Regarding the upcoming movie about United Flight 93: It looks like it will be an excellent film but Countdown is a little behind the times with questioning whether it should be shown now or not. Within the last year there have been two major movies about Flight 93 on television. They were both very good films of what may have happened on that flight and were done with respect and also with the cooperation of some of the passengers’ families. Actually, the minor controversy that Countdown is seeming to stir up about this new movie just doesn’t make much sense to me. It is a good thing to be reminded from time to time how heroism comes in many ways and places.

Tonight’s Countdown would not have been complete without another Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes “bashing” and disgusting references to their baby as a “bastard “ by the ever delightful Michael Musto. I didn’t think they could sink much lower but sure enough there was the very crude bit about Lindsay Lohan and her panties (or lack of) and repetitive showings of the one still shot. To make their “Keeping Tabs” complete, there was the Sharon Stone Basic Instinct II) bit. The picture looks dreadful but there is no denying that Ms.Stone is looking great and may yet rise above this kind of drivel.

So that’s some of what made their cut for “news” tonight. I am getting perplexed lately though as I realize that if I tune in (along with the many other Olbermannwatch viewers) then I am helping to up the ratings for Countdown. What to do...what to do.

Keith is the only NEWS so I watch from start to finish. He is the only news program that is unafraid to report the truth about all the crooks in the DC beltway reguardless of which party they maybe. If it seems that Bush is bashed more than the Dems are then it must be that there are crooks in his party.

Heh heh heaugh ho ho. It is too fun to watch them wriggle like wroms on a Nevada parking lot. Grat post there, wriggler. Keep on trying.

Wroms and grat. They're not misspellings. They're secret Leftwing code words.

Who gets the oil? Where have the jobs gone? Has Cheney oiled his gun yet for Gen V? Immigrants and terroists are taking over the country and living a life of luxury. Are they Christian? Or are they faking being Catholics? Are they in the war against Jesus like the democrats? Don't they know that Tom Delay is Jesus? Oh, wait. Did Jesus kill life in any form like the bug terminator?
No prob. God is thrilled that John McCain has come around and now knows that Jerry F is a prophet.
Excuse me, while I throw up. So Olbie makes a joke or two. WE need a laugh as so many people die every minute of the day under the Bush Administration.

I think I hear sirens Jill! Quick -- hide before they throw the net over you!

As for Thom, who the Hell knows what frequency he is on. I do know he probably watches movies on a betamax and eats cat food.

Factoryqueen, something tells me you are employed by or in cahoots with KO. Nobody believes what you wrote -- not even KO's mother.

Here's the siren, Tom DeLay, your moral leader and a true Christian has announced that's he's not running again. Oh, gosh, those secular humanists have done their dirty work.

This is sad. Because I don't march the march with the neocons, I've not been allowed to announce that your leader Tom Delay, the bugman and great Christian, with as much compassion for human beings as he did for cockroaches, has decied not to run again. I wonder why?

I apologise. Jill

I apologise. Jill

How is it that such a worthy host attracts such a crappy audience of young dopes?

Has Tom Delay ever starved his wife to death over a 14 day period and fathered 2 bastard children? Hey Jill Perry, I'm a Catholic and I'm infuriated with the illegal Hispanic invasion. Am I a self hating Catholic or Christian? But you're right, the great newsman Keith Olbermann skewers anyone outrageous, including Democrats, such as .... ,........., .........,.......,.......,..........,........., and finally......... And all of that tonight!He is indeed an equal opportunity agitator. Who is in worst shape? Countdown losing ratings faster than Bill Clinton in ..... well, in any situation, or the Washington Post losing subscribers to the Washington Times? It's too close to call.

It's freaking hilarious how Olby considers himself such a thorn in the side of the Bush Administration. I'm sure W this very minute is planning to do a "Nixon" and have Keith eliminated. But he better act soon before Countdown gets bigger than Cindy Sheehan's movement. ( May God forgive me for that blasphemy against the world's greatest mother. Next to Hillary.)

Was Farenheit 911 released to soon after the attacks? You know, I think it might have been. And I seem to recall all those lefties saying it wouldn't be right for the movie to affect the election. But it did. For the good guys!

And for Thom (and for the love of Pete, please drop the h when shortening your name) I say to you, sir: Alabaster dandelion apricot werewolf burrito Lawrence Welk Days of Our Lives Final Four Basketball Sammy Sosa Chocolate Milk Dictionary Back Massager Vacuum Cleaner. Put that in your crack pipe and smoke it. Ah, there's that sweet sound. A family of 13 just dropped Olbermann and the Washington Post for O'Reilly and the Washington Times. Oh, and the sound of Ben Bradlee agreeing to donate his face to the Amerian Saddle Museum.

Now for a Limerick

There once were these liberal house fraus
Who would gather for their liberal pow-wows.
They'd never be late
So they'd tune in at 8
For the man with those crazy, dark eyebrows.

How disappointed do you think Olby was when he found out what the "chasing tail" segment really was.?

KfK

Heh, you fell for my code words.

I find it quite telling how the terms "fascist" and "nazi" are passed around by leftists when trying to silence Christian conservatives. You lefties do realize that Hitler and Mussolini were virulent anti-Christian, don't you? And attention all wiccans, they were died-in-the wool pagans, with Musssolini envisioning a return to Ancient Roman glory complete with lions eating Christians, to Hitler's well known love of the ancient Norse paganism. Many a rabbi, priest, and minister went to their deaths in the concentration camps. And both dictators were heavily into abortion( or if not caught in time, infanticide) for the offspring of the "unfit" as well as euthanasia. Rather, it is the proponents of these two hideous practices that are in such luminous company. So when Falwell invades Ethiopia and makes off with an obelisk or two and when Dobson insists on being called "Generalisimo" then be sure and sound the alarm. Now I know that some cute people think they can twist and change definitions of words.( See sex vs. gender, gender having to do with grammar) but it ain't gonna happen. Nazis and Fascists are nationalists who put the race above all else. THAT'S THE DEFINITION. And there is no room for religion. So continue to call pro-lifers, traditional marriage folks, and gunowners fascists. It will mean you'll continue to be idiots.

To my fellow conservatives, the next time you see a person with a Che Guevara or Mao Ze Dong t-shirt on, ask them if their Hitler shirt is in the wash.

Since you have invoked Godwin's Law, Patrick, you automatically lose the argument.

Thanks for playing. Crying towels are down the hall...

Rep Jean Schmidt (R) was a "worse" person--something about credits for a college degree.

Maybe the fact that she claimed to have two bachelor's degrees when she only had one? Her office claims she has enough credits for the second, but unless the institution granted her the degree she could have 500 credits and it would mean squat.

And then there's that email from an ABC producer; you will recall the leak was denounced by Olby as a White House trick.

It's still a "non-story" - you guys and maybe the freepers are talking about it. It was in a grand total of 18 newspapers, and only two "biggies" (the N.Y. Times and WaPo) covered it. Sorry, the gears are grinding but nothing's moving...

Now Tom DeLay - that story's like putting a 24-ounce steak in front of a man who hasn't eaten for a week. Keith is gonna have a meal of it tomorrow.

Will you hold other cable news types to the same standard you hold "Crazy"(because crazy is spelled with a c. If you think you are funny or creative replacing it with a k please finish your middle school education) Keith. I don't see you complaining about Bill O'Reilly's, Sean Hannity's, or , Tucker Carlson's bias approach to broadcasting.

"I find it quite telling how the terms "fascist" and "nazi" are passed around by leftists ... Nazis and Fascists are nationalists who put the race above all else. THAT'S THE DEFINITION."

there's a bit more to it than that, sweetie.
nazis/fascists have the following sytemic qualities in common with the bushies/neocons: propaganda lies, illegal spying, war-mongering, hegemony, secret prisons, jingoism, self-righteousness, rigged elections, torture. just to name a few. you don't have to kill 6 million jews or hate christians to be fascist ... it's enough to be an advocate of lying propaganda, pre-emptive wars, illegal spying, and torture like the bushies.

"I don't see you complaining about Bill O'Reilly's, Sean Hannity's, or , Tucker Carlson's bias approach to broadcasting.
"

That's becuase those shows always have guests representing opposing viewpoints. Got it?

To mankind Olby is a disgrace
With attacks on Mrs. Bush and Ms. Grace
Only a cowardly boy
Would attack women for joy
Dick saw orange but shot the wrong face

hmm, let's see, which would i prefer? a show (with opposing guests) that chronically lies as a transparent mouthpiece for an inept, corrupt, illegal administration. or a show (without opposing guests) that chronically exposes a lying, inept, corrupt, illegal adminstration.

> It's still a "non-story" - you guys and maybe the freepers are talking about it. It was in a grand total of 18 newspapers

OK, then according to the Trekkie Standard of Ethical Journalism, it's permissible to lie about a story and then not correct your error if it's only appeared in 18 newspapers. For future reference, why don't you tell us the parameters of your ruling, so that we'll know. Can Olby falsify news that appears in 20 newspapers? How about 30? Is the cut-off point 35? Above 35 and he has to tell the truth?

This is a really weird website. Bush and Cheney are lying war criminals. Why do you waste your time arguing about whether or not Keith Olberman says as much or FoxNews doesn't or Tucker Carlson or Sean Hannity agrees or whatever. Even the founder of Delta force said Bush has been dumb/foolish enough to start world war three. You folks are as stupid as Bush is. http://www.dailynews.com/entertainment/ci_3641046

Republicans always get all hot under the collar whenever the word "fascism" is used to describe the Bush administration. They think you have to BE A HITLER to be called fascist. Not at all.

You simply have to believe and advocate 1-12 above, like Bush does. Remember when they first took office? Bush and his crew were so proud of calling themselves "The CEO Presidency". They stopped doing that when Kenny Boy from Enron got indicted. "Fascism should more properly be called corporatism, since it is the merger of state and corporate power." -- Benito Mussolini

I hear ya. And the funnyiest thing of all is that you know in your heart that Christ is a far, far-left liberal. And most of everything the neocons, and conservatives, and fundamentalists, and republicans, and christians stand for would enrage Christ. Or to quote Max von Sydow, "If Christ ever came back, when he saw what was being done in his name, he'd never stop throwing up."

2.DISDAIN FOR INTELLECTUALS.

3.UNITY AGAINST REAL, OR IMAGINED ENEMIES.

Unity against a real enemy? Damn those fascists allied troops in WWII.

4.OBSESSION WITH CRIME AND PUNISHMENT.

Who DOESN'T care about putting criminals behind bars? Oops, forget I asked.

5.SECRECY DEMANDED.

I don't care how our government catches terrorists, just that they do. Maybe all government databases should be made public on the internet.

6.RIGHTS DISSAPEAR.

I've heard this a billion times. What rights did you have 10 years ago that you don't have today?

7.RAMPANT SEXISM

Condaleeza Rice could be president and the left will still accuse the Republican administration of being racists and sexists. Wouldn't it be funny if she were president. Libs would self destruct due to a lack a hot air to blow.

8.MILITARY GLORIFIED.

That's what keep my head, and YOURS on our shoulders.
9.SYMPATHETIC CORPORATE MEDIA.

More journalists describe themselves as liberal than rather that conservative BUT that has no effect on anyhting.

10.GOVERNMENT CORRUPTION GOES UNCHECKED.

Tell Tom Delay.

11.CORPORATIONS BECOME GLORIFIED.

Fascism or capitalism?

12.AND LAST BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST....ELECTIONS STOLEN.

6.RIGHTS DISSAPEAR.

DISDAIN FOR INTELLECTUALS

If the founding fathers were around they'd cut off your balls and stuff 'em down your throat while hanging you from the highest yardarm.

Oh I forgot one. Violent hate filled and empty posting by rightwing kookbags named Dave. Geez how could I have forgot that one.

"If the founding fathers were around they'd cut off your balls and stuff 'em down your throat while hanging you from the highest yardarm." -Jeanie

That would be a violent and empty post by a leftwing kook.

UH OH!!! Spaghetti-Oh! Remember that commercial?

There once was a far left wing post
That implied on my balls I would choke
she's bound to have doubts
when balls with such clout
are even to big for her throat

That would be a violent and empty post. It is a good thing that I'm above that:)

Just for the record - Mussolini was the Father of the Fascist movement and he described it as a merger between Business and Government. There was no religious element to it. He started his movement by taking control of the press and told them to report only good news about the economy. Incredably even as their wages were slipping, people supported him for years. He was right that the economy was growing, but only the rich were doing well. They were doing super well in fact. It took 8 years for the people of Italy to discover how he had built up debt at the expense of the middle class and the poor and in the end, the people caught up with him, hung him and his girilfriend upside down, cut off his genitals and stuffed them in his mouth and then shot him. I agree that Bush and company are not Nazis. Fascism, I'm not so sure about.

If Bill Clinton was President on 9/11 and he just sat there looking like Forrest Gump for over 7 minutes after being told the U.S was under attack. How many of you neo-cons would have spoke up on his behalf? Fair question-just wondering.

The problem with the Bush administration isn't the economy. A lot of people talk about our economy lagging under Bush. I would argue that the unemployment rate, the growth in the economy, and the fact the hundred of thousands of people come here and FIND jobs, despite the fact that a lot of them can't speak English and are here illegally indicates the strength of the economy. As far as the tax cuts, freeing up money for people spend and invest creates growth. Some point to the Clinton years as proof you don't have to cut taxes to stimulate the economy. However the internet, still nascent when he took office, has as much and probably more to do with the growth of our economy during the 90's than Clinton. The reason I don't support raising taxes is not that I have a problem with paying taxes,I'm just am reluctant to feed any giant bureaucracy. The less money the govermnent has, the less money it will waste.

As far as the deficit, and most conservatives will agree, the problem is out of control spending. What actually worries me more is the leverage that China is gaining on us.

As far as the gap between the lower and middle class, how do you close it? I don't have any solid ideas myself.

Can you impose laws that say company execs or the CEO can't make more than 10 or 20 times the lowest salary of his employee? Inrease union memberships? Inconme Redistribution?

When Reagan came into office and lowered the tax rate on the rich, it caused a lot of problems (growth of the debt). I didn't like him much, but he was smart enough to raise it two years later and that is when our economy improved. Bush senior lowered it again and the country went into a ressision again. One of Bill Clinton's first acts was to raise the Tax rate on the upper incomes. They can afford to pay a higher rate and they receive sevices from it (subsidized air travel, help negotiating contracts with foriegn entities, etc.). Oner of Bush's first acts was to lower taxes on the rich. Look at our economy now. The sad thing is, the rich also lobby Congress to give them "tax incentives" that result in them paying lower taxes that the middle class. This tax break has no affect on you unless you make a million a year. I'm not talking about re-distribution, just asking that the rich pay their share.

Instead of trying to shoot the messenger, what about Zinni? You don't like what he's saying?

Zinni?

God, it sure is fun watching the rabid righties have a cow over Keith O. All this fuss over what? The endless beating of the chest and the blind hubris regarding ratings is extraordinarily entertaining. If Bill O'Reilly has such whopping ratings (which the blogger points out in just about every post), then what is all the fuss over Keith?

I guess Bill O'Reilly calling Fox Security over a guy who just happened to mention Keith's name just isn't over the top enough for you. But then again, part of the reason Bill O'Reilly gets his high ratings is because of individuals like myself and others who watch him because it's some of the best surrealistic comedy on television today. And O'Reilly doesn't even know it.

Damned entertaining.

The rich do need to pay ther share, but what is their fair share? That is probably where we disagree. What I do take issue with is the amount of loophole that the rich use to their advantage. That in itself could solve a lot of problems. Most of the times, in my opinion, it isn't the system that is the problem but rather how much it is abused.

PS-My earlier posts(my poem)was a response to an idiot(s). I have a rule: Ask or say something stupid, and I will give you a stupid response. Be reasonable and intelligent, and I will respond likewise, even if I disagree.

> If Bill O'Reilly has such whopping ratings (which the blogger points out in just about every post)

He does? I just went through our entire March archives and the two or three mentions of O'Reilly's ratings in the entire month were in response to KEITH OLBERMANN misrepresenting them on The Hour of Spin. Does that amount to "just about every post"? Um, no. If you're going to lie about something, try to make it something that isn't so easy to disprove.

Calling Keith for his conjecture and opinion is ineresting, what is your opinion of BO's lying and arrogance?

As far as Bill's rating go, it is sad so many oeple have to be told what to think, any serious look into Bills "thesis" leave you lacking substance and in need of a bath.

Bill plays on basic emotions. he is a liar and a looofe freak.

OK, then according to the Trekkie Standard of Ethical Journalism, it's permissible to lie about a story and then not correct your error if it's only appeared in 18 newspapers.

No, but if all a correction will do is revive for what all intents and purposes is a dead story...

This story is no more. It has ceased to be. It's joined the bloomin' choir invisible. It's an EX-STORY.

Besides, I'm still waiting for Bill O'Reilly to correct all of his fabrications and falsehoods about the "War on Christmas" (now extended to the "War on Easter"), which are more damaging because they continue to perpetuate within the news cycle.

OK, so then, if I understand you, and correct me if I'm wrong, it's permissible to lie about a news story if you wait until it dies away and becomes an ex-story. Then you don't need to correct it, or tell the truth about it. All you have to do is wait it out until the next talking point comes up. The initial false report just ceases to exist, metaphysically vanishes from reality, and Keith is once again immaculate. Right.

The guests provide no opposition
On the nightly Meltdown transmission
Keith banged his head
Now his brain must be dead
He's under his desk in the fetal position

>Zinni?

Zinni, as in General Tony Zinni, former Commander of US Central Command, a stone-cold sober guy, if ever there was one. Take a look at what he said on "Meet the Press": http://www.crooksandliars.com/2006/04/02.html#a7762

Diver, you're out of the kiddie pool now so go over to mommy and get some floaties if you want stay in the big pool. All those characteristics you so dutifully listed are also part of Communism( which is international socialism as opposed to national socialism), as well of theocracies ( See Islamic countries) France after the French Revolution and during the reign of terror, and not a few monarchies. By the way, Fascism and Nazism are kissing cousins of communism, despite the bitter fighting between the two during WWL. Benito and Adolf were both communists as young men but as they grew older, they became increasingly provincial and racial in their socialism. That's why the pact to divide up Poland came so naturally. Hitler said as much. That's for all the commie lovers visiting our board.

To Jeanie, do you go down on you father with that mouth? To Trekkie, I see you have invoked your own law with another fantastic posting. Do you have a collection of commmunist dictator t-shirts? I hear you can get the Pol Pot in in Khmer Rouge Red.

Seriously Olbylovers, this small, petty man is not worth your adulation. He is a coward of the highest order and his show amounts to a left-wing mutual masturbation session. Come on lefties, you know what I'm talking about. If he can't handle a disagreeing voice ( 'cause he'd pee his pants ) then do everyone a big favor and sign off with one final good night and good luck. And we'll respond " Good riddance, Keith the orange tool man."

Finally, fubu, I see your Zinni and raise you a Tommy Franks. As Trekkie would say thanks for playing. Lying towels are down the hall.

And Diver, I don't know if you are a man or a woman, but if you call me sweetie, you better damn well be a chick.
