After making the painful decision to shut down OlbermannWatch, we gathered the entire OlbyWatch team for a post-mortem off-site at The Greenbriar a fabulous five-star resort nestled in the Allegheny Mountains of West Virginia. Amidst much laughter and tears, we spent the weekend de-constructing what went wrong in our quest to end Keith's career and what we might have done differently. It wasn't until Monday morning, when we returned to our now near-vacant Olbermann Watch offices that we learned the full extent of the rejoicing among the blue blogs at the demise of Olbermann Watch.
In reviewing the intentional misinformation, misrepresentations, vitriol and other negatives being written on numerous anti-OlbermannWatch blogs and by anti-OlbermannWatch bloggers we were astounded but frankly not surprised. By the time lunch rolled around we were beginning to have second thoughts. Clearly, if the OlbyLoons were THAT excited about our decision to close Olbermann Watch we must have been doing something right. There were whispers among the staff that maybe, just maybe, we had been a bit too hasty.
The words of one loyal Olbermann Watch reader rang in our ears
"Are you kidding me??!! How can you close now? He's NOT letting up! You're the most and best experienced at giving K.O. to KO! We need our best troopers on this mission! Get your butts back in those chairs and slam those keypads! Do we have to Patton-slap you back to the front???!! "
The more we thought about it the more realized this clear-thinking reader was right. Now is when our country needs us most. If Olbermann Watch was not going to speak to truth to Olbermann, who would? The whispered question "four more years?" became an affirmation and then a rhythmic chant. Like a sleeper awakening from a deep dream we saw our mission and sailed into it. Archives, packed up in boxes and sent to the warehouse, retrieved, RAM memory upgraded on now dusty CPUs and pencils sharpened. Recommitted to our vital mission to expose the heinous malfeasance of Keith Olbermann and his sordid staff from the Newshole.
So tonight, we give you our loyal readers this solemn pledge.
This is what we are going to try to do. It is the resolve of the entire staff of Olbermann Watch-every man of them. That is the will of all clear-thinking Olbermann Watch readers and the nation.
Olbermann Watch and its loyal readers, linked together in their cause and in their need, will defend to the death their right to bring truth and light to the words and deeds of Keith Olbermann, aiding each other like good comrades to the utmost of their strength.
Even though large tracts of the blue blogs and many old and famous newspapers have fallen or may fall into the grip of Olbermania and all the odious apparatus of the dreaded liberal media, we shall not flag or fail.
We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in the blogosphere, we shall fight on the RSS feeds and in podcasts, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the ether, we shall defend our blog, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight in the comment sections, we shall fight on the left-wing internet forums, we shall fight in the discussion groups and in the streets, we shall fight in the A-List blogs; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this blog or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then fellow bloggers beyond the seas, armed and guarded by truth and justice, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the uber-bloggers, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the this vital community of Olbermann Watch readers.

I added two new posts to handle all the emails and comments celebrating the demise of Olbermann Watch
OlbyLoon Letters to the Editor
OlbyLoon Comment Threads on "Closing" of OlbyWatch
Great news glad to see it now get get him!
Boo! Hiss!
Hallelujah!
Bravo!
A very wise decision.
Amen. Anyway I can join the OlbyWatch team? I am getting my BA in Creative Writing right now - should be good for dissecting Olbyspin.
Nice to see y'all back!
When you've got that many foul-mouth and foul-mood blue-blog sorts celebrating your demise, you know you've been doing something right!
Hurray for the return of Olbermann Watch!
It's a dirty job but someone has to do it!
To quote dear old Olby: Great, thanks, Bob! You are doing a great service to this country by combating Olby and his army of delusional Olbyloons.
The Greenbrier - nice touch. Someone has good taste.
Wow!!! Great!! 4 more years 4 more years.Good luck and good night.
Thank goodness!
Keep fighting the good fight!
Allah Akbar!
Thank God!
Hell, praise Satan!
WELCOME BACK!!!!!!!!
Hooray!!!! *does happy dance*
Now don't ever mess with me like that again!
Thank you, I love your site. It's hilarious!
You guys just blew any credibility you had. You took a principled position, which you have not addressed in this post, that you were contributing to the rise of Olbermann and then packed it in only to throw it all away.
You said that you were doing more harm than good by keeping OW running, ergo coming back would only continue the harm. This contradiction is the main reason why I think this whole thing was a big PR stunt.
I don't buy the bullsh-t that you changed your mind. I think you had a planned site redesign and this was a way of covering your ass.
What a great Welcome Home from Spring Training gift for the Olbywan. He will be beside himself.
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow creeps in this petty pace from day to day to the last syllable of recorded time; and all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player who struts and frets his hour upon the stage and is heard no more. It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
And if I sound pissed off it's because I am. I think I was used. I don't like being used.
Spud, you're bitter.
Also take down ICN from the list of people rejoicing at the demise of OW. That wasn't what I was doing at all. Just noting that with OW gone, KO's life just got easier. You misconstrued that into me dancing on your graves.
Countdown is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing - except for the Tin-Foil Hatters. They seem to love it and grasp onto every lying word.
Spud, you're much too young a man to be so bitter and angry that Owatch is back baby!
Wondeful !!!!
I’ve been a "Olby Hater" before being a "Olby Hater" was cool ! I think I invented the term "Olby". Now I know its not as great as say...inventing the internet, but to me its special.
I was forced to go to CrooksandLairs and they censored me. I wasn’t nasty or anything. You guys know me I’m not nasty ? At least OlbermannWatch lets the Fruitcakes/Wackos/NutJobs/ and Communist have their say.
Feels good to be home again !
Spud's mad because this site is back to bash on his libnut hero. I can't decide who is the bigger Olbyloon - Spud or Brian Stelter.
Spud you damn Killjoy..Get out of that damn dirty diaper it will give ya a new perspective on the whole think..
God its good to home....I'm all damn warm and fuzzy...How about you guys ?
Spud is a lot fairer than TVN but that's not really saying very much. He's still a MSNBC fan boy but at least he allows comments on his site which is more than we can say for Brian and TVN.
True, Brandon. At least he lets his readers share their opinions.
Which, by the way, is more than can be said for TVN or the News Hole. Ah, Olby the crusader for tolerating dissent who forbids it on his demented web site. What a mensch.
What a pain. With OW gone, at least I could finally get back to using my time a little more effectively, but now...look what you have gone and done! Maybe I can just PRETEND you still don't exist anymore!
I’m ready!
Bring on them-dare godless communists. Those tree hug’in, end of guns flower stuff’in lefty dirt bag traitors!
But hey guys can I purpose one new rule. Let’s try to cut back on the name calling!
HELL NO !
What about them righty dirt bag traitors?
Your side still lost, fundie.
Now you will make Olberman richer and more famous.
Sucks to you be.
:mittens:
DEAL
I'm going to hoist a big ole' glass of Merlot and celebrate the return of Owatch and thank Cox for deciding to fight the good fight and expose Olbermann for the skilled actor he really is. Many thanks!
Olbermann is a great American. Truly great Americans have always had determined enemies who wish to silence them. Why should Keith be any different?
DR.COX
glad to have you back to hold olbermoron's feet to the fire.moonbats ands wingnutz your vacation is over.oh yeah edwards is a fag!!!!
BUSH ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And JTM371 is a nothing but a ghoul, as he proved with that demented comment he made about "dead liberals". 'People' like JTM371 is living proof that Olbermann is on the side of decency.
Crappy website design... brought to you by Olbermann Watch. I must admit, however, I missed you guys.
Spud's pissed... OWatch is back... is this a great country or what!
I like the website,, however my cat refuses to read it while he is crapping on the pages I have printed out.
Who wants to see some of the emails I got last week from the OlbyLoons?
Yes, same with my dog. It's as if a 13 year-old "webmaster" designed it using Geocities. Non-quality web design and analysis, again... brought to you by OlbyWatch.
I'm impressed. Nice redesign. How a "Worst Olbyloon in the World."
Robert, why do you continue to dedicate yourself to trying to silence one of the few voices speaking out on the left, as you yourself have admitted? It should make you feel pretty dirty to have commited yourself to such an anti-American goal.
That should be: How about a "Worst Olbyloon in the World"
?????
Nice. Love the Churchill
If they need to be scared, why not allow them the satisfaction of being dismayed by ONE sportscaster turned newscaster/commentator? I mean, it's only fair...

yeah and all those nice moonbats that wished that Cheney would have been assassinated.you wingnutz prove my point everytime you open your mouth or type on your keyboard.just in case you forgot edwards is still a Fag.
BUSH ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!
I wonder if Edward's wife knows that he is a 'fag'?
JTM371, keep on hurting your own side with your filthy, demented, perverted 'mouth'.
"And 10s of people all around the internets rejoice at this news."

why don't you go ask the former mrs mcgreevey of new jersey if her husband who fathered ther children was a fag.
BUSH ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!
Welcome back Mr. Cox and all of Olbermann Watch. I guess I was one of the very few who got the meaning of the cryptic image of the possum pic. Glad to have you back.
Oh, and if you do decide to share the emails from the Olbyloons, please do so on the pages for all to see. It will be quite enlightening. Not surprising, but enlightening nonetheless.
I really hope JTM371 keeps posting because every one of his posts are repulsive to anyone who believes in common decency.
Earth to JTM371...You make your own side look bad!
march 8
its funny you skip right over the cheney comment.just like you skipped over the bill arkin calling our troops mercenaries.oh yeah all you moonbats support the troops.
BUSH ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why should I have commented on "the Cheney comment"? I didn't make it, and neither did anyone I know or respect, including Bill Maher.
There is always going to be over the top comments from the fringe on both sides, as you prove with every new comment you make.
march 8
so why won't you condemn those comments and the statement by bill arkin is he on the fringe.commentator for nbc news and op ed for wa post.
TVNewser's Brian Stelter just crapped in his pants!
Are you dense? I HAVE condemned those comments. What are we supposed to do, go to the top of the nearest hill and yell about comments we didn't make, and don't agree with ourselves?
Too funny. The Olbylovers are hoping that Spud bans all "Olbermann haters" from his website. These people really do want to silence any opposition to their hero don't they?
Here's the link:

"the Olbylovers are hoping that Spud bans all "Olbermann Haters" from his website".
Where did you get that crazy idea from?
the posts at your little Olbermann-love website?
march 8
i just want to no when you condemned these comments.when the arkin statements came up before and the kos comments about the blackwater employees deserving to be killed in fallujah none i repeat none of you moonbats would condemn either statement.the excuses were i never read the statements and i don,t go to daily kos.
BUSH ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And while you're there, check out there sex fantasies and "fanfiction" about Olbermann. Click on my name on this post for the link there. Enjoy the laughs.
And when you get tired of that? Read the "song" one of the Loons has composed in honor of their "hero". Same as above--click on my name on this post and it will take you there. I can't decide if it's comical that middle-aged women use that smileys in a post or if it's just tragic. Since they are Olbermann fans who can't seem to come to grips with the fact that KO is shacked up with a 20-year old girl (they still think she's a "mature" student who couldn't seem to graduate until 2005 as a 40-year old or something), I'll just go with tragic, amusingly tragic though I must say!
JTM371, you're obsessed!
Like I said, I DID condemn, and disassociate myself with those comments.
Once again, what are we supposed to do, go to the highest hill and shout out my disagreement? I'm not responsible for what anyone else says, including you.
When are you going to get off of that? You sound like a broken record!
Brandon, sorry but YOU'RE the one who seems to be obsessed with Keith Olbermann's sex life. I'm sure as hell not.
Ahhh, the Olbyloons are back in the house and they are offended! Life is indeed very, very good.
What prats you are!
http://christopherhitchenswatch.blogspot.com/2007/03/watching-watching-watchers.html
Thanks for the laughs guys, keep it up!
JTM371: Here's what you don't get. Freaks like Ann Coulter, William Arkin, and YOU are all free to voice their opinions, no matter how demented, wrong, or ghoulish.
And that is what helps make America great.
march 8
i guess that is the best i'm going to get from you.being called a freak by you i will take as a compliment.until we joust again be free my moonbat and fly fly away.
BUSH ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
RCox: Was the possum in your picture okay, injured, or dead?
A final comment from me for the evening.
We only began to work on a new site on Tuesday and this is as far as we could get before end of day Thursday which is about when we figured Google would start to flush our old links and we would start looking our Google Page Rank. So we went live with what we had at 8 PM ET with the intention of fine tuning the site over the coming days.
So do not be surprised to find a few obvious changes like flipping the left rail over to the right, putting back in the blogroll, surveys, flickr gallery, BlogAds and all that as well as many minor tweaks. We should have things pretty well in place by Monday when Keith gets back from Florida.
I would be remiss if I did not say that I am really glad we put the site back up. I think I even missed O'Leily.
PS, Ed ping me about your request.
Was that a 'no' ?
Are you kidding Obama? Republicans don't care a whit about animal cruelty or other sissy stuff like that.
Take Cheney for example. He likes to blast frightened little birds to kingdom come with a shotgun blast right after they are released from a cage just for him. Sometimes he misses and hits things he's not supposed to hit.
What a man!
:-(
Wecome back, OW. I knew you'd come to your senses all along.
I see the chicken bloggers are still with us.
In case your education is lacking, its called a 'pecking order'. Even 'frightened little birds' prey upon other tinier frightened itty bitty things.
Mother Nature is not a kindly wimpy little old wimp. Life is brutal at all levels.
Wake up and smell the coffee
Grammie.
Grammie; I see now that when Mike questioned your humanity, he had very good reason for doing so. You and chickenhawks like Cheney deserve each other.
This is a new feature that I am thinking of doing ...
Countdown for March 1 2007 Off-Screen Disturbance Guide:
Issue #4: A 'wih' when Olbermann quiped that the Jury wanted moire post it notes as an attempt to plug the toilet.
Oddball: Multiple giggles audible when Mr. Olbermann related to a racist comment from a baseball player.
Issue #3: After Keith Olbermann reads aloud his book jacket quote, a female laugh is heard. Also, Keith Olbermann makes a noise like a 'swoosh'.
Tabs: While the noise did not come from an actual person, it is still an example of bad standards---
Issue #1: Creepy laughter. Olbermann's staff has to know what "on air" means for the show !!!!!
great! i was kind of surprised the site closed just because olbermann was validated by that kooky msnbc with a new contract. since when did clear thinkers stop fighting for what they believe in so easily? keep it up as long as you want, but don't ever quit based on what MSNBC does! they suck ASS!
So glad to have a place (again) to expose Olbermann for the fake and fraud he truly is. Anyone else remember hearing him say that Anderson Cooper chose a blue bulletproof vest only to bring out his "eyes" when he went to Iraq? So guess what color bulletproof jacket Brian Williams had on this week while he was in Iraq. Blue. But we'll never know what color bulletproof vest they'd put Olbermann in. While Brian Williams was risking his life in Iraq guess where Olby's been hanging out at? Sniffing jock straps at Spring Training in Florida. And THAT is your idea of this generation's Edward R. Murrow? In your dreams, people, in your dreams. And his too.
Wow, i gotta admit, I thought you had gone belly up. When i seen that possum, i could not have been happier.
What the hell is up with watchingrobertcox.com not knowing what the possum meant? It seemed pretty obvious.
Wow KAF, what AWFUL things you said. How id Olbermann ever going to live that down?
Chicken Blogger, how nice to see you again, too.
Are you saying that to be human is to not be part of the natural world? In the world of nature virtually all are both predators and prey. And man is the ultimate dominate predator.
I've plucked, gutted, scaled, skinned and dressed enough wild life in my younger days to be aware of the down and dirty aspect of the food chain.
Exactly how do you think our predercessors and then modern man survived to produce us. If you can't live with that aspect you are in trouble.
Grammie

OWUBiT, huh?

I am not in the mood to get into this. Bitter website refuses to come undone. Grammie making things up out of thin air. Spud, KAF, & Brandon are back !!!!! G' night !!!!!

Please, these city-slicker pussies? They wouldn't know what a wild animal is if one bit them in the ass. And now Owatch is back to bite Olby in the ass. It's a great world isn't it???????

He he he he he ha heheh ha ha. If you don't know this site closing like it did was a plan to get attention than you are not as clever as you think you are. I am glad it is back though. I learn so much from you all.
Grammie: I gave myself a name because that seemed to bother you. I sure don't want to be a bother to you.
We supposedly rose above such things, remember? Today we kill everything that threatens us so we no longer have to be on the lower rungs of the food chain. However, little bitty birds released out of a cage hardly theaten anybody.
To blast these little bitty birds away as they fly out of a little cage put there just for your personal pleasure is about as cowardly as anything I can think of. To actually derive pleasure from such a thing is just about as deviant as anything I can think of.
Don't kid yourself, this has nothing to do with the natural order of things, or the natural world. But it certainly does serve to explain everything about the coldest AND most vile man to ever 'serve' the presidency.
And IF you identify with such a thing, Mike was right.
No, dear, I call everyone who hides behind no identifier Chicken Blogger. It works for me.
What a sensitive soul you are. No doubt you choke on gruel because plants have feelings too.
I value humanity above all other species, period.
