In Fox's long running series of ambushing people, they now sent lightweight talker Ken Pittman of New Bedford, Ma. along with O'Reilly crony Griff Jenkins. Pittman, apparently offended by Janeane's comments on Keith Olbermann following the Tea Parties, called for a protest at a comedy show. The funny part is, after palling around with Fox and contacting the Boston Herald, nobody showed up. Further, Pittman had no knowledge of heading up a protest. He contacted authorities after the fact, did not pull a permit for the park near the venue, and clearly could not rally his 20 listeners.The saddest part of all this, as Marc Maron pointed out, is this guy just wants in with the likes of Beck,Hannity, Cavuto and O'Reilly so bad, he is willing to let little Janeane embarrass him on TV . Janeane's comments did offend some, however, she was right, many of the "Teabaggers" were racially motivated, and shortsighted. The Keith Olbermann clip can be seen here.
Still, the funniest part of all of this is that Pittman and his sidekick Phil don't recognize how pathetic their attempt was. Sam Seder, Marc Maron, who are dear friends and colleagues of Janeane's took Ken to task on the air and unsurprisingly he failed to give a decent explanation to Sam's "ambush". Getting owned outside Starbucks, on his show, and at his site apparently rattled him, as his sidekick took over. Also, I was blocked from commenting on his site.
Here are both videos.
