Damn, Olby took of last night and based on the preview is phoning it in tonight.

"Which of these stories will you be talking about tomorrow?" Uh, none.

No celebration for Bonds breaking Ruth's mark. Big deal, its for SECOND PLACE. He'll still be 40 behind Hammerin' Hank when (if) he passes Ruth.

A "viral video" of a 20 year old World Series, a story about Delmon Young that has been pounded on ESPN for 2 days, and then the grand slam, a whole segment of KO and two other guys bitching about O'Reilly, while all of them try to make money off Bill's name. At least KO generally admits he'd have no show at all if not for the Factor.

Finish it up with the nightly Brangelina/Britany/TomKat stories, and it's gonna be another big ratings coup on MSNBC.

Can't wait to see how you make this one interesting J$.

Hasn't ROBERT COX been "phoning it in" all week?
Is nothing beneath you rightwing hypocrites?

After just watching the preview, it is going to be a wild night on this board with Rush and my namesake prominantly mentioned.

Let the kool-aid drinking begin!

gulp. gulp. gulp.
I'm ready.
Bring it on.

DID YOU SEE THAT?! Delmond Young hit that umpire with a bat like seven or eight times!

That\'s lousy journalism. How biased can you get! There oughta be a law! That darn Keith. What a mudslinger.

"while all of them try to make money off Bill's name.
What whiney tripe! Like any of you would even have a life if it were'nt for KO! Or each other tittering at your sophmoric attempts at at contributing something to public discourse.

WTG blucaller. Start the personal attacks right away. Don't tell me what part of that statement was wrong.

Please tell me it was just coincidental that the O'Reilly piece was put at the end of the show, and not done to try to keep his viewers through the "stories my producers make me cover" crapola.

Scott,
I didn't call you any names. I know where that leads on this site. Remember? I'm "blew-caller"
or as some of your buds here call me, "c**ksuc*er."
I called the tripe here whiney and sophmoric, which it is.
Even you can't claim KO's show is cashing in on O'Reilly without acknowledging this entire site is doing the same to KO.
Now if you want to take the brilliant Steven Colbert, whom O'Reilly used to like, but no longer mentions because he's interviewed Franken and Olbermann, you would have a point.
Colbert does a dead on, incicive parody of O'Reillys pompous TV personna. Even pretends to adore him, and refers to him as "Papa Bear" while doing a schitck about his hatred of bears.

I was just over at these Bozos website and most of their daily rants are nothing more then links to (WOW! WHAT A SURPRISE! MEDIA MATTERS and other loser links) It looks like once a week they blog something on their own. I guess it's hard for them to get away from their slacker jobs at Quickie-Mart.

I can tell you for a fact I have never made one cent of KO's name. And I do have a life outside of this board. So I'm not sure where your post was going other than appearing as a knee jerk response to someone deriding your beloved Olbermann.

On numerous occassions, to guests and interviewers (live the aforementioned Colbert), KO has admitted he'd have no show if he didn't have O'Reilly to complain about. It happens, according to KO just moments ago, "approximately 3.7 times a week."

Its an obsession, man, and an unhealthy one at that. He's not looking out for anyone; I daresay few of his fans would watch the Factor. He is playing into the hands of those who share his views by going WAY overboard with the nightly attacks.

I don't care for Olbermann at all. I thought he was pretty good (if a bit overrated) on Sportscenter. I preferred the "Big Show," the 2AM edition with Craig Kilborn. But all the garbage about the election "controversy" in north Florida turned me off him.

With just the slightest research (which was quickly done by many) he could have found that the Panhandle is far more reliably Republican in Presidential races than the I-4 corridor of Central FL. (Tampa to Orlando for those outside the state). Instead, he trumped up the "questionable" results of the '04 election in that area for days, if not weeks. He was just plain wrong, would not admit he was wrong, and tried to make an issue of something that just wasn't. All because he didn't like the election result.

It wasn't good journalism, and it wasn't honest. Since then, the last year and a half has been more of the same, nightly. Speculation, name calling, poor journalism, and insults, directed at those who don't march in lockstep with KO's myopic world view. I would probably be able to deal with it better if he called himself and his show what it is: commentary. It is not a newscast. It is KO finding stuff on "the internets" or NBC news and talking about it so that it makes Republicans look bad.

Just over at amazon.com where after a little more than a month out in public SWEET JESUS, I HATE BILL O'REILLY clocks in on the best-seller list at #2892! Thats up from #2646 yesterday!

I love moonbat Math!

$14.00 FOR A PAPERBACK? A little high eh?

Scott

Don't let these pinheads(like that) get to you. If Olby only had 352,000 total viewers wed. and thats down from 610,000 last week at this rate he should be flat out of viewers by Memorial Day!

I''m sure it's just a matter of time ( as in never ) before Krazy Keith has on the family members of flight 93 on his show. IT'S TOO SOON, IT'S TOO SOON! That would be whiny liberaleze for " All this movie is going to do is remind the American people what's at stake. And we can't have that!" The family members can always get in touch with Terri's Schiavo's familly and talk with them about when they can expect to be on Countdownthetubes. Say what you want about Larry King. The man is liberal put extremely fair compared to Orangermann. I thought he did a great job with the actors from the movie and the family members of the victims of those cowards.

There once was " Flight 93"
That the "critics" said was too soon to see.
But is that the real reason?
No, it's because election season
Is here. From the Dems we shall flee!

Oh the liberals are beside themselves tonight, my friends. This is a victory for Rush Limbaugh. And please stop with the " there's white justice in this agreement." ( See O.J. Simpson, Michael Jackson) If Rush wasn't a famous conservative, he would never have been prosecuted in the first place. And good for some leftists and the ACLU ( I guess that was redundant) for taking to task the D.A. for illegally searching the doctor's office and pharmacy without a warrant. Too bad the judge said it was okay. Was this judge any relation to the Terri Schiavo judge, Grier? Also, the liberals are screaming that an ordinary American would not have gotten off this easy. An ordinary American wouldn't have been prosecuted in the first place, dummies. But if you could give me a list of people who were thrown in the slammer for 15 years ( like Ted Williams suggested on Greta's show tonight) then I'm all ears. And I guess that the D. A. is a big Al Gore guy is not germaine to the issue, is it? Good luck in the future Rush and please continue to dominate talk radio with your 650 plus stations!!

Shouldn't Robert Downey, jr. be in a jail cell somewhere? I know he spent some time in there but he got a pretty good deal if I remember correctly.

Olby brought in a pair of hate-monger authors to participate in the bash-fest, and immediately wanted to know if O'Reilly was going to apologize for not knowing that the publisher of a paper had died a few months ago.

He died FOUR YEARS AGO! He hasn't been publisher of that paper for nearly a quarter-century! Check your facts before going into SPIN CYCLE!

Where are you hearing the cries of "White Justice?" I haven't heard anyone but you use that term.
The fiercly anti-druggie Rush Limbaugh will get his just desserts in that special corner of hell reserved for hypocrites, dontcha think?

So Johnny,

You admit Bill was wrong to smear that DEAD GUY and not correct his mistake the way KO did with the "Hoosier Gazzette" debacle the very next night?

Degree of difficulty on this question: It's a yes or no answer.

Do you have a reading deficiency, Blucaller? I said his name was Ted Williams and he is a former D.C. detective and he was on Greta Van Whateverhernameis tonight. He said " this is a case of white justice." It was on Fox. But that's right, you don't watch that station, do you? And they say conservatives live in a bubble!

Yes anon, Stephen Rogers did die in 2002. So I will make that correction. However, I also see that the person who took over for him is also named Stephen Rogers (his son), so it appears O'Reilly's entire "crime" was to put up the wrong photograph, something Olby himself admits to having done on occasion. Still we want to get the facts straight and will make appropriate corrections.

I don't know exactly how this thing with O'Reilly happened (the "smearing the dead guy" deal). I just checked the Syracuse-Post Standard (http://www.post-standard.com/contact.html). Guess who is the publisher.....that's right, Stephen A. Rogers (actually editor and publisher). Now, I have a hard time believing that the Post-Standard hasn't updated their masthead in 25 years, especially considering where the internet was in 1981.

Could in be that in a rush to blast O'Reilly, certain left wing outlets have missed a middle initial? I don't know. I do know that it looks like no one at Countdown, Media Matters,( I picked those two because they have been the ones at the front of this story) or elsewhere have bothered to do just a little research. Nor have they bothered to explain the story, if in fact they have checked the Post-Standard's website. Or maybe, the Post Standard is lying on their site about who the publisher is.

It appears, to me, that someone may have the story mixed up, or is deliberatly misleading the public in an attempt to "smear" a competitor?

Maybe someone can help me with the facts here.

Hey Patrick, I heard a conservative say that all non-whites should be killed, would it be okay for me to lump all conservatives into his group?

You see Patrick; your so-called arguments are so flimsy it's comical to read your posts.

Never mind.

We just updated the posts with the facts. The former publisher and the current publisher are both named Stephen Rogers. When they put up a picture of the current Stephen Rogers on O'Reilly, they used a picture of the FORMER publisher Stephen Rogers (father of the current). So the whole "smearing a dead guy" thing really boils down to: they put up the wrong photograph. Something that has happened on Countdown as well, but I don't recall anyone accusing Olby of smearing Max Cleland.

Scott,
I never meant "cashing in" in the sense anyone was making money off this site. One would only have to scan thru it briefly to see there is not enough traffic or people posting to make it a profitable enterprise.
I was thinking more along the lines of some desparate webmaster using Keith Olbermanns name to establish his internets street cred so he could promote himself as the "leading critic" of KO.
Of course, if you did that, you might get "interviews" and an occasional panel to sit on.
Or maybe "cashing in" in the sense you were enriching your social life that evolves around a shared hatred or jealousy of somebody elses success.
Olbermanns show would do just fine without O'Reilly, although it wouldn't be as necessary or as funny or gratifying .
But there's not much chance that your man is gonna stop feeding KO material anytime soon.

I know that the defenders of Keith Olbermann say that he deserves a higher, more sophisticated form of criticism. Perhaps he would receive said enlightened critiques if he had a more enlightened program. He deserves what he gets. And for the record, the analysis by the fellas here at Olbermann Watch is extremely sophisticated, in the purest, best sense of the word. Don't just gloss over what the guys provide each night, peruse it with great vigor. If anything, Olbermann receives too good a treatment, seeing how he actually deserves much less. But he can gain the respect of conservatives and liberals alike ( some libs won't be caught dead near the man ) by providing both sides to the stories. But I wouldn't count on it. The real reason why he never has ideological opponents on his show is not that it makes him " queasy" but because he is obviously not confident in his debating skills and is afraid of being thrashed by Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin , Laura Ingraham and the other conservative POAs not to mention the fact he might fly off the handle. If he did lose his cool, he'd never again be thought of as that quirky, edgy, fun dude who hides behind some lame schtick in order to promote a lamer agenda. But I'm sure that Countdownthetubes show will not take my sage advice. But it should.

Who in the hell watches Greta Van Sustern? If I wanted breaking news on missing white girls in Aruba or alledged Duke University LaCross team gang rapes, I'd watch O'Reilly for his whole hour.

Hey nonfactor, I promise to try to tighten up the logic in my posts and I'll continue to be comical. But I treasure your constructive criticism. Oh, if only Count(Down) Orangula would do the same.

I must admit I don't understand your post. Is it that you think I lump all liberals together? I try to make an effort not to, even saying not all liberals lust after Keith Olbermann. There's a guy named Eddie Kay who posts here and he's liberal and he loathes the man. Oh, and when I posted " and they say conservatives live in a bubble" I didn't intend that "they" referred to liberals. It was meant for moderates. Honest.

Stephen A. Rogers, son of Stephen Rogers, is the publisher.
George W. Bush, son of George Bush, is the president.
Olbermann apologises and even named CountDown "Worst Person in the World" the next night.
When is O'Reilly ever be man enough to admit his mistake
Naw. It's easier to put Hollywood on notice, as he did tonite, because he has PTSD from 911.

but I don't recall anyone accusing Olby of smearing Max Cleland.

google: olbermann cleland wrong picture

hit I'm feeling lucky and Ta Da!

NewsBusters!

Blucaller, millions of people watch Greta's show. She kicks the tar out of KK. But who doesn't? And what does the race of Natalee Holloway have to do with anything? Just like the alleged rape that may or may not have happened at Duke. Sometimes, the race of the persons involved are the least of all factors in a particular case. Ah yes, but if Natalee was black, there would be no attention, right? How do you know? In the last year, children and women who have been kidnapped have been prominent in the news, as well they should have been. Race is irrelevant. In the words of the King of The Hill himself, Hank Hill, " What kind of world do I live in where I can only hate a mand if he's white?" Blucaller, you're hispanic, correct? I think that you are a racist! RACIST! RACIST!

Hey Blew Caller,

Olbermann did not name his show the worst person in the world. The show finished in 3rd place. No go find your whistle and hurry of to the parade.

Keith Olbermann names Countdownthetoilet worst person in the world? Wonderful. Now, if only he would do that everynight.

He Blew the Caller,

He named his show worse, 3rd place, not worst person in the world. Nice try. Go find your whistle and scurry off to the parade.

bad girls, bad girls talking bout the bad bad girls.

beep beep toot toot.

Wow. Keith is really on the ball with the 2 day old news on Karl Rove. I understand that on Monday, it's going to be one wing dinger of a program. They're staying pretty hush-hush on the content over there at Countdownthegutter but it might have something to do with Bush and the National Guard. Oooooooh!

Ah yes, but if Natalee was black, there would be no attention, right? How do you know?

Do the names JonBenet Ramsey and Elizabeth Smart ring a bell? How about Chandra Levy and Laci Peterson? Jennifer Wilbanks, Jessica Lunsford, Lori Hacking? It's a long list...and every name on it belongs to a white female. Except for the "cruise ship disappearance" (which Bill O. trots out every now and then), men and non-white women who go missing get short shrift.

The media eats it up - there's even a term for it ("Missing Pretty Girl Syndrome").

Sorry, homophobe closet case. I got it wrong, so I am officially declaring myself the Worser Person in the World. The worst would be the only right winger who has ever been given a Loonie Label on this website. That would be You, for using obscene, vile, insulting, and homophobic language in one of your previous posts.
I bet you're some cowering little wimp, hiding behind a monitor and keyboard. You know I'm a construction worker?
A GAY CONSTRUCTION WORKER.

Now, now blew,

temper, temper. I suggest you try counting to 10.

Missing pretty girl syndrome! Who are the people who come up with these diagnoses? Could a determining factor of white women being prominent in missing person cases be that white people make up over 70% of the U.S. population? I can recall a black woman in South Carolina and a black woman in Philadelphia who went missing getting plenty of media attention, as well as the hispanic coed in New York who was murdered by the bouncer in New York. Also, the nation was glued to the tv a year or so ago when three little hispanic boys in New Jersey dissappeared and were later discovered in the trunk of a car. It doesn't have to do with race AT ALL.

Missing pretty girl syndrome
It's not a diagnosis. It's a label for a type of saturation TV that probably isn't about race, or gender. It's about ratings (got that, Puck?) and the crass pursuit of them, at the expense of real news.
Oh, and whoever implied otherwise, I'm white, but I suffer from that pigment envy syndrome I was hearing about a couple of years ago.

There once was a tv hack
On his show would be quack after quack.
His guests would come on
And distort, lie, and con
Because truth, indeed, they did lack.

Hey Keith Olbermann, it's time to play the national anthem and sign off....forever. Your show is done.

For those who believe that white women get preferential treatment concerning coverage of missing persons cases, I suggest they take their beefs right to those right wing, racist sexist organs CNN, CNNHN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS, and Geraldo Rivera himself. POWER TO THE PEOPLE.

Johnny Dollar:
"With all the talk of the Republican "cottage industry of scandal", we don't recall Krazy Keith or Slippery ever reporting on another election-day scheme. Three Democratic campaign workers and a Congresswoman's son (Look! A connection to high-ranked Democrats!) slashed the tires at a Bush-Cheney heaquarters on election day, 2004"

Here is the Fox's story of the crime:
" A U.S. lawmaker's son and three Democratic campaign workers were sentenced Wednesday to four to six months in jail for slashing tires outside a Bush-Cheney campaign office on Election Day 2004.

The men pleaded no contest in January to misdemeanor property damage. A fifth worker was found not guilty.

Just to get this straight: You equate misdemeaner property damage with a crime that the GOP has spent over $1.6 million defending their convicted operative. I know both political tricks sound equal to my namesake and you guys, but really!

wofnntkw

Where did I say "equate"? Why is it that Olbermanniacs have such problems with reading comprehension? I said what I said, not what you wanted me to say. Reading Is Fundamental.

You'll note the judge took the case seriously because it impacted on voters' rights. Maybe you think it's OK to violate voters' rights if it's Republican voters. I KNOW that's what Krazy Keith thinks.

And by the way, it's not Fox's story of the crime. IT's a report from the Associated Press. And also by the way, one of the criminals is the son of a Congresswoman. That's a DIRECT LINK to Congress, unlike the phony, nonexistent link Krazy Keith is trying to dot-connect to the White House.

It's simple. If you're going to report on Abramoff, then report on William Jefferson. If you're going to report on DeLay, then report on Mollohan or whatever his name is. And if you're going to report on Republicans who tried to violate voters' rights, then you do the same for Democrats.

But then he couldn't call it a "Republican cottage industry", could he?

For those who haven't been paying close attention, the above is a good example of the workings of OlbySpin. I have spoken.

"Scandal, something of a cottage industry among Republicans these days...

Yeah, particularly when you don't bother reporting any of the Democratic scandals."

Any examples to share? Or are thess two sentences like Fox News claiming that the media isn't reporting the "good news" from Iraq when Fox itself rarely finds anything good to report?

With O'Reilly the kook is obsessed
Spews venom like a demon possessed
Meltdown has no taste
Of bandwidth, a waste
Geraldo would be his last guest

To O'Reilly he likes to give flak
But compared, he's just a hack
For a moment stop hating
And look at the rating
Olby's taking it right up the crack

He's been found in the fetal position
That's bizarre no matter what your condition
Under his desk he was quivering
Uncontrollably shivering
For Keith, an occupational tradition

I hope everyone appreciates the irony of the fact that the fans of KK, who has zero opposing views on his program, can come over to this site and defend the indefensible, even thought liberal views make johnny dollar, hank and Bob Cox queasy and that it adds nothing to the debate.

On another note, I've been watching the NFL draft on Krazy Keith's old network and I waa suprised to see Michael Irvin is one of the guest hosts. Why is a known drug addict on ESPN? Shouldn't he be in jail or something? Sounds like some black justice to me, folks. I guess it's better to have a crack addict on than a man who got addicted to pain killers after back surgery.

For those who wish to call Rush a hypocrite regarding his public statements on drugs versus his own addiction, I believe he always directed most of his anger to the drug dealers themselves, with some, I agree, for the drug users. But I'll be in the corner with someone who became addicted after unsuccessful back surgery as opposed to crack heads who kill and steal and abuse their children anyday.

JD: No, you never, ever, said that you "equate" the crimes.

However, you do COMPARE the political incidents, one a convicted misdemeanor event and the other a convicted felonious event.

Does my namesake always mention a Repug while drilling the DEMS a new one. I can't answer this because the only times I watch Bill is when I need to purge. Listening to Bill seems to get the juices going to flush the ol system clean.

"For those who wish to call Rush a hypocrite regarding his public statements on drugs versus his own addiction, I believe he always directed most of his anger to the drug dealers themselves, with some, I agree, for the drug users. But I'll be in the corner with someone who became addicted after unsuccessful back surgery as opposed to crack heads who kill and steal and abuse their children anyday."

Patrick: Who's corner would you rather be in?

Someone who got addicted to pain killers from unsuccessful back surgery, or the majority of Americans who usually don't become addicted to pain killers after unsuccessful back surgery.

On a second note, wouldn't all those doctors who Rush "shopped" for pain killers be considered drug dealers since they didn't do their due dilegence on their patient? And what about Rush procuring in parking lots when he couldn't find another sucker( I mean doctor) to fill his cravings? Rush's shenanigans sure mimic those of drug dealers and their druggy customers. And we know which one of these characters Rush resembles.

Sorry to be a pest today, but that Patrick just keeps writing the funniest things to me, but obviously very serious stuff with this crowd.

"right wing, racist sexist organs CNN, CNNHN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS, and Geraldo Rivera himself. POWER TO THE PEOPLE"

Patrick: You have described the majority of televised news organizations. In your very prosaic way, could you please provide a description of Fox News? I don't know if Fox is part of this group, a more reliable, non-slanted news organization better than this group, or worse than this group.

Well there was some assnonimous poster here yesterday, bitchin' about O'Reilly going down,down,down, and KO going up,up,up,. and tennie wennies and panties. Well................

LET'S GO TO TVNEWSER AND WHIP OUT THURSDAYS ALMOST OVERNIGHTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

18-34

O'Reilly: 456 The King (+19)

Sominex Zhan Theatre: 164 (coffee is on!+62)

Olby: 119 ( + 9!!)

Grace: 99 (-95!)

Total viewers

O'Reilly: 2,538,000 (+436)

Zhan:682,000 (+213)

Grace:474,000(-135)

Olby:347,000(-5)

Up,up,up,??? Down,down,down???

Olby takes off and the Demo gets better, not good news.

O'Reilly now 7.3 times the viewers of Olby!!!!!! Who's got the case of turtle blues now?

MSNBC demo champ for the night? Rita Cosby:161!!!

It seems like the Olbddicted (see I can splice two words together too--is it funny now?) people here always like to point out ratings numbers like it makes an unmentioned point of theirs.

I guess Brokeback Mountain and Crash are horrible movies because they didn't make as much money as King Kong.

Puck, KfK, or whoever else gets an idea to post ratings again please please please try to make a point.

Hey O'Reilly is weird. I've always considered myself rather humorous so, thanks for noticing. The majority of Americans don't have back surgery, now, do they? But the ones who don't get addicted after unsuccessful back surgery perhaps have a higher pain threshold or get addicted to something else. There could any number of reasons why some get addicted to pain killers and some do not. I'm sure people with compassion could sympathize with what Rush went through instead of judging him, like you and other heartless liberals are doing. But apparently, it's not just a Rush Limbaugh problem because at the end of each of the big three networks report on Rush tonight, they mentioned it's growing problem and even gave out toll free numbers to people suffering from addiction to pain killers. Somehow I just can't consider all those doctors ( 4 of them ) to be drug dealers, you know, popping a cap in someones's ass, doing drive by's, threatening wittnesses, etc... And even you must have noticed that the uproar about him getting preferential treatment has all but dissappeared, due to the fact it's utterly false. NBC interviewed a judge ( it may have even been the judge of the Limbaugh case himself) who said anyone who was a first time offender would have been offered the same deal. Unless you can provide me with the judge's conservative republican bonafides, you'll haveto excuse me if I assume the judge in the case is a Democrat, just like the district attorney. I find it interesting how the current administration is constantly bombarded with accusations of cronyism and invasion of privacy but the left, for the most part, has said boo about the illegal, warrantless search of Rush's doctor's office and pharmacy or that the D.A. is heavily involved in the Florida State Democratic Party, which isn't wrong in and of itself ( or is it?) just a bit concerning when you're prosecuting a rather famous conservative talk show host.

I actually consider Fox News to be extremely left wing. After all, they have Alan Colmes, Greta Van Sustenen, Bob Beckel, Lis Wiehl, Ellis Hennican, Susan Estritch and others. Why don't you and others visit the Fox news website and see for yourselves how many lefties are on the Fox payroll if you don't believe me. It includes people with their own programs, contributors and commentators and news readers and reporters who might tilt a tad more left than some of their colleagues at the same network.

Nonfactor ( truer words were never printed ) The reason why the good folks here at ToolWatch print the ratings of said tool and contrast them with everyone on at the same time of the aforementioned tool is to show that Keith the tool man gets obliterated by O'Reilly, spanked by Zahn, and routed by Nancy Grace. The ratings are also apt in proving that this joke of a show ( I'm speaking of Countdownthesewer ) has no appeal. I would wager that more liberals view O'Reilly than conservatives view Ogreman. America has had a taste test between Bill and Keith and the results are in. Americans prefer the fairness and enjoyability of Bill O'Reilly over the tired
bias of Keith Olbermann from anywhere from 6 or 8 to 1. Try the O'Reilly Factor today. Available at the finest of cable and satellite carriers. It will have you saying " Mmmmm. That's good no spin zone."

blue...
O'Reilly is hardly "my boy". The only reasons he gets mentioned in my post are

a: KO instists on mentioning him "3.7 times a week"
and
b: he is on oposite of CD.

I differ with Bill on too many issues to mention here. Starting with the oil companies, and ending with the immigration issue. Although in the long run I agree with his solution to the immigration problem, I disagree with him for his reasons. If you wish to discuss this via email, I'll be happy to. We can figure that out outside this forum, as I don't wish to publish my email addy for all the trolling whackos here to contact me. Neither to I want 5 page diatribes from Jack Frost in my mailbox.

I respect that generally you are well thought and respectful in your posts. Not everyone here (on either side) are.

Just don't call BO "my boy."

Sorry for the double post, I try to avoid that.

There once was a man named Rush
Who's ratings made the loony lefties blush.
But one day they got their chance
To get rid of him and dance
But they failed and all you hear now is a hush.

Nonfactor,

Ratings do mean something. You see, shows with awful ratings often get cancelled. While I agree that ratings and quality are not necessarily intertwined, I am afraid in Olby's case they are.

Now, Olby is trying to attract more loony left viewers, and he may succeed yet. Just hang in there and his ratings might improve. After all, Cuba wasn't built in a day. It took decades to create that utopia. It may take Olby decades to fully attain the ratings he believes he deserves.

Non, Non, Non,

If you can't get the point of the ratings post. I can't help you!

Mr.Fegan and Mr.Scott do.

And so does KFK!

Scott,
I totally respect your taking umbrage at my calling O'reilly "your boy," and apologise for it.
Sometimes his homies posts here fly so fast and furious that I have too often divided everyone into two camps. Will make an effort to be more careful and thoughtful in my future posts.
Obviously, I love debate and am usually up for a good argument.

Whats good for the goose is good for the gander. I was offering a compassionate opinion on a drug addict(hopefully he has kicked it by now) who has made his living offering compassionate comments to people who he believes are evil, liberal in their ideas, or just plain different than Rush!
By the way, is Rush still using his maid to score, or does he use his "Georgian Mistress" to do his dirty work for him? Nice! Calls his girlfriend his mistress. Lots of respect and compassion there for someone he likes; we know what he says about those he doesn't like. Any of you guys call your gilrfriends mistress when talking about them? I imagine they are sooo thrilled to be called that.

Here's the problem with Keith: he goes on the attack because O'Reilly's people erroneously put up the wrong picture of the newspaper's editor, yet misses the BIG STORY, which is the fact that the paper sided with a judge who went easy on a child rapist!

So who's the villian in the story here? The rapist? No. The judge who gave him the lenient sentence? No. The newspaper who sided with the judge? No. No, in Olbyworld, O'Reilly would be the villian.

If you libs can defend your hero for attacking O'Reilly while letting these other miscreants get off with impunity, you are pathetic and truly deserve this pathetic program.

Olbermann is a disgrace.

Well said Missy.
I could not have said it better.
The story IS the judge who went easy on a child rapist, and the newspaper that defended him.
Olbermann has an obsession with bashing all things conservative. The wrong picture is far more newsworthy in his view, because it gives him some muck to sling. Olbermann is a disgrace.

Hey Oreilly-
This may be off topic but I know you are a Yankee fan. Go to youtube.com. Type in Derek Jeter, then watch the Derek Jeter massage skit from SNL. It is one of the funniest things you will ever watch!!!!!!!!Spaghettilegs.........

Olbecmonblowme forgot to report on the Democratic cottage industry of corruption right here:

"A congresswoman's son and three Democratic campaign workers were sentenced Wednesday to four to six months in jail for slashing tires outside a Bush-Cheney campaign office on Election Day 2004."

O'Reilly is weird, I think that El Rushbo deserves a tad more credit than you give him when it comes to him disagreeing with people. After all, he hasn't been nationally syndicated for 18 years now calling those who differ from him " evil." That's usually a canard hurled by those who don't listen to him. Rush Limbaugh, for my money, is one of the best political analysts of our time. Of course, you're free to disagree with my asessment. It's a free country and this site isn't Countdown where differing opinions need not apply. You had me for a second when you said you hoped he kicked the habit, until you wondered if his maid was still helping him score. Now THAT was nice. Oh, and I love the fact that his Georgian mistress( Daryn Kagan) works for CNN. Absolutely beautiful. I'm sure she's okay with Rush's sense of humor and that it was an affectionate term of endearment. He didn't call her a whore, dude. Anyway, I haven't heard him use that term in ages. He should call her his Georgian spy.

Well I know we've all had our fun here at Olbermann Watch at the expense of Krazy Keith and his kowardly shenanigans. But let me say this. There's nothing funny about falling out of a palm tree in Fiji while you're on vacation. I think I speak for all of us critics of Keith when I say " Get better, Keith, Get better.

If I am correct, the mistress is usually the third person in what is supposed to be a TWO person arrangement pertaining to that wonderful religous practice of marraige between two people of the opposite sex. So to have a mistress, you are calling your current girlfriend a housebreaker and sinner. I have to give Rush credit for calling his now ex- girlfriend with what she was, and as such remind people that his family values include adultry, and he is proud of it. On your side of the aisle, you obviously have different terms of affection than I would.

One more Rush: Was I wrong when I asked about his maid scoring for him? Was this a false canard I threw at him? You were right about the evil comment. I was trying to find a proper word to really say PEOPLE HE HATES, but I was weak on my choice of words.

Patrick, what's with this palm tree story?

opqnab

Patrick, it was Keith Richards that fell out of the palm tree (I just saw it on Drudge).

O'Reilly, you truly are a piece of work. First of all, my comment about the maid scoring had to do with you talking out of both sides of your mouth, feigning concern about Rush and how you hoped he was all better then wondering if his maid was still scoring painkillers for him. I thought your concern for Rush seemed legitimate and usually my sarcasm radar is top notch. Or was that more cold hearted liberalism on your part. Do you know for a fact that Rush and Daryn Kagan were dating while he was still married or while she was married ( if she ever was )? It seems to me that our fearless mainstream media would have alerted us to such a situation. And please stop with the pathetic mischaracterization of Rush " hatingpeople." The man hates liberalism ( as do I ) but doesn't hate liberals. Making a damn good living on exposing the, um, shortcomings of the left with the wit and talent for radio that the good Lord gave him hardly amounts to hatred. Nor is he a coward who has no liberal callers on his dominant radio show. If you're a liberal and you get through, you're moved to the front of the line. I've heard many a lively give and take between Rush and a liberal that lasts several segments, as long as you don't use profanity and you don't try to dominate the conversation, as in " filibustering." For the most part, a caller who agrees with Rush says " ditto" makes a quick point, and gets back to the work illegal aliens refuse to do. So you see, the hypocrisy charge is false, the special treatment charge is false, and the hatred of liberals is false.

Thanks for the heads up, Missy. I was positive that it was Olbermann.

Well folks, America has spoken and apparently it's not to soon for " Flight 93." It appears it's going to finish 2nd this weekend with about 11.5 million dollars made. That means a cool a million and a half dollars for the memorial of that sad but inspiring story. And God bless director Paul Greengrass, an Englishman, for directing something that American directors should have fought to the death to have the priveledge to make. Also, Mr. Greengrass is a liberal, had a nice conservation with Rush Limbaugh at one of the screenings, and came away amazed at how Rush obviously wasn't this hideous creature SOME American liberals had led him to believe.

There once was show that count down
With a host that resembled a clown
With his size 14 shoe
And apricot hue
“Krusty” Keith was scorned in each town

kecmcews

yaatmddzw

Olby an obnoxious fellow
Had the hue of a fruity tangelo
All the guests that you see
With Olby agree
Which shows his true colors--yellow!

jshgviwc

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Urine is yellow
Keith Olbermann is too.

Some advice to demerol, depakote, dianabol, and diazepam. Triple the doseage of, well, yourselves.

There once was a man named Kaplan
And he thought he knew what was happnin'.
So he hired this dude
Who was crass, dumb, crude
And his ratings were a pile of nothin'.

You can't stop a limerick. You can only hope to contain it!

Stephen Colbert and Keith Olbermann. Two peas in a very unfunny pod.

Patrick, hank and/or other limerick writers,

You guys are great. I could never come up with that stuff. I hope you're sending things into O'Reilly; I'm sure you could get a signed book or something out of him!

Who said I was "phoning it in"?

In case you hadn't noticed I've been busy fighting for truth, justice and the American way!!!

Skim down the article...you'll find me.

LOL about the home page rotator graphics, Bob.

Three cheers for Patrick Fegan for adding humor and thoughtful comments to the discussions here. I truly believe that this site has become much more valuable and interesting because of him.
