Melanie Morgan named "Worst Person" for attacks on VoteVets.org's Soltz
During the August 15 edition of MSNBC's Countdown, host Keith Olbermann named right-wing radio host Melanie Morgan the "winner" of his nightly "Worst Person in the World" segment for asserting that Jon Soltz, co-founder and chairman of VoteVets.org, violated military law by engaging in political activism while serving in the Army Reserve, as Media Matters for America documented. Olbermann stated that Morgan's claim "will come as something of a surprise to active reservist Lindsey Graham and active reservist Stephen Buyer." Olbermann continued: "Though, like Jon Soltz, they are in the reserves, they seem to be engaged in some politics. Reservist Graham is the Republican senator from South Carolina, and reservist Buyer is the Republican congressman from Indiana." Olbermann added: "And according to Melanie Morgan, they'd both better quit their offices before the reserves find out they're breaking the law. A law, of course, that exists only in the empty head of Melanie Morgan."
