Keith Olbermann calls for Billy Long to resign for mocking the tornado alert system

Posted by Justin Kendall on Tue, Jun 7, 2011 at 11:08 AM

Last week, Countdown's Keith Olbermann called for U.S. Congressman Billy Long to "resign in shame" after mocking tornado warning systems and proposing selling off ham radio frequencies. Long's congressional district in Missouri includes Joplin, which was leveled by an EF5 tornado that a few weeks ago killed 141 people. Too soon, man. Too soon.

Olbermann, who is preparing for the debut of Countdown on Current TV, named Long runner-up in his competition for "Worst Person of the Day." Somehow Sarah Palin still won.

Got concerned there for a second, as I was remembering when Olberman was a legitimate, respected sporstcaster.

Thought maybe he was calling for former Chiefs strength coach Billy Long to resign! That was close...
