Countdown with Keith Olbermann - March 22, 2007

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

Host: Keith Olbermann

Topics/Guests:

CONGRESS VS. WHITE HOUSE: Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont), chair of Senate Judiciary Committee
CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS: John Dean, fmr. Nixon White House counsel and author of "Conservatives Without Conscience"
ELIZABETH EDWARDS' CANCER HAS RETURNED: Chris Cillizza, washingtonpost.com

Olbermoronn was in hog heaven as he orated the opening spiel: subpoenas approved, GonzalesGate, clip of Leahy (D), clip of the AG, plugs for the disbarred lawyer and Leahy, Mrs Edwards's cancer, true crime, and the latest American Idol "scandal" [Ding!]. Man, talk about the devaluing of language. All this and, sadly, more on a Thursday Hour of Spin.

#5: A "scandal" [Ding!] evoking Watergate [Ding!], just like Nixon [Ding!]. It's a true Watergate [Ding!] comparison with felon Dean. But first, the AG is staying in his job "apparently for the sake of the children" (Blue Blog Source: Think Progress). Subpoenas authorized, but not yet issued. Specter (R) ridiculed. Clip of Specter vs Leahy. Clip of Tony Snow.

Then the Dem of the Day: Leaky Leahy, who got Great Thanksed before he said a single word. [Gaze upon The List again and be further amazed.] Edward R Olbermann honed in with scalpel-like questioning worthy of Perry Mason:

Are the gauntlets thrown down?
Do you have any expectation on Mr Sampson?
How can you hold that, the actual issuing, in the gun?
Perhaps that's why there is an oath.
Are there rabbits in hats that you have that we don't know about?
Is there evidence that suggests the administration may have been acting not just improperly, but in some cases illegally?

The answer to that last question was, based on Leaky's evasion, "no", but Olby let Leaky ramble on in lengthy narratives, with nary a follow-up or critical inquiry to be heard.

Then it was on to John Dean with "this White House in Crisis". Wait a minute. Stop the tivo! Where have we heard that before? Let's do an OlbyFlashback:

White House in crisis. The president says his government thwarted a terrorist plot against the tallest building in Los Angeles. (9 Feb 2006)
This week could bring indictments against senior members of his administration... is it, in fact, the White House in crisis?(24 Oct 2005)
A White House truly in crisis. (13 Mar 2007)
The White House in crisis. The president's crisis, what to do about the fresh hell of the Middle East. (17 July 2006)
The rundown for tonight's show was given a title by our producer that shook me. The title simply was, "White House in Crisis." (20 Oct 2005)

Like we said, devaluing the language. But we digress. Back to the latest meeting of Rev Olbermann's Criminal Rehabilitation Program, with convicted felon Dean there to compare GonzalesGate with Watergate [Ding!]. Or, as the graphic read, "worse than Watergate" [Ding!]. The US attorney "scandal" [Ding!] and its parallels to you-know-what. Nixon! [Ding!] Watergate! [Ding!] Felon Dean claimed only conversations with the President are protected by executive privilege (one of the dangers of getting your legal advice from a disbarred lawyer is that he might spew patent nonsense). The criminal speculated with a lot of weasel words, and eagerly bit when Fat Ass tossed him a softball about the power of the executive branch. The felon blamed everything on Nixon [Ding!](check!), Reagan (check!), Bush (check!), and Bush (check!). Hmm. Is there a pattern there? We report, you decide. The disbarred lawyer went on about the "tip of the iceberg", and his brilliant way with the English language so impressed Olbermoronn that he Great Thanksed him for his "insights". Gag.

#3: Mrs Edwards's cancer, at first handled with delicacy and solemnity. (We leave it to others to compare and contrast with Monkeymann's demeanor when reporting on the health of Dick Cheney.) But then Keith had to make it all about him, trumpeting how Mrs Edwards once confided to Olbermahn how happily she thought of her late son whenever she watched Keith on tv. "She wanted to thank me for that memory." Of course she did. Cillizza echoed Olby's claim that nobody in politics is held in as much regard as she is, and they batted around the implications. Great thanks.

#2: True crime (regurgitated NBC reportage), Bill Jefferson Clinton, Paul McCartney. #1: Even still more American Idol stuff, with Olby not even getting that right (confusing the "bottom three" with the "bottom two"). In the Media Matters Minute, "comedian Rush Limbaugh", plus another shot at Glenn Beck for referring to Rosie O'Donnell as a "fat witch" (Blue Blog Source: Media Matters). It's "weightphobia", according to Monkeymann. Glenn, Glenn. We told you. You have to use terms like slut, c-nt, whore, fat ass, fatso, psychotic, circular, and schmuck. Stick with name-calling that is Certified Olbermann Approved. You see, then it's not "weightphobia". Then it's "the future of television news".

Muted mongrels: Herr Olbermann loves to blow about government spending, bellowing about "your tax dollars at work" when it's something that might embarrass one of his enemies. Like the Republican Congress. Like the staff of the Republican Congress. Like Sen Stevens (R). Or the US Military. Or Tony Snow. Or Bush. And yet, "Man on Fan" Olbermann has said not one critical word about the outrageous pork doled out by Nancy Pelosi for everyone from peanut farmers to spinach producers as bribes to get them to back her latest Iraq war bill. Meanwhile, terrorists who killed US troops have been captured; apparently Olbermahn could care less.

~~Olbermann's book~~ The book that bears Olbermann's name is #9,016 at amazon.com, while "Culture Warrior" is #206. (It's that 2-for-$25 sale!) The OlbyTome is #3,154 at Barnes & Noble; O'Reilly's book is #1,009 there. Wednesday's Hour of Spin sunk like a cement block in quicksand. The infamous, deplorable one finished in a miserable fourth place, both in total viewers and in the critical, beloved, all-important, coveted "key demo". There is no joy on OlbyPlanet. Mighty Olby has struck out. The MisterMeter had the night off.

How classless of Olby to make a me-me moment out of Elizabeth Edwards' breast cancer struggle. This clown will find a way to make himself the story (and in the most glowing of terms) no matter how tasteless the end result is. Keith Anally is the most despicable person in the world.

Top 15 Ways to Spot the Olber-Obsessed:

(50% More facts than your average top-10 list!)
¬¬_______________________________________________________________________

1.) The Olber-Obsessed repeatedly use the term ‘OlbyLoon’ whether the poster says anything in support of Olbermann or not. This will also be proven by all the posts in response to this post.
_______________________________________________________________________
"You got to be kidding me. A bunch of necks sitting around their computers, high-fiving each other on a message board dedicated to a TV show by an ex-sportscaster?"
And an Olbyloon coming to his (her?) hero's defense! LOL!
Posted by: JohnE at March 19, 2007 11:43 PM
As for report comment function, that's Mr Cox's department. And I don't think he wants to do that anyhow. Since watching OlbyLoons in their natural habitat not only shows them up for what they are, but it's also great entertainment.
Posted by: johnny dollar at March 15, 2007 11:12 PM
Not an Olbermann fan huh? And how many other lies have you told today?
Posted by: Brandon at March 16, 2007 1:09 PM

_______________________________________________________________________

2.) The Olber-Obsessed let their paranoia show by claiming everyone is ‘Mikey.’
______________________________________________________________________
I only bring up mikey/woozy because he said the other day he wasn't going to post here anymore because he was tired of losing and 5 minutes later he was making posts, anonomously, of course. His posts aren't hard to see, like tonight. I brought up moab and he immediately posted, like before. He has no will power.
Posted by: jeff at March 18, 2007 12:56 AM
Factor, remember mikey,woogy,mutt,beverly,cecil?All the same olbyloon. He is now calling himself cw. A coward is right! Yes, I am jeff and I changed my name to royalking and I am man enough to admit it, unlike the coward little mikey. He reasorts to "anon", also.
Posted by: royalking at March 21, 2007 1:27 AM
little mikey refers to himself as "he", how psycho/olbyloonist is that?
Posted by: jeff at March 20, 2007 1:21 AM

_______________________________________________________________________

3.) The Olber-Obsessed accuse ‘OlbyLoons’ of ‘changing the subject’ when anyone, such as Bush or O’Reilly are mentioned. If Olbermann speaks out against the Bush Administration or Fox or O’Reilly, and an Olbermann fan comes on and attempts to explain why he does so, that isn’t even close to changing the subject. It’s just bringing up things the Olber-Obsessed don’t want to talk about, Olbermann’s views and support for them.
_______________________________________________________________________
I'm sure there is no one else around to offer up his unique refrain that essentially countered all comers with "I know you are but what is Bush".
Posted by: Cecelia at March 16, 2007 1:45 PM
I know this is a difficult concept to grasp, but I'll try to make it simple so everyone, even OlbyLoons, can get it.
This site is called Olbermann Watch.
This site is NOT called A Government Official Watch.
Clear now?
Posted by: johnny dollar at March 17, 2007 3:47 PM
No, they think the site is called Bushwatch or foxWatch or whatever, JD. They've never grasped the concept that this site is called Olbermannwatch. Remember the tiresome Mike and his insistence that any discussion of Olbermann was "off-topic"?
Posted by: Brandon at March 17, 2007 4:24 PM
Why post a list of O'Reilly's guests? I don't know, maybe because the name of this board isn't O"reilly watch?
Posted by: Brandon at March 15, 2007 10:54 PM

_______________________________________________________________________

4.) The Olber-Obsessed are deathly afraid of George Soros because he has as much money as Murdoch. BTW Murdoch actually owns a media conglomerate, Soros does not.
_______________________________________________________________________
Olberman has no talents he's a sock puppet for Clinton and soros!
Posted by: Rodan at March 15, 2007 5:01 PM
Hey Nate don't bitch you have Soreass controlling Ulbermahn.
Us patriotic Moderate-Liberals and Conservatives have Fox.
Don't bitch just because the Leftist-Islamic alliance doesn't control everything.
f--- Iran!
f--- Al-Qaeda!
f--- the Left!
Posted by: The Joker at March 17, 2007 3:12 AM
Soreass is a Stalinist, his goal is to establish a Stalinist state. Ulbermahn is his propaganda piece. He has losers like you to establish this Stalinist state.
You're a clown Coward watch. you're a senile bafoon.

5.) The Olber-Obsessed think everything should be exactly the way they want it to be.
_______________________________________________________________________
Bob and Johnny,
I really wish you two would rethink this new look for the site. It's awful. So user unfriendly. I just hate it.
Posted by: Cecelia at March 19, 2007 9:39 PM
Bob,
You need stricter rules for these morons AND a new layout.

6.) The Olber-Obsessed use words taught to them by their conservative heroes such as O’Reilly, Malkin, and Savage.
_______________________________________________________________________
The only way to debate the "unhinged" is to insult them.

"Liberalism, it is proven day in and day out right here on this site, it is a horrible mental disorder."
Yes Jeff....The liberal immedietely becomes emotional, demogogues the issue and looks for someone to blame......never SOLVING the problem.
Posted by: cee at February 21, 2007 2:09 PM
Decider, sadly mistaken, again, Hannity and Lizard face Colmes have never used the "liberalism is a mental disorder." That come from the great Micheal Savage and it couldn't be truer.

7.) The Olber-Obsessed make claims to have the ‘Higher Ground.’ Remember, Higher Ground is like Zen, if you have to claim it, you ain’t got it.
_______________________________________________________________________

Rico, come on. That last comment was beneath you and out of line. Remember, slicing with a scapel is more painful than bludgeoning with a broadaxe. It also gives you the high ground, which by right, is ours anyway.

8.) The Olber-Obsessed get VERY defensive when someone points out the unworthiness of this endeavor called Olbermann Watch.
_______________________________________________________________________
It's Mike who posts here all hours of the day and night. And it's you liberals who keep posting the same talking points (Bush Bad! Olbermann perfect!). I'd say that it's the libs here who don't have a life.
Posted by: Brandon at January 17, 2007 10:29 PM
How can these people not realize how idiotic it sounds to claim to care or know little about Olbermann yet find your way to this site in order to spend time chiding the regulars on wasting their time!
Posted by: Cecelia at March 20, 2007 12:32 AM

_______________________________________________________________________

9.) The Olber-Obsessed proudly display their ignorance by not bothering to learn to spell or write while posting in a public forum. Then, predictably, accuse the ‘OlbyLoons’ of focusing on such errors while ignoring the debate.
_______________________________________________________________________
Brandon, that is an olbyloon go to, when they get caught trying to debate an issue of which they no nothing about and they are called on it, they go after any spelling errors. That would be known as "blame, scapegoat and divert" tactics.
Posted by: jeff at March 13, 2007 12:51 PM
Can any olbyloon explain why when they loose a debate they go back and do grammar checks to find typo's? Does Ulbermahn tell you to do that in your dreams?
Posted by: jeff at March 15, 2007 12:37 PM

_______________________________________________________________________

10.) The Olber-Obsessed show their undying support for Fox News.
_______________________________________________________________________

Get over it Olby lovers. Fox News speaks truth to power. You are afraid to watch because if you do, it might educate your simple terrorist brain and you might enjoy living in your own country.

How bout that Great American Hannity, he had Dick Morris on tonight, always a wealth of info. How bout that Billary add? It's only gonna get worse for Billary.
Posted by: jeff at March 20, 2007 1:19 AM
This is not a "news" site. It is Olbermann Watch dedicated to Krazy Keith and the 60 Minute Cyclone/Hour O' Spin. If you want news, I highly recommend Fox News.com the #1 News Channel, Drudge Report and Micheal Savage.com.
Posted by: royalking at March 22, 2007 12:36 PM

_______________________________________________________________________

11.) The Olber-Obsessed ,when faced with the fact that Fox News is just as partisan as Olbermann, repeatedly claim that their only beef with Olbermann is that he doesn’t admit he’s Liberal and the MSNBC website calls him an ‘anchor’ while his show is mainly commentary. Like anyone watching Olbermann (left, right, or otherwise) wouldn’t be able to determine the nature of the content by simply watching it. C’mon, I thought right wingers were supposed to give the general public more credit than that!
_______________________________________________________________________

Eitherway, truth in advertising would be nice from MSNBC.
Posted by: cee at March 20, 2007 2:34 PM
If you're so outraged about truth-telling, why don't you ask your cult-leader Olbermann why he presents such an unbalanced "news" program and why there's never anyone who tells the ENTIRE story on his program? You're a hypocrite of the worst order.
Posted by: Brandon at March 17, 2007 4:34 PM

_______________________________________________________________________

12.) The Olber-Obsessed use racial slurs, homophobic comments, and insults liberals’ ‘manliness’. _______________________________________________________________________J

Wait till Scooter gets acquitted (funny!). Olby will be in the tub again. PussyKeith is his name...left wing propaganda is his game.
Posted by: Little Feechie at February 20, 2007 9:51 PM

What do you call someone such as yourself whining about other's opinions on a board they support. You don't see me going over to ALFRNAKEN.com do you.
You are a pussy-assed bitch.
Posted by: Brick at February 21, 2007 12:36 PM
_______________________________________________________________________

13.) The Olber-Obsessed proudly display their ‘Love / Hate’ relationship with Olbermann (According to Cecelia). If loving someone while simultaneously hating them isn’t the definition of ‘Obsessed’ I really don’t know what is.
_______________________________________________________________________
No one was watching him when we started writing about him [in Fall of 2004]. He had about 100,000-odd viewers. I thought Keith was the most interesting, controversial, dynamic person on TV. -Robert Cox (in the Greatest Article Ever Written)
Posted by: at March 15, 2007 1:00 PM
How profound, freud.... Olby Watchers and Olby fans flock here and not only find Olbermann interesting, controversial and dynamic,...misguided....askew.... but often find non-MSNBC staffer/political opponents the same.
Posted by: Cecelia at March 15, 2007 2:36 PM

Speaking of "over your head", love-hate relationships are utterly normal,…

Posted by: Cecelia at March 15, 2007 5:42 PM

_______________________________________________________________________

14.) The Olber-Obsessed , when faced with the obvious facts about the Bush administration, they repeatedly claim that ‘Bush doesn’t matter’ and ‘my world doesn’t revolve around Bush.’ Does Clinton matter more than Bush now that he’s been out of office for 7 years? Does your world revolve around Clinton? Apparently it does.
_______________________________________________________________________
Sorry, but Bush isn't focal point of everyone's life. Only Loons are obssesed with Bush. Most people don't care about him and go on with their lives, whethere they approve of him or not. I know people that voted against and don't support Bush and they tell me that you Bush obssesed loons are annoying. They agree with your criticism but not you focus. They have other things going on in their lives. Get a life!
Posted by: King Ghido at March 13, 2007 1:32 PM

_______________________________________________________________________

15.) And finally, the Olber-Obsessed (as if it wasn’t already apparent with items 1-14) are just not real bright folks, especially when they try to communicate with each other.

> Sorry johnny, I heard the clip on YOUR site, I assumed it was 'her' radio show.
Sorry jeff, there IS no clip on this site with Ann Coulter talking about Olby's glasses. I don't even think there's a clip here of Ann Coulter talking about anything.
Posted by: johnny dollar at March 16, 2007 12:39 AM
> Johnny, the clip has been removed, I went bact to find it. It was sometime last month. I only heard the clip once, I just remember her saying olby had the worst glasses in the world.
Jeff you are not telling the truth. There was never a clip on this site of Ann Coulter talking about Olby's "worst glasses in the world". And no such clip was ever removed. You are very wrong about this and you should apologize to Mr Cox, the webmaster of this site, the #1 Keith Olbermann blog in the world, for accusing him of removing a clip just because you can't accurately remember its contents.
Posted by: johnny dollar at March 16, 2007 1:15 AM
OK Jeff, I have to get some sleep so I'll stop playing around. The "glasses" clip can be found here:

Mikey has already called me a liar 20 times and is dancing all over his apartment like he does when olby is coming on. I was wrong about the woman's name and I am sorry for that, I will await your apology for saying it doesn't exhist. Thanks for finding it.

…And before you try to slam me for posting this compilation let me drop some knowledge on you: It didn’t take long. About 5 minutes to come up with the 15 observations and about 35 minutes to compile the data. 40 minutes is about the same time it takes the Olber-Obsessed to come up with a way to insult Olbermann’s make-up, glasses, or dick size. And I wasn’t cherry picking. I took examples from only a handful of days, just think what I could have done with 3-4 years worth of archives! And don’t accuse me of taking posts out of context. These posts would mean the exact same thing regardless of context and you know it!

Now, bear in mind, I’ve said nothing in this post in support of Olbermann. I’m not an Olbermann Fan. I don’t watch Olbermann. If you’ve seen one show, you’ve seen them all-which makes the daily recaps here seem even more pointless. I don’t watch a lot of political-based TV, but when I do, it’s usually a blend of Dobbs, Scarborough, Maher, and a little Jon Stewart or O’Reilly thrown in for comedy relief. But, predictably, the Olber-Obsessed will assume I am lying because the one underlying trait that all Olber-Obsessed possess is the undying belief that if you don’t speak out against Olbermann, then you must be an Olbyloon. Which is interesting, since 99.9 % of Americans don’t speak out against Olbermann, then the Olber-Obsessed are truly living on Olby Planet.

The real irony here that the Olber-Obsessed don’t seem to grasp is that in their bitter misplaced hatred of Olbermann, they have become him. The difference? He has a TV show and fans, all the Olber-Obsessed have is this website. The Olber-Obsessed worst fear is to be called out for being hypocritical by an impartial observer with no dog in the fight. Now, I admit, I do have a ‘dog’ in the fight. The dog that bites hypocrites on the Ass!

I don’t care if the Olber-Obsessed read or heed this post. Their pathology runs too deep. This is mainly for the unbiased free-thinkers who come here, if there are still any.

I can’t wait to see the Olber-Obsessed scramble to deflect the light of truth, like cockroaches under a beam from a flashlight. After all, they are obsessed, right? I’m sure the ‘monkey see’ ‘monkey do’ copycat posts will follow.

…And I’m not saying those who you refer to as ‘Olbyloons’ aren’t without their faults. I’ll just leave that to the Olber-Obsesssed to point out. I know you guys won’t disappoint me!

By Anonymous on March 22, 2007 9:11 PM

And, may I add, not only did he glom onto her terrible circumstance, he also abused the memory of her dead son in the process. You are truly vile, Olby.

By Robert Cox on March 22, 2007 9:12 PM

As some of you will have noticed, I've been messing around with the left rail of the site today. I was taught how to use php calls from Movable Type to add HTML elements to the site and I am setting about putting back in some of the elements that were taken out during the relaunch.

Something I did caused the individual archive pages (with the comments) to disappear. I fixed that but do not be shocked if you find something on the fritz over the next couple of days. That's just me breaking things as I learn how to use php calls.

If you see a problem and it lasts more than 10 minutes it could be that I am not aware of it so please do not hesitate to shoot me an email.

Thanks for your patience.

Bob

PS to Cecellia - I think we are kinda stuck with the font size for now but as I learn more stuff I will see about adding a button to offer the option of larger fonts. Please do not hold your breath on that one.

Dear Truth Syndicate,

Dang, why didn't you let me publish your comment as a guest post. Anyone who puts in that much work deserves a place on the main page. Email me if you are interested.

Speaking of which, I think I may need to add "truth-syndicates" "list" to my ongoing series on how to spot an Olbyloon.

Oh my...Olbermann ratings hit the basement once again!

Hey Dan Abrams, what do you get for 4 Million?
A shiny EMPTY silk suit ! Bwaaahaaaahaaa...

With all the Republican "scandals" one would think Olbermann's ratings would be at an all time high?

What do you get when you give a leftist, washed up sportscaster a news commentary show? Progressive Failure!

By Robert Cox on March 22, 2007 9:48 PM

I am done monkeying around with the site tonight.

I've got a new survey in the left rail along with a few other goodies that have been missing in action since last month. Enjoy!

Uhoh Keith, closing in on that magic 10,000th+ ranking on amazon.com.

Keithy needs to get some of his peeps to stop watching O'Reilly and Beck to see what they say and start watching KO's own show....4th? c'mon!

By The Factor on March 22, 2007 10:15 PM

WOW, 4th place, how pathetic. Olbermann was almost caught by that arch criminal on CNBC. There is another muted mongrel for you Johnny. Olbermann spikes the sorry about his financial buddy on CNBC's Mad Money being a con man.

By The Chemist on March 22, 2007 10:25 PM

Truth Syndicate,

Good list! You forgot #16: The Olbermann-Obsessed also moonlight with other "blogs" devoted to the greatness that is FOX news while never, ever mentioning it.

http://homepage.mac.com/mkoldys/iblog/

Also never mentioned: the astronomically larger amount of traffic that their Olbermann-Obsessed site generates over their sad, little FOX site.

By royalking on March 22, 2007 11:28 PM

Gee, I wonder who it was that wasted their whole day making one of the most idiotic posts ever on this blog? It wasn't coward watch. One hint, he is the biggest hypocrit, by far, that has ever posted on this blog. I could, easily, counter every single one of those comments with more rediculous "Olbyloon" comments,but, I have better things to do. This person calls himself an "stock analyist" and only posts here in between "transactions". I guess he had no transactions to do today because I gaurantee you that took him all day, just another one of his bare faced lies. I'll give him credit for one thing, it was slightly entertaining.

By codas on March 22, 2007 11:32 PM

Rico, come on. That last comment was beneath you and out of line. Remember, slicing with a scapel is more painful than bludgeoning with a broadaxe. It also gives you the high ground, which by right, is ours anyway.

Hey "The Truth Syndicate"... nice post.

Codas,
Where've you been, at your local mosque?

By royalking on March 23, 2007 12:18 AM

Did Ulbermahn mention Glenn Beck calling him "what's his name" and "Fat Head" today? Halarious, I say.

By Rodan on March 23, 2007 12:21 AM

royalking,
I'm glad that Beck is hitting back at Ulbermahn. He called Beck increasingly unhinged. I guess Ulbermahn is not used to being hit back.
I hope Beck continues the assault.

By royalking on March 23, 2007 12:23 AM

Did Ulbermahn mention that a liberal Feinstein actually had serious issues with one of the fired US attny's? Did he mention that one of them was fired because he refused to prosecute dope cases unless they had at least 500 lbs? That's right, 500 lbs!

By royalking on March 23, 2007 12:28 AM

Rodan, I told you earlier that olbyloon philby was going to slam you on your spelling and she did. She had nothing else. One of your posts had a bunch of mis-spelled words, she nailed you on that one, too, were they intentional? Were you messing with her? I told you that's what loons do when they have nothing else.

By royalking on March 23, 2007 12:37 AM

Factor, are you talking about that bald coke head that runs around like a raving lunatic frothing at the mouth like Chris Mathews?

Posted by: Rodan at March 23, 2007 12:08 AM "

Codas has been skulking around posting under various nom de plumes, all of them heinous.

The poor boy so wants to be accepted as a player. I sometimes almost feel sorry for him. But that fleeting emotion always wafts away when I recall that he posted that I, we, begged 'No, Daddy don't"

He is of no consequence and I think he knows it.

>Like we said, devaluing the language.

Seriously Bush Supporters, that includes you Johnny BUSHWIPE and sponsor, "devaluing the language"... ehr... spinning... blow_viating... as the Billdo sez.

You Bush Supporters might as well try a few of the Google hacks and design a banner for this site, including your's Johnny, announcing:

"WE SUCK! WE CAN'T EXCUSE MORON IN CHIEF!
BUT WE'LL DEFEND HIM AND FAUX NEWS BECAUSE WE HATE LBRULS!!"

BTW, "I'M A REAL REAGAN CONSERVATIVE"

Sure you are! Every shamed BUSHWIPE says so!!

By Mike on March 23, 2007 12:56 AM

WOW! I THOUGHT this RoyalKing character had finally decided to lose his MORONIC obsession with me, but apparently I was wrong! It appears he is NOW accusing of being "The Truth Syndicate" (second and third posts of the evening).

Sorry but I just can't take credit for those posts. I WISH that they HAD been my posts! ....they were EXCELLENT! I can assure you that IF they had been my posts, I would certainly have wanted to take credit for them myself. You see 'RoyalKing', I'm not even smart enough to come up with post's like that, but thanks for giving me credit for them anyway.

Your ongoing obsession with me has a psychiatric laymans' term known as "Bi-Polar disorder", or "Obsessive-Compulsive disorder". You really SHOULD get that checked...or it could be that you've just been kicked in the head one time to many by one of your horses.

Now lets review a few more 'errors' in your most recent drivel obsessing about me:
1) - While I certainly stated that I post "between transactions", I NEVER stated I was a "stock analyist". 'Royalking', I'm not smart enough to be a 'stock analyist' either, but once again....thanks for giving me credit I don't deserve, even if it is another one of your lies!
2) - You also just called me the "biggest 'hypocrit', by far, that has ever posted on this blog"...oh my...that's YOUR moronic opinion, but I believe I would rather be thought of as a 'hypocrit' than prove beyond a shadow of a doubt to be a MORON, like you do to yourself on this blog...day and night.
3) - You say you "have better things to do"...apparently you don't, because you make a fool of yourself on this board 24/7.
4) - Now 'RoyalKing/Jeff', I really THOUGHT you had learned an important lesson with your earlier moronic 'IMBOCILE' post, but apparently you are incapable of learning anything! If you are going to call somebody a 'HYPOCRIT', you damned well better make sure you spelled it correctly!...it's HYPOCRITE, you MORON!

I think if anyone wants to go to the earlier thread of today, and view posts of RoyalKing, you will find him lecturing Rodan on "using spellcheck" before posting. Does anyone else see a little HYPOCRISY on RoyalKing's part here? Other spelling errors you made include 'analyist' (analyst), and, 'rediculous' (ridiculous).

RODAN, you might want to lecture RoyalKing a little about using a spellchecker!

I had not planned to post a thing tonight, but responding to this obsessed MORON is kind of like shooting fish in a barrel, although it does get a little tiring.

By royalking on March 23, 2007 12:59 AM

Funny, I don't see any spelling errors in the above posts. How does that foot feel in your ass?

By royalking on March 23, 2007 1:02 AM

lil mikey, did anybody mention your name? No, they didn't. Who's obsessed?

By royalking on March 23, 2007 1:06 AM

Rodan, what did I say, when the loons have nothing else, they go after the spelling. There is the proof right there. 3 words out of thousands, that's all he has, that, and no life.

By Mike on March 23, 2007 1:07 AM

"Who's obsessed"

YOU....MORON!

By Rodan on March 23, 2007 1:09 AM

Royalking,
Truth Syndicate is Coward Watch. Those exchanges that were posted were against him. I humiliated him yesterday. He's embarrased when he said I knew nothing about the Middle East.
It turned out was I was Lebanese Christian.
He has backed off and not posted. Now conceeding defeat, he uses another name and goes off the deep end.
CW is a sick Jihadi!

By Mike on March 23, 2007 1:11 AM

"How does that foot feel in your ass?"

Pretty good, since you missed you completely the whole point of that segment. Now go back and review segment 15....MORON!

By James on March 23, 2007 1:13 AM

Keith's hypocracy strikes again. He said that Glenn Beck had "weight phobia" because of what he said about Rosie O'Donnell. This from the same guy who called somebody "fat boy" live on the air. And that person was Rush Limbaugh. Tonight's "Worst Person in the World". Then he goes on to insult Glenn's looks. Saying that Glenn doesn't look good on tv. This from the same man whose face was as red as a lobster.

By royalking on March 23, 2007 1:16 AM

With all the Republican "scandals" one would think Olbermann's ratings would be at an all time high?

What do you get when you give a leftist, washed up sportscaster a news commentary show? Progressive Failure!

Royalking,
Ulbermahn's ratings don't go up anymore because his show is the same propaganda day after day. It's boring.
Thinking liberals see it's propaganda and they're bored!

By Grammie on March 23, 2007 1:18 AM

Mike, RoyalKing is right. The only peron who brought your name up before your post was:

I wonder if Michael Savage is aware that such a large part of his fan base are absolutel MORONS, like RoyalKing?

I suppose he doesn't care, because money is money. 'Dumb' money spends just as well as 'smart' money.

Rest assured RoyalKing, whan I call you a MORON, I'm not just "calling you names", because you REALLY are a MORON.

By royalking on March 23, 2007 1:24 AM

lil mikey, for someone who supposedly didn't waste their whole day on that idiotic post you seem to be strangely defending it, again, refer to my 12:59 post. This time read it twice very carefully. Imagine you are watching Ulbermahn.

By Howard K. Stern on March 23, 2007 1:26 AM

Lick my butt neocons!!

By royalking on March 23, 2007 1:27 AM

lil mikey, your last two posts have spelling errors, just thought I would point out you're a total hypocrit, once again.

By Mike on March 23, 2007 1:29 AM

Grammie, the MORON was unmistakingly referring to me in his 11:28 post. He had decided to "not mention names", but was still attempting to take digs at me.

Funny thing is, I had made a resolution to not mention or address him again, as long as he dropped his ridiculous obsession with me. He HAD made a couple of other attempted digs earlier, again 'without naming names', but the one at 11:28 was just too obvious to let go.

Have you decided to change your screen name to 'Grammie' now? I had been calling you Janet.

By Rodan on March 23, 2007 1:34 AM

Grammie,
The Syndicate is the Kreature of the Kult of Keith, Coward Watch!

By Mike on March 23, 2007 1:39 AM

RoyalKing: Your too stupid to understand that your not being dissed for spelling errors at all! It's not surprising that you don't get that either, since...as I keep saying, you are a MORON!

You were called earlier for calling somebody an 'EMBOCILE', while misspelling the very word you used to insult that person's intelligence with. THAT is classic hypocrisy.

You were called by me for calling me a hypocrit, while misspelling the very word you tried to insult me with.

You were called for lecturing Rodan about misspellings when YOUR posts have more misspellings than his, and what's worse, you tend to misspell the most relevant words in the post.

Now, I don't really expect you to understand your own hypocrisy and stupidity. Why, because you're a MORON!

By Mike on March 23, 2007 1:42 AM

"The Syndicate is the Kreature of the cult of Keith, Coward Watch."

I don't believe that at all.

By Grammie on March 23, 2007 2:22 AM

Well, Mike, I didn't remember your name coming up so I did a 'find' and it only appeared in whatever idiot spent obscene amounts of time on his demented project before your post.

Might I gently remind you, based on your assessment of me, that taking things too personally might not be the best course to follow.

As to my name. I began posting here last summer. At that time I was a neophyte in this new world, to me, of the internet. When that little box at the top asked for my name, I gave my legal name.

I don't remember when or why I started adding 'AKA Grammie'. However, I am known as Grammie to virtually everyone from family, to neighbors, to neighbor's kids. I have a great nephew who started calling me Aunt Janet Grammie. No doubt he will go far because at the age of two he already knows how to cover all the bases.

When R Cox mentioned TypeKey I signed up as Grammie (only after sending an E-mail asking what a member name was). Although I can't get TypeKey to work I realized that putting my name out there, especially in light of the vicious posts directed to me, isn't the smartest thing to do.

Mike, you may address me as either Janet or Grammie. Either way, I am me.

By Mike on March 23, 2007 2:23 AM

RoyalKing again: "refer to my 12:59 post. This time read it twice very carefully"

By Anonymous on March 23, 2007 2:27 AM

mike, dude, could you make any more of an ass out of yourself?

By Mike on March 23, 2007 2:41 AM

Grammie:

He referred to my "posting between trasactions". That was the obvious dead givaway that he was STILL dissing me. I'm pretty sure that I'm one of the only ones who has ever posted that quote on this blog. I'm CERTAINLY the only one RoyalKing is obsessed with that has ever posted that quote. The closest thing to it I ever saw was when Cee said he posted "in between seeing patients".

If there was any doubt to anyone that he was still referring to me, his 1:24 follow up post should quell any doubt about that.

That said, you are RIGHT. I AM responding far too personally to this! I have to admit I peeked when I shouldn't have after saying I was not coming back only to find that he had been accusing other poster's over and over again of being me. After that, I couldn't help but keep looking every now and then to see if he was still doing it, and damned if he wasn't. It was funny at first and some other bloggers made some pretty funny references to it, but it started to get pretty old, and thats when I decided to confront it head on.

When he seemed to tone it down a LITTLE earlier today, I really thought that Johnny or Bob might have contacted him privately to explain that all those posts he claimed were mine were in fact, not mine.

Your right, I SHOULD just treat it as mindless background noise. I really do want this to stop. I am aware that other people on here are probably getting sick of it, although some may find it amusing.

By Mike on March 23, 2007 2:45 AM

"mike, dude could you make any more of an ass of yourself?"

tonite's worst person in the universe goes to keif olbermann who took the opportunity to promote himself in the news of elizabeth edwards re-occurring cancer. MISTER olbermann described how years ago Mrs. edwards made it point to tell him how important HE was to her when thinking about her son who had passed away. That's just great SIR here is a woman who announces that she has an incurable cancer and you make it a point to tell a story about yourself and how important YOU are have you no decency SIR? Mr. olbermann take a leave of absence and examine that giant ego of your you SIR are a disgrace to the TV 'journalist' fraternity and to disgrace that bunch you sir have to be pretty low.

Gee, Rudy, have you forgotten 9/11 already?
Rudy "Giliani" is "America's Mayor".
It is only logical that the Bush Supporters wrap themselves even tighter in the flag.
Maybe Dick would welcome a third round as VP, to remind us all that if the DemocRATS win, the terrorists win.

Your obviously a prankster and a phoney.
The only Republican that can win in 2008 is Rudy Giulliani. America is sick of Social Conservatives. Rudy neutralizes the Dems on social issues thus putting more states in play.
If you really care about this cuntry, support Rudy he'll be all that's standing between a Stalinist-Islamic takeover of America.
