Last night lefty MSNBC "Countdown" anchor Keith Olbermann named Wal-Mart his "Worst Person in the World" for its treatment of a former employee.
Today Wal-Mart did not respond to the story.
Tonight Olbermann named Wal-Mart CEO Lee Scott his "Worst Person," and indicated that he would do so every single night until the company responds, presumably to his satisfaction.
With Olbermann, who has reminded us every night for almost five years how many days it's been since George Bush declared Mission Accomplished in Iraq, the threat might not be empty.
This'll be interesting to watch, for nuts like us.

I wish I could say I'm surprised.
My heart breaks for that family, and my utter contempt and disgust for the entire Wal-Mart organization is, unfortunately, once again confirmed.
I hate to be smug, but boy am I glad I don't (and never have) shop at Wal-Mart, because to support that type of organization with even one dollar of my money would be to validate their heinous behaviour.
Depressing way to end the week, but I'm glad you brought it to our attention David.

That does sound like they've hit a new low in wally world. But, hey, remember that they're going green - doesn't that mean all other sins are forgiven these days? Okay, maybe not so much, no...
Man, if only I'd applied for that Wal-Mart speechwriting job. "Speechwriter for the Worst Person in the World" sure would look catchy on a business card.
