Why is Olby dressed as a tweed Easter egg?

in 2008 George Bush will be charged with war crimes, and I hope that he is tortured daily and not told why he is being held. Give him a bag of pretzels and an empty beer can. I wonder how long it would take him to notice that the can is empty. He is a pile of shit and I hope his demise is longer and more painful than Reagans.

I would like Michael Medved to be thought of in the same vein as Alan Berg.

Keith, did you give this send this chick in Michigan who wants to go to the Tigers game an e-mail? We hear that you're fond of that. She sounds like your kind of girl.

Yes O'Lamely, that is a good plan. Wish torture and death on the President who is trying to keep you safe from terrorists. I have a better idea -- you bunk up with a few released Jihadists. You do realize that when we try to release these jerks from Guantanamo and send them back where they came from, their native countries refuse to accept them? You didn't know that you half-witted slug? Why am I not surprised.

Maybe you should ask yourself what the native countries are so afraid of. After all, these poor kids are being held for no reason -- they are little innocent cuddly bunnies. Here is something to read dopey:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20061017/ts_nm/security_guantanamo_allies_dc

"British officials recently rejected a U.S. offer to transfer 10 former British residents from Guantanamo to the United Kingdom, arguing that it would be too expensive to keep them under surveillance, the newspaper said, citing documents made public this month in London."

"Britain has also staved off a legal challenge by the relatives of some prisoners who sued to require the British government to seek their release, The Washington Post said."

"Germany and other European allies, which have spoken out against Guantanamo, also have balked at accepting prisoners from the facility, the Post said."

Gotta love Euroweenies! Release the prisoners (but don't give them to us). What a joke, kinda like you O'Lamely.

Of course, Olby tries to spin David Kuo's negative comments about him. Your program is not a newscast Keith - it's an echo chamber. And how classy of you to attack those who don't think their comments should be twisted for your own agenda.

And please stop insulting Reader's Digest.

KFK,, "protecting us"... please tell me another one.

Before things get hot and heavy can anyone explain the references to KO being under a desk or close to a desk he can crawl under?

The only thing that comes to mind is having seen news anchors in California crawl under their desks during earthquakes.

Janet Hawkins
AKA Grammie

That's it O'Lamely -- ignore the facts I posted and stick to the talking points. How about the Brits and Krauts hiding their shame and refusing to accept their own fine citizens while demanding their release? Hello Lamely? Anyone home?

Tell you what, since you think Bush is not protecting you, offer to house one of the poor Guantanamo detainees. After all, they are innocent men. Come on jerk, put up or shut up. [at O'Lamely's halfway house: crickets . . . hamster wheel turning . . . Olby in background . . . vacant stare]

Sure Janet

Olby has hidden under his desk in the past and refused to do his show. These instances occured at the height of the Clinton Lewinskygate scandal, when Keith just couldn't bear to do the show for some reason. Lest you think this a joke, there is documentation to back these allegations up.

KO continues his campaign of disinformation against the Military Commissions Act. This time he enlists the aid of his buddy Turley, the only person on earth smarmier than KO himself. Neither appears to have actually read Hamdan v. Rumsfeld, in which the Court scolded the administration for not first getting the authority of Congress before trying Hamdan in a military tribunal. But it clearly left open the possibility that the President could seek congressional authority to do so. For example, Justice Breyer wrote a concurring opinion in which he was joined by Souter, Ginsberg, and Kennedy. In it he asserted that:
"The Courts conclusion ultimately rests
upon a single ground: Congress has not
issued the Executive a blank check. Indeed,
Congress has denied the President the
legislative authority to create military
commissions of the kind at issue here.
Nothing prevents the President from
returning to Congress to seek the authority
he believes necessary."
So what does W do? He goes to Congress and gets the authority to convene military tribunals. In other words, he does exactly what the Supremes told him he needed to do. But you won't hear any of this from the Edward R Murrow of our time or his tinfoil hat ventriloquist dummy.

Yup, right on cue with the Special Comment tomorrow. Why did we know that was coming? Ratings? Bad press?

KFK,,, what does Germany and GB have to do with this country... come on Bush have a pretzel.

O'Lielly, I know of a liberal woman I'd like you to meet. You two seem to have identical ideology.

I don't have a picture of her that I can post, but you can just Google "Lynne Stewart" images.

You'd make a lovely couple.

How about a special comment on how to sucker women on the internet into paying to have sex with you even though you are a fat turd with mental problems. This is perhaps Olby's main talent, along with the ability to destroy whomever he works for.

Will this be a repeat "Special Comment"?
I didn't know Krazy Keith actually hid under his desk.
Didn't Keith know that his regular personal attacks on others provide no sympathy for him when his scary live came to light?

Missy,

I agree. Lynn Stewart is the obvious choice for O'Lamely.

As for your comment Lamely, the Brits and Krauts are criticising us publicly, and screwing us privately. They inspire nutjobs like you to complain about Guantanamo, all the while realizing that the people held there are dangerous Jihadists who were captured on battlefields.

How 'bout you and Lynn Stewart go down there for Halloween and cheer the Jihadis up as a first date? If you are lucky they won't try to kill you and will merely throw their excreta on you.

KFK, thanks. The more I read and learn about this man the more I don't know whether to pity him or hold him in utter contempt.

On balance though I believe he is a manipulating and selfish self promoter. He has no guiding principles or moral compass.

Janet Hawkins
AKA Grammie

Olbermann's ideal girlfriend:

Note the hairy chin.

aw . . . no pictures allowed!

Keith apparently is into preschoolers these days.

Olby's habit of chasing youngsters is scary.

KfK, what was the pic?

And please, the only field reporting he'll do is the kind that involves baseball fields.

Come on guys -- Katey Turd is almost finished with college. Yes, Olby's older than her Dad, but so what. This is clearly LOVE!

All the love that money can buy.

I hope K. Turd uses Olby like Anna Nicole used that old geezer. Did anyone tell Katey that she ain't gonna make millions off of Keith?

The scariest part is that Keith doesn't use condoms. Nasty!

Olby closed the Bush segment with "See You at Gitmo"...I guess he's looking to be tried as an enemy combatent.

Olby closed the Bush segment with "See You at Gitmo"...I guess he's looking to be tried as an enemy combatent.

Nasty doesn't even begin to express contempt for that kind of dangerous behavior.

Oh goody another "special comment" gee KO hasn't done one of those in what a week? Oh well if KO isn't going to defend the rights of terrorist who will...Lynn Stewart?

Kuo was on hardball today. Did'nt catch the whole interview, but the part i saw seemed like kuo is still a bush supporter and that his book was not intended as a bush basher until olbermann got his hands on it and performed some classic olbyspin on it.

Gee, I don't remember reading about FDR giving habeas rights to the hundreds of thousands of German and Japanese soldiers we captured.

Or for that matter, any OTHER president extending habeas to enemy soldiers or combatants in any war pre- or post-Geneva conventions.

Was I sick that day in history class when all this was mentioned?

Olby is going to portray all of the negative press about his personal life as political persecution. What a surprise.

The picture was of an extremely obese disbarred lawyer who digs long walks with terrorists, fudge covered pizza, all-you-can-eat buffets and calzones filled with ricotta and snickers bars. Upon her chin reside multiple walrus-whiskers. She is unable to wipe her own can, and so must be hosed down post bowel movement like an elephant. For helping a terrorist communicate with his loyal jihadists by passing notes saying "kill people and demand my release," she received two years in jail and was disbarred. She will appeal.

Olby is 47, he'll be 48 in Feburary. Katy's Daddy? Is 46. She's 22.

KO nailed the one about the radio hosts in the White House. If President Bush had followed the ethical standards set by the Clinton White House he would have been OK

Fifty thousand for the visit and for an extra fifty thousand stay the night in the Lincoln bed room.

Yuck. I just got a mental picture of Babs in the Lincoln bedroom and a white sluggy looking Bill slithering in.

Got to run. I think I'm going to lose my dinner.

Janet Hawkins
AKA Grammie

Did the cops issue an Amber Alert on KT when she left California?

9:41: how do you know that is what the special comment is going to be about? I thought I heard him say his comment tomorrow night would be on Habeus Corupus again.

I believe his birthday is in January.

Your right granny. If only Neal Boortz had had the foresight to perform a Lewinsky on W in the oval office. If he had KO and the rest of the moonbats wouldn't have given a damn.

Yes Grammie, you remind us all of the good old days under (literally) Bill and Hillary Clintoris when the hourly rates for the Lincoln bed room were available upon request, and pants were optional in the oral orifice . . . er I mean oval office. Cue the outraged Clintonistas in 3. . .2. . .1. . .

Lets see ... Keith actually made it to third place on Monday night in the ratings, a night with no special comment but with an ex-Bush Administration Republican on who disagreed with Olbermann's questions/remarks, turning the show from an echo chamber into one in which -- for at least a few minutes -- people could actually hear differing points of view.

What a unique and revolutionary concept. Perhaps Dan Abrams ought to get Keith to try it on a nightly basis, and see if he can finally put some distance between himself, Nancy Grace and reruns of "Deal or No Deal" on CNBC.

Dan Abrams ought to get Keith to try it on a nightly basis
********************************************
KO will quit before he lets his show become balanced for more than once in three years.

Quit? No, he'd kill himself. All the more reason to petition Dan Abrams to make KO have a more balanced show. What a concept!

KO's supposed hero Edward R. Murrow is spinning in his grave. Olbermann is the most pathetic excuse of a journalist I've ever seen.

He spends a week pulling selected material out of a book, without even talking to the author about it. When the author criticizes KO for getting it wrong, Olbermann rips the author.

Why not bring the guy on the show and let the truth come out? Oh. Sorry. KO isn't about truth. He's about spinning everything to make Bush and Republicans look bad.

This guy couldn't pass a Journalism 101 course at a community college.

Although the topic of tomorrow's "Special Comment" may seem familiar, last time it was a Countdown "Investigation."

Is KO really running out of material to the extent that he has to rehash his own stuff? There is nothing else that irritates him?

OBTW, KO, on his original investigation, claimed this act deprives persons held of 9 of the 10 items of the Bill of Rights (wrong on its face because there are 3 rights in the First Amendment alone). Are these guys really deprived of freedom of religion? Freedom of speech?

Olby admits he seldom attended classes while at Cornell. It explains much doesn't it?

Krazy Keith will declare himself an illegal combatant on tomorrows show! Now that is SPECIAL!!

I'm letting you all feast and enjoy each others little digs at Keith. November's coming. You will have some much more to think about then.

nice to see olbermann is upset about the rights of traitors and terrorists. To bad he won't comment on that communist toad lyn stewart who Soros gave 20k to defend but that might upset his socialist moonbat base. Olby in Gitmo! I would pay to see that-
you are a fucking traitor olbermann

Anyone else catch KO's riff this afternoon on the Dan Patrick show where KO condemned University of Miami President Donna Shalala's slap on the wrist of the football team following Saturday's appalling on the field fight with another team?

KO said that "as former Secretary of Education in the Clinton Administration" Shalala should have been especially sensitive to sending the right message to students about improper behavior.

Good point KO, but Shalala was secretary of health and human services in the Clinton Administration not secretary of education.

Small error admittedly but can you imagine what KO would have done had O'Reilly made that mistake?

Regardless of who wins in November, KO will still be a second-rate, fabricating, spinning, Partisan hack.

You KO supporters miss the point. It's not a left/right thing. It's a truth, accuracy, and honesty thing. KO fails on all three.

Thanks for the heads-up on the National Review article, JD. Since this show is predictable, maybe studying ahead is the thing. Ah, the Spezial Comment is coming!

socialist moonbat base.

Posted by: mlong at October 17, 2006 10:48 PM

Keith does get carried away on the billo thing. He is not the worst person in the world, just the media.

Keith admitted on the radio the other day, at 3pm, he hadn't even looked at the rundown for that night's Countdown. Didn't he formerly write the majority of the show? Now he's not even looking at rundowns of what's on the show until 3pm in the afternoon?

and...

If he can't rehash old stuff, he just makes up things... like how Kuo's book will turn religious Conservatives against the Republicans. Or how we'll all be thrown in jail without any rights by that evil tyrant George Bush.

How sad is this... the easiest guest to get on a talk show is one who has a new book coming out to promote. KO can't even get Kuo on his show, so he fabricates what the guy wrote to serve KO's own wacky, paranoid agenda.

Ashcroft bitch-slapped him last night. Kuo did the same today. O'Reilly does in the ratings on a nightly basis. Poor Keith. Maybe he likes being punished. Does his teenage girlfriend know that about him?

Posted by: bigred at October 17, 2006 10:06 PM

You have a problem with people going to a community college?

When he yaps endlessly about her on the radio, he made it everyone's business.

You Krazy Keith chose to go after others personal lives so know karma has come to bite him in that fat ass of his

And what it means re his not looking at a rundown of the show is that clearly, he's no longer very concerned with the content of the show. No wonder he looks so bored and so unhappy on air these days. He used to brag and boast of how he wrote upwards of 90% of the show. Now he's not even looking at the rundown? Look, if you like being taken in by a shyster who can't even be bothered to pay attention to what's on his own show, fine, so be it. but don't expect me not to call him out on his bullshit. What a JOKE you and he both are.

No, I don't have a problem with community colleges. I have a problem with someone who portrays himself as intellectually superior trying to pass himself off as a credible journalist, when he is obviously just a partisan hack.

He has no journalistic integrity. He has zero ethics. He spins every single story he airs to flag his ultra-liberal point of view.

He probably doesn't even believe half the stuff he says. He just hopes his retarded "special comments" will boost his pathetic ratings so MSNBC won't can him when his contract runs out.

I have something against Community Colleges. I would sooner add a thirteenth grade to High School than send someone to a Junior College.

And this would be Exhibit A why the Dems can't connect to the voting public: your elitist attitudes.

Why hasn't Georgetown tried hiring you? You're clearly a much smarter legal expert than Jonathon Turley. Why are you a no-name hack instead of taking a prestigious position somewhere? Do you just not want to upstage other lawyers with your brilliance?

Ko fucked Karma (or tried to). So what does that make him?

Whether you agree with O'Reilly or not, at least he has guests who offer both sides of an issue. When has KO ever done that, barring last night's miraculous appearance by John Ashcroft?

Olbermann's pathetic excuse of a show will NEVER surpass O'Reilly's because his point of view is geared to a pathetic group of blind lemmings who can't think for themselves.

You can agree or disagree with O'Reilly and he brings on guests who disagree all the time.

bigred,
Olbermann has a degree from Cornell. Where is your degree from?

All you people sound jealous and scary. Half of you inbreds probably don't know the difference between a homerun and a fumble yet you listen to Dan Patrick's radio show to hear Keith? Maybe you should try to get a job instead of listening to the radio and searching the internet for information on some girl's family. Don't you feel creepy when you're searching for personal information about a college student and her family when you've never met or talked to them? Don't you think you might need mental help if you're that messed up?

Krazy Keith the orange man set the bar for personal attacks on others and wallowing in their pain and suffering. It turns out he also sets the bar in actually being a freak.....bubble bath anyone?

Actually, olbermann is a pretty decent sportscaster, which makes it even more of a shame that he is such a lying lunatic when it comes to politics.

Hehehe --"I know her socially" - he probably banged her and she went public on his inabilities!

Why watch Olberman when the highly entertaining Bill O'Reilly is on. I mean where can you get such a comedian like old Bill who never lies or makes things up and who is never ego centric and delusional......

Not that it's any of your business, Colbert, but my degree is from one of the most prestigious schools in the southeast, I make a very good living and I played baseball in high school.

I don't give a damn about Olby's personal life, yours or anyone else's for that matter. I do care about the b.s. he spews on television.

He & Patrick were great together on Sportscenter.
I even enjoy his segments on Buck O'Neil and completely agree with KO that Buck should be in the Baseball Hall of Fame. I met Buck O'Neil in Kansas City and the man was a national treasure.

However, Olbermann has become a mindless, spineless, completely partisan loon who tries to pass himself off as a journalist. Anyone with any objectivity could watch that show and see that it is completely one-sided and lacking any of the basic journalistic standards of ethics, integrity, research, balanced reports, etc.

What's really pathetic about this is, if KO actually brought on guests that disagreed with him, the show might actually be interesting and get more viewers.

You should feel creepy for coming here and displaying what a moron you are colbert, you have not the brains to even defend yourself or your socialist traitor hero.

"Welcome to Hyperbole City, as the infamous, deplorable Keith Olbermann kicked off his opening spiel by bellowing that the newly-signed Military Commissions law was comparable to the old Alien and Sedition Act, and the internment of Japanese Americans"

This is funny. Bush-appologists across the right-wing (and recently Olbermann posters cee and Grammie) have long used these same historical analogies to argue that the Military Commissions legisaltion is A-OK.

Keith does not write the show anymore since he joins Dan Patrick to do the radio show, that is why I quit watching it. He is a great writer. I love his writing that is why I watch him every night since March 2003 until now. He has his writers or producers to do the show, most of them are replayed. He has his own style of writing and not too many can satisfy him, so he ends up have to rewrite the whole show, he said it before. Now he has his 22-years-old-liev-in girlfriend, who was a producer at a local staion in LA, she is working for him, but not sure how much she contributes to the show. She is young and inexperienced, a fresh grad.

Thanks for alerting me he has a special comment tonight, I get to find something else to watch, definitely not Project Runway, which his girlfriend likes and makes him watch with her. I think there is a game tonight, Mets and Cardinals, yay. Next week, is the World Series, don't even think I will watch his show.

Sir Loin....hmmmmm, what president put thousands of Japanese Americans in internment camps...oh, yeah FDR a democrat;

I still have yet to see Arab &/or Muslim Americans being bussed to Manzanar for imprisonment during the W administration

I thought his young honey was too busy spending Sugar Daddy Keith's money buying Prada and Marc Jacobs bags and shoes to actually have to work for a living. Somehow, I seriously doubt he's gotten her a job yet unless it's to get her out of the house because she's already driving him (even more) crazier than he already is. It seems to me that her new job is advising him on how to look like a burlap-wearing Easter egg. Wonder how she liked his jab at the Woody Allen-child bride last night? Glass houses Keith. Glass houses.

"And in an amusing faux pas, Olbermann's staff, for the second time in less than a year, accidentally displayed a photograph of former liberal Democratic Senator Max Cleland instead of conservative talk radio host Neal Boortz."
---from newsbusters.org

and he never apologized for it and it re-ran on the re-run...I guess KO will have to call himself a "moron" and pick himself as the WPITW

Don't hold your breath on that one.

Why is KO so obsessed with Laura Ingraham?
She didnt allow him doggy style?

Keith is the news host version of Travis Bickle / John Hinckley Jr. He rants and raves like an insane man just to impress little Katy Turd. It's just a matter of time before he completely loses it.

If the dems win Olbs first special comment will call for impeachment. Maybe this special comment will get the impeachment talk started as in there should be an investigation into President Bush. Will hate to see next two years if the dems win.

The Dems aren't winning anything. They may have the press and Olby, but they also have Lynn Stewart, Kos, DU, and the lefties in Congress who vote against National Security every chance they get. Karl Rove is the man, and he is confident of victory:

http://www.washtimes.com/national/20061018-123042-6508r.htm

After the mid-term elections, Olby's "specious comments" will be about "stolen elections" or "GOP dirty tricks" and his ratings will be nice 'n low, just the way we like 'em.

Olbermann is the one who needs to be "impeached"

Olbermann's staff, for the second time in less than a year, accidentally displayed a photograph of former liberal Democratic Senator Max Cleland instead of conservative talk radio host Neal Boortz.
***************************************************
So KO labels O'Reilly and FOX WPITW for putting a (D) next to Foley's name even though they admitted the mistake and corrected it..but for the SECOND time in a year KO and MSNBC used the wrong pic of Boortz and no one apologized.

Now could it be that KO really dosen't know what Max Cleland looks like? How could the new "Murrow" not know what a famous former Senator and War vet looks like after doing a ton of stories about him during the '04 election in regards to Kerry and the Swift boat veterans for truth?

Or did he just wanted to use that pic of him because in it he really looks old and wanted to use it slam Boortz with it and just didn't care about Cleland?

Olbermann will be remembered as the American with a spine when we had all lost ours.

This is true, I can't think of a position that the dems stood up for. You are right, all the dems are spineless and not worth voting for.

The good old days I am talking about were the ones when Americans valued the idea of "Leave me the hell alone if I aint bothering you or breaking no laws.I will worship or not the way I want. I will raise childrenn or not the way I want. I do not wish or need to meddle in other countries affairs. I mind my own damn business, do my own work, and couldn't care less if my neighbor is doing what the hell ever as long as they respect my rights, I will respect theirs."

Anon at 10:35.

Obviously you are a huge Olby fan. Or maybe your like the 299.99 plus million that pay no attention to him at all. You must be the latter, or you'd know that KO has been calling for his impeachment since his first "I'm SO Special Comment".

Let's see....getting rid of slavery...who was that president, ummmm, right LINCOLN!, and he was a hmmmmmmm, lets see now, Republican! Hey wait a sec...the Republicans....that's right they are the party that passed the civil rights act over the objections of many democrats including algore sr....

"Just what part of the "good old days" would you like to bring back. Slavery, prayer in schools, hangings, no voting for women??? "
well prayer in schools was a good idea, at least back then we did not have school shootings and such. as for hangingings well maybe if some convicted murderers, rapists, child molestors,and carjackers saw some of their friends dancing on the end of a rope they would think twice about becoming criminals .
but according to the liberals that have fostered and perpetuated a culture of blaming society and not the criminal and being more worried about the rights of criminals and terrorists we no longer hold criminals acountable and as a society we have all become victims- victims of liberals. so yes hanging is good thing for ridding society of criminals!

COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN - OCTOBER 17, 2006
"COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN" (8:00 P.M.-9:00 P.M. ET)

Host: Keith Olbermann

Topics/Guests:

EVANGELICAL HYPOCRISY: Richard Wolffe, Newsweek senior White House correspondent and MSNBC political analyst
MADONNA'S ADOPTIVE SON: Michael Musto, Village Voice
Welcome to Hyperbole City, as the infamous, deplorable Keith Olbermann kicked off his opening spiel by bellowing that the newly-signed Military Commissions law was comparable to the old Alien and Sedition Act, and the internment of Japanese Americans. Then another big, breaking story: the President met with six talk show hosts, along with a sex scandal update. In what might be a new record, Countdown managed to lie six times in about eight minutes.

In the pointless reference department, Olby noted that 135 years ago today, President Grant suspended habeas corpus in South Carolina. Then it was on to KO's first fabrication:

Your principal defense against imprisonment without charge and trial without defense thrown away without good reason. [1]
Then he compounded the felony, saying that the new law:

...does away with habeas corpus, the right of suspected terrorists, or anybody else, to know why they have been imprisoned, provided the President does not think it should apply to you and declares you an enemy combatant. [2]

This is a flat-out falsehood concocted for the gullible cretins who labor under the mistaken notion that Monkeymann tells the truth. The law does not do away with habeas corpus for "terrorists or anybody else". We've gone through this before, but it's always worthwhile pointing out another Olbermann lie.

Herr Olbermann went on to quote from Senators Kennedy (D), Leahy (D), and Feingold (D). He didn't note that the law passed with 65 votes in the Senate, meaning that a fair number of Dems backed it. And of course, there were no quotes from any of those who supported the measure, regardless of which side of the aisle they were on.

At this point it was time for another episode of everyone's favorite sitcom, Olby and the Perfessor. Jonathan Turley's opinion is well-known to Herr Olbermann, and the Perfessor certainly did not disappoint. KO asked about the definition of an unlawful enemy combatant, and asked if that means "Mister" Bush could declare anyone as such. "It certainly does." Surprise. Then:

...under this law, ultimately the only thing keeping you, I [sic], or the viewer out of Gitmo is the sanity and honesty of the President of the United States? [3]
"It does." [4] Surprise again. How odd that neither Olby nor the Perfessor mentioned 1005(e)(2), that gives federal courts power to review detention of enemy combatants. And of course the law clearly states that restrictions of habeas corpus only apply to aliens--not U.S. citizens. Once again, Olbermann and his enabler lie to their viewers by not giving all the facts. Instead, the Perfessor whimpered about "200 years of American principles and values"--without ever stating when in those 200 years this country ever fought a war that granted habeas corpus rights to enemy combatants. But "Fat Ass" Olbermann wasn't done, referencing again the "elimination of habeas corpus" [5] (does he think a lie becomes true if he just repeats it enough?), and the Perfessor squealed about how we have an "uber-President" who can hold anyone he wants without trial [6]. Fric and Frac reprised their golden oldie about "torture", Monkeymann suggested the threat we are really facing is "the threat of, uh, President George W Bush", and a good time was had by all. Except for the credulous OlbyLoons who think A-Mess-NBC is a reputable news organization.

Then Krazy Keith was out to complain that the President met with five conservative radio talk show hosts. As if this were breaking news--it happened a month ago! And it was hardly a secret, since the people involved spoke of it at length on the air and on the web. But maybe KO only listens to Err America, and they didn't get invited. Nonetheless, this old ancient news was deemed vital enough to bring in Howard Fineman, Pundit for All Occasions. Olby whined that the President was using the White House for "political purposes". What? There's politics going on in the White House? Herr Olbermann was shocked! Shocked! Howie opined that the President was "speaking to the choir", but neither he nor Olbermann explained what is so sinister about Bush talking to people in the media.

Always looking to cast every Bush move as politically stupid, KO wondered if signing the tribunals act would actually "energize the Democrats or other critics"? Fineman obediently replied, "I think it may." He then went on to add that "it" applies to American citizens, again not telling that denial of habeas corpus is not part of that "it". Yes, it was another "culture of corruption" (Dem talking point and therefore OlbySpin phrase) report from the nonpartisan Olbermann.

For this, we got another visit from Dana Milbank, sans splashy smock, who delivered "rumors" about a "16-year-old girl". He spoke of guilty pleas in the Abramoff matter (R), as well as the matters of DeLay (R), Libby (R), Foley (R), Weldon (R), and Hastert (R). Hmm, were there some corruption allegations that he neglected to mention? Maybe people with a (D) after their names? Nah, can't be. You would never get one-sided reporting on The Hour of Spin.

After great thanksing Milbank and another brilliantly conceived chapter of the oddball saga, KO brought us tonight's installment of the Olbermann Vote Suppression Project. Evangelicals will stay home. And Olby had a little barb for Mr Kuo himself, who didn't like the way Countdown characterized his book:

This is a newscast, and not Reader's Digest.
A newscast? That's Olbermann lie #7. Then back to suppressing the evangelical vote. The Global Aids coordinator is gay. Condi Rice referred to his partner's mom as a "mother-in-law". The Family Research Council didn't like it. The Wolffe Man tittered about promises not delivered, Olby talked about worshipping two masters, and KO came up with another brilliant prediction of doom. After pounding home all the ways the evangelical vote was going to be suppressed, Krazy Keith decided he could eat his cake and have it too by adding that moderate Republicans might also "sit this one out". Even Wolffie didn't bite on this stale babka.

#2: The resume that ended up on YouTube--how many weeks has this story been making the rounds? No matter, recycled NBC reportage did manage to fill some time until Wesley Snipes and the Crocodile Hunter. #1: Madonna and other big news with the creepy Michael Musto. The Media Matters Minute slammed Michael Savage: he's "just a moron". Wait, I thought O'Reilly was the moron. No, that was yesterday. And Rev Olbermann took pains to tell us that another of his infrequent, rarely seen, only occasional "special comments" is coming on Wednesday: the end of habeas corpus. Man, if he could lie about it six times tonight, imagine the fabrications he can spew by yammering for an entire segment. Clear-headed readers will want to bone up on the subject so they can anticipate Olbermann's lies before he disgorges them.

Dogs that did not bark: North Korea may be preparing another nuke test, but Edward R Olbermann could care less. The KO "scandal watch" continues to ignore the ethical difficulties of Harry Reid (D) and the Governor of Illinois. And no outrage (phony or otherwise) at the New York Post; some things just hit too close to home. Disgracefully, Krazy Keith has allowed to stand his baseless smear of Chris Mihlfield and Albert Pujols, lifted from a discredited and retracted blog entry.

Olbermann's book The book that bears Olbermann's name is #99 at amazon, while Mr Bill's "Culture Warrior" is #17. And O'Reilly's book stands at #2 on a list the OlbyTome never could crack: New York Times Best Sellers. Monday's Neilsens gave the No-Spin Zone nearly 2.5 million viewers; Krazy Keith did better than usual (648k), but still finished third, both in total viewers and in Keith's coveted, all-important, critical, key "demo". Tonight's MisterMeter reading: 2 [LOW].

Yes O'Lamely, that is a good plan. Wish torture and death on the President who is trying to keep you safe from terrorists. I have a better idea -- you bunk up with a few released Jihadists. You do realize that when we try to release these jerks from Guantanamo and send them back where they came from, their native countries refuse to accept them? You didn't know that you half-witted slug? Why am I not surprised.

Maybe you should ask yourself what the native countries are so afraid of. After all, these poor kids are being held for no reason -- they are little innocent cuddly bunnies. Here is something to read dopey:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20061017/ts_nm/security_guantanamo_allies_dc

"British officials recently rejected a U.S. offer to transfer 10 former British residents from Guantanamo to the United Kingdom, arguing that it would be too expensive to keep them under surveillance, the newspaper said, citing documents made public this month in London."

"Britain has also staved off a legal challenge by the relatives of some prisoners who sued to require the British government to seek their release, The Washington Post said."

"Germany and other European allies, which have spoken out against Guantanamo, also have balked at accepting prisoners from the facility, the Post said."

Gotta love Euroweenies! Release the prisoners (but don't give them to us). What a joke, kinda like you O'Lamely.

Posted by: KfK at October 17, 2006 08:38 PM

Of course, Olby tries to spin David Kuo's negative comments about him. Your program is not a newscast Keith - it's an echo chamber. And how classy of you to attack those who don't think their comments should be twisted for your own agenda.

Olby has hidden under his desk in the past and refused to do his show. These instances occured at the height of the Clinton Lewinskygate scandal, when Keith just couldn't bear to do the show for some reason. Lest you think this a joke, there is documentation to back these allegations up.

Posted by: KfK at October 17, 2006 08:57 PM

KO continues his campaign of disinformation against the Military Commissions Act. This time he enlists the aid of his buddy Turley, the only person on earth smarmier than KO himself. Neither appears to have actually read Hamdan v. Rumsfeld, in which the Court scolded the administration for not first getting the authority of Congress before trying Hamdan in a military tribunal. But it clearly left open the possibility that the President could seek congressional authority to do so. For example, Justice Breyer wrote a concurring opinion in which he was joined by Souter, Ginsberg, and Kennedy. In it he asserted that:
"The Courts conclusion ultimately rests
upon a single ground: Congress has not
issued the Executive a blank check. Indeed,
Congress has denied the President the
legislative authority to create military
commissions of the kind at issue here.
Nothing prevents the President from
returning to Congress to seek the authority
he believes necessary."
So what does W do? He goes to Congress and gets the authority to convene military tribunals. In other words, he does exactly what the Supremes told him he needed to do. But you won't hear any of this from the Edward R Murrow of our time or his tinfoil hat ventriloquist dummy.

Missy,

I agree. Lynn Stewart is the obvious choice for O'Lamely.

As for your comment Lamely, the Brits and Krauts are criticising us publicly, and screwing us privately. They inspire nutjobs like you to complain about Guantanamo, all the while realizing that the people held there are dangerous Jihadists who were captured on battlefields.

How 'bout you and Lynn Stewart go down there for Halloween and cheer the Jihadis up as a first date? If you are lucky they won't try to kill you and will merely throw their excreta on you.

Lets see ... Keith actually made it to third place on Monday night in the ratings, a night with no special comment but with an ex-Bush Administration Republican on who disagreed with Olbermann's questions/remarks, turning the show from an echo chamber into one in which -- for at least a few minutes -- people could actually hear differing points of view.

What a unique and revolutionary concept. Perhaps Dan Abrams ought to get Keith to try it on a nightly basis, and see if he can finally put some distance between himself, Nancy Grace and reruns of "Deal or No Deal" on CNBC.

KO's supposed hero Edward R. Murrow is spinning in his grave. Olbermann is the most pathetic excuse of a journalist I've ever seen.

He spends a week pulling selected material out of a book, without even talking to the author about it. When the author criticizes KO for getting it wrong, Olbermann rips the author.

Why not bring the guy on the show and let the truth come out? Oh. Sorry. KO isn't about truth. He's about spinning everything to make Bush and Republicans look bad.

This guy couldn't pass a Journalism 101 course at a community college.

Posted by: bigred at October 17, 2006 10:06 PM

Although the topic of tomorrow's "Special Comment" may seem familiar, last time it was a Countdown "Investigation."

Is KO really running out of material to the extent that he has to rehash his own stuff? There is nothing else that irritates him?

OBTW, KO, on his original investigation, claimed this act deprives persons held of 9 of the 10 items of the Bill of Rights (wrong on its face because there are 3 rights in the First Amendment alone). Are these guys really deprived of freedom of religion? Freedom of speech?

KO said that "as former Secretary of Education in the Clinton Administration" Shalala should have been especially sensitive to sending the right message to students about improper behavior.

Good point KO, but Shalala was secretary of health and human services in the Clinton Administration not secretary of education.

Small error admittedly but can you imagine what KO would have done had O'Reilly made that mistake?

Why hasn't Georgetown tried hiring you? You're clearly a much smarter legal expert than Jonathon Turley. Why are you a no-name hack instead of taking a prestigious position somewhere? Do you just not want to upstage other lawyers with your brilliance?

Whether you agree with O'Reilly or not, at least he has guests who offer both sides of an issue. When has KO ever done that, barring last night's miraculous appearance by John Ashcroft?

Olbermann's pathetic excuse of a show will NEVER surpass O'Reilly's because his point of view is geared to a pathetic group of blind lemmings who can't think for themselves.

You can agree or disagree with O'Reilly and he brings on guests who disagree all the time.

Posted by: bigred at October 17, 2006 11:56 PM

bigred,
Olbermann has a degree from Cornell. Where is your degree from?

All you people sound jealous and scary. Half of you inbreds probably don't know the difference between a homerun and a fumble yet you listen to Dan Patrick's radio show to hear Keith? Maybe you should try to get a job instead of listening to the radio and searching the internet for information on some girl's family. Don't you feel creepy when you're searching for personal information about a college student and her family when you've never met or talked to them? Don't you think you might need mental help if you're that messed up?

Posted by: Colbert at October 18, 2006 12:04 AM

Krazy Keith the orange man set the bar for personal attacks on others and wallowing in their pain and suffering. It turns out he also sets the bar in actually being a freak.....bubble bath anyone?

Not that it's any of your business, Colbert, but my degree is from one of the most prestigious schools in the southeast, I make a very good living and I played baseball in high school.

I don't give a damn about Olby's personal life, yours or anyone else's for that matter. I do care about the b.s. he spews on television.

He & Patrick were great together on Sportscenter.
I even enjoy his segments on Buck O'Neil and completely agree with KO that Buck should be in the Baseball Hall of Fame. I met Buck O'Neil in Kansas City and the man was a national treasure.

However, Olbermann has become a mindless, spineless, completely partisan loon who tries to pass himself off as a journalist. Anyone with any objectivity could watch that show and see that it is completely one-sided and lacking any of the basic journalistic standards of ethics, integrity, research, balanced reports, etc.

What's really pathetic about this is, if KO actually brought on guests that disagreed with him, the show might actually be interesting and get more viewers.

You should feel creepy for coming here and displaying what a moron you are colbert, you have not the brains to even defend yourself or your socialist traitor hero.

"Welcome to Hyperbole City, as the infamous, deplorable Keith Olbermann kicked off his opening spiel by bellowing that the newly-signed Military Commissions law was comparable to the old Alien and Sedition Act, and the internment of Japanese Americans"

This is funny. Bush-appologists across the right-wing (and recently Olbermann posters cee and Grammie) have long used these same historical analogies to argue that the Military Commissions legisaltion is A-OK.

Posted by: Sir Loin of Beef at October 18, 2006 08:38 AM

Keith does not write the show anymore since he joins Dan Patrick to do the radio show, that is why I quit watching it. He is a great writer. I love his writing that is why I watch him every night since March 2003 until now. He has his writers or producers to do the show, most of them are replayed. He has his own style of writing and not too many can satisfy him, so he ends up have to rewrite the whole show, he said it before. Now he has his 22-years-old-liev-in girlfriend, who was a producer at a local staion in LA, she is working for him, but not sure how much she contributes to the show. She is young and inexperienced, a fresh grad.

Thanks for alerting me he has a special comment tonight, I get to find something else to watch, definitely not Project Runway, which his girlfriend likes and makes him watch with her. I think there is a game tonight, Mets and Cardinals, yay. Next week, is the World Series, don't even think I will watch his show.

I thought his young honey was too busy spending Sugar Daddy Keith's money buying Prada and Marc Jacobs bags and shoes to actually have to work for a living. Somehow, I seriously doubt he's gotten her a job yet unless it's to get her out of the house because she's already driving him (even more) crazier than he already is. It seems to me that her new job is advising him on how to look like a burlap-wearing Easter egg. Wonder how she liked his jab at the Woody Allen-child bride last night? Glass houses Keith. Glass houses.

Keith is the news host version of Travis Bickle / John Hinckley Jr. He rants and raves like an insane man just to impress little Katy Turd. It's just a matter of time before he completely loses it.

If the dems win Olbs first special comment will call for impeachment. Maybe this special comment will get the impeachment talk started as in there should be an investigation into President Bush. Will hate to see next two years if the dems win.

Posted by: Anonymous at October 18, 2006 10:35 AM

The Dems aren't winning anything. They may have the press and Olby, but they also have Lynn Stewart, Kos, DU, and the lefties in Congress who vote against National Security every chance they get. Karl Rove is the man, and he is confident of victory:

http://www.washtimes.com/national/20061018-123042-6508r.htm

After the mid-term elections, Olby's "specious comments" will be about "stolen elections" or "GOP dirty tricks" and his ratings will be nice 'n low, just the way we like 'em.

***************************************************
So KO labels O'Reilly and FOX WPITW for putting a (D) next to Foley's name even though they admitted the mistake and corrected it..but for the SECOND time in a year KO and MSNBC used the wrong pic of Boortz and no one apologized.

Now could it be that KO really dosen't know what Max Cleland looks like? How could the new "Murrow" not know what a famous former Senator and War vet looks like after doing a ton of stories about him during the '04 election in regards to Kerry and the Swift boat veterans for truth?

Or did he just wanted to use that pic of him because in it he really looks old and wanted to use it slam Boortz with it and just didn't care about Cleland?

Many thanks to Olbermann for the excellent coverage of the dimunition or destruction of the Great Writ by our own little tyrant, in association with our cowardly Congress. Absent the Supreme Court showing more courage than Congress, a most doubtful proposition, we have all but lost a fundamental feature of American law and life. The loss is imeasurable. Olbermann will be remembered as the American with a spine when we had all lost ours.

The good old days I am talking about were the ones when Americans valued the idea of "Leave me the hell alone if I aint bothering you or breaking no laws.I will worship or not the way I want. I will raise childrenn or not the way I want. I do not wish or need to meddle in other countries affairs. I mind my own damn business, do my own work, and couldn't care less if my neighbor is doing what the hell ever as long as they respect my rights, I will respect theirs."

"Let's see....getting rid of slavery...who was that president, ummmm, right LINCOLN!, and he was a hmmmmmmm, lets see now, Republican! Hey wait a sec...the Republicans....that's right they are the party that passed the civil rights act over the objections of many democrats including algore sr...."

Get your facts straight both parties voted the act in overwhelming numbers and it was kennedy administration that drafted the thing.

If you don'y buy it from me. i'll look for a post from robert cox saying the same thing

You guys are right. People in other countries shouldn't have rights like us, we should do whatever we want to them.

You know people who defend things like Habeas Corpus on youtube get low ratings and people that attack it get high ratings. You think you might be the majority, but on the highest media site on the web.. all you people look like is garbage. You sick f*** that support bush.. how dare you call yourself americans. You support this dictatorship? Any form of dictatorship is wrong. Am I right? Answer that one question.. and don't go off on other things or your just proving my point of how sick you are.

it's simple 7 ones we support the President and you support terrorists. There is no "dictatorship" you left wingnut. The only people that the democrats seek to hold accountable for anything- even if it is fabricated out of whole cloth is republicans.
how dare YOU call yourself an American while supporting the terrorists who seek to destroy America? You want to see sick ? look in the mirror.

kfk,
You're delusional and an idiot. I see you and your 80 IQ expected Rove to say "We're done. We're going to get creamed, demolished, abused. We might lose 50 seats in the House and Ten in the Senate. Republicans shouldn't bother voting. It doesn't matter anymore."

Ah Colbert, you mentally incompetent loon,

Mr. Rove had facts to back up his claims, and he is usually right. All your trusted MSM sources predicted 300 electoral votes for Kerry -- "a landslide" they said. Karl Rove predicted everything correctly.

Anyway, it's all OK little boy, don't worry -- there is nothing you can do. Democrats campaign on higher taxes and more rights for terrorists, and only so many stupid people will buy that baloney. I can't wait for the exit polls ("Democrats in lead in every race"). All you lefties will be so excited until the real poll data comes in.

Vote for me and I will:

1. Surrender in Iraq
2. Give more rights to terrorists, let them go, stop interrogating them
3. Raise taxes
4. Start investigations that go nowhere at public expense
5. Immediately give Kim Jong Il what he wants
6. Immediately give Ahmadinejad what he wants
7. Kiss the UN's ass

Now, with a winning platform like that, how could they lose?

Vote for me and I will:

1. stay in Iraq till we lose at least 50,000 men and bankrupt the coffers.
2. round up any friends of yours with greencards and torture them for the rest of their lives.
3. declaree you enemy combatant if you speak out against me.
3. Cut taxes on the rich an kill all social programs.
4. Pass laws that protect you from previous laws you have broken.
5. Start a war with North Korea.
6. star a war with Iran.
7. turn the rest of the world against us.

Now, with a winning platform like that, how could they lose?

"Mr. Rove had facts to back up his claims, and he is usually right. All your trusted MSM sources predicted 300 electoral votes for Kerry -- "a landslide" they said. Karl Rove predicted everything correctly."

This class is a demonstration of the logical fallacy of Appeal to Authority.

An Appeal to Authority is a fallacy with the following form:

Person A is (claimed to be) an authority on subject S.
Person A makes claim C about subject S.
Therefore, C is true.

Of the six common standards of assessment for this kind of reasoning. KFK violates two.

1. The source is biased,(Mr. Rove, is not an objective commentator.)

2. There is significant disagreement regarding this statement among other experts in the field. (a majority of political analyst are now picking the democrats to win)

In KFK's next post we will cover Red Herring's

Connor,
Lincoln was a liberal in regard to slavery. The conservatives wanted to keep slavery. Democrats such as Strom Thurmond voted voted against the Civil Rights Act. LBJ, a liberal Democrat, was the one who pushed it through and signed it. Go ask the Conservative Citizens Council how they feel about civil rights.

kfk,
I realize you have no clue how polling works and your simple mind wouldn't understand it if I explained it to you. You keep dreaming about the Republicans winning. I hope you don't cry too much when they lose.

colbert I thought you were going to france to persuit your hobby of buggering little boys. why do you still spew your stupidity here? You don't even have the sense to realize that you are a mental midget and get trounced here evry time you post one of your idiotic sixth grade comments.
What has the CCC got to do with anything? how about asking the democrats how they feel about NMBLA or ask why your party supported traitor and terrorist supporter lyn stewart? why don't you come back and try again once you reach puberty colbert ? Man you are one dumb puppy.

little billy,
You're the one who posted your graphic sexual fantasy about Bill Orally. You're the one who lovingly described his genitalia. Don't blame me for your homesexuality. You're gay. Deal with it. You can blame the uncle who touched you or whatever you want. But all I did was call you on your perverted post.

2008 will bring no such thing, as no Republican President will waste resources for the will of the tinfoil hat brigades endless fantasy.

colbert it is always funny how whiny you et when you get smacked down. you are the typical liberal asstard always blaming somebody else for things you have done. You are the fag and fag defender not me. every time you post you prove what a mental midget you are. It's funny when you start whining like a litle girl.

How nasty and hateful these comments are. Well, I suppose that the impending collapse of the GOP will do that. Good luck in November, you WATBs.

I just love when people get on the ole 'net and share their emotional tirades of death and judgement. Great uber-scheudenfraude Batman! It must be such a good stress reliever. I think the President and Republicans are so nice to play the punching bag. I'd also like to thank the President and his brother for keeping the hurricanes off the coast this season.

Angry people like KO should really seriously think about moving to the Middle East and working for Al-Jazeera. They behead anyone who insults Islam. At least that would be very cathartic for the foaming-at-the-mouth, angry, tragically misinformed, Olberman types.

"how about asking the democrats how they feel about NMBLA or ask why your party supported traitor and terrorist supporter lyn stewart?"

Here's your answers, you dipstick.

NAMBLA has not, nor will it ever be supported by, Democrats. But unless someone rewrote the First Amendment since I went to bed last night, they are entitled to exercise their right of free speech so long as they don't ACT on it. If they do act on it, then by all means throw them in jail.

As for Stewart, don't use the word traitor. It's a very precise word, and your callous disregard for what it really means shows your inability to see beyond the simple "black or white" choice. And so far as I know, not a SINGLE prominent Democrat has stepped forward and said ANYTHING about this. So shut yer yap.

lyn stewart IS a traitor!! She passed information from the santa claus sheik to other terrorists.
defending that scabeous communist toad stewrat is just outrageous! she should face afiring squad not 28 monthes in jail. why si it you leftist progressives always try and defend communists and traitors. And go ahead and try and tell me lyn stewart in not a communist now. Man what kind of low life ignoramus does it take to even try and defend lyn sewart??
and right and wrong IS a black and white choice.
there are no shades of gray like the liberlas like to portray only what is right and what is wrong ..
SO SHUT YOUR LIBERAL YAP you fucking left wing moron and traitor supporter.

"SO SHUT YOUR LIBERAL YAP you fucking left wing moron and traitor supporter."

Did I say I supported her? DID I, YOU NITWIT?

What she did was WRONG and she should go to jail. And I say that as someone who has experience in the legal profession. But it does not rise to the level of treason required under Federal Law.

Stop putting words in my mouth, wingnut.
