"COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN" (8:00 P.M.-9:00 P.M. ET)
Host: Keith Olbermann
Topics/Guests:
What happened? Was the Yankee game rained out tonight in The Big Apple? Oh, it was. That must be why Keith Olbermann showed up for "work". KO claimed, without evidence, that the gay marriage amendment was designed to "distract" from Iraq, adding that it was an attempt to "pander to the base". He quoted the parents of Matthew Shepherd, then segued into Haditha. This gave Olby the excuse to kick off his interview with Bush-basher Wilkerson using another of his patented leading questions:
Is Haditha some sort of inevitable, if unplanned event, uh, er, as the result of an administration that declared the Geneva Conventions irrelevant?
KO broached the subject of leaving Iraq, which Wilkerson didn't think was a good idea. Olby shifted to WMDs; Wilkerson said there had been skepticism but the CIA was sincere in believing the intelligence was correct, and did not "cherry-pick". Maybe it was "psychological group-think", he opined. Keith turned to Valerie Plame, the talking point of last resort, where Wilkerson was more accommodating, going on to say the military is in "desperate shape". Of course Larry bashed Rummy; anyone who defends the Secretary will have a long wait before they get to sit in the Countdown chair.
#4: Election analysis by the doubly discredited David Shuster. It was no surprise that Slippery Shuster immediately made excuses for the Democrats losing the old Duke Cunningham seat, leaving out the fact that the Dem candidate's percentage of the vote was pretty much the same as what Kerry got in 2004. Not exactly a huge shift there. Slippery rapidly moved into Tom DeLay and scandal investigations. And despite new revelations in the case of William Jefferson (D), he didn't even get a mention. Wonder why.
After oddball, a new baseball scandal, then another of the night's constant teases for his upcoming Ann Coulter bash. "Outrage pours in across the country", bellowed Keith. Is this anything like the continuing, growing outrage over Bill O'Reilly? We checked Yahoo news about that again tonight, and got the same four results as last night. But it's growing. Keith said so.
In the #2 slot, it was back to another favorite Olbermann theme: Attack the Media! But in this case, attacking is a good thing, because it was Krazy Keith doing the attacking, and the writer being attacked was Ann Coulter. (All those teases were to keep blue blog readers tuned in well into the second half hour.)
With a graphic reading "SHAMELESS", KO referenced the continuing, growing outrage over Malmedy again (yeah, right) then ran a clip of Tucker Carlson arguing with Coulter (carefully avoiding where Tucker agreed with her). He quoted from "a written statement" from the leftist 9/11 widows, without telling whom they gave the statement to: the far left Crooks & Liars. Then the infamous, deplorable Keith Olbermann moved in for the big finish:
Back to my allusion to the nightmare of having to defend Ann Coulter at a sanity hearing. That was inappropriate, because it was insufficient. Imagine, in fact, defending her on judgment day, trying to find her soul.
Preach on, Reverend Olbermann! Hallelujah! Olby Be Praised!
For the rest, we got Catherine McPhee (still no retraction of Olby's fake news on this front), Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Brittney Spears...the usual Voyage to the Bottom of the Barrel. Meanwhile, nothing in the "news hour" about the UN criticism of the US, or further developments in the Canada terrorism investigation.
That's The Hour of Spin for this, the 110th day of the Keith Olbermann CoverUp. And the magic number is still 5.
What a riot hearing Olbie blast Ann Coulter for her criticism of the 9/11 widows, when K.T.O.(being the sanctimonious hypocrite he is) attacks O'Reilly nearly every day.
Your right Dollar. I'm mean Bush is a busy guy he is fighting a war in Afganistan and Iraq, Listening in on our phone conversation, preparing for hurricane season, leaking the names of CIA members, going after nearly 11 million illegal immigrants, keeping gas prices in check, using his line item veto power,uniting the world through diplomacy and protecting my marriage from homosexuality. Of course the last one is what I'm really worried about.Dudes marring other dudes, dudettes marring other dudettes this cannot stand it must take precedent over all other problems the nation is facing. Besides, Bush would never use a "distraction" on the American people. He is protecting us. I thank God everynight for him being president.
I can't really defend Dave Schuster but I will say one thing at least what he said on the air matched up to his transcripts.
Hey, I wonder why Johnny Dollar's boyfriend KfK hasn't posted yet... Oh wait, I know why! KfK was featured on Dateline NBC tonight!
Here's another one of those awful the "leftist 9/11 widows" getting all uppity and such. Which one of you wants to take the first swing?
Widow Bashes Congress!
Do you think Ann has a problem with this widow too? She wants guns on airplanes. Ann would approve so should she be slandered along with the other widows? I think she might be the one that has appeared at different Repub events too.
The fact is Coulter's comments were dispicable, indefensible and, on top of that, pointless. I can't believe you didn't see that JD. You guys don't have to defend everything a conservative does do you?
Hey friends! Glad you missed me!
I was busy. You see, I was at Rick Kaplan's resignation party. It was a real blast!
KO partied hardy from under his desk. He actually did a funnel through his lamp chord desk-hole, and he peeked out not ONCE but TWICE!
Kaplan took it all very well. He hardly cried at all. Arthur Sulzberger, Al Franken, Jimmy Carter, Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez all sent beautiful flowers and condolences. Al Jazeera called with a job offer, and Katie Couric sent Rick a Teddy-Gram.
I just sat in the corner laughing while pretending to cry. Poor bastards don't even realize they have an evil wingnut fascist in their midst!
As for Olbermann's performance tonight, more of the same. I just wish the Yankee game hadn't been rained out. Perhaps we need to send Olby season tickets for an indoor sport?
To kick off tonight's Meltdown, Krazy Keith uttered this gem: "...the definition of insanity is doing something over and over again in hope of getting different results"
Does 94 attacks on O'Reilly count as "over and over again"?
"Yo baby your right!!!!!!!! kfk was busy in a yahoo chatroom getting busted by Dateline NBC.
When the going gets tough, the tough get desperate! I'm sure the "Dateline" show you weirdos are obsessed with put the fear of God into you all. Perhaps there is some projection involved in your bizarre rants? No doubt the show also killed Olby in the ratings.
Jack,
Just caught a replay of Olby for a couple of minutes and saw his speech about looking for Coulter's soul. The guy frightened me. I do think he is insane.
kfk are you suggesting that capturing sexual predators is weird. if that makes me a weirdo than put me on Oddball. I don't want to be normal if capturing sexual predators is weird. I can't believe your defending those people.
OK Dannyboy! You freaks obsess about a show I didn't see, projecting your weirdness on others, and now I am defending people from a show I did not see at all? You guys sure are a bunch of screwed up bizarros!
I whole-heartedly agree with Ann Coulter and all of my fellow republicans here.
I hate it when someone uses the death of a loved one as a way to make money and gain noteriety.
Like Marc Klass, who has parlayed his daughters (Polly) kidnapping, rape, and murder into book-deals, lecture fees, and god knows what else.
And what about John Walsh is recieving all of the aforementioned monies that Marc Klass has recieved after his son was a victim of the same sort of crimes.
And yet he has done even better. He has built a multi-million dollar TV show as well.
Then we have the Brown family. They have taken the death of Nicole Brown Simpson, and capitalized big time.
Yep, the profiting from the horrible deaths of others is just awful. It should be left to the politicians and the pundits.
And the use of should be limited to election campaigns and the justifications to go to war.
One more restriction, only us republicans can use it without it being immoral. If democrats or anyone that would oppose us tries to use it, they are the scum of the earth.
WOW!!!!!!!!Just a typical repulican that is honest. They are for sure going to shut this site down.
Sorry KFK I know you were not defending sexual predators. But you did help me make a point. Most anti-Olberman people attack him without watching the show. They are told by other people that he is of the left wing. You have learned a valuable lesson my son. Don't defend something you know nothing about. I know you would never defend sexual predators or that you are one my apology.
Jeez! Where to begin!
I have learned that your posts and your friends' posts are bizarre, but little else.
As far as commenting on Olby without watching, I read transcripts and trust Mr. Dollar. He has never lied to me before, and his summaries are always on target. I would watch his show if I could, but it is such a train wreck that I find myself turning the channel within a minute or two. From what I see, all the commenters on this site are very familiar with Olby, and for the most part have watched at least some of his show.
Don't read transcripts KFK they can be "edited for clarity" I too can quote transcripts then comment on them with great zeal. You can get a good look at a butcher's ass...no wait it has to be your bull, anyway don't follow everyone so easilly. Find you own truths. Fiction can be fun but I find the reference section much more enlighting.
PSS. TommyBoy and Ace Ventura get credit for all quotes in this posting.
Liberals make me laugh. If you disagree with them, then you are a bigot, racist, homophob, or in KFK's case a child predator. You can always count on a liberal to bring out the lowest common denominator.
Crash,
So far they have called me a racist (multiple times) and written racist comments using my name, called me a homophobe based on nothing, and now they have claimed I defend depraved people from a Dateline show that I didn't see. Now I know how Karl Rove feels -- effective and smart!
KFK! leave those children alone! Just kidding. I have argued with you numerous times and frankly disagree with you on about everything. However, in fairness I have yet to see you make a racist or homophobic remark.
Karl Rove is still evil by the way.
"Sorry KFK I know you were not defending sexual predators. But you did help me make a point. Most anti-Olberman people attack him without watching the show. They are told by other people that he is of the left wing.".....
Dannyboy, nice name aside, you are new here and you show it. Not only do we watch Olbermann and know him for who he is, we actually know how to spell his name. I suggest you learn a little bit about the Orange-Faced Sports Guy before you assume you know about others here.
Obserever Dan...keep on observing !!!!!!!
Sorry KfK. I don't think you are racist, homophobic, or a sexual predator. I was giving you a hard time all in fun, no hard feelings. Observer Dan. Sorry, about the spelling mistake. I didn't mean make the generalization that everyone on this website didn't watch Countdown. Just you and Kfk. Kfk admitted it in his post. It is time for you to do the same. The truth will set you free friend.
Think Kaplan's replacement will fire Krazy Keith because practically no one watches his show? I'm sure the Krazy One will blame Bush and O'Reilly (and in O'Reilly's case he will be correct for once).
KfK wants to play patron saint when he's the target of name-calling, yet by simply looking back at posts he has made he tosses around "anti-American" and "pro-terrorist" or "islamo-facist" to describe Olbermann and some deviant posters on this site.
Keep reading Mr. Dollar’s biased reviews without watching the show; I doubt you would come to a differing opinion, even with the facts out in front of you. And transcripts for the show don't come out until the day after the show, if KfK does fact checking through the transcripts I'm a monkey's uncle.
Johnny Dou$hebag -
'KO claimed, without evidence, that the gay marriage amendment was designed to "distract" from Iraq, adding that it was an attempt to "pander to the base".'
And can you claim, with evidence, that this issue is NOT just a distraction?
When you've got clods on the TV trying to say gay marriage is worse than the War on Terror and Iraq combined, don't you think it's time to start wondering about the subject matter?
How about questioning why gay marriage only seems to be an issue as an election approaches?
Probably because you'd find out what you've been so studiously trying to avoid: gay marriage is a distraction to keep our minds off other more relevant issues.
And, c'mon Dou$hie, your being a blatant ideolog is coming through loud and clear. You're defending both O'Reilly and Coulter for some pretty reprehensible things they've said. Why are you doing that if you aren't just a GOP lickspittle?
Any real objective person, regardless of ideology, can see that what those two have spouted is completely indefensible. But not you, oh no. Johnny Dou$hebag is right there to make sure that he never wavers on his overblown vitriol that passes for criticism of Olbermann.
This was the kind of thing I was talking about when I first started posting here about having some kind of objectivity to give your criticism weight. Y'know, find something Olbermann has done that you liked or agree with and/or be able to look at people like Coulter and O'Reilly as fuck-ups when they spout embarrasing bullshit (which each of them does on a regular basis).
What Coulter has said/written about the Jersey Girls is completely inexcusable, but I knew I could count on good ol' Johnny Dou$hebag to try and find a way to make Olbermann look bad for correctly chastising her (your attempt failed miserably, by the by).
This site lacks all relevance and is just a shill for GOP talking points couched in 'criticism' of the Countdown program (something you hide behind when someone's observations paint you into an untenable corner). Your 'analysis' is shitty at best and at times is laughably ridiculous in the lengths you'll go to try and make Olbermann look bad.
And that, my friend, is Dou$hebaggery of the highest order.
