wingers where it hurts, but the voices are distracting.
There are many other avenues of humor to explore.
I, for one, love the convenience of getting my fix of Olberman and Sesame Street simultaneously.
I miss St. Hubert here in Ontario.
I chose "I'm a right-wing nutjob who thinks Olbermann should just drop dead" not because I'm a right-wing nutjob, but I don't think following fox's dirty "news" tactics of slanderous speech is going to prove anything other than the fact that both righ-wing nutjobs and bleeding-heart liberals are gullible news sluts getting off on the cock of those that cater to their most-likely under-educated and over-simplified opinions.
Hell yes, and I'll have the chicken on a kaiser, please.
How does Swiss Chalet figure into this?
I'm not crazy about the voices, but to be fair to K.O. he started the show using the voices, and to change now would be letting 'them' win.
Where's the "lol wut" option?
Can someone politely email this to him?
