"COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN" (8:00 P.M.-9:00 P.M. ET)
Host: Keith Olbermann
Topics/Guests:
The spiel: Iraq study group, Hoyer vs Murtha, Clinton vs Giuliani, fake anthrax mailings and their connection to "far right wing blogs", Bill O'Reilly, and Cruise News! The Hour of Spin proper began with chaos in Iraq, which is--guess what?--a metaphor! For political chaos in the US. The ever-malleable Howard Fineman was first to occupy the Seat of Honor.
Howie said Dems are not going to rush anything regarding Iraq because "it's George Bush's war". The continued violence connects to Iran, and the world will go "hat in hand" to them for help. KO suggested the Iraq government and/or police force may be "totally corrupt"; Fineman opined that we are not likely to abandon the Iraq government. He was great thanksed.
Then Herr Olbermann swerved to the leadership battle in the House: Murtha vs Hoyer. After we excoriated the infamous, deplorable Keith Olbermann for refusing to report on the dubious ethics of Rep Murtha, Olbermann Watch enjoyed a small victory tonight as Krazy Keith actually made a passing reference to the controversy. Of course, he didn't detail any of the specifics, preferring instead to read a lengthy, vague, self-serving statement from Murtha. Stoddard, who discussed the charges at length earlier on A-Mess-NBC, didn't get the chance to do so with Keith. KO controls the questioning on The Hour of Spin, and he made sure she didn't go there. She instead talked about how "conservative" Murtha is on some issues. Monkeymann wanted to know if the warm reception given to Sen Joe Lieberthal was some sort of Democrat "appeasement", but Stoddard said it was the smart thing to do. She was thanksed.
#4: Clinton, Giuliani, and the 2008 race. The segment focused heavily on Hillary, and lefty Alter was happy to play along. It was a thrilling specularama, with Alter noting that independents "flock" to the Hillary Clinton banner, and elevating Obama to a "serious threat". Giuliani may be "formidable", McCain may look "old". In this segment, Citizen Keith repeatedly referred to "Senator" Clinton, but oddly never once used the phrase "Mrs" Clinton. Alter was many thanksed.
After "oddball", it was time for "Fat Ass" Olbermann to focus on "right-wing hate": the "rhetoric" that "inspired" fake anthrax attacks. Turns out it was all the fault of those eeevil "right-wing" blogs and, indirectly, Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin, and Laura Ingraham--because he praised them in some posted comments. Cook was asked to detail the "link" to the "right-wing blogs", and cited Free Republic (which is not even a blog) as his case in point. Cook said he praised these people in his profile there, even while admitting that there is no proof it really was the fake anthrax guy's profile, only "circumstantial" evidence. He then tossed in this stinkbomb:
I don't think we can always hold there people responsible for the actions of the least hinged of their followers, but I think it is clear that, that he was an acolyte of, of, of, of the Coulters and the Malkins, and I think that they clearly enjoy having acolytes...they certainly exhort their followers to let themselves be known.
KO was quick to claim he was not an acolyte, he was "emulating" Malkin, who published addresses "and other personal information" of antiwar protesters on her blog. Of course, Krazy Keith doesn't tell anyone that the "personal information" she published came right off the protesters' website, and could be found elsewhere on the internet as well. Does this sound familiar? Yes, it's the same slander he used against Bill O'Reilly for publishing a "private email adress" of a newspaper guy--an address that could be found right on the newspaper's website! "Man on Fan" Olbermann never lets the truth get in the way of a good smear. Cook chimed in about Michelle being "truculent", "thuggish", and "intimidating"; Coulter is "ludicrous" and "outrageous" and a "professional agitator". Cook suggested that maybe Ann really doesn't intend to incite violence, but Olby was having none of it:
Yeah, until, until it, you know, bursts into gunfire.
#2: Teacher/student sex (recycled NBC report), Madonna, Brangelina. #1: Cruise News! with the creepy Michael Musto. With jokes about Helen Keller and chastity belts, a good time was had by all--except the hapless viewers. In the Media Matters Minute, Michael Savage got a nod.
Muted mongrels: Another historic high for the stock market, but a booming economy doesn't fit OlbySpin, so it doesn't get reported. To cover for his buddies in Tehran, Citizen Keith also spiked the fact that the IAEA found plutonium and enriched uranium where there shouldn't have been any. Krazy Keith, so sensitive to GOP "scandals", has refused to report on the objections to Rep Murtha raised by C.R.E.W., a group that KO himself had on Countdown when they were criticizing Republicans. On OlbyPlanet, their objections to Dems just aren't news. As we predicted, Herr Olbermann gave us an entire segment on "right-wing hate" based on his fake anthrax letter, but the spinmeister never dealt with similar letters sent to a conservative talk station and to a right-wing talk show host--or the blue blogs whose "rhetoric" may have "inspired" the threats. Sometimes Monkeymann just makes all this too easy.
Olbermann's book The book that bears Olbermann's name is #213 at amazon, while Mr Bill's "Culture Warrior" rose to #16. At Barnes & Noble the OlbyTome sunk to #3,244, while O'Reilly's book moved up to #27. And Mr Bill's literary triumph sits in the #3 slot on the New York Times Best Sellers list. After his disastrous showing on Friday night, anything would have been an improvement, so Monday night, traditionally Countdown's most-watched day, found Krazy Keith in second place, both in total viewers, and in his critical, beloved, all-important, coveted "key demo". Even so, the eeevil Mr Bill had 1,689,000 more viewers than the discredited sports guy--that's more than three times the viewership that suffered through The Hour of Spin.
To hear johnny dollar talking about generalizing a group of people (conservative bloggers in this case) is laughable. Wait 1 hour to see sweeping generalizations about Countdown watchers or Democrats or liberals etc.
Because liberals never make sweeping generalizations about conservatives. . .
"johnny dollar talking about generalizing a group of people "
When Johnny Dollar starts anchoring a cable news show, I'll join you in your protest.
"Hey, hey, ho-ho, JD and KO have got to go"
Ohboy, you'll know that johnny dollar is speculating, assuming if you will, that Olbermann will claim that all those on the right are crazy nuts that mail white powder to people they hate. Olbermann hasn't done that, he might, he might not, but to hear johnny dollar act as if generalizations are a high crime when he speaks in generalizations every single day is hilarious.
and Brandon, I never said people on the left do it, but I think people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Johnny dollar generalizes all the time, and if he wants to criticize Olbermann without even knowing if he'll do it I expect him not to make any more generalizations as well.
people on the left don't do it*
Nonfactor:
"Ohboy, you'll know that johnny dollar is speculating,"
Yes, he is indeed speculating. But if that's a crime, KO should get life-plus 50 years (e.g., Chris "Monkey" Wallace jumped Clinton as part of a White House conspiracy; Drudge got a critical ABC internal memo from the White House, et cetera, et cetera).
Priorities, priorities.
JD is a blogger who speculate; KO is a news anchor who speculate.
Which is the more egregious sin?
I never said it was a crime, Ohboy, I was commenting on how funny it is that johnny dollar (a king of generalizations himself) is mad about generalizations that haven't even happened yet.
Thank you J$, I get to spend my hour doing something easier than watching KO......
like having a high colonic.
Olby certainly has problems with pronouncing city names, doesn't he?
NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. stocks rallied on Tuesday, pushing the Dow to a record closing high, after Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and Target Corp. posted stronger-than-expected profits and inflation data eased interest-rate concerns.
Either this gets no mention or Olbermann says "Dow higher with democratic win".
I cannot believe this idiot is given one hour of NBC's airtime from Monday through Friday at 8 p.m. I keep waiting for someone to throw a net over him and take him away, but alas, he's still there.
the terrorist is 39 living at home... damn you rightwingers sure know how to impress your women.
Hey site owner-
Has the FBI contacted YOU yet? The UnaFreeper REALLY hated KO, I bet he posted here!
(sorry about the Dem sweep lasy week, RepubliCONS!
BWWWWWAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!
TEHRAN, Iran - President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Tuesday that Iran would soon celebrate completion of its nuclear fuel program and claimed the international community was ready to accept it as a nuclear state.
Most likely will not be mentioned tonight.
Anonymous,,, no Tucker Carlson is on at 3.00 PST,, you rightwingers not do not know what century we are in, and apparently you have no idea how to tell time either
Iran most definitely will not be mentioned tonight.
So what was the handle that the mamma's-boy wing-nut white-powder terrorist posted under here at Olbermannwatch? My money's on "Red Wolf".
And yet another slam at a woman, this time, a "middle-aged woman" according to KO: Madonna. Never mind she's HIS age.
Anon doesn't know NBC from MSNBC.
Must be a freeper!
I'M SERIES!
THIS IS HUGH!
WE'RE SCREWN!
BWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!
Another fine show by Olbermann. Keep up the good work Keith.

Take a look at that.. now tell us that FAUX news is not in the pocket of the rightwingers.
You anonymous fools may be right about one thing: Iran will not be talked about much on any media outlet...at least until Baker's commission recommends that we beg the Iranians to take Iraq into hand, and Bush complies.
48 is not middle aged until you have turned 96.
Then you might want to remind KO of HIS age and ask him how he'd describe himself. I vote for Old Fart.
hmm,, well you see 48 is not old either... come on you cannot be that simplistic... oh wait.. maybe you are.
But you see, the point is that Olbermann has quite the history of slamming women, and if they're over a certain age, say early-20's to him they have no worth whatsoever. I believe the term is Mysognistic. See his slams earlier this evening against Malkin, Ingraham, and Coulter.
" come on you cannot be that simplistic... oh wait.. maybe you are."
Someone who praises the "spicket" of intelligence that KO has should be reluctant to question other people's IQ.
Spicket?
Knuckle, meet head.
It's always been quite remarkable to me that Olbermann's fan base seems to be overwhelmingly female and of a certain age. What does it say about their IQ that they can't see the disdain he has for women in general and the specific disdain he has for women over a certain age?
Well Malkin,, Cuntler and Ingrahm are worthless Faux news slags. He should be harder against those slags.
I forgot insulting CONSERVATIVES is okay. But oh no, no one can ever say anything negative about a liberal: that's inflammatory.
"See his slams earlier this evening against Malkin, Ingraham, and Coulter."
What slams? Did he call them speed-cranked, bloodsoaked skanks? Did he mention the head of Coulter's self-resented penis hanging below the hem of her skirt in a recent appearance? All I heard was Olbermann mentioning these soul-less harridans as objects of worship by the sissy mail-terrorist that was caught this week.
> Well Malkin,, Cuntler and Ingrahm are worthless Faux news slags.
Watch out, O'Lielly. You are inciting violence against women on the part of all Keith's acolytes.
And as usual, you are factually wrong. Neither Coulter nor Ingraham work for Fox News. But like Olby, you don't let truth get in the way of a good smear.
Did they personally instruct this obviously mentally ill individual to mail these letters? No, I didn't think so.
Johnny.,.. you know damn well if you see Malkin or Ingraham on TV they are on Faux,,, Cuntler says enough dumbass things to get her vile seen all over the country.
"Did they personally instruct this obviously mentally ill individual to mail these letters? No, I didn't think so. "
No one said they did, moron. I was asking what "slams" you percieved against these Nazi sluts from Olbermann's show tonight.
Citizen Keith was back in rare form...That was quite a "liberal hit job" he did on Malkin, Coulter and Ingram. Amazing how this baby powder cook was an "acolyte" of these conservative women. Amazing how his guests fawn and koo at Krazy Keith.
Certainly and entertaining hour of Olbyganda. An instant classic.
Great write-up Johnny. As always...spot on!
> you know damn well if you see Malkin or Ingraham on TV they are on Faux,,,
Of course Malkin is; she works for them. Ingraham and Coulter do not. You can spout and call names and insert three commas in a row, but that won't hide the fact that you are factually wrong and, like Olbermann, afraid to admit it.
The hit job on the women was especially egregious. Amazing what passes for "Journalism".
Why didn't Keith choose to only single out conservative women? Why not just blame this on O'Reilly like he usually does for everything else?
The hit job on the women was especially egregious. Amazing what passes for "Journalism".
Olby needs a new schtick...perhaps Dancing with the Stars?
Yeah, Olby could go on Dancing with the Stars. But the question is, what Star would want to dance with him?
HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT:
Recipe for Delicious Olberturkeybutt:
Watch Glenn Beck at 7 or 9 pm on CNN Headline and interject a little Olberyuck and then compare the two.
O'Lielly,
If it's news when foreigners disaprove of US foreign policy then it is also news if the enemy expresses an opinion about the recent elections.
HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT:
Recipe for Delicious Thanksgiving OLBERTURKBUTT:
Watch Glenn Beck on CNN Headline either at 7 or 9 p.m. Wednesday and baste with a little KO and see just who wins HA!
Loved the idiotic "hat in hand" comment from Fineman on Iran. Iran, the enablers of the violence now become they key powerbroker in the region.
Olby cracks me up. How he can focus on on "right-wing hate" that "inspired" fake anthrax attacks while ignoring the left wing hate that inspires terrorists is beyond me. Jihadists quote Jack Murtha, Michael Moore and Howard Dean in their rants. Last I checked, terrorists were openly endorsing Democrats for God's sake! Oh well, stupid is as stupid does. Carry on Herr Olbermann.
Kfk,
there's nothing worth talking about that isn't beyond you.
> you know damn well if you see Malkin or Ingraham on TV they are on Faux,,,
********************************************
Well Malkin was on Chrissy Matthews Hardball once and he kept shouting and spitting at her..so no wonder she's only on FOX now.
And another thing KO left out about his rant against Malkin was how a left-wing blog site put up a map to her house which forced her to move.
KfK said:
"Last I checked, terrorists were openly endorsing Democrats for God's sake!"
You know what, KfK? You can go jump in a lake.
Unless you have Democrats endorsing terrorism, STFU.
Why do I give a FLYING FUCK who terrorist's root for? The last I checked, THEY DON'T VOTE!

How about:

Then apply the sentence to Olbermann.

OBL and the Jihadists ARE Conservatives. The Fundy Type.
One of OBL's rants was about Clinton's BJ, sex in movies, and loose morals of the USA.
It could have easily been written by Falwell, Delay, or 50% of the wingnut faction of the GOP.
Birds of a feather.
Anonymous,
If you don't care what the terrorists think, since "they don't vote", then why do you liberals care what the french, germans, and dutch care about our foreign policy, since they, too, don't vote in this country?
To Sir Loin of Beef and the Jihadi loving Leftists,
Sorry to disapoint but I wasn't the guy arrested for the Olbermann Anthranx scare.
I would simply punch Olbermann in the face if I saw him for being a traitor.
As another poster pointed out Olbermann didn't say a word of the enriched Plutonium and Uranium found in Iran. He didn't condem President Ahmadinajed. he's a supporter of the Iranian regime along with their Al-Qaeda\Hizballah\Hamas Fascist allies.
Red Wolf the a--hole said:
"He didn't condem President Ahmadinajed. he's a supporter of the Iranian regime along with their Al-Qaeda\Hizballah\Hamas Fascist allies."
I told you once, SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH! DO YOU HEAR ME, SHIT-FOR-BRAINS? My God, you are hands down the sorriest SON-OF-A-BITCH I have ever heard. Do you actually try to sound like a moron, or does it come naturally?

how dare ko say bad things about murtha...don't they know he's a veteran?
To Anonymous,
Olbermann never condems the Islamo-Fascists. Instead he has guests that praise UIran. Olbermann also praised Hizballah in their conflict with Israel.
Why don't you post with a name and dispute my facts!

AWOLbUSH,
If The Islamo-Fascists are conservatives why are theyr happy of a Democratic victory?
Al-Qaeda, Iran, Hamas and Hizballah congratulated the Dems and called Americans cowards.

Good grief.
I think that the Olberdonkey himself is here posting this vile crap about Coulter, et.al. Doesn't have the balls to identify himself. Typical lib. Throws s**t out, but can't take it.
bloody moron.
BTW, I'm a veteran (USMC), so you can't criticize me.

No, I was trying to say that no one has to embarass you because you do it so well to yourself that I am embarassed for your lack of embarassment aboutyou being so easily embarassed by anyone here who can do more than make up funny names for Keith and liberals. If you though I said something else you missed the point miserably.
Hey Anonymous,
Why don't you make up a funny name for yourself?
There are definitely some intelligent right wing posters on this blog....Janet comes to mind right off the bat, along with a few others. However KfK & Red Wolf are definitely NOT among them! Some of the most moronic posts I have ever read regularly come from those two. I would imagine their hero would likely be somebody like Michael Savage!
This is attack on Malkin and others is just guilt by association just because this nut posted on some right-wing sites..KO trying to say he only did it because of them...Well then I quess it's Al Gore's fault that the Unibomber killed all those people..afterall Gore's book was found at his shack and they shared the same views on Global warming.
What booming economy? OK, it's booming for the globalists on Wall Street, that's for sure. But what about the millions of people whose good paying, good benefit jobs were sent overseas and had to take low paying, no benefit jobs at Wal-Mart or at fast food joints?
Anonymous sez:

Keith, is that you? Is this a portion of the latest "specious comment"?

First of all, what is your evidence that all jobs are either on Wall Street or Wal Mart? Do you really believe this little fantasy of yours?
In addition, "the good paying, good benefit jobs" that have "gone overseas" are not compatible with corporate solvency. Do you think Americans want to have to deal with outsourcing? Don't you think they'd rather keep operations in the U.S.?
Huge benefits and pensions are killing the big three auto makers. If you want these jobs back, convince the unions that sucking the blood of the company only works if you leave some blood behind to keep the company alive.
Nocturne, I know you think that the proletariat deserves to be wealthy while the corporate fat cats sweat in the Gulag -- your post stinks of it.
I agree with Nocturne!
Mankind is divided into rich and poor, into property owners and exploited; and to abstract oneself from this fundamental division and from the antagonism between poor and rich means abstracting oneself from fundamental facts.
--Keith Olbermann
Don't worry my sweet. I am stil lingering in the roof of your mouth. We are together forever and I will decide when we end.
Perhaps I will take a trip to see how my expansion plans for the lungs and stomach are doing.
I'll be back, Keith. I'll be back.
Let me help you out here, Cox...
An intelligent exposition of a factually lacking news program can be found at media matters (mediamatters.org). Note that they avoid such esoteric terms as "fat-ass" and "herr" and "monkey-man" and concentrate on facts...
Here's hoping that you learn something...
We have learned from Keith Rat. We've learned how to call people Monkeys, Fat-Asses, and any number of other comments. He's been quite helpful in helping us extend our vocabulary. Why YOU continue to support a man who is obviously mentally deranged himself is beyond my understanding however.
Brandon,
As usual, no real response...
To the kiddie pool with you, son...
Let me help you out here, blindrat...
An intelligent reading of this post would show that it was written by Johnny Dollar not by me. If you have a problem with the wording of this post direct your remarks to the author and concentrate on facts...
Here's hoping that you learn something...
Daddy, don't touch me there - it hurts.

blindrat's son
Nah, I'm guessing Blindrat is one of KO's over-40 female fans that he wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole.
Cox,
I was refering to your site in general. Sorry if I wasn't clear...
Brandon,
Over forty...yes...
Female...no
rat-
so your saying that keith would touch you?
Cox,
It is a warning sign when those who agree with you are as vacuous as these folks...
The hits keep coming with KO.
Monkeymann is more fun then a barrel of Chris Wallaces....er...a...Monkeys!!!
I never knew I could extract so much enjoyment from the Clowned Prince of MSNBC.
Citizen Keith...defender of the weak. Sits at the left hand of Michael Moore... Perry White was his hero ! Great Caesar's Ghost !!
Olby....what will you have for us tonight? We need more leftist red meat ?? Beating up on Tom Cruise....again? Very bad. I think Olby is jealous... Maybe he like Katie Holmes, but all he has is Rose E. Palm.
It is a warning sign when those who agree with you are as vacuous as these folks...

At least half of you belong in special ed. That would be the half that doesn't have the brains to know that Keith is a great American.
There really is no need to make sweeping generalizations about conservative commentators. The range of differences in attitude, demeanor and belief is as wide as that between curds and cottage cheese.
While liberal commentators run the gamut from A to B...
All of you on the left...you realize that republicans range from moderate to conservative, right?
All of you on the right...you realize that democrats range from moderate to liberal, right?
So, BOTH SIDES, the sweeping generalizations are NOT VALID!
Give Peace a Chance...
You guys at this blog can spin the ratings any way you'd like, but the fact of the matter is that Olbermann's ratings are growing by over 60% year over year, while O'Reilly's have been falling for quite some time. MSNBC wasn't even on the radar a year ago. Now, Countdown is one of the most talked about newcasts on cable news and showing no signs of slowing down. Your guy, on the other hand, well, he's claiming Iran & North Korea are trying to influence our elections. HA!

Shaun---
I thought our guy was Rush? Have I been getting my marching orders in the wrong place, Shuan? please advise
Hmmmm, so let me get this right - people who like Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin, etc., are thisclose to grabbing guns and shooting people? Sounds like the claptrap the libs spewed after OK City; Rush Limbaugh did it, etc. (actually, I think it was a Rovian conspiracy to get W elected)
No the ratings have NOT grown by 60% as has been well-documented here. You see, Olbermann has a bit of a problem with lying. In fact, he has a huge problem with lying to the point that one ratings claim he made had to be corrected in print by USA Today after Bob pointed out to them that it was utter bullshit. Be very careful in believing ANYTHING Olbermann says. He has this really nasty habit of lying about things both big and small, important and not.
"Olbermann has a bit of a problem with lying"
KO is not alone in this. It seems to be a decidedly liberal trait. Must be something in thier kool-aid... Up is down, good is evil, evil is good, US bad, Terrorists good, etc.
seems to me I've read that somewhere before...
Ummm Brandon, YOU'RE WRONG! At the time the USA Today article was written, he may not have been up 60%, but as of 10/31/06, his total viewers were up 67% this year over last year and the 25-54 demo was up 61% this year over last year. Just so you can't try and spin and lie, here is the link and the story:
Tuesday, Oct 31
Oct. #'s: MSNBC Posts Big Gains With Hardball, Countdown, Scarborough
Fox News and CNN were mostly down in October primetime, compared to the same month a year ago. But MSNBC was mostly up, with Hardball enjoying a 27 percent gain in the demo and Scarborough Country recording a 13 percent increase. Countdown with Keith Olbermann beat CNN's Paula Zahn in the demo again, and came within 2,000 viewers of beating her in total viewers. Olbermann was up 61 percent in the demo versus last year. Here are the hourly numbers:
25-54 demo Total viewers
