But yeah, it did seem like the Olbermann Watch version of what Keith is like, which is why I didn't find it funny. It had almost no ground in reality, which is what it would have had to be funny.

If they had set it up that way, it could have been better. For example, their "3 a.m. phone call" in which Obama is president but doesn't know what the hell to do and calls Hillary, nervous and smoking up a storm, while she is the soul of calm, was obviously meant to be a parody of how Hillary felt Obama would behave under such circumstances. It had no grounds in the reality of what we've seen from Obama, but it was funny because it was supposed to be HER depiction of how he would react. (Interestingly enough, a lot of DU'ers didn't find THAT funny because they thought it was an unrealistic portrayal of Obama. Yes, but that was the point.)
