MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann has labeled Rush Limbaugh as the “worst person is the world.”
Limbaugh, who is no stranger to controversy, recently made racially offensive comments about President Obama and Oprah on his radio show .
”[Obama] wouldn’t have been voted president if he weren’t black. Somebody asked me over the weekend ‘why does somebody earn a lot of money, have a lot of money.’ I said it’s because he’s black,” Limbaugh said.
Limbaugh continued his rant by slamming Oprah’s success.
”’It was Oprah.’ No it can’t be? Yes it is, there’s a lot of guilt out there, to show we’re not racist we’ll make this person wealthy and big and famous and so forth,” Limbaugh said.
