Oh my. Wednesday's ratings: Look who finished fourth behind a game show.

http://insidecable.blogsome.com/2006/11/16/wednesdays-numbers-31/#comments

If you notice Glenn Beck's ratings, then you'll know why Olby is so jealous of him.

But that's not where the TV Newser ratings put him.

Let's see how Olby spins the Murtha loss. Now, I listened to news reports most of the day and not one mentioned Dem infighting, but Murtha's ethics issues, as the reason why he lost to Steny Hoyer.

WOW!

What a slapdown of Olbywatch!

The visitors to this site OVERWHELMINGLY love KO.

Where are you legions of followers?

You OlbyHaters are a LONLY crowd! Only 205 out of the several hundred thousand who watch KO every nite.

No wonder you're all so pissy all the time.

Maybe you should go back to hating Clinton!

BWAAAAAAHHHHH!

How did KO do as Election Night co-host?

6,545 answers have been submitted.
A. Great, our Edward R. Murrow / 91% (6004 votes)
B. OK, no harm, no foul /1% (82 votes)
C. Terrible, a fish out of water /3% (205 votes)
D. No idea, did not watch MSNBC /3% (254 votes)

OMG. Arianna. Can't stand her or her annoying voice.

DEMOCRAT INFIGHTING:

In other words, the democrats are not republicans.

Remebering the good ole days, when the republicans showed us how it was done, that the Republican congressional leadership would threaten to withold the Abramhoff checks, would not provide jobs for family members of the republicans that would not vote their way, and any other way of threatening their colleagues into voting their way.

Yep, them days are over,

BTW, glad to see that now that the elections are over, the republicans have decided to return to their comfortable position of being led by the racist segregatitionist that is Trent Lott.

A cool ass video of a big ass plane is being set up by the jackass Olby.

Bush's Visit to Vietnam

the real reason behind this, is so that one day the republicans can say

"President Bush enlisted in the Texas Air National Guard and went to vietnam."

Never mind that it was almost 40 years apart, it will still sound cool.

and forget the fact that is is dishonest in the inference that it makes, that is how republicans speak.

half the truth here, half the truth there.

that is why olberman watch is so popular with some republicans.

Sarah from UCLA might be Olby's next conquest.

Did orange man tan just say thank yu "sir" to the dumb broad he is interviewing?

His eyesight must be going.

I think he said thank you Sarah, but I could be wrong.

Even the NY Times reported on Murtha's ignominious defeat looming.... But, hey there's no infighting according to Citizen Keith. Olbyworld is a strange place.

Billy Bush of Access Hollywood reporting? Are you kidding me? Countdown is a hard-hitting newscast, isn't it?

I'm surprised Olby allowed any relative of "Mister Bush" on his show.

Olby essentially calls President Bush a liar on a nightly basis, but talks about Murtha's "alleged" ethics problems caught on videotape. Olbyganda at it's finest.

Vault to where you are now? You mean plummet, Olby. Into fourth place. Behind "Deal or No Deal." I doubt you are ready to give up on BOR as you said today you would cut his hamstring if he went on Dancing With the Stars. And had to apologize. What a liar.

Even the NY Times :

Oh, you mean the Newspaper that Righties love to claim is liberal, but in truth, was the propaganda machine of Cheneys office in the lead up to the war.

remember the so called journalist that was jailed for refusing to give up carl rove, in the investigation about who it was that put america in danger by leaking top secret information about a CIA officer in working in nuclear non-proliferation.

yeah, she wrote more than 20 articles that were spoon fed to her straight from the office of the vice-president.

that NY Times ?

The krazy tan-man is bragging about 25-54 ratings from 8:45-9:00???
What a load this guy is.

What about the other 4 hours and 45 minutes a week of his show

Olby essentially calls President Bush a liar on a nightly basis,

that is one way of making sure that he is being accurate on his show and the information he provides.

Calling Bush a liar, or just about ANY republican, is by and far the most accuarate and honest statement he can make

Mr. Boomerang has had two Olbergasms tonight - the BOR/GQ story and now the Mike Taibbi CT scan story.

Hey Nunya....

What was Murtha doing on that videotape? Pulling his pudd? Ethics? democrats? don't make me laugh.

Can you be a little more specific? I could say for example that you are nothing but a left wing pile of excrement who buggers his sister and mother. But unless I can site an example it would be nothing more the sheer conjecture, just like most of your post.

In a new twist, our fearless host chose to spend time on his hour show discussing his favorite topic tonight.....

Himself

"For some reason they chose to name me one of their men of the year....."

Can he ever have one single episode without working himself into the storylines?

Olby's enormous ego needs to be fed, and since MSM has barely mentioned (for good reasons) his presence in the current GQ issue, he must do it himself because he needs the attention.

When will Olbermann switch top Al Jazeera International?
I could just see him interviewing Iranian President Ahmadinejad and then great thanksing him!

Murtha wins, it's a great victory for Pelosi and show a unified Democratic Party.

Murth loses, it's a great victory as "it's the best of all possible worlds."

The man is a complete shill for the Democrats. Total, 100% in the tank, shill.

And I wll keep saying this is HORSESHIT smearing. No EVIDENCE. No CORROBORATION.

NO STORY! SO SHUT UP ABOUT IT ALREADY.

Wait until the indictments get handed down. Will that be proof enough for you?

Hey anonymous, where's the EVIDENCE and the CORROBORATION for Abramoff implicating Karl Rove? If Olby can report made-up fake news, he can certainly report real news.

> NO STORY...SHUT UP...

Sorry, anon, you're talking to the wrong person. You should address that to ABC News. They seem to think there is a story there. Now whom am I to believe? ABC News? Anonymous? ABC News? Anonymous? That's a real tough choice.

I think I'll keep mentioning it every day, just for the pleasure of watching you lose it in the comments!

Good heavens, what a masturbatory site this is!

Janet, Question.

Is Bush what you would consider a real conservative? Has his administration lived up to your ideals about smaller government, The rule of law, big brother staying out of peoples lives?

Tell us about your cool sites then.

Johnny D: Another great recap. Thanks for interpeting Olbyplanet...Sometimes, when I listen to Citizen Keith, I feel like I'm at the UN without a headset.

Strom Thurmond made some mistakes, but he was a Great American. Nice to see Trent back where he belongs.

Clem the Clown could have done what Howard "The Scream" accomplished. Carville was thrown under the bus by Huffington...No dissent with the dems....we'll have none of that !

Is Huffington even a citizen?

Little Feechie,

I just saw a news blurb on BET. They showed Trent Lott's comments at Strom Thurmond's 100th birthday party that got him in so much trouble. Then BET displayed the stars and bars in all its glory so that all viewers would know exactly what we Republicans stand for. I think Trent should just go away.

As far as your comments about Strom Thurmond, don't even go there.

Don't go there? You don't even know the man. He was loved by many democrats in South Carolina.
He made mistakes and was forgiven.

your the party with the ex KKK member sitting in the Senate...

here's a box of rocks for your glass house Rico.

Feechie,

I'm a Republican. Get a clue.

and I'm a registered democrat who lived in South Carolina. Strom did a lot of good in the state. I suggest you think before you speak.

Codas, I'll meet you same time, same place this came up tomorrow.

How about the Secret Service logs, for starters? Or the fact that he bragged to executives of Tyco that he had connections to Karl Rove (as documented by Timothy Flanigan, who was Tyco's general counsel and was nominated to the post of deputy Attorney General)? Or that Rove hired Abramoff's former assistant Susan Ralston shortly after reaching the White House (as documented in the Texas Observer)?

More? How about this report from ABC News (dated just two months ago):
http://abcnews.go.com/WNT/story?id=2505039&page=1

"The report from the Republican-led House Government Affairs Committee stated that Abramoff had as many as 485 contacts with the White House, and prime among his lobbying targets was former White House political director Ken Mehlman, and Bush's adviser Karl Rove.

Of those 485 contacts, 345 were described as meetings or other in-person contacts; 71 were described as phone conversations and 69 were e-mail exchanges."

Don't get sensetive about comments like that. Believe me when I tell you, I never intended to do anything but post a passing comment and never come here again. This is a great place I think. Can you imagine what a Jefferson or a Washington, John Adams whoever would have thought about a bunch of strangers sending their thoughts back and forth like we do here? Yeah, it gets kind of goofy sometimes but you'll have that.

> How about this report from ABC News (dated just two months ago):

Sorry, I can't give any credence to ABC News. You told me just a few messages up that their report is a phony, that there is no story there. But now you're citing ABC News? You believe them about a Republican, but not a Democrat?

Man, if you think like that, you just might be an OlbyLoon.

Johnny Dollar said:

Clueless, much? The ABC report on Rove cites a HOUSE GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS COMMITTEE REPORT. I mean, it's RIGHT THERE in the part I quoted. You have eyes, man. Use them, for God's sake!

The ABC report on Reid cites AP articles that have been discredited (and now disproven as even Abramoff's friends say he barely knew any Democrats, let alone lobbied them).

I believe an official finding by a government oversight committee over a partisan hack like Solomon. That's the difference.

Olbermann is a supporter of Hizballah. That's a fact!

It is not sheer conjecture that people came along in your name, "republican" and lied again and again about WMD's, Iraqi threats to our country and ties to Bin Laden. "We don't torture". Yes we do. Republicans shouldn't take it personaly, although I know that I myself make sweeping statements sometimes, that they supported a bunch of shady fellows. It is a fact that they are. Bush, Cheney, Rumsfield, all of them are either incompetent or just plain rotten. What did Bush do in his life before becoming govenor that would make him a great war time leader? He has said himself that he is a media creation. Son of someone. Just being resolute does not make you right. At least he is doing something is no strategy that can be justified by assuming that someone else would do nothing. Move past this guy and his failed plans already.

Codas,

Saddam lied about WMD's. It's all his fault. Stop blaming Bush.

Bush believed a liar, did he not? When you ask for the job of being the leader of the free world, you should have the brains and the wisdom to at least know what the hell the "other guys" reasoning might be.

Codas,

You always take a totalitarian dictator's word when he says he is up to something bad. When he says he is being good you never believe him. It's called common sense.

Red Wolf says, "Olbermann is a supporter of Hizballah. That's a fact!"

You are despicable. You ought be banned. You aren't really Ann Coulter are you? OMG, you are aren't you! Take your adams apple and leave. Your presence here is an enormous strain upon the educated intellectuals of the world.

Very sincerely,
Josh

Posted by: Rico at November 17, 2006 12:25 AM

I wish That Bush's people would have had enough common sense to know that just taking Sadam out was not going to bring democracy. As much as I would like to say I am sure that Iraq was a mistake, I am glad Sadams sons never got there shot at leadership. Why couldn't Bush have just come out and said, I think we need to do this. We need to be a presence in the middle east. Here is why I think that... But like ALL politicians, he assumed that people like me need to be decieved in order to have their support. Just like Clinton should have said, I fucked up, please forgive me from day one, Politicians fear truth more than anything. Bush is no different than the rest.

Codas,

I agree that taking out Sadam was not going to automatically cause democracy to flower in Iraq. And I agree that Bush has made many mistakes there. But we are fighting them in their backyard and that is where I want the fight to take place.

As far as deception is concerned, I never take seriously what any politician says. I watch what they do. When Clinton would bite his lower lip I would have to turn him off. I never listen to Bush either. It would be torture.

Rico,

The totalitarian point of view doesn't matter. What matters is what happened. And, what happened is, Bush, or his cronies, cherry picked information from documents with the aim of supporting the view that Saddam had WMDs. That is to say he or his immediate advisors purposefully chose selective information from mounds of evidence supporting opposing viewpoints in order to convince the American citizenry that Saddam either represented a great threat to America via a secretive Nuclear program or that he already possessed the capability of launching a nuclear attack. He then used this extremely selective information coupled with a vague representation of ties to Al Qaida to justify a war with Iraq.

It is simply irresponsible to give the Bush Whitehouse a free pass, regardless of a totalitarians point of view.

Sincerely,
Josh

As far as deception is concerned, I never take seriously what any politician says. I watch what they do.

Then we have found some common ground. Why are they so dishonest? Who wouldn't respect a man for saying sometimes, "you know, I might have been wrong about that" or here's one, "I don't know the answer to that". Is it them, or is it the public that demands some kind of super moral being that makes them lie because they are not.

Codas,

I just think that all politicians, both left and right, speak using talking points and fit what they are saying to be aligned with "the program" of their respective side of the political equation. They are all being carefull.

I don't pretend that I know what really goes on in the mind of George W. Bush or Bill Clinton. In fact, I don't think I want to know.

I agree.

That's great that Keith quit smoking after Peter Jenning's death. However, I think Mr. Fatass had better grab himself a stairclimber every once in a while if he's so concerned about his health.

When you see him outide of his "Countdown" head & shoulders camera angle, he's a friggin slob!!

My fellow citizens,
I challenge all of us to listen to what former Reagan and Bush administration officials, former military brass and fighter pilots, former CIA officials, along with numerous scientists and scholars, are saying about the 9/11 attacks. There are questions about that day that need to be addressed, and these people I mention are asking them. Some members of the 9/11 Commission believe that NORAD personnel lied to them. Why would NORAD lie? What are they hiding? Also, there was a spike in put options on American and United Airlines on September 7th, suggesting whomever took them out had some kind of prior knowledge of the attacks. Why hasn't the identity of these stock traders been revealed? Perhaps they were helping to fund Al Qaeda, who knows? Why didn't the administration readily admit from the outset that Dick Cheney was at the White House simulating wargames that morning? Why did they lie to us that night and say they'd had no warnings of such an attack? Why did Bush stay at Booker Elementary School for nearly an hour, thereby putting himself and those children in danger? There are many other pertinent questions that have simply been ignored. Just basic questions. Let's answer them rather than mock people who have experience and expertise in these matters.
It is childish to insist that members of the Reagan and Bush administration, CIA agents, military brass, the victim's families, Michael Meacher, Daniel Ellsberg, Andreas Von Bulow, Gore Vidal, Paul Craig Roberts, Bob Bowman and countless others are all part of some vast tin foil hat crowd. Respectfully, I ask each of you to watch Terrorstorm on Google Video, a documentary created by right-wing Christian journalist Alex Jones. Watch 9/11 Press For Truth, watch 9/11 Mysteries, Part One, watch Loose Change. What can it hurt to hear alternate points of view? Again, the sentiments I express are shared by former Reagan and Bush administration officials, former military brass, former fighter pilots, former CIA officials, former Pentagon officials. Again, this includes Daniel Ellsberg, who, as we know, told the truth about Vietnam.
Let's work together to determine the facts. And if the 9/11 truth movement is so ridiculous, then it should take no time at all to clear the matter up. But remember it is Lee Hamilton and Thomas Keane who contend that representatives from NORAD were hiding something when they testified. Are Hamilton and Keane tin foil hat people, too? Is the 9/11 commission now part of this tin foil hat conspiracy? Are all these former miltary and CIA, former Reagan and Bush officials just trying to make George W Bush look bad? That doesn't make sense. Why would they do that? They would have nothing to gain and everything to lose by taking such a stand. Ignoring these issues just adds fuel to speculation of American involvment.
There are those who seem to be afraid to have an adult conversation about this. They protest too much, which suggests they realize something is wrong and don't want to face it. Most are skeptical until they look at the many documentaries and study the facts. Plainly stated, there is something wrong with the official account of 9/11, and polls consistently show that 80% of Americans agree. It's time for a real, courageous, honest investigation into the events of that awful day. Our future well being depends on it. Peace and long life.

TT: So right on. They act as if a person asks questions about that horrible day, that they are tin foil hat conspiricy theory nuts.

The liberals took back both houses but Olby is still pulling up the rear most nights. They talk baout gains. Crap when you hae one fan and you have two the next night that is a 100% ratings increase. Obly is small change. The day is near when he and MSNBC fall.

25-54 demo Total viewers
O'Reilly 470,000 518,000 -9% 2,081,000 2,678,000 -22%

Zahn 217,000 233,000 -7% 639,000 824,000 -22%

Olbermann 233,000 145,000 +61% 637,000 381,000 +67%

Nate, that is the biggest boat load of bull shit. All those "officials" quoted and yet none identified. To even think the White House had anything to do with it is insane and just shows how stupid liberals are. We hear all these leaks about NSA but none about the WH. Hum.

That crap rates right up with the Duke rape case. A family spokeperson for the accuser when asked about the ATM video evidence of one of the players that night said, "Well, that was fixed". Give me a break.

You bunch of loons do us a favor, hang yourselves so we can increase the IQ level to the rest of the gene pool.

Losers.

olby in "GQ" magazine?? what does GQ stand for? Giant Queer?
olbermann is such a GQ and all the good little liberal sheep spend their time here defending him.
If you believe in karma then you know olbermann's lunacy, hypocrisy and jusp plain vehemence and nastiness will come back to bite him on the ass.

Not to change the subject.....

HERE WE GO!!!!!

H.RES.635
Title: Creating a select committee to investigate the Administration's intent to go to war before congressional authorization, manipulation of pre-war intelligence, encouraging and countenancing torture, retaliating against critics, and to make recommendations regarding grounds for possible impeachment.

###
U.S. Rep. Maurice Hinchey still stands behind a bill calling for an investigation of the Bush administration that could lead to possible impeachment....The bill that Hinchey supports, which is sitting in the House Judiciary Committee, seeks to create a select committee to investigate "the administration's intent to go to war before congressional authorization, manipulation of prewar intelligence, encouraging and countenancing torture, retaliating against critics, and to make recommendations regarding grounds for possible impeachment."

The bill was written by Judiciary Committee member John Conyers Jr., D-Mich. Hinchey said the current Judiciary Committee does not intend to act on the bill, but he expects the Judiciary and Government Reform committees to begin an investigation once the Democrats take over in January.

"I'm not on the Judiciary Committee, but I will do everything I can to ensure that the investigation goes forward and the true facts are revealed to the country," Hinchey said.

Wonderful. This is going to be so much fun! (sarcasm) Olbermann will have so much to talk about.

Shuster is upside down. oops...your right, it looks correct.

BTW, glad to see that now that the elections are over, the republicans have decided to return to their comfortable position of being led by the racist segregatitionist that is Trent Lott.

Could the administrators of this site please seek to ban codas and rico? I am physically sickened that they, from opposing sides, could engage in rational discourse and come to some common ground agreements on various items. If this kind of thing were to continue, who knows where it could lead...friendships between parties? co-development of ideas/laws? lack of media bias? unemployment of talking head pundits? The thought of these kinds of things just gives me the wiliies!

Um, can we really talk about the most important part of tonight's recap.

The un-needed link between HuffPo and my personal hero, Billy Mays.

Whether he's shouting about OXYCLEAN or ORANGE GLOW or THAT MAGIC BALL THING THAT CLEANS YOUR CLOTHES WITH THE POWER OF OXYGEN... or even that RAZOR THING that he uses to shave half his face with... Billy Mays' is excellent.

And I think we can all agree, that an hour a Billy, would leave you feeling smarter and more informed about the world, than an hour of Olby...

...although, he does have a unique Orange Glow himself...

Connor, it's called being a moderate. That is what I condider myself. When all the dust settles most of the country is moderate I think. The two extremes get everybody else involved using certain divding issues likes abortion, gay marriage, Bush is Hitler etc... Rico has the good sense to know what most of us know. Most politicians never did anything great in their life other than learn how to bullshit people into thinking that they know what the hell ther are talking about. Washington did something. Eisonhower led an army. Kennedy, even Bush the first fought in a war. There are others but with rare exceotion politicians are more suited to selling used cars.

Just checking...it seemed from your post that I had upset you, when I was merely going for a chuckle

I should add that all though I consider myself moderate, that's a left leaning moderate lest there be any doubt. Now it's off again into the wonderful world of the underpaid, under appreciated, and under educated bunch of sore feet, sore back and no benefits servants to be a part of the booming economy that has me making less money than I did in the 90's.

"After another fine, fine edition of oddball, we got Olby's report on the UCLA tasering incident, immediately suspect because, while there are two versions of what happened, Mr Fairness gave the version told by the student as fact,"

Don't forget the version backed up by the 30 or so witnesses to the event. not that you care.

I thought that putz getting the taser was hilarious. You know he was just some dumb liberal who wanted to act like an ass by giving the "fascist" police a hard time. I'd like to see Fatass-Keith get the same treatment.

Again, for those who thought I was making it up, here is a link to information about the mock ritual human sacrifice before a 45 foot concrete owl named Moloch, an ancient babylonian god, held every year at bohemian grove--retreat for the wealthy elite, including most high ranking Republican political officials. Have a look. But you may not like what you find.

http://www.prisonplanet.com/archive_bohemian_grove.html

As I've pointed out, there's not much you can say to defend the White House, but it's still good that you are all keeping Olbermann's feet to the fire. Not only is such watchdog work necessary for democracy to work, it will strengthen Olbermann as a journalist. Earlier, I brought up Bohemian Grove and the mock human sacrifice. I was accused of making it up. For those who think it IS important what a cable news guy says but NOT mportant that the leadership of the Republican party--the Bushes, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Weinberger, Kissinger, etc--participate each summer in the re-enactment of a ritual human sacrifice before a 45 foot concrete owl named Moloch, I'm again posting this link to articles about the Grove and photos from inside the Grove. Take a look. And let's start telling the truth about who these men realy are. Peace.
