Keith's known as the failed sportscaster
Fired or quit, whatever is faster
Another failed stay
For Olby's resume
Because Countdown is a disaster

He mentioned Newsome's 20-something girlfriend in a disdainful manner. Has he forgotten he's got a 20-year old at home too? He must have, since he was sighted having lunch with a brunette in D.C. last week.

I'd add another stupid little comment about Keith's girlfriend, or his being a failed Sportscaster, his orange glow, or something equally inane, but doing so would mostly just expose what a pathetic existance I have myself.

"I'd add another stupid little comment about Keith's girlfriend, or his being a failed Sportscaster, his orange glow, or something equally inane, but doing so would mostly just expose what a pathetic existance I have myself. "

But it would also make you qualified to be the news anchor for Countdown. Because that's the show's M.O.

Congrats.

It did...

Johnny,

All day the ticker at the bottom of MSNBC stated that evidence showed Libby admitted there may have been a conversation with Cheney,... . Not that evidence alleges or suggests, but shows (like a phrase from the closing argument of the prosecution's case.)

I tried and tried to change the channel to get away from Keith, but every channel had Countdown on it. So I turned the TV off, but it wouldn't go off. I then yanked the plug out of the wall, but Keith's face still beamed out at me in my own living room, and from my own TV. Keith's face seem to smirk at me, as if he knew he had me! I then ran out of the house screaming, got in my car and went to McDonald's, but guess who was on the TV there as well? AAARRRGGGHHH!

O'Reilly?

"I tried and tried to change the channel to get away from Keith, but every channel had Countdown on it."

Fortunately, unlike your TV, if you go to your computer you can visit ANY site on the internet.

Or not.

Especially, not.

Lots of sites out there, perhaps you'll find one that completely satisfies your tastes.

Good luck.

So go ahead. Tell us why it is that Olbermann can make fun of someone's 20-year old girlfriend when he himself has one at home. Can you not see how hypocritical this man is in every single aspect of his life, both on-air and off? yet, you defend him. Typical.

But how can I possibly concentrate on my computer with Keith's orange face staring menacingly at me from my own hijacked TV set, saying Mister Bush over and over again?

My ever important comments about today's Countdown ( Keith Olbermann ):

[5] Oh come on, Keith!!! No 'get the heck out of there comment' ?!? Is today a bad day for you?!?

[4] Did Keith Olbermann equate a tornado to global warming? I have watched the whole entire Inconvieniant Truth movie and nowhere did Al Gore equate tornadoes with global warming.

[od] Keith Olbermann shown a cat getting abused?!?

[3] Dry programming.

[2] Regurgitated like a parental bird in spring.

[wp] I was kind of hoping for a Michael Savage mention (see link). I would have placed him at second place, not for cursing, but for all of the stuff that Savage would have put his aphiliates through. Bronze, if I was running Countdown would be Larry King --- for hosting a full hour of that inane programme American Idol. That show is ruining pop culture by putting nobodies in the public light. Also, why was Fitzgerald put in as the worst person in the world for CORRECTING a fatality-type list that had people that were not fatalities? Fitzgerald is doing his part --- Keith Olbermann does nothing.

[1] A month of nonsense. I did not know that these things were monthly. When I saw this today, I was like "Awww ... you mean Keith Olbermann's crew do not edit this stuff for the year en Oddball finale?!? ... I mean ... c'mon !!! I knew his crew was too lazy to keep their laughter down during Keith Olbermann's program, but they don't earn their keep for the end of the year speacial?!? A true pitty, MSNBC is.

Defend him? Heavens no! I'm just trying to get away from him in my own house! It's true, he has all the airwaves hijacked! I understand now.

Tonight Friday Night Mark Levin "the great one" tore obberbite to shreads. It wasn't a pretty sight but since Obberbite does it every night its good he got a taste of it itself. Obberbite attacked Levin because Levin nominated Rush for the Nobel peace prize.
Oh "The Great One" sunk even lower then Obberbite and gave him both barrels.

Pull the plug.

Which is what you should do now with this line of yours that, after two posts, is a little tiresome. Get some new material, please.

No?

Getanewjoke: Talking/typing to yourself, again ?!?

"get a new joke"..

Ah, you people are just no fun at all! Maybe thats why you hate Keith so much. OK, I'll admit it - O'Reilly really is a fun dude too, you just hafta understand his arrid sense of humor.

Well, You gotta admit I livened this board up a little. When I made my first comment at 9:43, it was only the third comment of the night. Since then, there have been eleven comments other than my own, in only 30 minutes!

"Ah, you people are just no fun at all! "

If you tell the same joke four times in a row, don't be surprised if people walk away after the fourth time.

Regardless of how terrific a sense of humor they have.

I have a great sense of humor. I laugh at some of Keith Olbermann's jokes.

MYTVONLYGETSMSNBC spewed: "I'd add another stupid little comment about Keith's girlfriend..."

Olby's girlfriend I can't ignore
The fact that she's a live-in whore
She lives with Dad-Keith
She spends time beneath
In sports terms I'd call her a "score"

Wow, does this man that Dan Patrick is moving in on Keith's girlfriend? That can't be good for thier sports show!

MYTV: Since you watch only MSNBC ... do you contribute entirely to the ratings of MSNBC?

"do you contribute entirely to the ratings of MSNBC?"

No, but I do entirely contribute to the ratings of MSNBC.

Anyone listen to Mark Levin? He ripped Keith Overbite but good. He rip private noodle for his soft problem with one of his former "fans" who blogged him then got disappointed by him. HA!! Lavin gave props to this blog as well.
A real treat tonight on Fox News. Newt is on the Factor, then a replay of Hannity's America. Got to see the clip of The Path to 911 again. How scary is it to actually know that Sandy Burgler giving orders when the CIA was trying to get rid of Osama? Burgler has a chance to save 3000 lives and what does he do? Hangs up the phone. He is a tipical liberal.

Its a real good thing that folks named Factor are busy watching Factor sos they can keep us all straight about those sneaky dems!

The Noble Peace Prize is overrated --- especially if Rush Limbaugh gets the award .

Factor,

Sandy Burglar lol. Some names are just fatalistic, I guess.

Subject: THE DENSEST ELEMENT

THE DENSEST ELEMENT

A major research institution has just announced the discovery of the
densest element yet known to science. The new element has been named
"Bushcronium." Bushcronium has one neutron, 12 assistant neutrons, 75
deputy neutrons and 224 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic
mass of 311. These particles are held together by dark forces called
morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles
called peons. The symbol for Bushcronium is "W." Bushcronium's mass
actually increases over time, as morons randomly interact with various
elements in the atmosphere and become assistant-deputy neutrons in a
Bushcronium molecule, forming isodopes. This characteristic of
moron-promotion leads some scientists to believe that Bushcronium is
formed whenever morons reach a certain quantity in concentration. This
hypothetical quantity is referred to as "Critical Morass." When
catalyzed with money, Bushcronium activates Foxnewsium, an element that
radiates orders of magnitude more energy, albeit as incoherent noise,
since it has 1/2 as many peons but twice as many morons.

Factor: You keep quoting Factor, and I'll start quoting Olbermann, and then we'll both look like idiots!

They should have named it after you, O' Lielly.

Now let's keep hearing from you Fox Groupies as the posts continue about the most criminal Republican administration in US history.

Why so corupt and criminal?

That would be easy. They were voted into office by Christians. You know the people, they are all about family values and good morals and of course they can't be wrong cuz Jesus is their man.

Jesus they own. They use him as they please. Sell him into politics? You bet. So did Jesus go along with this?

Let's take a look back. You know, before Nov 7th when all the Olby haters were so bold and confindent.

But they under estimated the one man, the voice of a generation, Keith Olbermann.

He lit a fire with his in your face oratories to "Mr Bush".

He inspired a nation, a generation, and they went to work to take back our democracy.

You Rock Keith!!!!

Is this guy really that dumb? Who exactly did Olbermann light a fire under? His tiny audience of 200,000 people? Ask anyone on the street who Keith Olbermann is. Here is your answer. “He’s the guy who was on Sports center, right?"

Who is that forgot tell Bush where this all began?

How old was Monica Lewinsky? 19? A teenager? Who could be so stupid? Did this age ever come up through out all the months of impeachment hunting? Who would believe this was a mistake?

No way. Hannity was lying through his teeth and doing deliberately to distract attention away from the sicko Republican party covering up Foley being a preditor on Capitol hill.

http://video.yahoo.com/video/play?vid=a8a4ed316b157946f626aae57e350637.924308

When Hannity has on Guest are they dumb asses? Do they pretend to be pro democrat? Let's see.

First Hannity says, "I don't want to bring Clinton into it."

What? You've got to be kidding. Of course he wants to bring Clinton into it. He has made his carear demonising the Clintons so the neocons could take power and then Iraq.

http://video.yahoo.com/video/play?vid=a8a4ed316b157946f626aae57e350637.895426

What a bunch of chickens.

Someone posts a bunch of clips about how rotten the Republicans are and all the olby haters lurk.

Too chicken to stick their frail necks on the chopping block. This page is that chopping block and all the chickens are hiding!

Keith: The greatest orator of our time; only oratates about howawful conservatives are . Give me a break !!!

Long Special Comment but by far the very best from the greatest hero of our times.

In it Keith summarises all the distortions and lies of the Gingrich-get-Clinton Congress. The nation was put on hold while the "Moral Majority" went after a sexual trist between two consenting adults. A 21 year old page and the President.

Since when is it against the law to get some head from a willing woman out to do just that?

The republican controlled congress of the Clinton era was fully able to demand full resources be invested into killing Bin Laden. But that was the last thing they wanted to do. No way did they want Bill Clinton to achieve anything in while in office. They were out to prime the political environment to move in the neocons so they could go after Iraq.

And that is exactly what they did.

Keith tell is like it is and the Republicans fall like a ton of bricks.

An American hero, Keith Olbermann!

Hey, if you people want a real journalist, I linked to one. All of you hypnotized Keith Olbermann drones do not realize how big a loser Keith Olbermann really is. Keith Olbermann does nothing for actual news anchoring . He's lame. Keith Olbermann sits there and yaps about thee most obvious storys going on over at MSNBC for less than an hour, seeing as how much of his show concludes with boring nonsense about some 1 torturing a kitty. If you really like Keith Olbermann ... I suggest getting a life. Sheeesh !!!

What I don't get is why comrade Olbermann and others say Iraq is in a civil war, yet at the same time argue that the US military should pull out immediately and the Iraqis would all hold hands and sing kumbaya as a result. Do they know what "civil war" means? Maybe the US Army really killed Hussein a few centuries back and that's why the Iraqis can't stop killing eachother? Can anyone explain this? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

"Keith Olbermann does nothing for actual news anchoring"

He is THE news anchor man of our times

I dissagree with you. You and I are different. I am for democracy. You detest it as weak. You don't want the people, the voters to have the final say in how this nation is ran. Because you live in the Fox News world of fear you insist that Big Brother run this world. Our founding fathers are turning in their grave.

You are a coward. I am not!

"Our founding fathers are turning in their grave."

They are all in the same grave? Thats weird dude.

** An American hero, Keith Olbermann! ** - American Hero

Yeah, right. Like Mata Hari, Tokyo Rose or Axis Sally.

Anyone who thinks he's so great, here's a link to an article by someone who, if 'Krazy Keith' were to read this, will probably get the "Worst Person in the World" award come Monday's edition:

http://www.townhall.com/Columnists/JeffEmanuel/2007/02/03/terrorism_deniers_like_holocaust_deniers,_only,_like,_way_cooler

As far as Emanuel is concerned (and rightly so), it is Olby himself who qualifies for Worst Person of the World - every day of the week. However, Olby at this point has to qualify for the dubious honorific of "Terrorism Denier." My favorite quote:
"Another vocal Denier is Keith Olbermann, former ESPN anchor and current host of MSNBC’s “Countdown.” When not making an inexplicable comparison between Donald Rumsfeld and Neville Chamberlain (while claiming to be the Winston Churchill or the Paul Revere of our generation) . . . "
More like Ward "9/11 Families Are Nazis" Churchill, if you ask me. I (or rather, Emanuel) go on:
" . . . Olbermann and his fellow liberal Terrorism Deniers, who often cite the words of “intelligence professionals” to back up their downplaying of the threats that face America, do an amazing job of cherry picking – and generalizing about – those statements that they want to hear.

After all, the statements like that of Mark Mershon, head of the FBI’s New York field office – that “it would make your hair stand up to be in the room to hear that presentation” from MI5 on the liquid-explosives case – just don’t fit the template.

And when the real enemy is the President, and the real goal is promoting dissent at all costs, without regard for the lives that stand to be lost, in part, due to their cavalier public attitudes toward genuine threats, the template matters more than anything – including, and especially, reality."

It'd be pointless to ask any of the Olbyloons what they'd think of that. You know what their answer will be.

And on another tangent, to the Fox News haters: I don't watch the channel, but it should be noted that since late 2005, Fox has gone somewhat soft in their coverage on the War on Terror, and especially the nature of the Islamist enemy. That's because in late 2005, Saudi Prince Alwaleed bought a 5.46% stake in Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation, parent of Fox News. You know who Alwaleed is - he's the slimeball who, at a ceremony after the 9/11 attacks, tried to bribe Mayor Giuliani, and tie his "contribution" to the adoption of a morally equivalent stance in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict - and Giuliani rightfully told Alwaleed to stuff it. Of course, none of that would matter to Olbermouth and his minions . . .

"yet at the same time argue that the US military should pull out immediately and the Iraqis would all hold hands and sing kumbaya as a result."

Kumbaya? Where have Iheard that before? Oh yea, Sean Hannity on Fox News.

Not only is the "kumbaya" from Sean so is the fabrication that liberals claim the strife Bush has created their will just go away.

Apperently you have not been watching the hearings or reading the papers. Our top general in charge of Iraq (you tell me his name) who is no out and able to speak freely, has explained it as civil war that no amount of "surge" will resolve the problem.

Why don't you tell us all the last time Bush asked for a summit between Iran, Syria and the new Iraqi goverment. Could it be this last week? Why wouldn't he publicly request this months or years ago? Could it be that is not the most profitable way for Haliburton?

Iran is able to defy our military by design. Mr "bring it on" Bush (actually Dickless Cheney) could give a shit about how many GI's die in Iraq or anywhere else on this planet.

None of the Democratic leadership has been advocating handing Iraq over to Iran. Now that Iran is powerful enough politically to take thanks to the failed policies of the Bush administration. All the Democratic leadership wants is an end to the Bush Cheney control of this war they have got us into.

Who got us into this war? Why don't you tell me Bill Clinton did. It fit right in with your Sean Hannity nonsense.

"And on another tangent, to the Fox News haters: I don't watch the channel, but it should be noted that since late 2005,"

I say you are lying about this. Any zealot like you who hates Keith can't get enough Fox. It makes you feel like your not alone in your idiodic understanding of what our nation was founded on.

You love big brother comfort, Olbermann loves democracy. You want Haliburton to suck the life blood from treasury, Olbermann wants that money to stay local - schools, health care, college tuition reduction (something you can't relate to I'm sure)

You are clearly a liar!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70wOzCkWN5g

American Hero Keith Olbermann.

Death to big brother. Long live democracy!

Good Night losers!

Keith loves democracy,

you love big brother Haliburton and it's department of propaganda: Fox News.

Death to facsism! Long live democracy!

"You want Haliburton to suck the life blood from treasury, Olbermann wants that money to stay local - schools, health care, college tuition reduction (something you can't relate to I'm sure)"

I love how liberals claim to champion college tuition reduction when liberals control EVERY MAJOR UNIVERSITY IN THIS NATION!! With the possible exceptions of Notre Dame and BYU there is not one notable university in this country that is not totally run and dominated by leftists. Perhaps professors do not need to make 150k annually for working 10 hours a week and 5 months a year. Perhaps colleges do not have to raise tuition at 3 times the rate of inflation every year. Our institutions of higher learning are the biggest price gougers in this nation, but since they are a liberal institution, it goes unnoticed. I'll bet you the cost of college is the number one cause of debt and the number one financial worry in american families today, but since liberals control it, they will never investigate it. Instead you will hear 3 nightly stories on Exxon making 8 cents on the dollar. Hillary will call for their heads when it was her husband who allowed all the oil companies to merge. If liberals really cared about access to education and the average american family, they would get their own house in order and learn to live with a little less themselves.

Olbermann thinks he is the present day Edward R Murrow. HA! Murrow would kick Olbermann in his vagina. Murrow would put his cig out in Olby's eye socket. Murrow would fart downwind toward Olbermann would catch it in his mouth. Olby puts the 'anal' in analogy. Truman Capote looks macho in comparison to Olby. Margaret Cho wouldn't f--- Keef Olby. Key-ryst this guy is a loser.

I'm not saying Olbermann is gay, but he CAN change a 3 dollar bill.

Olbermann is the perfect example of " The Pussyfication of America".

Speaking of Hillary and the oil companies, how about Al Gore and his senator father's connections to Armand Hammer's Occidental Petroleum - and how, as Vice President under the Clintons, Gore presided over the no-bid sale of the naval oil reserves in Elk Hills to Occidental. Of course one would never have heard about that from Olby in his first tour of duty at Ms. Nibbik in the late 1990's . . .

just wanted to say hi to all seen some names from the past and took a mental walk down memory lane.

Mike and Benson, thanks for the inquiries. I hurt my shoulder and kept reinjuring it so the doctor immobilised my right arm. I can barely type with two hands, much less one.

Glad to have you back Grammie.

Now back to Olbermann. So he says that the tornadoes in Florida were due to global warming? Funny, the meterologists on the Weather Channel, CNN, and even Olby's own network, MSNBC all were saying yesterday it was a "classic El Nino" weather pattern that caused those tornadoes.

First Barbaro was an Arabian and now the tornadoes were caused by global warming? I'm beginning to think that instead of relabeling Olbermann's show as opinion, that MSNBC should call it their comedy hour.

Brandon,

I'd love to see the exact quote on the tornadoes...

Posted by: cheneyhasaweathermachine at February 3, 2007 11:13 AM

This is why the right wing is so discredited when it comes to global warming(and everything else)
Climate change doesn't only make the weather WARMER. It's the cause of hurricanes being stronger,droughts being worse, cold climates getting colder ( and sometimes warmer) and warm climates getting warmer.( and sometimes colder)
It throws the earth off balance with unexpected results.
Do yourself a favor.
Educate yourself.

CHENEY MAY BE ON THE WAY OUT !

Cheney has become such a liability that Bush would be crazy not to replace him. There's the Scooter Libby trial, which is close to metastacizing into a cancer that could send one of Cheney's closest advisers to jail, but also implicate Bush's so-called "brain," Karl Rove. And there's Cheney's Agnew-like behavior in dismissing critics of Bush's Iraq war strategy as "hogwash" and insisting that things are going so well in Iraq that we're on the verge of victory.

Cheney's upbeat attiutde toward Iraq is in sharp contrast to Bush's more realistic assessment of the problems that we face there, and it appears he is becoming more and more isolated in the Bush camp. He spoke to the Senate Republican caucus on Tuesday, which presented him with cake on his 66th birthday, but several senators I spoke to afterwards indicated that he heard some caustic criticism for his cheerleading of the war as well. A grim-faced Cheney swept past reporters without taking any questions, as usual.

It was reminiscent of the criticism that Vice President Hubert Humphrey heard from Democratic senators as the war in Vietnam lbecame increasingly unpopular with their constituents. Greg Mitchell, a columnist for Editor and Publisher, the trade magazine of the newspaper industry, said Cheney's recent combative interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer and his later interview with Newsweek stating that Bush's State of the Union address had shored up his public standing were "delusional," and reminded him of the equally delusional statements of "Baghdad Bob," Saddam Hussein's minister of information who insisted that American invaders were being repulsed by Saddam's Republican Guard, even while U.S. troops were overrunning Baghdad.

Cheney's scowling visage is becoming an embarrassment to Bush. I'm betting that he will ask Cheney to step aside before long for Arizona Sen. John McCain, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice or even Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney or former New York Mayor Rudy Giuilani, thus instantly boosting his dismal standings in the public approval polls and breathing new life into a presidency that now seems on life support.

"MISTER olbermann blamed the tornadoes in florida on global warming yet did not mention the record cold temeratures through out the midwest why is that. we all know that neither weather occurances have anything to do with man made global warming but MISTER olbermann couldn't resist. the only thing he failed to do was balme cheney and his damn weather machine."

That's why the term "Global Climate Change" was coined - because the actual warming trend underway is very complex and not a direct linear development - too much so for two-dimensional thinkers and hyper-literal idiots to grasp. Try to get past the idea that the anedotal events that get past your blinders are the only data that matter.

Mike, here is the address for the Arkin blog that you seem to doubt.

http://blog.washingtonpost.com/earlywarning/2007/01/the_troops_also_need_to_suppor.html#more

I think you may be surprised at the sentiments expressed.

Janet Hawkins
AKA Grammie

"because the actual warming trend underway is very complex and not a direct linear development "

But it is gross and overly simplistic - and perhaps worst of all unscientific - to claim that a specific weather event is caused by the warming of the planet.

To be sure, the evidence indicates that a overall planetary warming may lead to excessive amounts of "bad" weather - things like hurricanes or droughts. But no scientist worth his weight would claim that a specific tornado or hurricane was caused by planetary warming.

Global warming proponents need to be taken to task when they claim such nonsense.

By JOHN HEILPRIN, Associated Press Writer Fri Feb 2, 2:12 PM ET

WASHINGTON - Despite a strongly worded global warming report from the world's top climate scientists, the Bush administration expressed continued opposition Friday to mandatory reductions in heat-trapping "greenhouse" gases.

JUST ANOTHER OF THE MANY REASONS WHY THIS PRESIDENT IS AN EMBARRASSMENT TO OUR COUNTRY AND ONE OF THE WORST ALL TIME IN OUR NATION'S HISTORY.

More than a half-dozen bills have been introduced, mostly by Democrats, calling for some form of mandatory carbon controls in the United States. Democrats newly in control of Congress and other critics of Bush's environmental policies pounced on the long-awaited U.N. report like fresh meat.

"This puts the final nail in denial's coffin," said Sen. Joseph Lieberman , I-Conn., head of the Senate
Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.

Rep. Edward Markey D-Mass., a senior member of House panels on energy and natural resources, said he hoped it wouldn't take until
Groundhog Day two years from now, when a new president is in the White House, to alter course in the United States.

"It sounds like the Bush administration, having seen the very real shadow of scientific evidence of global warming, has chosen to go back into its hole of denial by saying that it will not support measures to reduce global warming and its disastrous affects on our economy and environment," Markey said.

Funny how even Lieberman is for reducing fossil fuels. He's Bush's man when it comes to the Iraq War though !

Riddle me this batman.
