O'Reilly should get a 100 yard restraining order against Olbermann. JD, you are a lawyer. Would a court give Bill a restraining order based on Olby's obsessive rants and attacks?

I think that would be a long shot. But what fun it would be during discovery proceedings!

The Cheap Shot King calling the kettle black...

This is a guy, who as Bloggermann, wrote an entry on his MSNBC site, saying it's likely Lance Armstrong takes stereroids.

How would Olbermann know? Armstrong made some promises to some union workers that Keith claims he did not keep.

An interesting question (I hope, otherwise I wouldn't be posting it) is the "Dog that didn't bark" one.

Viz., have any of the liberal/left websites or blogs ever complained about Olberman being unfair to the left? Surely over the course of hundreds of shows covering thousands of issues, KO must have done or said something to engender a backlash from the left?

Or does this (near) silence from them tell us something more?

Johnny:

Just wanted to let you know I really enjoy reading your "synopses" every night. You have quite a knack for dissecting these shows with such precision. Keep up the nice work!!

Thanks, Jim. I know what a cliche it is, but I have to say: it's a dirty job, but someone's got to do it.

Johnny,

Olbermann's not capable of grasping your point.

He lives in a world of "us vs them" and all is fair in love and war. With strict ideologues like Olbermann, it's all war all the time.

You're talking to a guy who didn't think Geraldo Rivera rated an apology over a false accusation in the NYT, for god's sake.

You're talking to guy who thinks it's "low" for political party denizens like Scott McClelland and Karl Rove to take shots at opposition party members, but it's okey dokey for the anchor of a "news show" to snark, aim shots, and exhibit utter distain towards one particular side.

You're a real live genius, Johnny, but I'm afraid you're tilting at windmills here. And what's more, there's nothing that will get Olbermann more tingly than claiming that he's the target of "extremists" (everyone who thinks he's an out-of-control jerk).

Just shaking my head and wondering if anyone else really tracks the depths and details of KO's shows.

I can't watch it anymore.

Nice to see that you are tracking it. Hey, I may begin watching small bits again just to compare notes.

Sad. I know how you Repubs love Ann Coulter's humor -- the bitch is such a stitch. Poisoning a supreme court judge -- Laugh until I thought I'd cry. And, oh my gosh, folksy prez is a hoot. Love killin' them Iraqis, what did he call them -- oh yeah, just collateral, 30,000 civilians or more. Well, they were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. And remember how he joked about executing that lyin' reborn again Christian with Alberto. So funny. I couldn't stop laughing. And besides war in Iraq, and maybe a new one in Iran -- oh happy days -- what could be funnier than having the NSA listen in to your jokes while talkin' on the phone? Scott is such a hoot! Still wiping the tears away. Seriously.

Jill,

We've already seen "Girl Interrupted".

Get a life.

The American Empire is dead. All it has left to offer its citizens is fear. Fear won the 2004 election and every initiative since then. It's sad to see American conservatives in their current fetal position.

and as Governor Tarkin reminds us, "Fear will keep the local systems in line."

Get a life. No fear.

See gang? Ann Coulter's a bitch, and fear is running rampant. Therefore, it's perfectly all right for Keith Olbermann to lie on national television about Bill O'Reilly. That almost sounds like OlbyLogic.

Just because Ann Coulter is a smart business woman doesn't mean she is a bitch. There were Ann Coulters in Nazi Germany who made a lot of money selling books to spineless backwards-ass Germans, too.

Will whoever has forced Obi-Wan and Jill into Olbermann Watch and is holding them hostage, please let them go home now.

Don't worry Cecelia, the bar will be making last call shortly. I hope they don't bother the taxi driver too much on the way home. But really I like having them around. It's sort of a comic relief thing.

Olbywatch has a habit of getting past tinfoil hats and causing great injury in the "reality based" community.

Wow! All the liberal techniques are on display!

"There were Ann Coulters in Nazi Germany"

"The American Empire is dead. All it has left to offer its citizens is fear."

"Love killin' them Iraqis, what did he call them -- oh yeah, just collateral"

"And besides war in Iraq, and maybe a new one in Iran -- oh happy days"

"what could be funnier than having the NSA listen in to your jokes while talkin' on the phone?"

I'll tell you what is funnier than the NSA. YOU AR JILL! Obi-Wan is just pathetic.

Yes, actually. Anytime he says anything vaguely negative about the Democratic Party (a comment was made last Friday about the Democrats lacking cohesion), he is railed against on democraticunderground.com.

Salome,

I went over to DU and looked around and couldn't find the thread you mentioned.

Would you mind posting the link? It sounds hilarious!
