When I found out, last night, that Keith Olbermann had named my pal, Ed Morrissey, the Best Person in the World, my first reaction was “That goddam copycat!” I had just named Ed one of the best people in the world over the Twitter, not two days earlier. Kudos to KO, though, for assembling the weirdest 3-shot ever. Captain Ed, Stephen Hawking, and Steve Doocy?
My second was to contact Ed for some kind of pot-stirring comment, but he had beaten me to it, accepting the accolade with characteristic class:
I’m sure people would like me to be a jerk about this, but I’ll say thank you to Keith instead for the kind words. We’ll be arguing again tomorrow, and for the … rest of eternity, probably, but I’d prefer to return graciousness with graciousness.
That’s great, Ed. Way to generate the clicks.
All is not lost, however. Although Ed was debunking a conspiracy theory when he was elevated to Best Person, a careful examination of this still frame from the segment provides fodder for another:It’s made from Olbie! CAPTAIN ED IS MADE FROM OLBIEEEEEEE!”

O Fortuna,
Velut luna,
Statu variabilis…
Since Ed Morrissey credentials as a “true conservative” are suspect now due to this unfortunate incident, does that means that Mr. C. Will have to replace him as his “conservative friend”? If that the case, can I suggest this true conservative..?
Ed is irreplaceable, but there’s room in my heart for MKH.
