Hell hath no fury like a gossip columnist scorned, as Keith Olbermann is finding out this morning as peruses today's Lloyd Grove column in The New York Daily News - "It's 'Putdown With Keith Olbermann'":
Olbermann ...apparently has precious little respect for [Rita] Cosby. "Rita's nice," Olbermann wrote to a fan from his MSNBC E-mail account, "but dumber than a suitcase of rocks."
...a Cosby intimate gasped when informed of Olbermann's E-mail. "That's incredibly disappointing," he said.
and then there's this...
In his E-mail, Olbermann was also dismissive of then-MSNBC President Rick Kaplan, who left the network last week with six months to go on his three-year contract.
"And Kaplan?" Olbermann wrote to his fan. "He was the producer of that special last night - now known as the Kanye West Show."
More room in the phone booth for Keith.
UPDATE: predictably, it's 9:23 am and still no mention of Grove's column this morning on TVNewser, just as there was no mention of Olbermann's "I answer to no one" crack about Dan Abrams.
UPDATE: just as predictably, Brian posted on the Grove column an hour after OlbyWatch pointed out that he was once again ducking anti-KO media stories.
UPDATE: The Cable Game: Cosby criticism just more sucking from the "energy vampire".
Oh Boy Oh Boy Oh Boy!
Lloyd not only plants but twists the knife -- I wonder why he wants Keith fired?
This attack is particularly devious. Remind me never to piss off Lloyd Grove!
There goes Kowardly Keith attacking women again. He's definitely got some deep-seeded psychological issues. A bizarre theme of attacks on Nancy Grace, Barbara Bush, Ann Coulter, Rita Cosby, former female employees...
Hey Keith, try picking on someone your own size... preferably a man.
SING ALONG WITH KRAZY KEITH!

Artist: Keith Olbermann
Song: My Most Hated Things
Billy and Rita and Lloyd Grove and Grace
Ratings that hit like a fist in the face
Subway doors hitting my head 'till it stings
These are a few of my most hated things
Kind hearted people and happy sweet poodles
Shrinks who proclaim that I've lost all my noodles
Positive news and the feeling it brings
These are a few of my most hated things
Details and hate mail and honest opinions
Facts that conflict with the views of my minions
Strong-minded newsmen without hidden strings
These are a few of my most hated things
When the blogs bite
When my brain stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my most hated things
And try to make them feel bad
[Repeat all verses]
Ahhhhhh. . . my finest work!
Sure makes me want a falafel!
funny stuff
I'm watching Bush's Rose Garden speech while typing this. He said, "When he walked out (Prime Minister of Iraq)I didn't fear him".
Have you ever seen Rita when she appears as one of the Friday "Hotshots" on Hardball? She IS dumber than a box of rocks. I mean, she'd be fine for Fox News, but not real news.
I don't know if there is anything going on with Abrams and Olbermann, but Olbermann said Abrams is "capable". "answers to no one" is what I would expect from any news show anchor.
Keith Olbermann (almost every night):
"More stories my producers force me to report."
Keith Olbermann in interview:
"I answer to no one."
Which, exactly is it?
"Which, exactly is it?"
Excellent point Scott.
hit - Why am I not surprised that you can't tell the difference between "speaking truth to power" and "being a jerk". I don't have any particular feelings for Kaplan (whom I've met), Abrams or Cosby (who I don't know at all) but is it really good office politics to be be so dismissive of a guy who constantly boosted your show (Kaplan), your new boss (Abrams) and go around insulting a fellow news anchor (Cosby) in "fan emails"? Forget office politics, is that really a good way to treat other people?
KO is famous for mistreating staff and insulting colleagues so this is hardly a surprise but only serves to highlight why, as Tony Snow famously noted, you could fit Keith's friends inside a phone booth.
Unternmenn strikes again. Why is it that the SpinClown understands how to operate everything and is the penius . . . er, genius, but can't scare people into watching his shows? He destroyed Fox Sports; he has helped destroy MSNBC twice; Dan Patrick prevented him from destroying SportsCenter. The guy is the most worthless slime in all of the news media, yet he has all of the answers. What an idiot.
It reminds of a statement by Roger Craig who suggested that losing pitchers can't be all that bad because they keep convincing people to send them out there every 5 days. On second thought maybe Geef's right about people like Kaplan being stupid because they keep running him out there every 5 days.
Taking cheap shots at colleagues... no class
Soon he'll be out on his ass
His schtick is tired
Dan says "You're fired"
Meltdown is sophomoric and crass
KO is like TO (Terrell Owens) without the talent. Toxic and leaves a track record of failures and broken relationships in his track. Also, he is stupid. Only an imbecile would send out negative, catty comments to a fan from his personal inbox. A functional psychotic. Does Keith have any healthy relationships with women? Rita Cosby is an infinitely better reporter/investigator than Keith. She is known for big "gets" and a tireless worker. Rita has to think on her feet and be creative. Keith has to read teleprompters and insert snide remarks to placate his Dailykos base. At this point, I actually feel sorry for him. He is in way over his head and he knows it.
Let's not forget Krazy Keiths take on Meredith Vieira. This guy does not have a healthy attitude towards the opposite sex.
A lot of people have called Olbermann a lot of things, but I can't remember anyone calling him sane.
Told you some embarrassing emails were about to surface. There's much more where that came from.

nice circle jerk you folks have going today. lock step. lock step. freedom`s on the march!

I LOVE how much some people read into words they seen written in a gossip column. Do we know the context in which Keith said he answered to no one? Was he smiling jokingly or did he have a stone straight look on his face? When columns don't say what exactly people said it's easy for things to get muddled (for example did Olbermann say about Abrams: He's capable, very capable...etc.). KO called Rita dumb, so? Does anyone here ever listen to Don Imus?
And if we're going to start taking Lloyd Grove opinion pieces about KO seriously we might as well start believing that KfK is non-partisan. Grove has a grudge with KO even more so than any right-winger on this site.
Nonfactor, you make a good point, in that we don't know the context in which the statement was made. But in this case, it was in an e-mail, to a fan (not a close friend, presumably). And in light of the comments he made about Abrams and Carlson this week, it does not reflect well of Olbermann.
now linked by Drudge......everyone who is informed will now see it. Every newsroom in America constantly checks Drudge...on-air apology maybe? At minimum, Keith's wings are going to be sheared and he'll be feeling the heat. A tough week gets even worse! Sorry Keith, but people like you get exposed now. Good night and Good luck!!!!
Me thinks perhaps Rita rejected the bonehead's advances.
Why I will never use Google again:
Do a search for "news ratings msnbc fox"
First three hits-TVNewser, Daily Kos, common dreams...
on yahoo-you get wikipedia for the first two.
So one search engine directs me to politcal sites, while the other sends me to an encyclopedia...
I'm placing a large 'put' bet on google.
I listened to Russert on the way home last night (yes on Hannity) - talking about his father,his book and the son/daughter father relationships. I also watched Russert grill Pelosi, and other libs as well as conservs. In my opinion THE most respected journalist in the biz. Then, on the same "news" network, there's Opie. 90 attacks on O'Reilly, so far left Moveon.org & Media Matters are trying to bring him more to the center, and now he bashes Crosby. I mean based on his actions there's seems to be a valid argument that there is some kind of disorder present. I have to admit, I tune in to watch - because the great Opie train wreck is going to come - and I don't want to miss it live. Scientology actually might help this guy
Dan Rather is starting to get concerned for Keith's mental health.
Don't forget about Suzy Kolber and Lisa Guerrero, two more women he's verbally attacked.
And he thinks Rita Cosby is the dumb one? He could have said that Rita's show was dumb, but nope, not Olbermann. And there are more emails just like this one out there somewhere? Holy Cow. Let's hope MSNBC decides to make Olbermann's vacation a permanent one.
He attacked Suzy Kolber? This is war.
I almost drove to the meadowlands to punch Namath in the face when he was groping on her.
Any chance you can illuminate the Suzy Kolber/Olbermann story?
Here's great theme - how would Opie report on his own demise - using his old Rove rhetoric. Maybe as follows:
Keith:
"Do you think (fill in name ...- Howard (Fineman), David (Schuster), (you're a liar O'Donnell), etc) that by now Keith has so completley humiltiated, I mean his poll/ratings numbers are dismal, and there is a clear indictaion he may be even losing his marbles, do you think he can ever really work again in this profession, I mean - given that he has lost almost all credibility - do your think Rove, I mean Opie, will be able to ever be significant in any capacity again.
Howard, David, You'e a liar
"No Keith, I just don't see that happening. "
IIRC, I believe that I heard somewhere that the lady (Rita) is fluent in seven languages. Hardly an indicator of stupidity.
Sorry, I was wrong. She is fluent in English and Spanish and proficient in five others. I still think my point stands, though.
Given Kieth's inability to work with women, see: Viera, Kolber, and now Cosby...
Is it more accurate to describe him as a misogynist or as sexist?
The high opinion of gay men, regarding Kieth, seems to lend credence to the discussion.
Krazy Keith - a miserable person most people can't stand whose show has horrible ratings. It's gonna be fun watching this lunatic self-destruct. They just may be taking him off the set in a straight-jacket soon.
what`s the Kolber/Olbermann story? any others? how did Krazy Keith get the bad rep for mashing the staff?
What's the frequency Shuster?
You know...it could've been worse. Olby could've said Rita uses those rocks as throat lozenges.
Paul - When Olbermann worked at ESPN2 he was very very very very cynical. He made many comments about how he didn't like the people he worked with and I think something about his executives. The issue with Kolber was (and I'm not sure about this) that Olbermann was simply nitpicking (as many men were back then) about there being a woman covering sports. He didn't say anything about her like Andy Rooney, but he was blaming the problems of the network on her.
Once he figured out that his comments made her cry he was very sorry. He wrote an article about it in which he apologized, not only to Suzy, but to all the people at ESPN2.
---
And on topic. I don't really see the problem with what KO is reported to have said about Abrams and Carlson. He was commenting on Abrams saying he was capable (really not much information) and Carlson in jest about his fight with John Stewart. Sure, KO will probably have to resolve any conflict with fellow hosts, but I don't think calling Rita Cosby dumb (which is a laughed about quality she has) is anything career threatening or even worth much speculation.
Let me get this straight. Rita Cosby is fluent in two languages and proficient in five others and a mediocre sportscaster thinks SHE is dumb?
Keith should take a long hard look at his ratings. He's in last place. His fans number in the dozens.
Message to Keith -- your cheap shots only serve to reveal you as the insecure, lame, last place phony that you are.
>And on topic. I don't really see the problem with what KO is reported to have said about Abrams and Carlson.
Then you should go to work and say things like that to your boss Nonfactor. Just walk in and say, "Mr. Teenage 7-11 Manager, I think that Mary is stupid and sucks at making slurpees, and Carl dresses funny. You are capable at running the store, but I don't answer to you!"
The trend that seems to be apparent is that "progressive' Kieth really isn't.
He has denigrated women in media on three very seperate, but documented ocassions. Two happen to be co-workers. This has gone on for several years. You'd think he'd have learned from the Kolber case, but given his recent statements regarding Cosby, his hubris seems to be getting in the way.
Keith may even believe that he is unbiased, but judging from his strong support and citing by media matters and air america the reality is far different than Keith presents.
I have a feeling that his resentment of women, which he has no problem publicly expressing, is part of his neurosis.
Correction:
He has denigrated women in media on 'three' very seperate, but documented ocassions.
Actually four- Kolber, Cosby, Viera, Guerrero...
There are probably a lot more, with women not given a public forum.
Hey Nonfactor:
After reading your last entry,it seems as if you're willing to justify not only his irrational, overtly biased and cynical "newscasts" (which you've proven each and everyday) but now you justify his boorish, insensitive behavior towards women, people from the South, co-workers, and managers. Did I miss anybody? And to completely dismiss every disparaging remark he has made towards others that are outside the political boundaries is well...inexcusable.
Nonfactor - the perfect handle.
Not a factor on this blog or probably anything else in life.
Stay tuned. I have it on good authority Grove may have some juicy stuff tomorrow.
`Nonfactor - the perfect handle.

Let's not forget the cowardly, malicious shots he gave Katie Couric on her way out the door!
Rita has gone to Iraq has she not? Rita went to New Orleans. Rita in short has been a real reporter, a real journalist. You can make cracks all you want about her voice or the sometimes tabloid nature of her show but she at least leaves the studio on occasion. She's not lazy. And she's anything but dumb. And I hope Olbermann finds out first hand how nice she really isn't. It's high time a woman set Olbermann straight. Maybe if he weren't running around with twenty-something year old women he'd have time to actually concentrate on what he was saying instead of shooting his mouth off.
By the way--where are the Olby defenders? Moonbat convention?
I don't see where in my post I was justifying what Keith said. Even Olbermann himself thinks the comments he made were unnecessary; just read the salon.com article.
And the Britney Spears/ Katie Holmes/ Angelina Jolie obsession, the constant remarks about Ann Coulter's appearance (not to mention the "pirate" picture he puts up every time he mentions her; that's objectivity for you).
Why does Keith Olbermann hate women?
Why does Keith Olbermann hate America?
why does Keith Olbermann hate small dogs and children?!
why does Keith Olbermann have a funny sounding foreigner type name?!
why does Keith Olbermann desecrate America by wearing flag-colored boxer shorts?!
If no one watches or hears the program, does Keith Olberman really shit in the woods?
Your blog about Keith Olberman gets more traffic then Olb's news show.
Does the site author shit in the woods?
I only shit at home homebase.
If I travel, I can wait.
Charmin-Ultra allows for mission to be accomplished.
Keith has made disparaging remarks against several women, especially those over 40, on Countdown or on DP's ESPN show - for example, Sharon Stone, Heather Locklear and Meredith Viera. This guy appears to have misogyny problems. I remember during one of his interviews, maybe it was the PBS show, where he said he is still in therapy to figure out what is wrong with everyone else. LOL.
Gee, if this e-mail incident really happened, I'm sure ESPN can't wait to sign Olby to a big, fat radio contract. Yeah, right.
Someone should check if Olb's parking space was recently given to Rita Cosby as a reward for ratings.
I have a hunch that Rita's got that nice spot under the eucalptus tree while Keith has been moved to "C" lot, right in the section of the parking lot nicknamed "the griddle". Be sure to wear gloves before you grab that steering wheel Keith.
BUSH ON ELECTIONS: REPUBLICANS WILL WIN
WASHINGTON - President Bush predicted on Wednesday that Republicans will maintain majority control of the House and Senate this November despite polls showing voters favor putting Democrats in charge.
`I believe we`re going to hold the House and the Senate because our ideology is regressive, ineffectual, and intransigent,` Bush told reporters at a White House news conference.
`Just like we did in 2004 and 2000,` Bush continued, `we`re gonna rig the Diebold voting machines and discourage minority voting in Florida and Ohio. Then we`ll scare the bejesus out of the voters with as many divisive, vacuous talking points as possible. You know ... 9/11, the War on Terror, 9/11, gay marriage, 9/11, immigration, and 9/11.`
Has Keith really made disparaging remarks about women over 40? How ironic is that since KO is pushing the big 50.
Maybe we should refer to him as Keith Older-man.
Drudge has a developing story blurb posted, about NBC execs meeting to discuss the publication of more (damaging?) e-mails. For what it's worth...
O'Reilly is known to say " I'm just lookin out for the folks." Olbermann is known for his abject disdain for " the folks" ala those fools who watch and enjoy American Idol with their families, etc. Is it any wonder why people with a liberal bent gravitate towards Olbys snide, elitist personality?

I think that the snide, elitism is what pushes people to disdain Geef so much. I am right-of-center, but I listen to people whom I believe are probably left-of-center because I like their shows--Dan Patrick without Olbermann (though his is primarily sports related) for instance. Geef believes that he knows everything and every one else is some inferior, inbred moron that just fell off the turnip cart. He thinks this though he hasn't succeeded anywhere he's been.
Plus, his show is so overtly biased. Say what you want about Fox News, but I have never seen a news broadcast on that channel led off with such a blatantly partisan story as the one about Coulter and the Republicans last week.
Olbermann has made repeated disparaging remarks about women of every age.
Yeah...Drudge has this...
"NBC EXECUTIVES MEET OVER MORE OLBERMANN EMAILS SET FOR PUBLICATION, SAY SOURCES... DEVELOPING..."
Sounds like the sharks are in the water. I know KO loves his vaction time (and sick time) but one has to wonder if KO's vacation was timed to be off-the-air as these emails hit the streets?
This all may amount to nothing but clearly there are more than a few folks with an axe to grind with regard to Keith. Perhaps with the current changing of the guard some folks are looking to seize the day and either knock KO down a peg or two - or knock him out of his anchor chair altogether.
Thanks for the "Joe" who posted earlier and gave us a heads-up on this.
I would love to see Rita walk up to Opie and kick him right in the balls. Hey who is Non Factor? Is it one of Opie's staff members? He seems to know every details of Opie's life. For somebody that despises this board so much he sure does spend a lot of time here. I wonder if MSNBC knows he is surfing the net during working hours? Hmmmmm.
Anyone who's seen my few posts know I'm a Countdown fan. However, this attack on Rita was uncalled for. Oh well...
I hope Keith apologizes, though he probably won't.
Poor Rita.
What balls?
Maybe he gave his resume to his pal Al Gore hoping to find a new job and a new home in the DNC.
The insults being tossed around here are sub-4th grade level.
>Kick him in the balls
>He doesn't have any balls (LOLOLOLLOLOL)
Yes, one should make sure one's insults are up to par before posting -- on that Nonfactor and I both agree. I suggest clever wordplay with the prefix "Olb" or "Olber" as well as liberal use of alliteration. Some of my best work has involved song parodies and the invocation of mad libs. The full frontal insult can be effective if used tastefully. Always keep in mind your audience and always remember, "with hunchbacks one may well speak in a hunchbacked way!"
Exactly.
KO is Barry Bonds without the Talent....
when Keith goes, how about transitioning to "davidgregorywatch" he is not on as much as Keith but has some real good bias and opinions that can be exposed...
"when Keith goes, how about transitioning to "davidgregorywatch""
Oh, why half-ass it?
How about the "AnythingThatsNotFOXNewsWatch"?
I mean, if Keith goes... then it's on to David Gregory... then Anderson Cooper... then Chris Matthews... then Charlie Gibson.
Just get rid of everyone you have a problem with. It almost worked for Hitler. But, I'm sure your principals are much more just. Right?
Exactly.
James,
You're my favorite. You couldn't go one day without a nazi analogy or a racist slur.
"It almost worked for Hitler."
Those of us who rail against liberal media bias are just like Hitler. How progressive of you. Old tricks are the best tricks. It is precisely for that reason, that you will never see media bias or a journalist's use of adjectives and inuendo to inject his own commentary on the subject he is "reporting" as showing bias.
I am not saying that this doesn't happen at Fox News' Special Report, because it does. It certainly insinuates to the right. In that timeslot, however, there are 5 others that do the exact opposite. I would say a current 5 to 1 slant towards liberal bias and a 40 year history of viewing events through the eyes of liberals is reason enough for you to feel safe in your own indoctrination.
The reason Gregory, Olby, Gibson, Schuster, and even Matthews (to a lesser degree) deserve scrutiny is because they represent themselves as objective reporters of fact. People like O'reilly, Hannity, Carlson, Scarborough, Colmes don't. Because MSNBC uses Matthews for special events like election coverage, he gets this scrutiny as well, probably unfairly. When I watch "Hardball" or "The O'reilly Factor", I know I am going to get an opinion from the host, in fact the tease into the show tells us this much (especially in The Factor's case). If they would just tease "Countdown" with: "Keith's got a problem with President Bush, and Republicans are evil, so stay tuned for commentary from only the 'left'," there would be no real reason for this site to exist.
If they would just tease "Countdown" with: "Keith's got a problem with President Bush, and Republicans are evil, so stay tuned for commentary from only the 'left'," there would be no real reason for this site to exist.
Crash are you kidding me? If Olb blue flagged his show like that there would be a Keithwatch.com , a leftiekeithsaid.com, an Olberfueher.com, a Marxnews with Keith Olberman.com , and a CommiedownwithKeithOlberman.com ; Olberman would be everyone's favorite example of whats wrong with the main stream media.
As it is you could put a spotlight on any of the news shows of the big three or CNN or Msnbc as an example of whats wrong with media,but keith and company use the herd effect to avoid crouching tigers like the proprietor of this blog.
If he put out a shingle saying "Official Liberal Pundit" he would be Dixie Chicked in a heartbeat.
Papertiger,
You miss a vital point. "Newscasts" should contain news, not opinion. Keith needs to be honest and call his show something other than a news show or suffer the consequences. This site is active because Keith is a propagandist and liar. If he were to become an honest propagandist and liar, the site would lose much of its appeal. You won't see me on "Frankenwatch" or some other site about openly liberal broadcasters.
James,
You are one sick puppy! You realize that you are lumping everyone who supports this site into a nameless, faceless group, and calling us all evil. Now who did that? Could it be . . . Hitler? Would you like us all to be eradicated Heir James?
THIS JUST IN FROM LLOYD GROVE! READ IT AND WEEP OLBYITES!
"Principles Keith can swear by"
Subtitle: Keith Olbermann's vacation isn't going so well.
6/15/2006
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/gossip/story/426796p-360015c.html
Keith Olbermann's angry E-mail responses to critical viewers included broadsides against Bill O'Reilly and Ann Coulter. Olbermann apologized for his messages.
He was forced to apologize yesterday after more of his E-mails found their way to my inbox and exposed the host of MSNBC's "Countdown With Keith Olbermann" as insulting and frequently obscene in an acrimonious exchange with two viewers who taunted him.
Olbermann's antagonists, who asked not to be named, repeatedly claimed in their June 8 E-mails that dead Al Qaeda terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was Olbermann's "hero," prompting the television star to advise: "Hey, save the oxygen for somebody whose brain can use it. Kill yourself."
After I forwarded that and other E-mails to an MSNBC exec, {wish you hadn't attacked Lloyd's assistant much Keith?} Olbermann wrote: "I apologize to anyone who might take offense at my part of this correspondence. It goes without saying that I should not have replied to these abusive and hateful E-mails, {abusive and hateful . . . like your show?} but I wonder how many of us could receive literally hundreds of them {well, I wonder why Keith?} questioning our patriotism, religion and ethnic origin {nice try -- shouting "racism" won't work for you Keith, as you are white!}, without succumbing to the natural wish to confront such hate?" {Ah yes! Keith was "confronting hate" with . . . HATE . . . and it's NATURAL!}
SO, what did Krazy Keith write fellow Olbermannwatchers? What did he tell his disgruntled "fans"?
# "Given how far you are from knowing your ass from your elbow about my industry, you couldn't be stupider, wronger, or dumber ..."
# "Go fuck your mother."
# "You 'Americans' still watching that evil fuck O'Reilly?"
From Lloyd's column: MSNBC declined to comment yesterday, but Olbermann is scheduled to return to work on Monday.
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! Olby pissed off the wrong man! Llloyd Grove rips Olby a new one for attacking his assistant, which is the way it should be. Poor Olby is on his vacation from Hell. I am really convinced that Olby's contract with Satan ended on 6/6/06 and his days are numbered! The time line does not lie!
6/6/06 -- Olby's deal with Satan expires
6/7/06 -- Rick "the Ratings Killer" Kaplan fired
6/8/06 -- Zarqawi killed
6/12/06 -- Baseball card scandal exposed on Olbermannwatch
6/12/06 -- MSNBC names Keith's much younger co-worker Dan Abrams general manager
6/13/06 -- Rove cleared in great leak case
6/14/06 -- Lloyd Grove exposes Olby's hateful attack on Rita Cosby
6/15/06 -- Lloyd further exposes Keith with the Krazy One's own expletive-laden hate mail to "fans."
??? 6/16/06 Olbermann spontaneously combusts and is sucked into Hellfire ???
MAN O' MAN, somebody down there really hates Keith. Surprising that somebody with so many friends should have to deal with so much all at once! I guess he can cry on the shoulder of . . . of . . . does Keith have a pet?
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!
#1. "I quit" -- hahahahahaha! More like "I fired"
#2. Sure looks like Keith picked the wrong lifetime to quit smoking. Any bets on whether he is smoking right now?
Still no sign of Krazy on his blog -- perhaps he is busily hiding under his bed at home, smoking and looking for listening devices.
Papertiger,
Your assumption is precisely why talk radio works for the right and not the left. While the left is pounding the opinions by openly conservative or right of center pundits and columnists, the right is focused on the mainstream media (something that everyone watches, reads). Who cares what Randy Rhodes, Al Franken, or Jerry Springer say? Those guys set themselves up to be hypocrits as do people like Hannity and Rush. The real problem is that something like 60% of journalists consider themselves independent.
By the way, who exactly are the current liberal intellectuals? I'll take Krauthammer, George Will, Gingrich, Larry Miller, Dennis Miller, William F. Buckley etc... Who you got?
Check out the pathetic way TVNewser framed the Olbermann story today.
You know your career is in deep trouble when the only ally you have left is a 19 year-old kid.
HOLY CRAP! I just read that nonsense from the boy at TVNewser and couldn't believe my eyes. How could he even try to make Olby the victim!
"People Harass Keith Olbermann; He Responds; And Lloyd Grove Prints The Responses"
Well DUH! Yeah, what Keith wrote is more relevant. I mean, the guy hosts a NEWS SHOW. Who cares what his "fans" write? Who cares if they wrote mean things to poor little Keith? Does that give him carte blanche to tell them "DIE" and "F-YOU"? Seems pretty nuts to me!
And remember this from the TVNewser boy:
Friday, Mar 10
"Bullied By Billy"
>". . . Countdown devoted Segment 2 to 'Falafel Force/Bullied by Billy'" on Thursday, ICN says. Olbermann interviewed the caller who was cut off by O'Reilly after uttering Olby's name on The Radio Factor. "Countdown added more drama to the file by hiding Mick's face because he was scared FOX News Security would go after him after him," NewsBusters says.
SO! Cutting off a caller is BIG NEWS! Telling a fan to "DIE" or "Go fuck your mother" is just a mere response to evil hostile meanies!
That kid is a stupid whiny tool. The irony is that Olby will soon be asking the twerp for a job!
James, you keep falling into the all to familiar lefty talking points instead of making valid arguments. Things like "here's a link but I know you won't read it, or believe it, because you'll say its a 'Liberal site'." Or "you're just like Hitler" which lost its bite when Al Gore started the brown shirt crap 2 years ago.
I don't recall seeing CNN really even being discussed here, other than to say things like "KO finished far behind FNC and CNN in the ratings."
LMFAO!!!!!!!
I'm amazed at how out of control Olbermann is.
I wouldn't have thought for a minute, that a television personality of Olbermann's experience, would carry on intimately with fans or foes via email (of all venues...)
Keith certainly seems to be telling it like it is when he says that he "answers to no one".
Now how could THAT scenario NOT result in Olbermann taking the low road and bringing his employer along for the ride...
God knows Rita Cosby IS dumb....but if Countdown ever features a "Dumbest Person In the World", it can give the lifetime achievement award to the entity of MSNBC...
Not only does MSNBC truly deserve it, but it would certainly be poetic justice and would appropriately illustrate the level of Olbermann's respect and appreciation.
Better change the name of this site from "OLBERMANNWATCH" to "SUICIDEWATCH"!
Hey Keith, I bet you are reading this at home in your robe with a cigarette hanging from your lips and a beer in your hand. I am a real fan Keith -- can you take a picture in your robe for me, sign it "Go fuck your mother" and send it?
Ha hahahahahahahaha!
Hey, why are executives meeting about you while you are on vacation? Why is Brian Unger trying on your suits?
I'm amazed at how out of control Olbermann is.

Personally, I am not offended at Olbermann said. I am offended that he was so uninventive in his put downs. I mean give me a break. No wonder he's got no ratings. I also like his statement that one of his "correspondents" did not know the medium. Apparently, he hasn't heard about glass houses.
The executives have met and decided to change the format for Keith's show. The new "Go Fuck Your Mother and Die" show with Keith Olbermann debuts this Monday. The show will consist of lively real-world interactions between Keith and his fans.
Also, don't forget to watch Keith's new reality show, called "Yes I Hate You." Cameras follow Olby from when he wakes up ("I feel like shit -- this planet sucks") to the corner store ("just give me my fucking paper you ass") to his place of work ("fuck you everybody -- how stupid are you all -- if you need me I'll be under my desk").
Reviews for the shows are already in.
Brian at TVNewser raves:
"A gritty real show in which one man fights back against an unjust world. You should SEE what they do to this poor man."
Michael Musto says:
"A triumph of proportions heretofore unseen. I almost wet my pants when Keith called Tom Cruise an a--hole!"
David Schuster says:
"I liked it. I sent the review to Keith. Just ask him what I said."
Hey! How come I can't get in the forum at "keitholbermann.org"? What's going on?
Bwa ha ha ha ha ha
KFK----hahahahahahaha!!
Here's another celeb quote for Keith's "new vehicle":
Connie Chung says:
"Keith Olbermann emerges once again... It's just like ...you know.... those insects....those bugs that hide in the woodwork and then come out when the coast is clear.... you know... the icky brown ones with the squirmy antennae.... What am I thinking about, Maury..."
Oh man oh man! The timeline keeps growing:
6/6/06 -- Olby's deal with Satan expires
6/7/06 -- Rick "the Ratings Killer" Kaplan fired
6/8/06 -- Zarqawi killed
6/12/06 -- Baseball card scandal exposed on Olbermannwatch
6/12/06 -- MSNBC names Keith's much younger co-worker Dan Abrams general manager
6/13/06 -- Rove cleared in great leak case
6/14/06 -- Lloyd Grove exposes Olby's hateful attack on Rita Cosby
6/15/06 -- Lloyd further exposes Keith with the Krazy One's own expletive-laden hate mail to "fans."
6/15/06 -- Huge intel succes and massive damage to Al Qaeda from Zarqawi safe house info
6/15/06 -- Dan Rather is fired from CBS News! Fake memos anyone.
Man oh man! Keith must be insane right now.
Is that a real quote C?
don`t forget, the same sort of people who wrote hate email to Keith -- to which he foolishly responded in kind -- are the same brand of pro-torture, pro-bush ditto-head fascists that populate this site and champion the likes of scumbags like Bill O`Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, and Ann Coulter.
Rick,
I think you could be a ghost email writer for Olbermann.
All criticism of his professionalism aside, you certainly share his method of reasoning...
The Olbermanniacs learn to post pictures and we get . . . CARTOONS! Who would have guessed?
In terms of being a pompous ass windbag, KO is cut from the same cloth as Bill O'Reilly. It's no wonder they hate each other. The only difference is KO uses Bill to try to boost his ratings. On KO's attack on Rita Cosby, when you compare all her credentials, awards and accomplishments to his meager profile, he should be embarrassed. I mean how many World leaders has he interviewed, how many languages does he speak, how many charities does he contribute to and how often has he been recognized for his excellence in reporting by his profession has he received? He's just a second rate sports reporter, and an arrogant one at that, who trys to build himself up by tearing others down. KO's cheap shots on women have finally given him permanent residence in the misogynous zone.
