Has Ms Rice complained that an old flame remembered her fondly and wanted to find out "whatever came of her?"
If I could afford it, there's plenty of people I've lost touch with that I'd love to get the low down on, before I contacted them personally. Seems like an unobtrusive way of advoiding that awkward "oh...you're married now..." moment.
It's not like he was hiding a loofa or falafel behind his back.

I should have said "student" intead of "old flame," but wrote before I listened. Upon listening, it's even more of a non-issue.

There once lived a moonbat called Frick
Frack was his boyfriend Dan Patrick
Frick worshiped Frack
For the hole in his crack
Add Michael Musto, it's a hat trick

You are new to the site and don't appreciate the irony here. KO attacked me by name in a radio interview with Howard Kurtz two weeks ago. The "basis" for KO's attack was that I supposedly published information of a "personal nature" because I linked to a web site for a medical clinic in California affiliated with Stanford University. The person Keith was defending, Marisa McNee, and her OlbyLoon GalPals, have repeatedly leveled the utterly absurd charge that I "stalked" McNee for Googling her name and various online aliases and linking to the search results and was encouraging people to kill her father by linking to his web page.

So, Keith gets so worked up about me Googling a name and publishing the search results that he attacks me by name over the airwaves of one of the biggest radio stations in our nation's capitol - Googling is "stalking" in OlbyLoonLand - but hiring a private investigator to track down a woman he fantasized about in junior high school and then making contact with her is an "unobtrusive" way to "get the low down" on someone?

I know your a lefty and a KO fan but come on. You don't find that behavior a bit bizarre? Put another way, how many people do you know that have done that?

I find it bizarre and disturbing that you are investigating people you invite to post here.
I think Michelle Malkin is beneath contempt for what she did with those kids in Santa Cruz, and despite both of your protests that you were merely "publishing" publically available information, you know who your audiences are, and your intentions are transparent.
It's Rovian and not unlike leaking the name of someones wife, who is a covert CIA operative, for the purposes of intimidation. I'm disappointed in you.

If BOR or anyone who is the object of Olby's contempt would have done this (meaning anyone who is Republican, more popular or has better ratings), KO would have spent at least a week flogging it, complete with silly video, puppet theater segments and phony checks to buy any evidence he could use to discredit his enemies.(One exception: Lloyd Grove.)

Didn't he make Albert Belle "WPITW" for installing a GPS on his ex-girlfriend's car so he would know her whereabouts? Maybe Albert just wanted to see whatever became of her. Hmmm.

You think that Googling someone's name is the same as hiring a private investigator? You sound like you are well on your way to a well-earned OlbyLoon Warning Label!!!

My intentions were quite clear in connecting Marisa McNee with her aliases (I wrote about it) - to reveal to my readers and and anyone else who might care - that Marisa was/is a tremenous liar and fraud and an incredibly vile, foul-mouthed one at that.

What is really going to get you that OlbyLoon label is conflating Marisa McNee, Michelle Malking and Karl Rove. That's priceless.

Those "kids" you are referring to are political activists. Michelle Malkin didn't hire a detective to find out how their home phone numbers, they publicized their names and numbers themselves. And if you think that those "kids" and the rest of the communist frontgroup International ANSWER are upset about what has happened you are incredibly naive. Anyone activist group would die for the kind of free media they have gotten over the past week.

Michelle used those kids to fire up her readership, they used the phone calls they got to fire up their base and Keith used the whole thing to fire up his viewers. Wake up, blu. This ain't beanbag.

Robert,
Your picture just popped up again on the right, and I gotta tell ya, you bear an uncanny resemblance to John Wayne Gacy. You should use something that makes you less scary looking. Then when you start trying to imtimidate people you don't like by posting their personal information for your cyber-hynchmen to do what they will with, you won't raise suspicions.
That said, I'm sure you are a lovely person who enjoys flowers.

New movie from "Meltdown Entertainment":

"There's Something About Mrs. Rice"

Plot:

Keith Olbermann was a geek in high school, who dreamt of going to go to the prom with his Social Studies teacher. Thirty years later he hires a private investigator to stalk her. He lands TV and radio shows in the process, and ends up insane coweing under his desk with his penie caught in his zipper!

If my last post doesn't earn me a lable, then I quit!

Putting in the labels is work for me but you are right. I owe you a label.

I don't think you are really a loon...and you are not a KO apologist. It's tough. Let me see if I can come up with a special one just for you.

Robert,
I'm from Minnesota, where the Loon is the state bird, and would be a badge of honor to me.

Let's see Moonbats say Olby getting a private gumshoe to find some English Teacher he had a crush on. Not Stalking, No big deal.

Moonbats say Bill O'Reilly making Falafel joke (wasn't this about two years ago?) over the phone. Very Badd! Should be thrown off air. Should be thrown in jail. Should have every dollar taken from him.

I report you decide

Kool-Aid or Flavor-Aid, bats? (Here at Olbermannwatch we like to offer choice.)

Blu,

You have been given an EXTRA special honor. I have created a new label just got you. A "GullibaLoon" is a lefty who means well, can be reasonable at times but, sadly, accepts the left-wing drivel they read at face value and doesn't seem to know any better".

The good thing about being a GullibaLoon is that through proper education via Olbermann Watch, espeically through active dialog with our clear-thinking readers, it is still possible that you can recover and regain your common sense.

Oh, Robert,
That is so sweet. I think I'm gonna cry! Not to make more work for you, but wouldn't it be cute if you added an extra 'L' and made it "gulliBALLOON," because you thought I was full of hot air! And you could design an extry special graphic that WAS a BALLOON!. Thanks!

I can't do that. You have now convinced me that you are definitely a loon, it was just a matter of determining your species. Besides, by definition a loon is full of hot air so I covered all my bases!!!

pssssssssssssssssssssssssssss. Sound of air seeping out of me. Am totally deflated now.

I don't want you to take this the wrong way, but..
It's not you, it's me. I don't know what's the matter with me, I'm just not ready to commit, I guess.
And besides, I've started seeing another site, and we get along really great. We understand each other. We respect each other, even though we don't always agree on everything.
When I woke up this morning I looked at you and thought, "Who Is THIS? What am I doing here?
God, how much did I have to drink last night?"

We'll look back on this and laugh someday, you'll see.
Take care of yourselves.
And Robert, I'll get in touch with you, okay? Please don't come looking for me. I don't think my new site would understand.

"I'll get in touch with you, okay? Please don't come looking for me."

I wonder if that's what Mrs. Rice said to Olby when he called (25 years later).

This shows that Leftists have reasoning problems.
In their worl Christian Conservatives (I'm Libertarian) are a threat to this country. But Islamo-Fascism who want to impose Sharia on us are okay since they're enemies of this government. It would be funny, but our civiliztion is threatened because the 5th column these Jihadi sympathizers are.

Shouldn't O'Reilly Rules get a "Falafel Wingnut" label for using the Karl Rove "Liberals love terrorists" talking point? I understand this is a conservative site, but I was under the impression, at least from your Wikipedia episode, that you had a desire to be taken seriously as a critic. If so, making labels for people who's ideology you disagree with while leaving batshit insane comments from others just because in the end they vote for the same party you vote for does little for your site's credibility.

On the subject of the purpose of the post, Olbermann hiring a PI to find out what happened to a teacher he was in love with as a kid doesn't seem very creepy at all. It certainly doesn't compare with making falafel jokes (and by "making a falafel joke" I assume you mean repeatedly and consistently sexually harrassing and badgering a woman against her will, then paying her millions of dollars to settle a lawsuit out of court when it became apparent she has tapes to prove what a "Culture Warrior" you really are).

Like I said, I understand this is a conservative site, but whining night after night about how KO only provides "one" side of the story and then displaying the exact same behavior as a moderator reveals a certain modicum of hypocrisy that reflects negatively on the overall goal of your site.

Derek writes:

-- " . . .whining night after night about how KO only provides "one" side of the story and then displaying the exact same behavior as a moderator reveals a certain modicum of hypocrisy that reflects negatively on the overall goal of your site"

Derek, how much time did you spend thinking about the validity of the comparison between KK's nightly "news" show and a website specifically devoted to pointing out KK's bias? Do you stil not understand that KK takes heat on this site because he represents himself to be a "newsman", that his network holds his program out to be a "news" show and that KK claims to dish it out equally to conservatives and liberals? No claims are made on this site by the moderator that he will try to strike a balance between the favorable points of KK's show and the wealth of lies and disinformation and omissions that characterize the show on a daily basis. Do you understand that when a show's host touts his "credentials" as a "newsman" in the tradition of Edwin R. Murrow, that he is going to be subjected to criticism and ridicule when he so blatantly favors one side to the point of completely shutting out all other viewpoints that challenge his own orthodoxy?

On this site, the moderator has opened up access for pro-Olbermann posters like you to come here and say whatever you want in his defense. He has allowed not only reasonable pro-Olbermann posters to post here, he has even allowed pro-Olbermann trolls to have their say. The moderator has even invited one of your ilk to summarize the show's content from a pro-Olbermann viewpoint.

Derek, it seems to me that it is not enough for you that this site has a significant amount of pro-Olbermann content from supportive posters. You seem to expect that the moderator himself present content on this site that is 50/50 anti Olbermann and pro Olbermann.

In case you haven't figured out, this is a site with a viewpoint, just like, for example, Media Matters is a site with a viewpoint. Are you upset that Media Matters only presents "one side of the story"? Neither OW nor Media Matters holds itself out to be impartial, so you shouldn't be surprised that the moderator has an opinion about Olbermann and expresses it. The only hypocrite is Olby because he holds himself out to be fair to all sides when in fact his cheerleading for the political left is unsurpassed among current cable television show hosts.

Derek,

This is not a conservative site. As far as credibility is concerned our readers know which side of the track they're on and just saying so does not make it so.

In a recent reader survey we conducted 42% of the readers lablel themselves "conservative 39% label themselves "liberals"; 16% said "not sure" and 23% said they were baseball fans. Of those fans 41% were Yankee fans and 73% were Yankee-haters.

Is there ANY doubt that if Bill O'Reilly had hired a private investigator to track down some woman it would be suffecient cause to label BOR the WPITW, it would immediately be the subject of a Media Matters of America report and be added to the left-wing anti-O'Reilly talking points?

If you want to discuss credibility try acknowledging your hypocrisy in dismissing KO's bizarre behavior. In the meantime, please note that this is Olbermann Watch not O'Reilly Watch and confine yourself to relevant topics.

I would have to agree with the posse that thinks this clip is pretty weird... but then again this is the kind of behavior that makes KO the kind of guy he is - behavior that has no logical explanation.

So, Olby is what? 46 or so? That would make this teacher what? about 60?

Is this weird? or am I missing something? I've heard of going for older women, but this is almost borderling insane.

If Hillary Clinton gets elected will Olbermann become her biggest cheerleader and spew Clinton spin?

Robert Cox, why don't you publically challenge Keith Olbermann to a debate. If he declines, This will expose him for the coward he is!
If he accepts, you'll eat him for lunch!

Boy it would be great for C-Span. I don't know what would be better. Bob and Olby on stage. Or us and the moonbats out in the audience. I get first dibs on being the Kool-aid vender.

Better, If it happens I'll show up dressed as the Kool-Aid pitcher.

Patrick,

December-May romances are all the rage now, LOL. Olby said he wanted to go on a date with Julie Christie a few weeks ago (also on Dan Patrick's show).

O'Reilly Rules,

I was hoping Keith would try to debate O'Reilly when he had those debates on about two months ago. In fact, I wish all the O'Reilly bashers would have tried to get on his program, because I think he'd debate them on points, not personal attacks. And I'm sure O'Reilly would have permitted him on the program had Keith applied.

But alas, no Keith. I'm sure he did not accept Bill's challenge.

Well we know what happens to "friends" or "social acquaintances" of Keith's eventually. Just like John Gibson, Lloyd Grove, his assistant who now works for Grove, Tony Snow, Laura Ingraham, etc etc. Before too long you can expect to see Olby ranting on-air about how Mrs Rice is a stupid racist. If she's lucky, maybe he'll name her "worst person in the world"!

Hey everyone check this out!
I wonder what the Leftists will say to this!
Will Komrade Keith nominate these people for worst persons in the world.
I highly doubt it since these are his allies!

I think it's more than a fair point to say this site is run by conservatives when the moderators create 20 different derogatory labels for people with left of center opinions while simultaneously ignoring a poster who literally accuses liberals and democrats of being on the side of islamic terrorists. No matter who you vote for you have to be out of your mind batshit insane to believe that only republicans are interested in fighting terrorism.

Secondly, just because this is a conservative site doesn't mean it's without merit. I fully admit that Media Matters is a liberal site, while at the same time giving them credit for the job they do tracking conservative misinformation throughout the press, and in all cases they present as full case and provide the necessary context for their readers to make up their own mind. Similarly, while I am a fan of Olbermann, I have been able to learn certain facts about him and his personality that have given me a more three-dimensional perspective of him.

I wouldn't have bothered posting on this site if I thought it was just a bunch of crazy right-wingers who hate anyone that questions the President. It's clear that you guys are attempting to provide objective criticism of Olbermann, and it's understood and appreciated. Just don't tell me it's not a conservative site. Fox News has Alan Colmes but that doesn't make it fair or balanced in the long run.

Derek,
Notice I use the term Leftists, not Liberals or Democrats.
I'm pointing out the Hypocrisy of the left as they condemn the Christian Right but never the Islamo-Fascist. Don't tell me you're against terrorism, because that's not the point I'm raising. I'm refering to the ideology of Islamo-Fascism and it isn't limited to Al-Qaeda. There's also Iran, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, The Muslim Brotherhood and Hezzbollah.
The problem with the Left is they only talk about Al-Qaeda not it's ideological brothers.
I've debated many people on this site and they always seem to defend Iran and Hezbollah. But always attack the Christian Right as if they're a threat! Therefore I turn tables on the Left.

By the way there are plenty of Liberals who realize the threat of Islamo-Fascism Joe Lieberman and Christopher Hitchens come to mind.
I can understand criticism of Bush, but not the hostile attacks and Hitler comparisons. If you guys want to compare someone to Hitler look at the president of Iran. Wake up and realize that everything the Left stands for isn't threatened by Conservatives, Christian Right or Libertarians(I'm one), but by Islmao-Fascism.
Wake up Leftists wake up!

I won't get into a game of semantics with an idiot.

Liberals, democrats leftists, they're all different names for the same thing: a person who leans left on the political spectrum.

It's humorous that you list "Fox News" Democrat Joe Lieberman, a guy who thinks pro wrestling and pornography are threats to our society, as a good "leftist". Leiberman has made his career out of never letting his republican opponents get to the right of him on hot button issues.

If you honestly believe Christopher Hitchens is a leftist, then this conversation has gone about as far as it can go.

Using vague terms like "the left" or "leftists", and then using those terms to associate an entire ideology as allies of Hezbollah or Hamas simply because they don't see the geopolitical stage in ludicrously black and white terms is straw-manning an argument to a degree that only deluded nutbags like Ann Coulter really believe.

It adds nothing to the political debate, except to prove how thin your grasp is of the very movement you're all too ready to brand as consisting of traitors and America haters.

Derek, you're obviously a very ignorant man.
Look at what I stated, Joe Lieberman and Christopher Hitchens are liberals not Leftists. There's a big difference. Liberals are anti-Totalitarian and believe in the survival of Judeo-Christian civilization and liberal democratic forms of government.
Leftists sympathize with Totalitarian governnmnets like Castro or Hugo Chavez and defend Islamo-Fascism but attack Conservative Christians.

As for this staement:
'they don't see the geopolitical stage in ludicrously black and white terms'

That's why I attack the left, your hole moral equivalency is just plain stupid.
That's why I've given up hope for Western Civilization. With Leftist control of the media and culture it'll be only a matter of time before they control the government. Once that happens, Islam will overun Europe and America.
I've come to the conclusion that unless the US has a Pinochet like strong man that will crush the Left and defeat Islamo-Fascism all is lost.
The Islamic Thinkers socity is right, the banner of Islam will fly over the White house one day.
Of course it doesn't matter to the left, they'll just convert to Islam and accept the new order.
At Islam is foghting the evil oppresive Christians!
Right Derek?
That's why I'm planning to move to Australia, at least over there both the Right and Left understand the threat Islam is to the west!

Derek and all other Leftists read this:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060423/wl_nm/belgium_march_dc_1

Even the Euro-socilaist Belgians are waking up to the Islamic threat. Sadly their American compatriots don't care!

If it turned out Mrs. Rice was dating Bill O'Reilly, would they have to permanently retire the Worst Person in the World Award?

Ah, I see.....you're insane. I apologize.

As I said before, where is this man's "Right Wing/Nutbag" label? Or do the moderators for this "non-conservative" site only consider one ideology to be capable of paranoid fruitcakes?

This is hilarious. Isn't this precisely what you rail on Keith Olbermann about all day long? That he only goes after his ideological enemies and never points out the total lunacy of people who share his political leanings?

I await Robert Cox's reply, where he can either tell me A)whether he views O'Reilly Rules' comments as anything other than absolutely insane and B) why he isn't labeled as such like all the people who disagree with his point of view on Keith Olbermann are.

wow - a successful, nationally-famous person contacts his junior high teacher - that's awful. i'm sure if you contacted this teacher she would express her horror at being contacted by her now-famous ex-student. I'm sure she hated the 'hey, you were a great teacher, i had a crush on you, thanks!' conversation. Keith said this on the radio, so you know there was some lewd, unsavory motivation behind his efforts to get in touch with an old woman. Betcha it probably didn't make her day.

you guys are idiots. It may be hard for some of you to believe, but some of us don't frighten women the way you do.

As for puck - "Moonbats say Bill O'Reilly making Falafel joke (wasn't this about two years ago?) over the phone. Very Badd! "

wow - here's his joke:

Well, if I took you down there then I'd want to take a shower with you right away, that would be the first thing I'd do...yeah, we'd check into the room, and we would order up some room service and uh and you'd definitely get two wines into you are quickly as I could get into you I would get 'em into you... maybe intravenously, get those glasses of wine into you...

You would basically be in the shower and then I would come in and I'd join you and you would have your back to me and I would take that little loofa thing and kinda soap up your back... rub it all over you, get you to relax, hot water... and um... you know, you'd feel the tension drain out of you and uh you still would be with your back to me then I would kinda put my arm -- it's one of those mitts, those loofa mitts you know, so I got my hands in it... and I would put it around front, kinda rub your tummy a little bit with it, and then with my other hand I would start to massage your boobs, get your nipples really hard... 'cuz I like that and you have really spectacular boobs...

So anyway I'd be rubbing your big boobs and getting your nipples really hard, kinda kissing your neck from behind... and then I would take the other hand with the falafel thing and I'd put it on your pussy but you'd have to do it really light, just kind of a tease business.

AND HERE"S THE PUNCHLINE:

f any woman ever breathed a word, I'll make her pay so dearly that she'll wish she'd never been born.

I'll rake her through the mud, bring up things in her life and make her so miserable that she'll be destroyed.

And besides, she wouldn't be able to afford the lawyers I can or endure it financially as long as I can.

And nobody would believe her, it'd be her word against mine and who are they going to believe? Me or some unstable woman making outrageous accusations?

They'd see her as some psycho, someone unstable.

Kool-Aid or Flavor-Aid, bats? (Here at Olbermannwatch we like to offer choice.) - you're right - it's ME that's drinkin the kool-aid.

This isn't some former student that goes back on campus to say "hi" to a few old teachers. This is a 40-something man who hires a private investigator to track down this teacher. Google wasn't working that day? Come on. This is borderline deranged; its at least an un healthy obsession, that 20 some years later, he is trying to find this teacher. It is WEIRD.

Secondly, does KO ever do any of his own research. You never see him out chasing a story; he's only on location when he's watching spring training in Florida. He seems to just sit behind his desk and read what his staff (or Kos, or Media Matters) dig up for him.

Derek,

I am on my way to Las Vegas but will try and post a thoughtful reply when I can.

Derek,
It's you leftists that are insane and suicidal. Your attitude is encouraging the Jihadis. they even mimic the Left's talking points in their audio tapes. It one thing to have a disagreement. It's another to deny Western Civilization is in danger. But you don't care to you guys Zarqawi is just today's version of Che Guevara and Hezbollah is just another progressive organization. What ignorance. You can't even dispute what I'm saying, but that's because you don't even understand it!
