"COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN" (9:00 P.M.-10:00 P.M. ET)
Host: Keith Olbermann
Topics/Guests:
It's 8 PM and no KO. Guess even MSNBC wasn't willing to let Olby play "anchor" for the Bush-Blair press conference.
-----
Yes, since his last try was nothing short of disastrous, Olby was not permitted to anchor the live news conference. But he did show up at 9:00 pm with Big News: Dick Cheney may testify at the Scooter Libby trial. Since Cheney himself said that publicly three months ago, some will wonder why this is big news. But as long as it keeps The Great Leak Case in the Countdown headlines, that's all that matters.
Craig Crawford trying to explain constitutional issues is like asking Floyd the Barber to analyze quantum physics. But Olbermann's Brain giggled his way through some nonsensical commentary about executive branch power encroaching on the legislative. We don't recall him complaining when the legislative branch was trying to encroach on the executive to get papers from the Cheney energy task force. Oh, that was different.
Brain's entire contribution was fatuous, but not as much as Keith's latest Konspiracy: the press conference with Blair was just a klever kontrivance to distract attention from...from what? It was never made exactly clear, but it had to be something.
After the usual dross, celebrity fluff, and oddball videos, the Media Matters Minute continued in its tradition of being the most predictable segment in all of television. Yes, Bill O'Reilly was worst. If you want to know the details, just check the website, or wait 24 hours for Media Matters to put up the free PR video of Olbermann's Attack #93. Suffice it to say that it all hinges on Krazy Keith not knowing (or pretending not to know, or flat out lying about) the differences between the tenses: past, present, and future.
This would have been a good opportunity for Olby to apologize to Matt Drudge. Drudge reported that Al Gore drove multiple cars to a movie premiere, and Olby made him a worst person runner-up, alleging that Drudge just made it all up. Today Drudge linked to the Reuters report. Oops, looks like it wasn't Drudge who make it up. Another KO personal attack proves wrong, yet there was no correction aired, and there will be no correction from Olby on air or anywhere else, ever. Krazy just doesn't believe in corrections, because he doesn't believe in telling the truth.
With sweeps over, comedian Brian Unger will replace comedian Keith Olbermann on Friday, plus Monday and Tuesday of next week.
That's The Hour of Spin for this, the 97th day of the Keith Olbermann CoverUp. And the magic number is now 7. --J$
guess u were in a rush to see Sean & Alan , Keith knows his fans and won't let us down , his show was on live at 9:00 pm
Just saw on the MSN MSNBC message board Brian Unger is standing in for KO's extended weekend Fri, Mon and Tues.
Krazy Keith is truly a loser
To like his show, one must be a boozer.
For no sane man can stand
One who's so damned man tanned
Plus Countdown can be quite the snoozer.

Cable doesn't do "sweeps" - only the main over-the-air networks do.
Yeah yeah I've heard that before. Yet Keith waited until sweeps were over to take his three days off. We report, you decide.
I find this site to be lame. It should be shut down immediately.
Meltdown's a predictable show
Each night he attacks Mr. O
Krazy Keith's discontent
Is a boring non-event
It's no wonder the ratings are low
Toby Keith just called me and said he wanted to make sure I thanked Natalee Maines for him for launching him into super-stardom via her big mouth. So there. Toby says thanks, Natalee.
Isn't Congress just setting up a huge argument for executive privilege with this "separation of powers" nonsense? Want to see the energy task force papers? Separation of powers. Oversight of the CIA? Hearings on the Iraq intelligence information, Mr. Conyers? Separation of powers.
This should be a study case in checks and balances: the FBI (executive branch) went to a judge (judicial branch) and got a search warrant to seize items in the office of a member of Congress (legislative). Two branches examining the wrong-doing of a third.
The whole thing passes the legal test: Jefferson is not immune in that he committed a felony accepting the bribe. This is just garbage, and shows the ego of Congress in that they think they can get away with this crap claiming separation of powers.
Drudge got nailed trying to pass off someone else's stuff as his own, something he does all the time. He had the story up on his site UNATTRIBUTED, then was forced to take it down because he couldn't back it up.
Now he's got the incorrect Reuters report he stole it from in the first place to try to prove he's not a "longtime schmuck".
So.....
He's guilty of plagiarism, at least, and he's had to out himself as a thief in order to prove HE didn't make it up, someone else got it wrong and the infamous deplorable Matt Drudge lifted it.
What a sucker.
Defend him all you want.
Actually H&C continues to go downhill as it trots out the same tired lawyers and experts to present 20 - 30 minutes on Duke lacrosse every night. In fact, H&C has become unwatchable. Lately I've been watching Scarborough.
So, MSNBC has some potential after Krazy Keith leaves. Ditching the bow tie was a good start for Tucker Carlson. Now, if he'd only ditch Max Kellerman and replace the Air America woman wearing the Salvation Army wardrobe with someone like Wendy Murphy, the Situation would improve greatly.

It was easy to predict that Krazy would run with the "new" Cheney news! The MSM published a flurry of crap on Cheney testifying during the day Thursday:
"Cheney may be called in CIA leak case"

Olbermoth just flew up to the MSM lightbulb and tried to hump it (unsuccessfully, of course) for twenty minutes. Eventually, he'll fly inside a light fixture and dessicate.
He's the host that most seem to hate
Each night a one-sided debate
Meltdown is mind rot
Keith's face... apricot
Opposing views make his ego deflate
Actually, I think Tucker has the best show on cable news. He's staunchly against the Iraq War, but yet has on competent guests who challenge his view on nearly every issue. I come away from that show feeling better informed, which is far different than I come away feeling from Countdown.
If they put Tucker in Keith's timeslot, I think that he could actuall cut into O'Reilly's ratings a bit.
Politics aside, what caught my attention was the Deplorable Ones abject disgust with "American Idol" and the "Type of People" who watched the show and made it the success it was. Is the Orange Faced Fool not the poster boy for all things elite? Entire familys sat together and enjoyed American Idol. Average American communities threw there support behind a local son or daughter accepted into the contest. Millions of people who don't know the name "Olbermann" and couldn't care less about his views planned their Tuesdays and Wednesdays around "Idol" veiwing.
Surely, the fact that Idol, at least in the Central Time Zone, crushed everything else on television including "The Hour of Spin" is not the motivation for Keiths disgust. I doubt that because FOX is the network behind the success, Krazy Keith was made doubly nauseaus.
No, I attribute the fact that Olbermann hates the show and is bewildered by it's viewers to his inherent elitist nature. Poor Keith just doesn't have a clue what makes the regular folk tick.
I'm convinced now more then ever that KO reads this site. I mean hasn't O'Reilly been attacked ever show this week? He apparently wants to get to #100 ASAP.
Whether you agree with them or not, you have to admit that O'Reilly, Carlson, Matthews and Scarborough have guests that challenge their viewpoints.
Olbermann, on the other hand, only has guests that are in lockstep with his views.
I guess even Krazy Keith realizes that in a battle of wits, he's defenseless.
What's up with Keith's eyebrows? They're huge. Like the guy from Dune, except Keith's are bigger.
Well said,BW2221. I'm a big fan of irony. Always have been. The irony that I've really been interested in lately are the folks who defend Olbermann not having any opposition on his show by posting such statements on a site that's dedicated to exposing the cowardice and hypocrisy of Keith. Oh, and his lies, too. What would these lemmings ever do if they were banned and only posts critical of the orange baboon would be allowed. In other words, it would be a site after Keith's own kowardly heart. No more pro-Olbermann, neo-fascist postings. After all, they add nothing to the national discourse, plus it makes us all queasy.
Dan: Good observation about KO's American Idol comments. I thought it was only because it was on Fox but of course his elitism in almost all areas would account for his big put down of the show. How to explain his love for the "everyman" sport of baseball, though? I have reached the point where I really can't sit though Countdown except for brief intervals but I wanted to see his comments about American Idol and knew for sure that they would be negative. We are lucky here in Northern California as there is a new program to watch in the same time slot as KO. That would be the Glenn Beck program and so far I have found it entertaining, informative and very funny.
Matticus Finch: I certainly agree with your comments about the Tucker Carlson program. The removal of his bow tie seems to have helped, too.
and
Patrick: Do you had any late breaking news about the locker room hi-jinks in Secaucus? Perhaps by now John Dean, Craig Crawford and a few other "special" people have been guests for the shower fun.
I think Observer Dan has hit the target exactly.
One minor but telling thing from last night's show. Sometimes in the middle of the commercial breaks, Keith comes back on to preview his next segment, then the commercials continue.
During one of these such promos within the commercials, Keith mentioned the upcoming segment about American Idol. He punctuated it with a really snide comment about how Taylor Hicks, the winner, is appropriately named.
Keith has a way of making the Dixie Chicks look gracious.
The above post to Dan, Matticus and Patrick was posted by Gloria but somehow came up as "Anonymous" and I would never do that. Sorry.
Well, if you enjoy irony, then you must find interesting the right`s use of the term `Islamic Fascists`. Bush used it again yesterday in his joint press conference with Tony Blair. The right`s use of the term is meant to imply that Islamic terrorists are dictatorial, which is true. But Bush`s use of the term, along with the right-wing echo chamger, is chock full of irony.
Main Entry: fas-cism
Function: noun
A political philosophy, movement, or regime that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.
Not only is this administration the most dictatorial in history, the most regimented, and the most intolerant of opposition, but the term fascism has also come to mean an oligarchical combination of stateism and corporatism -- and this is by far the most corporatist administration in history. Hell, they even proudly called themselves the CEO Presidency before the Enron/Accounting debacle. Fraudulent elections, domestic propaganda, gerrymandering, cronyism, corruption, kowtowing to the corporate agenda, not to mention pro-war, pro-nationbuidling, pro-rendition, and pro-torture -- these a--holes are the real fascists. Or i guess i should say you a--holes.
`Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power.` -- Mussolini
There is a whole NETWORK full of bias over at foxnews and you're complaining about one show on MSNBC.
Foxnews has been a Cancer on the cable airwaves for ten misinforming years.
You should set your sight a little to the right if you want to find a plethora of misinformation.
Whoa, Dave, that's waaaaaay to heavy for this site. Try a limmerick instead: they're fun, they rhyme, and a six-grader can do it!!!!!

Right Chemist! You uberlibs are soooo deep! After studying your comments closely, I have distilled their essence:
"Fox news sucks! Olbermann rules! Bush is a fascist!"
Wow man! My head is still reeling from the truthiness!
"The Great Leak Case in the Countdown headlines, that's all that matters."
yeah they hould just let that die. I mean who cares if the VP may have broken the law.
"That's The Hour of Spin for this, the 97th day of the Keith Olbermann CoverUp."
Just out of curiosity what exactly is Keith covering up? I hope it's not the kennedy assasination.
Dave, what's with the potty mouth,dude? I think that your excellent arguments can stand on their own and don't need to be embellished with profanity, for heaven's sake.
So, fascism has a convenient elastic definition these days, eh? It's also a oligarchical combination of stateism and corporatism now? Did you learn that from some left wing professor at your college or did you just pull that fresh out of your random thoughts rattling around upstairs? So, is George W. Bush some sort of Christo-Fascist or something? Sorry, buddy, but it's unlikely Muslim fascists and Bush are both fascists at the same time. Anyway, I prefer to call them Islamo-Leftists since they seem to be beloved by the left. Your well reasoned arguments for the Bush Administration being fascist are not new to this board and quite frankly it's getting a little tiresome.
I suppose Bush will outlaw conversion from Christianity and make it punishable by death? Yeah, I guess at the rate Bush is going, that sort of thing is right around the corner.
Again, Dave, watch the language...... a--hole.
Hi Gloria. As a matter of fact, I do have some fun info about what's happening on the set of " Sparticus." From what I can gather from the cryptic messages my Secaucus mistress has been relaying to me, the group shower has now become, how do the kids say it, played out. The place to be now is the hottub, which is located in what's called the " Gladiator" section in the MSNBC building. Apparently, the rules are extremely strict when it comes to interacting with Keith. First, all women are herded off the floor. Then, all the guys get in their loin cloths. No loin cloth, out with the women you go. Then, everybody throws some cold ones back.... you know, some wine coolers. Finally, off come the loin cloths and into the hottub they go, all 25 of them. But it's a big hottub, about 6' by 6' or around there. Keith then puts on his snorkel gear and goes " exploring." There's usually some crying but it's usually by the new guys. Of course, all the veterans are there: Milbank, Musto, Shuster, even Brian Unger has been promoted from the second shift. Which brings me to John Dean and Craig Crawford. They recently fell out of favor with Keith for suggesting some women join them so they haveto get their soak on after the first teamers leave.
As for the group shower, it has been disinfected and as far as my mistress can tell, is only used by Joe Scarborough, who because he prefers to shower solo, has earned himself the nickname " THE PURITAN."
Unger isn't exactly replacing Keef. They are just trading places. Keef will be "working" under the news desk just like Unger does the rest of the time.
A man's gotta come up for air sometimes...
Spiritualized, how about some examples of Fox's right wing bias. Pretty please. Just saying it doesn't make it so. Fox is the #1 cable news network by far. The top 5 rated cable news shows are all on Fox News Channel, fair and balanced, the most trusted name in news, the #1 cable news network. It's not the #1 cable news network because it is incredibly biased. You do realize that liberals watch Fox News, don't you? I said this to Anonymous, and he failed to grasp it, and I'll say it to you. On all of the top 5 programs on the #1 cable news network, Fox News, you haveto admit that liberalism and conservatism are equally represented. Try and provide proof otherwise. Log some time watching the shows, even keep and exact head count if you want to.
Now, apart from those five shows ( O'reilly Factor, Hannity and Colmes, Greta Van Susternen, Brit Hume and Shepard Smith ) that leaves what, the news updates that pass by on the bottom of the screen, the news readers, the part timers on the weekend? Please enlighten me, good sir, on this American success story you so crudely refer to as a cancer. Fox News Channel, the #1 cable news network, is the cure for what ails ya, be ye conservative or liberal.
Thanks for the update, Patrick. The hot tub scene is almost too vivid but very funny. I can hardly wait for the full length movie ("Secaucus Gladiators") to come out. Even now, I am mentally trying to cast this one with Hollywood actors.

You're quite welcome, Gloria. You know, I've been thinking about casting Peter Gallagher from " The O.C. " as Keith Olbermann in " The Last Eunuch Gladiator" simply because of his outrageously bushy eyebrows alone.
Johnny and Robert,
I have been thinking a little (Ok quit laughing) and I have been thinking about my contribution to this site (OK Seriously quit it) and I wanted to thank you guys. I wanted to thank you guys for putting up with me. I know, more than anyone, that most people look at me as this colossal idiot that symbolizes all that’s wrong with America; but you guys never make me feel that way. Instead of laughing me off this site, as you should have. You both tolerate and accept me. When I post my nightly Keith limericks instead of grimacing or flushing with embarrassment, you guys have cheered and encouraged my work and I appreciate that. Now I know privately you have both looked at me at some point and thought, "There walks Lenny from of mice and men" but that's ok. I know I'm not the sharpest spoon if the drawer. Still, not since I rode the short bus to school have I ever felt so loved and accepted. Given the fact, that I truly bring down the level of debate on this blog, given the fact that I leave most people with the impression that Republicans are sister humping rednecks, I can’t help but feel overwhelmingly grateful to you for letting me do this. If ever an opportunity presents itself I fully intend to pay back your kindness. In the meantime be well and if you ever come to my place of employment the oil changes are on me!
Sincerely yours,
Patrick.
What an incredibly original post, Anonymous! You truly do have a million ways to say " I concede!"
