<p>On the June 6 edition of MSNBC&#39;s <i>Countdown</i>, host Keith Olbermann honored Lee
Rodgers, co-host of KSFO&#39;s <i>The Lee Rodgers
&amp; Melanie Morgan Program</i>, with the "bronze" in his
"Worst Person in the World" segment for asserting on KSFO the
previous night that, "in those spike-heeled boots of hers,"
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice " looks like the hostess at an S&amp;M
parlor," as <i>Media Matters for America</i>
<a href="http://mediamatters.org/items/200706050005?f=h_latest">documented</a>.
On <i>Countdown</i>, Olbermann quoted
Rodgers -- who, Olbermann said, is "best known as the flunky for the infamous
San Francisco
right-wing water carrier Melanie Morgan" -- and concluded, "[A] right-wing host is trashing a
right-wing secretary of State." </p>

<p>From the June 6 edition of MSNBC&#39;s <i>Countdown with Keith Olbermann</i>:</p><blockquote>

<p>OLBERMANN: First, time for <i>Countdown&#39;s</i> latest list of nominees
for Worst Person in the World: <b>the bronze to
Lee Rodgers, best known as the flunky for the infamous San Francisco right-wing water carrier
Melanie Morgan. You want to know who the far right is next throwing under the bus?
Simply identify whom Mr. Rodgers was talking about when he said, quote,
"the woman has morphed into Madeleine Halfbright, and in those
spike-heeled boots of hers, she looks like the hostess at an S&amp;M
parlor."</b> </p>

<p>

<b>Correct:
Condoleezza Rice -- a right-wing host is trashing a right-wing secretary of
State</b>.</p></blockquote><table width="100%" style="background: #e8e8e8;
