Hurrrraaaayyyy!!!! The fighting Dems got a get tough plan to help secure America!!!!! I can't wait till November's midterm elections. Dem Dem's are gonna rock the house.

Tonight's program was pretty lame all the way around. The Florida sun must be getting to KO, though....just imagine...a Democrat was named "worser" person in the world. What a guy! I tuned out for the first 30 minutes as soon as it was announced that John Dean would be on again. I am sorry that I made it through the second half as the high point was the very boring story about Louis, the angry cat. Maybe Louis should be put to work at the MSNBC studio though and he could perform some of his magic by shredding the Countdown script.

It's great that the Democrats finally have a strategy to combat terrorism approximately 1,640 days after September 11th, 2001. I can see how it took 39,360 hours to come up with a plan that says we should cut and run from Iraq as soon as we can and capture Bin Laden. That took the Democrat braintrust 2.36 million minutes to determine. No wonder Olbermann was so overwhelmed by the news. Is Harry "the brain" Reid still working on the Democrat relief plan for Hurricane Katrina and the Asian Tsunami as well?

The big cover-up Olby didn't address was "where was Keith Olbermann yesterday?" Why didn't he host his show? Was it a panic attack? Was it a bout of the "I would prefer not to's?" Was he at the Democrat strategy session that devised the miracle plan to catch Bin Laden in Pakistan by . . . by. . . hiring more special forces . . .er. . .uh. . . well, the details are still in the works.

All I know is, now that the Democrats have a piece of paper that says they will catch Bin Laden, I can sleep better at night. Thank you Keith Olbermann for your vigilance and enlightening show.

Important Announcement:

Only 40,000 hours until the Democrat Party unveils its plan to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons!

Of all the people I dislike in my business and my life is a RAT.The fact that "he is a friend of the show" makes John Dean even more disgusting. Olberman kneels at his grime alter and pimps him as some kind of legal expert.The only thing he is an expert in is changing colors as he seeks more money,

Maybe he's Olbermann's long lost Father!

Maybe he's Olbermann's long lost Father!

WOW! So for a democrat to even be mentioned in the WPITW he/she has to go as far as punching a policemen but that only takes them so far because clearly Rush Limbaugh telling a golf joke is much more severe.

I was wondering if anyone can give me an update on the investigation on going about Bill Frist, Tom Delay. I know Libby has already been indicted. There are also whispers of a new indictment in the -VERY- near future. I would say it was Rove, but its not. Rove has been singing like a bird on the first day of spring. I will restore honor back in the White House. Hell if this is honor I'll take a blow job any day. I also noticed nobody has brought up the fact that good old-- I don't know Jack Abramoff was sentenced to 6 years in the cooler. I guess they just forgot...Spaghetti legs has spoken

Olberman's father is unknown but we all know who his mother is--his producer.You know the woman who makes him do things every night.Talk about hypocrisy she made him do the cat story but mentioning his idiotic puppet theatre while he obediently followed mothers orders made me retch

If you think Jack is going to do 6 years, think again.Why do you think the one conggressman from California wrote the letter in his behaf? He's hoping that when Jack starts rattung he will pick that guy for a pass. The worst part? The G will go aong when Jack cherry picks the indictment bound.My prediction--he will serve about the same time fellow rat Dean got

Olbermann's father is........
Anakin Skywalker aka. Darth vader!

A Republican candidate in California was a "worst person" runner-up for publishing a photo of Turkey erroneously labeled as Iraq.

The only way it could be "erroneously" posted is if the person who put it up was blind. There were signs printed in Turkish, a woman dressed in traditional Western garb and a very clear sign of a Turkish ice cream company. Add to that the asthetics: the buildings are too clean and contain elements that have never been seen in any Iraqi structures, the taxi in the corner of the shot is too new (it almost looks like a cab you'd see in New York City), everybody looks way too relaxed for a combat zone...

It's bogus - clearly and emphatically. So unless this particular candidate has idiots on his staff, someone tried to pull a fast one.

I think I read somewhere that KO's rub-on tan was uneven last night and he was so embarrassed he hid under his desk and was unable to "perform". He wouldn't do that would he?

While McKinney was named "worser" she wasn't labeled as "Democratic" Representative, as was the "worse" the "Republican" who replaced the "disgraced" Duke Cunningham.

Seems Olbermann is more and more desperate, as his ratings fall further down the crapper

Hey Spaghettibrains, do you know Bluefire by any chance? Mr. Dollar, do they have the same IP address? Not an Olbermann in any of the posts, lots of extraneous punctuation marks, and a self-reference in the third person. Same crap, different name.

Trekkie,

Congrats on getting the word Olbermann into your post. As for the content, it is the usual. The wonderful Ms. McKinney punched a security guard because he had the nerve to not recognize her when she wasn't wearing the proper ID while running around metal detectors. She in turn released a statement blaming the officer for not recognizing her:

"Earlier today I had an unfortunate confrontation with a Capitol Hill Police Officer. It is traditional protocol that Capitol Hill Police Officers secure 535 Members of Congress, including 100 Senators. It is the expectation of most Members of Congress that Capitol Hill Police officers know who they are. I was urgently trying to get to an important meeting on time to fulfill my obligations to my constituents. Unfortunately, the Police Officer did not recognize me as a Member of Congress and a confrontation ensued. I did not have on my Congressional pin but showed the Police Officer my Congressional ID.

So she attacks a cop because he has the nerve to not recognize her as she rushed around security with no ID at one of the most secure buildings in the United States, and she doesn't get "worst person?" Please spare me the excuses. This isn't the first time McKinney has done something disgusting. Remember this McKinney quote:

We know there were numerous warnings of the events to come on September 11th. . . . What did this administration know and when did it know it, about the events of September 11th? Who else knew, and why did they not warn the innocent people of New York who were needlessly murdered? . . . What do they have to hide?

TREKKIE-why do you left wing idiots always see conspiracy where none exists.You know every now and then a cigar is just a cigar and an error is just an error.You waste your energy looking for deceit where none exists.
We would all like to know if Keith wears a toupee,could you help us with that?

TREKKIE -by the way it's AESTHETICS not ASTHETICS.If you wish to be take seriously over here please watch your spelling.

bill: Fine, I made a mistake. If I could fix it I would.

Funny, KfK, the only time I see "Olbermann" in your post is when you reference its appearance in my post. So if it's meant to tell me I'm off-topic, it tends to miss the mark.

I was actually congratulating you on your post Trekkie, since the other leftie posters above did not even try to produce posts relevant to the site (specifically the poster "Spaghettibrains"). Your post at least dealt with Olby, although your defense of his WPITW choice was weak at best.

> The only way it could be "erroneously" posted is if the person who put it up was blind.

Erroneous = wrong, incorrect. If you claim the photo posting was not erroneous, you are claiming it was not wrong or incorrect, when it was clearly both. Maybe you are saying it was not accidental, but I didn't write accidental, I wrote erroneous.

Systamatic propagation of a doctrine or cause of information reflecting the views and intrests of those advocating such a doctrine or cause =
PROPAGANDA i.e Erroneous picture

Hey Bluefire, ah I meant Spaghettiman, are you a good cook?

I was actually congratulating you on your post Trekkie, since the other leftie posters above did not even try to produce posts relevant to the site (specifically the poster "Spaghettibrains").

I apologize, then, for my remarks. I mistook your statement for sarcasm and reacted inappropriately.

I hereby declare tomorrow "Keith Olbermann Day." Activites one can do with loved ones include having friends call radio stations and mention your name on the air, discussing controversial subjects with friends (do not debate subjects with intellectual betters), accost old ladies on the street that look like Barbara Bush and call them the worst people in the world and be sure to drink plenty of French Wine. If people see through your shallow personality, just stroke your chin, sigh, and say " Barry Bonds. What a shame."

Kfk, "You waste your energy looking for deceit where none exists."

With an issue as big as the Iraq war, i would expect people to get their facts right.
So either it was the work of a fool or someone out to deceive.

Regardless its pretty bad. Why? Because its NOT THE TRUTH!

Its discovery pokes an enourmous hole in the "the war is going swimingly" argument, and the fact that it is fake totally deflates your "whinging leftie" rhetoric.

Why are you all so much more concerned with people calling bullshit than you are with the perpetrators of said bullshit.

Update on McKinney Statement

The woman who was inexplicably only a runner-up for WPITW released two statements. The first one is available here, and is a complete outrage:

http://www.wsbtv.com/news/8361195/detail.html

Her handlers retracted it and went with the less horrible statement I referenced above. Of course, she denies authorizing it even though it is chock-full of first-person references and family crap that only she would know. Here are some choice details -- let's see how well Trekkie rationalizes her lack of WPITW:

**********************************************************
POSTED: 11:48 am EST March 30, 2006
UPDATED: 3:07 pm EST March 30, 2006

WASHINGTON, DC -- Channel 2 Action News has acquired a copy of McKinney's original statement that she decided against posting on her website.

McKinney Statement

Statement of Cynthia McKinney Re: Repeated Harassment from Capitol Hill Police

Throughout my tenure in Congress, I seem to evoke memory loss, especially from certain police officers who claim not to be able to recognize my face while I go to work everyday, representing the people of Georgia's 4th Congressional District.

Washington, DC and local newspapers, as well as authors of books, have carried my "working while black" stories of such encounters on Capitol Hill. In fact, the movie American Blackout candidly captures just such an encounter in one of its more humorous moments when after a two-year hiatus from Congress, a black police officer recognizes me and welcomes me back to Washington, and then just across the street, a few yards away, a white police officer approaches me to ask me what office I am with. In the film I remark, "Some things never change. That's what Tupac said."

Sadly, there are only 14 black women Members of Congress. And surely our faces are distinguishable. But why my face is continually unrecognizable can only be answered by these offending police officers. . . The US Capitol Police mission statement makes no distinction about selective application of its mission depending upon whether a Member of Congress is black, woman, or has a new hairstyle. . . How do we account for the fact that when I wore my braids every day for 11 years, I still faced this problem, primarily from certain white police officers. . .This morning at approximately 8:57 am, I was going to a Budget Committee meeting due to start at 9:00 am. I was rushing to my meeting when a white police officer yelled to me. He approached me, bodyblocked me, physically touching me. I used my arm to get him off of me. I told him not to touch me several times. He asked for my ID and I showed it to him. He then let me go and I proceeded to my meeting and I assume that the Police Officer resumed his duties. I have counseled with the Sergeant-at-Arms and Acting Assistant Chief Thompson several times before and counseled with them again on today's incident. I offered also to counsel with the offending police officer. I have agreed to try to remember to wear my pin and to notify Capitol Hill police every time I change my hairstyle. . . It is, however, a shame that while I conduct the country's business, I have to stop and call the police to tell them that I've changed my hairstyle so that I'm not harassed at work.
**********************************************************

Now, she goes to the trouble of writing this, but suddenly pulls it and offers a more civil response. Anybody wonder why? Could it be that she found out all of this was CAPTURED ON FILM? Lies don't work too well when there is videotape.

For a liberal Democrat to get to WPITW I believe they would have to fly a plane into an orphanage on video while screaming, "die orphans, die."

WOW! The "press conference" for McKinney is available now:

http://www.wsbtv.com/video/8391054/index.html

She has dragged out Harry Belafonte and Danny Glover to play the race card! I guess they have absolute moral authority to prejudge ongoing cases! Oy vey!

Does anyone know if KK has ever named someone WPITW who criticized a previous WPITW? And is Keith to cheap to spring for some indoor taning. Keith, just take in that Florida sun, baby. It's good for what ails ya. Well, maybe not. What actually ails you is a whole 'nother hornets nest. Meanwhile, there's that sound again. People jumping off the Olbermann express as it jumps the tracks and plummets into Phil Donahue Canyon.

At least Olbermann makes the guys a the FAUX ''News' Channel a little less able to get away with the "US vs. Them" tirade they substitute for 'news' on a 24/7 basis.

You NEVER see CNN come out and say "they" in referring to persons they may not agree with like the FAUX 'News Channel does on a regular basis. Neither do you see MSNBC dresort to that type of reporting.

Admirably, Olbermann make s fun of his own errors and never shies away from admitting he uses satire and sarcasm to make his points.

FAUX'S "news' broadcasts look like a "high school pep rally" for the "Corporacracy" (Bush's new "Democracy" in America.) FAUX acttually presents opinions as fact and not in the satirical way Olbermann toys with topics.

When the CEO of BP ADMITS greenhouse gases EXACERBATE global warming and announces that global warming is real, FAUX runs a DISCLAIMER on Robert Kennedy's photo documentation of the receding Teton snow pack through photos and logs over tha last century. ROFL!

At least Olbermann doesn't let Bill O'Loofah cut HIS mic!

Everybody here is talking about the Dems not having a 'plan'.

Mr. Bush already "Did" his plan and announced (correct me if I'm wrong) "Mission Accomplished" when, in relaity, no such defining moment has ever come. As the administration attempts to backtrack and say they didn't say this or didn't say that in order to distance themselves from that stupidly premature declaration they are racking up indictment after indictment as well they should.

"I am not a crook." Richard M. Nixon - 1973
"It takes a warrant to wiretap." George W. Bush - 2004

Quoting Patrick Fegan: "Does anyone know if KK has ever named someone WPITW who criticized a previous WPITW?"

LOL, so if a WPITW criticized another WPITW, would the first WPITW be Keith's friend in the same way that the enemy of my enemy is my friend?

Countdown reminds me of those puzzles for kids where you circle all the things that are wrong. Let's see, there's the Man-Tan, the lies, the distortions, Oddball...the list never ends.

Hey Patrick Rat. Unfortunate last name there pal. Beat up a lot in school? It's great you're having the last laugh and posting incoherent, rambling drivel about the Foxy Babe News Channel. Fox is infinitely less conservative than CNN, CBS, ABC, MSNBC, and NBC are liberal. The actual news reporting is straight down the middle. Shocking but true. But maybe they could drop some of those ultra conservatives like Ellis Hennican, Juan Williams, Mara Liason, Greta Van Susternen, Alan Colmes, Geraldo Rivera, Chris Wallace, Bob Beckel, Morton Kondracke..........

.....Susan Estritch, Eleanor Clift, David Corn, Geraldine Ferrarok, Lis Wiehl, ........

PatrickRat- What a revelation to have someone like you come along and open up the eyes of all of us who have so unjustifiably laid the wood to KK and failed to see the evil of Fox News. Why, how could we have possibly been so deluded as to be taken in by a news station that uses the pronoun "they" to refer to terrorists. After all terrorists are no different than you and me-- oh, they might fly a few planes into office buildings killing thousands of people, car bomb hundreds of innocent people, and saw the heads off regular folks with rusty saws, but is that any reason to to use such hurtful and insensitive terms such as "they" to refer to our neighbors in the Middle East?

OK, back to reality- could you give us some examples of Olbermann admitting his own errors? If you have been on this site for any length of time, you will find example after example of KK telling lies to support liberal claptrap and false slurs against Bill O'Reilly. If KK's shows are characterized by his willingness to admit such errors, maybe you can provide a few examples? As to your assertion that Fox "presents opinion as fact" , which shows are you talking about? If you referring to BOR or
H & C, I have a news flash for you-- these shows are SUPPOSED to be shows for the purpose of presnting opinion. Are you saying that when Fox reports straight news, they insert opinions into in it? If so, care to provide an example? Your hero KK on the ther hand, holds himself out to be an objective anchor "news" man when he actually presents distortions and one sided news to spout DNC talking points. Get your facts straight.

hank
1, "As to your assertion that Fox "presents opinion as fact" , which shows are you talking about?"

umm - pretty much every news cast! (well, at least the ones we see in New Zealand)

2, "these shows are SUPPOSED to be shows for the purpose of presnting opinion."

Then whats it doing with the word NEWS in the title?! - be it network title or show title

3, "Are you saying that when Fox reports straight news, they insert opinions into in it? If so, care to provide an example?"

Yes they do insert opinion. An example? Everytime they utter the words "some people say". Which is, used quite frequently.

Fox have been caught with their pants down on numerous occasions. Their arguments and assertions have holes big enough to fly a plane through.
Im sorry hank, but if you think that fox = news, then its time you went back to school.

Keith Olbermann has used the phrase "some people say". So has the New York Times. Wow. Slanted news. Well it those cases it may be true, for reasons that have nothing to do with "some people say".

In other words, hank, fraser cannot cite any examples to back up his claim. He instead relies on trotting out stale old propaganda slogans from the Fox haters to make his points.

In any event, this is really getting off subject, no? This site is about the lies of Keith Olbermann, not the lies of the anti-Fox crowd. Let's try to keep some semblance of focus.

fraser--
no SPECIFIC examples = no answers to my questions = idiotic post

hank - I used the words "Everytime they utter the words "some people say". ". Note the word "Every time".

That is specific. Or do i have to go through the archives and list every time the phrase is used to satisfy you?

The phrase "some people say" is used as a way to insert opinion. It is a widly recognised technique. If they (media) were inserting FACT they would name sources.

So before you accuse me again of an idiotic post, i suggest you do some homework on what the differences between news and opinion actually are.
Also i find it interesting that you have failed to address the other points i put to you. Are you unable?

johnny dollar - yes i agree, the whole fox thing has gotten a bit off topic. But this site seems to be one that in the comments section tries to hold up fox as a shinning light.
Fine, talk about KO's journalism all you want - thats what debate is all about - but to complain about the lies of one party then hold up another bunch of liers as some kind of counter point is naive and foolish (not saying that you have done that, but others have).

Out of curiosity (not intended as insult at all) - how many of you are reading this from outside the USA?

johnny dollar - where have i lied or "trotted out propaganda" - could you point it out?

I didn't say you lied. I said you trotted out propaganda lines like the "some people say" business, which is as common a short-hand in television news as "this just in". It means nothing in itself other than, "there are those, such as Sen Blowhard or the editorial page of the Podunk Gazette, who have made the argument that..."

Get it? It's shorthand. Everybody uses it. Keith, Matthews, Larry King. It's not a "Fox trick". They weren't the first to use it, and they won't be the last. Stop buying into lies (yes, the notion that this phrase is a secret propaganda device is a lie) and stick to the topic, please.

Hello psycho a--holes! Keith Olbermann is one of the best journalists in the business. Thank the lord Jesus Christ for him. Okay enjoy the rest of your insane day!

Impressive post "srgtick"! A real credit to Olbermaniacs everywhere!

too funny. psycho a--holes is just about right. more like little storm trooper psycho a--holes. you guys woulda been great in the hitler youth. lockstep! lockstep! more of the frat boy, CEO, RNC crowd for sure. what a bunch of losers.
