On Tuesday night's edition of Countdown, Keith Olbermann exposes a series of insulting blunders that demonstrate the Right's tunnel vision towards the country's pain at the pump. Brace yourself for John McCain's murky understanding of the price of gas; his unveiling of a new private jet; and Bill Kristol's oily criteria for selecting a VP candidate. Thankfully, Olbermann calls on The Nation's Washington editor, Chris Hayes, to offer some sobering context for all the blinding buffoonery.
