* Olbermann opens with an interview of Harvey Levin about the Mel Gibson story (with a teaser for the upcoming puppet show theatre)

* O'Reilly opens with an interview of Secretary of State Condaleeza Rice about the Isreali/Hezbollah conflict in the Middle East

And Olbermann is STILL losing in the ratings???

OUTRAGEOUS!!!

Jackie Mason should replace Olbernut!

how much damage can countdown do if it only has 200,000-400,000 viewers and fox has over 1-2 million viewers?? and how is he America's most dangerous demagogue?? its not like hes #1 or #2 in the ratings

How much damage can KO do? Now that is a good question. Does he have enough influence to sway an election? No. Influence some moonbats? No. He just picks up talking points and spins his own take on them. Moonbats can't be swayed they are already nuts. Pick up chicks? Apperently yes to this one. Hmmm. Well it is a good question anyhow. Many many answers.

Hey RCox or Johnny Dollar,
It looks like mt attacks on Olbermann's support of Islamo-Fascism is getting to him. He actually called Hizbollah a "terrorist Sate within a state."
You guys got to him, he finally had on a non-Leftist! Jackie Mason who took over his program and said opinions contrarian to Olbernut's illogic.
Olbermanwatch is working!
Keep up the good work everybody posting here, we're getting to him!

Wow -- Didn't anyone on the Countdown staff realize that Jackie Mason is a Republican who often collaborates with New York attorney Raoul Felder to write articles for The American Spectator? Heads could roll for this oversight.

(Of course, after going months and months without having a conservative Republican as a guest, the cynical, alternative theory is Keith and crew thought they could put Mason on tonight, because he would surely rip Mel Gibson a new one, thereby satisfying both the host's feelings in this situation, and his desire to be able to point to his critics and say Countdown books more than just guests who are liberal 100 percent of the time).

Keith Olbermann is the new Mike Tyson! An ignorant fool!

Please, help. Does Miss Odormann wear a hair piece? Thank you.

Jackie Mason is hilairious. Olbermann was fuming. Funny to see.

Tom,

According to "Karmabites," Keith's hair is real. His orange hue, however, is quite fake.

On another note, Danny Abrams started out saying he was going to make MSLSD the first choice for news when he took over. Now he is turning the station into a poor version of E! Entertainment television. What a disaster.

Bill's with the Secretary of State
While Keith ponders Mel Gibson's fate
And NBC wonders why
Keith's ratings aren't high
The ratings Keith likes to inflate

Olby got fooled tonight. Man, Jackie Mason destroyed Olby logic tonight. Will Olby fire whoever booked Mason?

I was rolling on the floor after the Mason segment.!!!!!

I'm betting that Jackie Mason (who is very politically aware) deliberately set Olby up for this segment. He probably had the booking agent fooled into thinking he was going to blast Mel Gibson, so he could get on the show.

Way to go Jackie Mason. You the man!!!!!!

Ha Ha Ha!!!!!!

Best thing I've seen in a Looooooooonnnnnngggg time!!!

Obviously the dim one thought Jackie Mason was gonna blast Gibson from the jewish perspective. Surprise!! Klueless Keith was caught with his pants down and the entire segment was nothing more than two monlogues with only one being insightful and interesting.

When I saw Jackie Mason was gona be on I said, Does Keith know what he's in for? Jackie does fill in work once in a while on NY radio. Keith still probibly doesn't know what hit em'. I hope somebody posts that clip somewhere. I doubt Keith would want that on the Meltdown Video Roster.

Just how obsessed has Keith become? Start bashing a book that doesn't come out until Sept.25th!

We could the same thing about some of you, since KO's book doesn't come out until September 18th and (as of 8/1) no professional reviews of it have been published. So the only reason you trash the book is not because it's a bad book, but because it's Keith Olbermann's book.

aint it funny when they use stewy from family guy to say bill come here as i will soil on your head ha that always makes me laugh.

worst person in the world bill lol
why you watching his show?
if you want keith to fail

If you saw the poll representing the intelligence of a typical msnbc viewer and you were dan abrams, wouldn't you alter your programming and de-emphasize serious news.

KO and Bill O. draw about 2.5 million viewers combined. That's less than 1% of the US population.
You folks sure get worked up over insignificant matters like ratings and Keith's hair!

Keith Olbermann, "America's most dangerous demagogue" ??? PLEASE!!!

Jackie Mason said: "It's a power trip for every schmuck in the world."

Keith's guest is calling him a schmuck? Now that's funny.

"KO and Bill O. draw about 2.5 million viewers combined. That's less than 1% of the US population."

Why bring O'Reilly into this? How about saying:

"Olbermann draws about 300,000 people a night total, which is 0.1% of the population of the United States."

That makes your stupid argument a little more compelling. Keep posting at a site you find superfluous dummy.

It's a hoot when Keith looks directly into the camera and blast a CBS'er for not speaking of Huntley-Brinkley with reverence. Ironic any credibility H/B brought to NBC - Opie is systematically dismantiling.

Almost looks like he is going to cry when those big eyebrows stare right into the camera and he Musto's up all the feigned indignation. I mean, this is hollyowood at it' best. Yeah keith , we want the truth but we can't handle the truth - so we get you

Huntley, Brinlkly, Brokaw, Russert and... Olbermann???? What are Abrams, NBC News and GE thinking???

Hey Russert & Brian Williams - please give me more information on what is wrong with America.

300,000 couldn't we give that a 0.01%?

Sometimes I wonder about Loons, Keith thrashes the New Bill O'Reilly book that doesn't come out until Sept. And a Loon(who doesn't use a name) tries to post something about us trashing Keith's book?

Maybe we should show compassion and start the LOON Education fund?

It's terrible to see a mind short circut on a daily basis.

And constantly buliding on that impecible resume with 105 attacks on O'Reilly, Nazi salutes, I can buy you and sell you e-mails,

American journalism 2006 - Olbermann the "anchor" of an 8:00 NBC News program, THE centerpiece of the NBC News franchise.

American, please tune in every night at 8:00 to watch a once esteemed news organization, NBC, self destruct before your very eyes. The best reality TV ever conceived.

KO: I AM the centerpiece, dammit. Say whatever you want about my itinerant career, that's one thing you can't take away from me-- I am the centerpiece!!! Danny Boy says I'm the centerpiece and he is the GM so that makes it so. Don't you wish you were a centerpiece? Suzy Kolber, Bob Ley, Dan Patrick, Aaron Brown and all those other losers and wannabes that I used to work with aren't centerpieces, and don't you know it just royally burns their ass, that I the Keithmeister, am the centerpiece. Centerpiece, Centerpiece, Centerpiece, I AM the centerpiece!!!

Keith's Shrink: OK, Mr. Olbermann, I think our time is up for today. How are you doing on your meds, do you need any refills?

KO: Nah, don't need 'em. Couple of martinis has the same effect. See ya, doc.

Nicely done, hank. As I read that I instantly pictured Adrian Monk talking to his exasperated shrink!

I wonder if Keith asked Jackie Mason about the humor behind a Nazi salute? Did he mention that at all? After all, he was just trying to liven things up a bit

In the past, Olby would only have on a conservative or a Republican that was going to go against the President, or the Republican base, or olby's unique anti-Christian spin on things. This has been his way of saying that he does have conservatives or Republicans on. Now that Jackie Mason has upset that strategy, what will Olby do? Only pre-tape Republicans? Make them sign an affidavit about what they will say on the show?

Olby doesn't like being crossed like this, he will make sure it doesn't happen again.

Being a little left of center myself, even I am beginning to find Keith too much.
He's stopped being entertaining long ago and does more damage to the Liberal cause than perhaps even O'Reilly.

Oh . . . the Jackie Mason bit . . . hilarious and so embarrassing . . . couldn't you just feel Keith's pain?

One more thing . . . after his classic interview with Jackie Mason last evening . . . maybe instead of calling him Krazy Keith we should call him the Wile E. Coyote of Cable TV news?

Jerry-

I'm no fan of the liberal cause, but think its case deserves to be made in a lucid, articulate forum. That's why I hope that Tucker finds a more legitimate spot in the lineup. He regularly had coherent, thoughtful liberals such as Rachel Maddow and Max Kellerman on his show to debate topics. I found it enlightening. While I still didn't agree with them, at least I understood where they were coming from. The exchanges were friendly and civil, and gave the audience a fair view of both sides of the political spectrum (even though Tucker is technically a libertarian). I have no idea why MSNBC shies away from a balanced political show and favors poor attempts at comedy and celebrity gossip. Believe it or not, I find Chris Matthews to be, while clearly liberal, pretty balanced. I guess I need to start a Tucker blog. My wife finds him to be dreamy...maybe she could do it.

My my, anonymous, what a compelling argument you make.

These are the voyages of one Olbyloving Moonbat. His mission, to boldly and disgustingly waste his time seeking out excrement where only the homeless have gone before.

Is Shatner a Republican? That would explain the lack of talent if it were true.

Chuck Norris (R)
Ronald Reagon Republican (R)

Sean Penn (D)
Tim Robbins (D)
Steven Spielburg (D)

No Denying the democrats have more talent.

Johnny Dollar: I hate Keith Olbermann! I - HATE KEITH - OLBERMANN!!!! Devil Bunny! Devil Bunny!

Johnny's Shrink: Jesus Christ you are batshit crazy. were you toilet trained at gunpoint?

Johnny Dollar: hate Olbermann. Olbermann Liberal! Liberal bad!! conservative good! (Starts Fomaing at the mouth)

Johnny's Shrink: (smacks Johnny in the head.) That doesn't help but it sure feels good... Now where the hell is hank? He's late for his slot.

You've obviously read and ripped off my post from 8/2 at 1:32 pm. Thank you for flattering me with your attempt (as weak as it was) to imitate me.

Hey "talentguy,"

Who are Ronald Reagon and Steven Spielburg?

You ever wonder why all the Hoolywood crowd is liberal? My guess is those who might be conservative fear being blacklisted like Tom Selleck was when he came out of the conservative closet, or like Charleton Heston was. Ironic that the uber-lefties all hated McCarthy, yet currently employ his tactics!

I just think it is a talent issue.

Mine was far funnier. That is the difference.

Your post was about as funny as it was original.

I guess orginality and creativity is a lot to ask of loonies who think that a picture of a pile of shit is a substitute for a substantive argument.

Well you know, when you argue with an idot you tend to descend to their level.

I guess orginality and creativity

i have yet to see it from the right. I was showing you how it is done.

God bless Jackie Mason! It is so refreshing to hear someone famous speak the truth on the air. All the media seems to be good for is stirring up anger and creating racism and bigotry where there is none. Mel said something stupid and sincerely apologized. He is not someone who is afraid to say what he believes and would not have apologized if he didn't mean it. I saw the interview with Jackie Mason at 12:30am. I only wish they would show it again during prime time!

Spielburg?

Oh, my, now Olbermann will think YOU are a Nazi.
