Howard Fineman: Losing It?

Uh Oh! - Howard Fineman: Obama 'Comes From Nation Of Long-Distance Runners': "President Obama, who comes from a country of long-distance runners and was one,' Fineman said.

Sunday night, Fineman also compared Obama to the 'long distance runners of Kenya.'

Olbermann ended the segment by correcting and making light of Fineman's comment. 'You just said the President comes from a nation of long-distance runners; you mean he's descended from,' Olbermann said. 'Otherwise the headline is 'Fineman: Birther.' Howard Fineman, of MSNBC, Newsweek, and Birther Weekly.'"

That's like saying that Bush, descended from Germans, "comes from a nation of gassers and torturers.", so he knows how to go that extra step for victory.

I worry that Fineman may have inadvertently joined the "Moths That Can't Get Enough Flame" club.
