Did Keith finally pick on the wrong guy? Or is there some history between these two?

It seems that anywhere Keith wants to take this, Levin is willing to go there.

This is not shaping up as just a little tit for tat spat. You might have to put up a 'Tale of the Tape'(Boxing term for you non-sports) soon !

Does anyone know who Mark Levin is ?

"Who's the biggest pervert in the world?"

"A: Keith Olbermann"

"B: Keith Olbermann"

"C: Keith Olbermann"

Pretty immature. Kind of like nominating Rush Limbaugh for the Noble Peace Prize in the first place!

I see Levin left of Mark Foley and Ted Haggard off as options.

"Does anyone know who Mark Levin is ?"

He's the biggest pervert in the world!

I do not think that Keith Olbermann took off because Mark Levin's comments. Mark Levin did not say that much bad stuff about him. A lot of immature things ... but nothing particularly upsetting.

Mister Edward R. Murrow of hack
Disappoints cuz he's hung like a tack
The man who appalls
Possesses no balls
And that's why he won't go to Iraq

Oh, my goodness, Johnny, that's some picture!

Olbermann is ever more eerily Moai-like.

Spooky!

Katy Turic- would it be possible for you to try something other than the A-A-B-B-A rhyme scheme? Give it a shot. K?

Ummm, then it wouldn't be a limerick anymore... which is the entire pointless point. Got it? See Olby Limericks - Complete Collection.

Thanks for the explanation. Now it has become apparent to me why you're quickly becoming this generation's Sylvia Plath.

No, indierik, it's the REAL katy turic who will someday stick her head in an oven...

Thanks for explaining further, Cecelia.

Katy, one more thing- didn't you already use the "hung like a tack" line in an earlier post? Maybe it's time for you to get a thesaurus?

Indi,

You compared Katy Turic to Sylvia Plath, who is a liberal icon. Does that mean you were giving Katy a compliment?

This is getting embarassing. M. Levin is such an a--hole, his humor so hilarious. What is the matter with you people? Don't you realize you've been sold a load of crap? Mark and his buddy Sean can't even spell the word TRUTH

Thanks for explaining further, Cecelia.

In katy's defense "hung like a nail, staple, brad, or rivet" doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

No, Rico, I was being a snarky dickhead.

No problem we like that in a person.

What a punk that Olbermann is. Levin pokes a little fun at him and he hides under his desk.He can sure dish it out but when someone gives it back he doesn't show up on his own show.PUNK.

Is this Mark Levin GAY? He sure is interested in Keith's penis and were he puts it. A real sicko!

ADVENTUROUS SF WANTED. SBM, 34, tall, damn good looking, ISO snarky woman to exchange jabs with. Likes fast motorcycles and long walks on the beach (nice cliché, huh). Call 800-indierik

Going by his attack O'Reilly/attack all of Fox News attitude with feud No. 1, when Keith finally makes it back to the Seacacus set I would assume to be consistant, he'll be going after the Disney people, since Levin's they're employee through his ABC Radio syndication deal (of course, Keith's also a Disney employee, though his ESPN Radio deal with the Dan Patrick show, so there's a chance he might be a tad more reluctant to take on the whole corporation, if he does actually decide to fire back at Levin).

Olbermann offered Andrea Mackris 100k, on air, to give him tapes of her alledged phone calls with O'Reilly.

Levin hasn't offered Karma bites or other women who have encountered K.O., any money, but he seems to be intent on having some fun with their reviews of Keith.

as usual O'leilly shows his liberal stupidity with his retarded second grade comments. nice of you to step of the short bus O'leilly to once again prove that you are the moron we have all come to expect. now shut up and go back to your closet leftard.

Typical distraction from life and death matters. Chase a guy's penis around town. They did this with Clinton, they demonize gays and lesbians, so yes Olbermann and everyone else outraged by the holier than thou rightwing nut jobs should expose two faced blow hards like O'lielly!

Olbermann should have offered 200 grand and played the tapes everyday until the delusional fools who play pretend games of ethics give up on these fake witch hunts and pay closer attention to the real issues that matter to all of us!

leftard? I wonder what regular posted this comment?

"Katy, one more thing- didn't you already use the "hung like a tack" line in an earlier post? Maybe it's time for you to get a thesaurus?"

"Hung like a tack" just seemed appropriate for a pencil-dick "hack" that won't go to "Iraq". My thesaurus also suggested hairy "ballsack" or smelly "buttcrack".

Good news. I think Levin might be the type to make it happen for ya...

Poor little Keith couldn't make it out of bed today. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!:) I wonder if his ratings tonight will beat he ratings tomorrow when he shows up to work.
Great Factor tonight as always. Bill put his foot up AljazeraNBC's ass. He called them out on hiring a radical left wing hate monger as a “Military Analyst". This jerk William Arkin wrote a smoking pile of crap in the Washington Post that called the troops mercenaries. He said they are too pampered. This guy is a true left wing a--hole and it is great to see Bill go after this loser. Anyone who considers NBC a news organization, is delusional.

The Factor is one sick f--- !
I thought degenerates like this went out with Spiro Agnew.
Wow !

There are no great Factor's. Only spin and the illusion of Billo getting the bad guys.
What, no pedaphiles to hunt down tonight?

If you can't see thru Billo's song and dance, I feel sorry for you.

"...it is great to see Bill go after this loser. Anyone who considers NBC a news organization, is delusional.

Delusional? Last time I checked Bill O'reilly was the laughing stock of every late night comedian not to mention the hugely successful Steven Colbert show entirely based on mimicking the absurdity of O'lielly's style.

The Republican party was booted out of congress, Bush has the lowest rating's of any president in modern times and Fox News is known by everyone who doesn't have their head up their ass as the mouth piece of every multinational corporation who goes around this planet plundering the national resources of foreign lands to keep our SUV's gassed up and our obese children fat and stupid.

It was not Bill O'reilly that was invited to the 2006 White House Correspondents Dinner, it was the man who nightly makes a fool of Bill O'reilly!

Let me know the next time the right produces a genius like Colbert.

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-869183917758574879

Let's put down KO b/c he's sick.None of you brave right wingers have ever gotten sick.

Idiots !

Colbert killed at the correspondents dinner last year.
Bush and the wingnuts didn't know what hit them.

STFU O'leilly!

The wingnuts took a terrible beating last year- the election, Colbert, as you mentioned, and Clinton backhanding Chris Wallace from one side of the studio to the other.

You ever notice how many of these comments from names like The Factor make comments to whip up come backs on this page.

I feel confident many of this rediculously stupid comments like Factor wrote above are meant to keep this page lively.

If these were really people they would as Cecilia would say, "get an arguemnt".

Their is a lot of quantity posting going on here on the right by the same person or persons.

Let's chronicle the unflattering articles on Olby as well as the responses from our grand hero:

NY Daily News: "Principles Keith can swear by"
Keith's resonse: None

NY Daily News: "It's 'Putdown with Keith Olbermann"
Keith's resonse: None

NY Post: "Keith gets low ratings in bed"
Keith's resonse: None

Jossip.com: "Keith Olbermann Prefers You Don't Read the Comments in KarmaBites' Blog"
Keith's response: None

And of course the blog "forthisreliefmuchthanks.com," which Keith did not respond to.

Now Levin rehashes all this in a hugely public attack, he makes sure Keith hears it, and now Olby is mysteriously absent from the studio?

Hmmmmmm . . . why is Olby so quiet on these matters yet so vocal in his attacks on so many people from the Meltdown pulpit? Could all the dirty stories be true? Could Krazy Keith be staring at his navel crying as I type this?

Their is a lot of quantity posting going on here on the right by the same person or persons.

Sorta makes you think...ehhhh....what did you say your name is?...

Indi,

If Clinton backhanded Chris Wallace then Lynn Cheney bitch slapped little Wolfie Blitzer.

Since Levin is hung up on Keith's penis size, it must be fair game to guess at his. Maybe 3?

To the coward at 10:27 pm
I though cowards like you were all hiding out in France, but any time there is a chance to take the United States down the path of socialism, you pop up like roaches. Answer me this question; do you actually think anyone with half a brain is going to vote for Hillary Clinton? You can't be that dumb? I doesn't matter who the Republicans put up, they are going to win in a landslide. The only people who are going to vote for Hillary are the Socialist and the incredibly stupid. Get ready for another 8 years of the Republican Party
party.

Exactly and what did the Fox News do the following week? Tried to tell their audience he bombed. Yea right, they wish.

The most arrogant thing Billo ever did was think he could match wits with Colbert and do a swap on each other's show. Again Colbert kicked royal ass.

O'lielly could debate a real person like John Stewart or Steven Colbert. Billo is nothing more than sensationalist who constantly plays the hero figure. And the fools who look up him are of course the sorry saps who need a hero.

Well after last November you would think these pathetic saps would learn and look else where for hero's.

My life is pure pleasure as long as I can watch an hour a night of Stewart/Colbert

You should have asked, "which navel?"

"I doesn't matter who the Republicans put up, they are going to win in a landslide..."

yep just like you said they would last Nov 7th, you're joke man.

Hillary has already won with people like you as representative of Republicans.

Please, you are a pathetic loser. Socialism? You equate anyone wants American tax dollars to go American people instead of multinational corporations as socialists.

You are obviously a student of right-wing radio and Rush Limbaugh.

Intellectual discourse of OW right-wingers

Rico, I agree with you. Blitzer (dumbass) needs to stay away from the Cheney family. They humiliate him for sport.

The Factor- You're a little bit on the "dim" side I see. Do you have to unzip your fly to count to eleven? For the record- Hillary sucks. She's very smart, but I find it unlikely that she'll be the Democratic nominee in 08. Whoever wins the presidential will be against this STUPID WAR IN IRAQ.

Now you cowards are trying to say Colbert and Stewart are news since your hero Keith is now know as the one inch killer. The Factor beats both Colbert and Stewarts show in ratings. You dumb asses think it is some great accomplishment that Colbert made fun of Bush at the White House correspondents’ dinner. News flash dumb asses, Colbert was brought there to make fun of the president, by the president. It's funny that the only traction you asseholes get is with comedy. Everything liberals say is a joke. Stick you finger in the wind politics at its finest.

Well, his navel would be the one he found attractive.

Well, it ain't 100K falafels but our discourse hasn't yet risen to the expense account of an MSNBC NEWS show.

Hillary will win, she has already been chosen by the same power structure who chose Bush.

We have no democracy anymore.

Hillary will win and fund the war until Iraqi oil is pumping enough to break OPEC and bring down the price oil enough to get a return on the trillion dollars we will have spent by then.

This war is beyond walking away from, Bush has bet our future on it. The mess we are in is a do or die situation. Why else would most of the true conservative (not the Fox News faking droids) hate Bush right now?

Hillary will win in the same manner won twice - a fixed election. The matter has already been decided!

"The Factor beats both Colbert and Stewarts show in ratings."

Britney Spears has sold more albums than Marvin Gaye, so if I use your logic this should mean she's produced a higher quality product.

Nothing says Olbermann is a tough nut to crack better than his detractors resorting to penis size as a way to bring him down.

Only the pathetic jump on such a band wagon. You have lowered yourself tonight. (pardon the subject relative pun)

Very funny! These losers love white trash like Spears and probably think she is a good Christian who is better than Marvin Gay!

Good analogy, total idiots think ratings mean squat when most of the people watching Fox are uneducated hicks or fake Christians who were born to have others tell them how to think.

f---ing idiots!

Factor: "since your hero is now know as the one inch killer".

Are you are referring to Keith Olbermann's DICK SIZE? If so, what are you, some kind of sleaze? And you think THAT might have something to do with the question of Keith's integrity?

If you think THAT is important, then your brain size is clearly far more pathetic than Olbermann's dick size!

"Colbert was brought there to make fun of the president, by the president."

Then I guess Iraq invited us to come and destroy their country too.

( PS, Bush was rather pissed at Colbert, at least the 30% of the jokes he got )

Getting back to the Factor's absurd earlier claim.
2300 scientists from 130 countries came to the total opposite conclusion as the Factor on global warming.
Let that sink in a minute.
And then let's all have a giant group laugh at the Factor !

indierik, that is the dumbest statement I have ever heard. Did you pay an imbecile to write that? You are comparing Marvin Gaye to Stewart and Colbert? How dumb are you? People watch The Factor because it provides a conservative view point that people are starved for. Colbert and Stewart pump out the same left wing propaganda that Letterman, Leno, and Mahar pump out. You fools are losing your media and you can't stand it.

Dick size is the going rate for the chicken shit guys who post all this shit under four or five fake names. It is all about them feeling humiliated by the scathing ass kicking from the left wingers who visit this page and has nothing to do with KO.

Let's face it. People like Mike, Indierik and myself have left these simpletons with nothing but dick size to go on.

A real pathetic group of humiliated desperado's!

Did you know that the Factor said he is a climate scientist in Canada?

And tomorrow he'll be a cowboy out on the range in Wyoming.

And who is more deserving of having the universe return to him the concern and interest he's so generously meted out, than our 100k falafel guy Keith.

Anyone who thinks Terry Schiavo was about to wake up and resume her life would also think a periodic cooling can counter green house gases that have been building up for more than 200 years and are very slow to leave our atmosphere.

I loved it too! I'll use it the next time I hear about how K.O. ratings are on the increase!

Karma is probably Ann Coulterite

Keith Olbermann's ratings are good, his schtick is working, and his profile is rising and rising. When he started he was a three-day substitute who parlayed lucky timing and a strong performance into a four-year contract. Now he's MSNBC's newest rising star. So he's probably earned an upgrade. But can he really go anywhere? It's a good guess that Fox isn't beating down that door (right, Irina Briganti?) and there's been no buzz about him going elsewhere (unlike, say, Anderson Cooper at 60 Minutes). The LAT article doesn't mention it but this summer's NYT profile by Bill Carter traces Olbermann's volatile work history, including sore spots recently at MSNBC (like calling co-worker Rita Cosby "dumber than a suitcase of rocks" and sending nasty emails to a fan). Then again, Olbermann was just named one of GQ's "Men of the Year" (which earned the magazine the opprobrium of a fuming O'Reilly as a result), and, well, there are those ratings (which have been eating into O'Reilly's, as Olbermann is only too happy to point out). So, the upshot for Olbermann and MSNBC seems to be, really, that they both need each other. That, of course, doesn't make for the most effective hardball negotiations — but recognized and appreciated by both sides, it can sure make for a fine feeling of family.

No, Karma is Cecelia, that explains the whole story.

Cecelia knows Karma said that Keith said he had a dead relative to see to...and Cecelia knows that a Keith spokesman later defended Keith by saying by saying he did indeed have a dead relative to attend to.

Go ahead and laugh your butt off, Levin. She's a valid eye-witness and witness to the suave and debonir Olbermann....

"Keith Olbermann's ratings are good, his schtick is working, and his profile is rising and rising..."

^^ Now we know why Keith wasn't at work today... he had to write posts in this comment section.

You'll be using it soon then. Olby's ratings continue to rise.

Like I said, typical rightwingers, always after the sex lives of other people because they have none of their own.

KO's interest in O'lielly's ordeal was totally legit after 8 years of chasing Bill Clinton about his sex life.

Can you guys get anymore pathetic?

Oh yea that would be Mark Foley and that super church guy who liked to do speed and muscle bound men at the same time.

You tell me the last time anyone on the left reduced themselves to judging people by their sexual behavior when it had nothing to do with a justified attack simply because the person being attacked was a hypocrite about this subject.

Mark Foley - champion of legislation to protect children on-line

Cheney - leader of the Christian right who relentlessly attack the gay and lesbian communities. His daughter "off limits".

Bill O'lielly, holier than tho number one rated spokesman for Fox the mouth piece of the Christian right agenda - hero to all Christians in the most holier than tho style is out writing cheap sex "novels" and sexually harassing his employees.

Comparing Keith Olbermann is not possible. MSNBC is not the unashamed mouth piece of the morally superior holier than children of God.

That is Fox territory and they and Billo justifiably deserve to be called on the carpet in the same way Cheney's two faced daughter does.

I don't recall Mary out on the front lines fighting for the right of gay couples to have or adopt children. Low life two faced hypcrites!

A bunch of two faced hypocrites and you Cecilia are the worst simply because you are smart enough to know better.

You have no standard other than point scoring?

Bush is polling lower than getting kicked in the balls.

Speaking of Mary Cheney:

"This is a baby. This is a blessing from God. It is not a political statement." Mary Cheney on the subject of her pregnancy, New York Times, February 2, 2007

Poor Mary. Poor, poor Mary. So deluded. So much in denial.

Mary Cheney, the expecting lesbian daughter of our sitting Vice-President, is about to have a blessed event.
She's right in that such an event is a blessing. She's crazy if she thinks politics won't affect the life of her child.

Mary's daughter is about to be born into a family that, from the point of view of the law, doesn't exist. She will be born in a state, Virginia, where the Constitution forbids legal recognition of her family. Why? Because of politics.

Luckily Dick's grandchild comes from a family that has enough money to afford lawyers who can draft agreements to circumvent some of the obstacles that Grandpa's party's politics have put in her family's way. But those fancy documents won't shield her from the other kids at school who will single her out because of who her parents are. I knew a student like this once, a daughter of a lesbian who came to me when I was teaching to start a club to do something about homophobia at our school because, as she put it, "I'm tired of hearing my family get put down around this school." She called it a Gay-Straight Alliance, and it was the first one in the country (there are now more than 3,000 registered with GLSEN). Little Cheney may not have access to such a club, however, because of politics, as the Virginia state legislature has already given preliminary approval to a bill aimed at strangling GSA's out of existence.

Maybe the Cheney's wealth will offer a measure of protection against politics here as well, by paying for tuition to a private school where these issues are dealt with more sensitively (Buy the t-shirt now: Little Cheney, Georgetown Day School, class of 2025!). But at some point the question of moral responsibility has to arise. The Biblical admonition "To whom much is given, much will be expected" suggests that we should expect more out of privileged LGBT people like Mary Cheney than they just buy themselves a measure of protection against the bigotry their less-fortunate peers have no choice but to endure. Not that wanting to protect your child is bad - it's good - but you should also want every other parent's child to have the same things as your child has. It's only fair. And Mary just doesn't seem to care.

This isn't a fight where neutrality is an option, Mary. As Nobel Prize winner Elie Wiesel has said, "Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented." Whether you like it or not, politics does play a role here. So get with the program.

I wish Mary's fantasy, that we could ignore politics, were true. But her baby will find out that her Mom is just deluded soon enough. Children of the "Greatest Generation" routinely asked their Dads "What did you do during the war?" As Antonin Scalia and Pat Buchanan are so fond of pointing out, we're in a cultural war right now over whether or not LGBT people are entitled to the same level of dignity and respect as other Americans. Some day little Cheney is going to ask, "What did you do during the war, Mom?" Mary (to date) has sat on the sidelines - helping the oppressor. Too bad some day little Cheney will realize her Mom could have been part of the solution, but instead obstinately stuck her head in the sand over and over and thus was just part of the problem. I hope little Cheney can some day forgive her.

dangerously close to Nixon's all-time low of 24 percent.

People say this a lot. If Nixon had Fox News his ratings would never have slipped this low. Their is no comparison.

Nixon was not anywhere near as hated as Bush. Bush is devil incarnate. All one need recognise is who brought him to power? The Christian right. The wolves in sheep clothes. The true evil of our culture is here as it is in the middle east:

Religious fundamentalist !

Just think Cecilia's, Factor, Benson and Cee's main man, Bush, has a lower rating than stepping in dog shit.

You hate christians more than the Islamist who would cut your head off and bomb you with nukes. You are truly deluted. Nothing would give liberals more pleasure than to see Muslims round up christians and take them away. What they don't realize is that the muslims will take them away also. You liberals can let the islamic monster run wild against the people you hate, but what happens when your monster turns on you?

Remember that 46 other countries in the world have clued in about climate change and are now taking measures to try to stem back the potential damage. Do American corporations take responsibility for their part in global warming? No, their answer to the greatest threat to mankind (and their ultimate bottom line, come to that) is to offer a bribe to scientists to buck the overwhelming avalanche of evidence and deny man's involvement in global warming.

Scientists and economists have been offered $10,000 each by a lobby group funded by one of the world's largest oil companies to undermine a major climate change report due to be published today.

Letters sent by the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), an ExxonMobil-funded thinktank with close links to the Bush administration, offered the payments for articles that emphasise the shortcomings of a report from the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

Travel expenses and additional payments were also offered.

The UN report was written by international experts and is widely regarded as the most comprehensive review yet of climate change science. It will underpin international negotiations on new emissions targets to succeed the Kyoto agreement, the first phase of which expires in 2012. World governments were given a draft last year and invited to comment.

The AEI has received more than $1.6m from ExxonMobil and more than 20 of its staff have worked as consultants to the Bush administration. Lee Raymond, a former head of ExxonMobil, is the vice-chairman of AEI's board of trustees.

I truly think we need to pushback against this, loudly. I do not fear Bush's fabled "Islamofascist terrorists" coming to get me, but I'm scared to death to think what is being done in the name of arrogance, hubris and short term profits. These are our true terrorists, the ones who will absolutely change our lives and our world and not for the better. They should be exposed as the evil incarnate that they are.

You tell me the last time anyone on the left reduced themselves to judging people by their sexual behavior when it had nothing to do with a justified attack simply because the person being attacked was a hypocrite about this subject.

Bill Clinton who gave an interview to Mike Wallace before he was elected in 1990, and said he knew he had caused pain to his wife, but had learned and would never do so again.

Bill Clinton, who along with Hillary, had countered talk of legislation that would limit discovery processes in sexual harrassment suits. That same discovery process came to bite him in the butt when Paula Jones' attorneys used it to "discover" he was looking for love in all the worng places with low low lowest girl on the totem pole, Monica lewinsky. Establishing a pattern of using underlyings for sex is ground zero in any sexual harrassment suit. (Lewinsky was later taken to an attorney by Clinton friend Vernon Jordan, in order to sign an affidavit that was a lie. Later, then Ambassador to the U.N. Bill Richards --yes him... come to her apartment to PERSONALLY offer her a job... and Clinton later had his personal secretary, Betty Currie come in on the weekend before her Monday testimony to the grand jury, in order to "refresh" her memory that he and Lewinsky were never alone".... ALL THIS happened AFTER the Supreme Court ruled that Paula Jones had the right to sue Bill Clinton.

Everytime I read a post by the Factor, I feel like I just stepped in dogshit.

I defy any rightwing head-up-their-ass to out with this commentary above.

Can't be done. The truth is the truth and the hypocrisy of Mary Cheney is directly in line with much of the right wing hypocrisy.

You guys are all such ass holes and beautiful commentaries like this one about Mary Cheney is a perfect example of how you lost the culture war before you created it.

Delusional hero's saving yourself from your selves. This culture war is no more real than the war on Christmas. It's like the firefighter who is an arsonists.

Great piece anon, it wakes me up once more to remind myself how much I hate right-wing zealots.

Thanks Steve (I know Colbert just had to write such perfection)

Hear, Hear !
No truer words were ever spoken !

"Comparing Keith Olbermann is not possible. MSNBC is not the unashamed mouth piece of the morally superior holier than children of God.?

Well, you're argument is lovely in the sense that it's utterly revealing of your reasoning abilites, but I don't know how many folks would buy into your notion that only Fox News staffers and Republicans are worthy of having their dirty laundry aired, especially when we're talking about a guy who offered to pay 100K to air someone else's.
