"COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN" (8:00 P.M.-9:00 P.M. ET)
Host: Keith Olbermann
Topics/Guests:
That vaunted Olbermann News Judgment was back in evidence tonight, as early as the opening spiel. Olby ticked off the top stories: MidEast conflict (with the obligatory anti-American note: "have we been painted into a corner?"), Katie Couric's airplane adventure, Lindsay Lohan off sick from her new film, and Mel Gibson.
Olby characterized the Israeli position as "defiant", cited "anger" and "outrage" over casualties in Lebanon, then introduced taped reports (Martin Fletcher, Richard Engel). The Wolffe Man opined that because Israel has hit civilians, they have lost the "PR battle". KO was quick to cite Chuck Hagel, who is calling for a cease-fire, and Krazy wondered how "significant" it is that he broke with the President. Based on Hagel's track record, not very.
In the #4 segment, Olby raised the question of whether Israel "miscalculated" in responding to Hezbollah. A taped David Gregory report followed, and again Krazy Keith played the little game where he offered Gregory "great thanks", as if the videotape playback machine could actually hear him.
The infamous, deplorable Keith Olbermann introduced "oddball" by complaining about some news executive. She had criticized Huntley and Brinkley, and Reverend Olby sermonized that her remarks were "unconscionable and unprofessional". Because it's wrong, just wrong, to criticize other broadcasters. We wonder, if making one negative statement is "unconscionable and unprofessional", what would attacking someone 102 times be?
Olbermann's nose-dive into celebrity journalism came quickly: the #3 story. First up, Mel Gibson, which KO introduced with the tacky tag-line: "the dashin' of the Christ". After a recycled NBC report, Tom O'Neil from InTouch magazine dished the dirt. Both KO and Tom declared that Gibson's career is over, with Herr Olbermann name-dropping a famous scandal of years past ("Is this almost Fatty Arbuckle levels?"). Of course, Mr Arbuckle's "scandal" regarded unsubstantiated rape charges that finally were dismissed by a jury in six minutes of deliberation, and Arbuckle did eventually return to films. So we're unclear exactly how that relates to Mr Gibson. Krazy offered the suggestion that if Gibson were to go on Bill O'Reilly's show to do a mea culpa, "at least Mel could claim he's drunk". And if you think Countdown is not going to keep flogging this story, tune in tomorrow for Mel Gibson Puppet Theater. No, we are not making this up. This must be how Dan Abrams plans to address the fact that MSNBC's viewers are nowhere near as smart or educated as Bill O'Reilly's.
#2: Flight delays (via another regurgitated NBC report), a lead-in to more celebrity news: Katie Couric on an airplane! Followed by Ben Affleck, Kid Rock, and Pamela Anderson. And the #1 story, the Great Lindsay Lohan Labor Dispute, covered by a recycled NBC report and, in person, the creepy Michael Musto. The latter announced that Mel Gibson's audience is "deeply anti-Semetic", and chatted about "peeing on a script" and "camel poop". Keep it up, Dan. Those educated viewers must be flocking to A-Mess-NBC.
Rick Santorum (R) was a runner-up "worst person"; no liberal or Democrat was included in this "nonpartisan" segment. The "winner" was a traveler who took Olby's luggage by mistake. Does this mean that some hapless passenger now has Keith's little black book? His email? His own personal copy of Mein Kampf? The mind boggles at the possibilities. But alas, that was not to be; Krazy Keith got his bag back within 40 minutes. That isn't much longer than the amount of time he spent kvetching about it on national (though little-seen, except by the uneducated) television.
Keith Olbermann is an Islamo-Fascist supporter. He always condemns US or Israel,but never Al-Qaeda or Hizzb'allah.
Lefties, what do you have to say about Olbernut's support of the Islamo-Fascist Hizb'allah.
Nothing I bet. Nutjob is proving himself more and more a traitor!
Olbermann is a Dhimmi. A servent to islam. Him and the Left are in cahoots with Islamo-Fascists.
Olbermann should be charged with sedition and treason!
Unfortunately we have too many Dhimmicrats!
We concur, Keith. Those pusillanimous puppet promos were phuh-phuh-phucking phunny!
Abrams is letting the kiddies run the show.
Did anyone catch the creepy Musto say that Gibson's career will unfortunately survive because all his audiences are anti-semitic anyway? Isn't that worse than Mel Gibson's offense? Implying all Christians are anti-semitic? Of course olbyloon didn't disagree, he just laughed.
How MSNBC can keep this show on the air is beyond my comprehension.

Israel MURDERED thirty-seven children because they mistook a refugee site for a Hezbollah base. They deserve to be condemned for that.
Olbermann should be charged with sedition and treason!
Read the statue, dipshit. If what Olbermann said amounts to sedition, you'd have to lock HALF THE GODDAMNED COUNTRY up. Stop making up the law and READ it for once in your miserable life.
Anonymous, did you somehow miss the fact that it's standard operating procedure for Hezbollah to use civilians as human shields? They were launching their rockets from the site that was bombed!
Doesn't Israel have a right to defend HER people from these rockets? They intented on obliterating the launchsite, and it turned out that civilians were in fact located there. A great photo op/PR move for Hezbollah to produce lots of nice pictures to show that they were victimized.
Don't even try to reason with anonymous 2:04AM. The fact that terrorists started the war and could end it by giving back the kidnapped soldiers means nothing. The use of human shields is a-OK, lobbing bombs into Israel to PURPOSELY kill civilians is charming, and Hezbollah officials parading corpses of children around for propaganda purposes is awesome.
As for what constitutes anti-semitism, one must be clear. It is not anti-semitic to side with terrorists against Israel, since Israel is a Western Democracy sympathetic to Bush. Any use of force by Israel is counterproductive and to be condemned. Any activity engaged in by Hezbollah is justified. Anti-semitism exists only when specific epithets are used by insane drunken Christ-loving movie stars that Keith dislikes. Now if only Tom Cruise would do something like this . . .
I just noticed that poor 2:04 is trying to read a statue! And in the same sentence, he calls another poster a dipshit!!
While his colleagues are dodging a shell
Meltdown features puppets and Mel
The cringe factor's high
No need to ask why
Keith belongs in a thick-padded cell
I know that a man who recently did a nazi salute didn't say that Mel Gibson's career is over. I mean, I just know that it couldn't have happened. Welcome to the twilight zone.
You go, Dr. Phil!
Emperor Palpatine tells it like it is.
Anonymous, did you somehow miss the fact that it's standard operating procedure for Hezbollah to use civilians as human shields? They were launching their rockets from the site that was bombed!
Even the Israeli Defense Force states that rockets were being fired from the village, but not necessarily from the site that was hit. They told civilians to leave, then BOMBED THE ROADS that the civilians needed to use to escape, forcing them to take shelter wherever they could.

You're gonna make fun of a typo? Boy, you must be bored...
" . . .the Israeli Defense Force states that rockets were being fired from the village . . . They told civilians to leave"
Yes, I'm sure the Israelis were only following the same procedures used by Hezzbollah in warning the civilians to leave before the bombing. You are a joke, anonymous.
Hey Keith, here's a crazy idea. Why don't you have Mel Gibson on your show so you act all big and bad to his face.
Hey Anonymous:
Your Islamofascist friends at Hezbollah started this conflict and they are going to be pounded into dust. Enjoy.
I'll need to complete anon's thought. Even if you're in crazy land it still needs to be coherent:
"They told civilians to leave, then BOMBED THE ROADS that the civilians needed to use to escape, forcing them to take shelter wherever they could" for over two weeks constantly. There wasn't one stretch of road that wasn't bombed continuously throughout this period. That's why there were NO/ZERO/NADA refugees at all from southern Lebanon. Reports of mass refugees were simply wrong.
Still crazy but now it's coherent.
I hope Castro is okay. He just needs more time to prove that communism works.
"That's why there were NO/ZERO/NADA refugees at all from southern Lebanon. Reports of mass refugees were simply wrong."
IDIOTIC statement. Complete fabrication. Evidence mounts that Hezbollah demolished the building at Qana eight hours after the Israelis were there, by the way:

Olby still in 4th place in demo and overall, despite West-Coast Swing Tour.
Jim-
Yet we still see TVNewser providing numbers to prove the contrary, exhorting how MSNBC's numbers are up twenty-something percent vs. last July. No mention that MSNBC's ratings have sprung a leak in the past couple of months...
When I'm wrong, I'm wrong. TVNEWSER just put up a new post saying KO is declining vs. Zahn, saying that MSNBC's closes competition is actually HLN. Way to go, Newser!
There's still some hope for ole Brian. He's even been saying a few good things about Fox lately. Claims he's a big Shep fan, etc. He might come around.
Perhaps he is feeling the Olbermann Watch heat.
Once again, this site proves that the Left sympathizes with Islamo-Fascists. The defence of Olbermann is insane! He's a Jihadi supporter!
I sure wish we had another Hitley. if only Cheny were president.
