"COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN" (8:00 P.M.-9:00 P.M. ET)
Host: Keith Olbermann
Topics/Guests:
The opening spiel dealt with the Virginia Tech shooting, but with a unique bit of OlbySpin. These kids died "violently, senselessly, pointlessly", but in the last ten days 30 soldiers died "violently, senselessly, pointlessly" in Iraq. Yes, on OlbyPlanet, our soldiers' deaths in a struggle to help a people are just as unimportant and meaningless and "pointless" as the victims of a psychopathic killer. Why does Keith Olbermann hate our troops? Plus the US attorneys "scandal" [Ding!] continues, and "damning" revelations. The Spin Starts Here.
UPDATE: Video & Transcript
#5/#4: The campus shooting. with special emphasis on the purchase of the "pistule". Report from Kevin Corke. Interview with Aamer Madhani of the Chicago Trib. Background of the shooter with James Fox. Regurgitated NBC report on the victims.
#3: Rev Olbermahn's sermon on why Americans dying in Iraq are just as pointless as the victims of the campus shooter. Why are we suppressing our grief for the all the deaths caused by the Bush Crime Family? (Um, that's a paraphrase.) The Wolffe Man was brought on to amplify OlbySpin. Iraq has left us "hardened" to deaths; 9/11 "distorted" the costs we can bear; are future deaths "worth it"? Oralmann said the war opponents need to emphasize the casualties more. You know, like we did in World War II. Bathtub Boy wanted the campus shootings to influence the debate on Iraq. Wolffie said "sadly" that is unlikely to happen until we "wake up". Great thanks.
#2: The Gonzales situation: Monica Goodling may be offered immunity before Congress. Just like "worst person" Ollie North. Yes, time for the latest episode of Olby and the Perfessor, as Jonathan Turley skulked into the Countdown Seat of Honor. Ooh, Rove and Bush may have been involved in the selection of Presidential appointees. We can't have that! That's "improper"! Gonzales's written statement is "robotic". How can a written document be robotic? You'll have to ask The Perfessor. Again, Olby brings up those "conservatives" Bob Barr (of the ACLU) and "David" Vigurie (maybe that's Richard's Dad). As for those "damning revelations" that were promised? Conspicuous by their absence. Of course, the inevitable Great Thanks.
#1: Update and recap on the shooting. The Media Matters Minute went after John Derbyshire and Nathaniel Blake (Blue Blog Source: Think Progress), as well as Debbie Schlussel (Blue Blog Source: Media Matters). Olby explained this segment is just "satirical social commentary", presumably to explain to befuddled viewers why the campus mass murderer didn't make the cut.
Dogs that did not bark: Because of the major focus on breaking news, we will again cut Keithy a bit of a break. However, we must reiterate that on Friday's Hour of Spin, Herr Olbermann gave a "worst person" nomination to Malik Shabazz, but put up someone else's picture by mistake. Oops. As he slammed Shabazz for calling Michelle Malkin a "prostitute", all that time the screen showed Opio Sokoni. One would think this would covered with a correction, retraction, or apology. Yet that dog did not bark on tonight's Hour of Spin. Ironically, it was just about a year ago that Oralmann spent an entire segment slamming Bill O'Reilly for--you guessed it--putting up an incorrect picture of someone.
Olbermann's book The book that bears Olbermann's name is a stupendous #29,652 at amazon.com, while "Culture Warrior" is #404. (It's that 2-for-$25 sale!) The OlbyTome has no rank at all at Barnes & Noble; O'Reilly's book is #1,422 there, and is one of the top five books of 2006 per Publishers Weekly. Monday's Hour of Spin got a breaking news bump, but still couldn't do any better than third place, both in total viewers and in the critical, beloved, all-important, coveted "key demo".
UPDATE: Video & Transcript
Read the transcript to the Tuesday show
Yesterday, after seeing Brandon’s feeble attempt at defending his daily toiling at Olbermann Watch, which basically amounted to: You gotta have more than just Wal-Mart experience to work HERE!…I started to wonder, what does it take to work at Olbermann Watch? If you’ve been on this site for more than a week, the answers become hilariously clear:
First, what you DON’T NEED to work at OlbermannWatch:
1.) A strong command of the English language.
Just read any blog entry from Bob, Johnny, Brandon or others to see that the ‘Official Language of the United States’ is under attack…but not from Illegal Aliens, from our very own Olbermann Watch crew. Good news guys, I hear there’s plenty of great courses you can take if English is your first OR your second language.
2.) The ability to type.
The OW crew is so bad at typing, they’ve actually used that fact as a point in their favor during debates. When folks try to inform them that they have misspelled numerous words, they proudly proclaim, ‘It’s not that we can’t spell, it’s just that we can’t type.” Now that’s some good advice: Find out what you’re bad at, and stick with it.
3.) Critical thinking skills.
Wanna be a member of the OW crew? Check your brain at the door. You have to be willing to believe everything someone says is a lie, even when they say they are lying. The crew is so immersed in their own propaganda, they might just be starting to believe it themselves. Yes, a lie repeated often enough will eventually be believed, except at Olbermann Watch, where it just gets ridiculously tedious.
4.) The ability to actually debate anything.
Of course I’m not the first to point out that Brandon’s debating skill equates to simple name calling. Well sure, I’d call everyone who disagreed with me crazy to, when faced with the alternative he’s faced with: That he’s WRONG about everything. Yeah, Brandon, you’re fine…everyone else is crazy.
5.) A Conscience.
Attacking someone for their hypocrisy while actively engaging in hypocrisy is certainly much easier without a conscience. Don’t worry, though, having a conscience isn’t necessarily a deal breaker. If you’re really good at ignoring it, that’s almost as good.
Now, the skills you DO NEED to work at Olbermann Watch:
1.) The ability to make up fake words to go with your fake ideas. Yes, if you are clever enough to come up with silly childish names such as ‘Olbyloon’ or ‘Olbyplanet’ then they might just have a job for you. Jeff threw his cowboy hat into the ring with his creation, ‘Anonyloon’ but so far it just hasn’t gotten much traction from the establishment at OW.
2.) Fox News Channel. Yes, required viewing amongst the OW crew. How else can you keep up with current events and stay on message without the help of a Bill O’Reilly Talking Points Memo. If your news channel has to keep telling you how ‘Fair & Balanced’ they are, you’re definitely watching Fox.
3.) A singular vision of what Olbermann Watch should be. Yes, you can comment about Keith, you can comment about Iraq, you can comment about Racism, but gosh golly if someone else strays off the topic of Keith Olbermann, you have to be able to swoop in and put them in their place. Yes, you can talk about whatever you like, but others here have to keep it on topic: Keith Olbermann (or MSNBC, or The Liberal Media, or…?)
4.) A political axe to grind with Keith Olbermann. Perhaps Keith reminds you of the school teacher that gave you that bad grade in math. Perhaps ‘Keith’ is the name of the guy that was picked over you for that promotion you were going for. Perhaps you’ve been gay bashing for so long that when you see NBC’s rainbow hued peacock logo you fly into a blind rage. Whatever the reason, check your facts at the door. This is Olbermann Watch, all you need is a singular obsession with someone who is more successful and makes more money than you do, and pretend that it’s not jealousy.
5.) Free time. Lots and lots of free time. When you don’t have command of the English language, the ability to type, the ability to debate, critical thinking skills, or a conscious, well you’d better have lots and lots of free time, because this ain’t gonna be easy. I’d like to give them an ‘A’ for effort, but working hard and dumb is so much less effective than working smart. Keep trying guys, you have plenty of time to get it right-about 4 more years to be exact.
The Georgia Republicans who kept reelecting Bob Barr would be surprised to learn he isn't a conservative. I'm glad to see you admit anyone who cares about liberty, rights, freedom, or the Constitution must be a liberal. David Keene of the American Conservative Union also signed the letter.
Olbermann was pointing out we're putting much more emphasis on these 32 deaths than we do on the deaths in Iraq. Liberals were mocked and called traitors for mentioning the numbers or listing names. But two straight days of coverage of these 32 deaths hasn't drawn that criticism.
Conscience? You wanna talk about the lack of a conscience? Let's talk about Olbermann's attempt to negate the tragedy in Virginia by equating it with the war in Iraq. Never mind the soldiers in Iraq voluntered to serve in the military and these kids in Virginia were just trying to get an education. The expectation isn't that will be murdered while attending class but if you sign up to serve in the military, yes, that comes with a certain expectation that you might actually face a hostile enemy at some point in your military career. Not that you Olbyloons would know anything about careers-you're too busy spinning apologies to cover your hero Olbermann's ample ass and holding down your part-time jobs at Wal-mart.
By the way, good to know i'm getting underneath your skin. Wait til you see the latest Olbyloon project I'm working on!
Hey, Mr. "strong command of the English language", the word is conscience, not conscious.
Free time. Lots and lots of free time.
You mean like you?
When you don’t have command of the English language,
You mean how Mike tried to belittle Royal for "I am I"? I'll repost from the other thread:
Uh Jeff...LOL...what 'word' was that? Was it the 'no' in "you wouldn't no humor", or would it be the "I" in "I am I"?
Your SO clever Jeff. Why Jeff, you're the only one I know who can 'trap' folks using bad grammar!
Are you the grammarian, Mke?
Do you understand the difference between a linking verb and an action verb? Then what kind of pronoun follows a linking verb? Yes, that is right, a subjective pronoun, not an objective one. I is the subjective, me is the objective. Therefore, am (a linking verb) requires the subjective pronoun I.

It's a war! People die in wars! You act like this comes as a huge shock to you. It was the greatest mass murder in American history and you don't think it warrants coverage because you think that their time would be better spent bashing Bush? Get a grip on reality! But hey, the Olbypologists can always be counted on to spin the offensive comments of Keith Olbermann. That's why you people don't hold down gainful employment: you spend all your time here and elsewhere on the internet spinning up wild-ass theories to cover Olbermann's ass!
It's a message board. It's not a test. It's not being graded. And I don't remember seeing a sign that said you had to type X words per minute to post anywhere on the internet. And if there was an IQ test, none of you Olbyloons would be allowed anywhere near a keyboard or a computer. No wonder you can't find your way out of college or the Kwikie Mart.
Kevin,
I was going to make that point also (conscience).
If you are going to insult, at least do a little proofreading. Now who is LMAO?
Thanks, Sharon. Great minds think alike.
I shouldn't be shocked that Olbermann would stoop so low to somehow try to minimize the deaths in Virginia at the hands of a psychotic gunman. Nor should I be shocked that he'd try somehow to tie it to Iraq and chime in with his usual Bush-bashing. I was watching the liberal websites yesterday and you know what the overwhelming concern was of the Liberal Loon contingent? That the Gonzales thing had been postponed. They were furious about that. They also wildly (and incorrectly) speculated that the shooter had to be a right-wing Republican "redneck". These people never let facts get in the way of their agenda. And you can write all the 10,000 word essays you want to in order to divert attention away from what a slimeball your hero Olbermann is, but the fact remains that he has reached an all-time low tonight and owes the families of those who died and the students of VT a huge apology.
Sharon: Thanks teach!
I'm glad Jeff has so many defenders on this board.
DO you feel 'good' about defending a troll who has lied repeatedly on this board just because he is on your 'team'. So you think falsely accusing someone on this board of being anybody and everybody else whose politics they just happen to dislike is defendable????
Great Sharon...I actually thought you were better than that!
And Sharon, regardless of whether it technically conforms to grammar rules, if someone came up to you and said "I am I", you would role your eyes as well, at least as long as they were not on your 'team'.
Brandon,
It's good to see, like the typical conservative, you couldn't care less about our soldiers.
Wal-Mart is the creation of Southerners for you inbred rednecks. Check out the latest Census data. Blue state citizens earn more than you red staters. We also send more money to Washington, have better educations, and collect less from government.
During the Imus week, Jonathan Alter (who appeared countless times on Imus as well as Countdown) was on Hardball. I was half listening because I heard him Bush bashing. I thought the topic was the war. No, Alter was making some king of convoluted point that the American people have issues with apologies because Bush has never apologized for anything. This was stated in the context of Imus' multiple apologies. Of course the campus tragedy is Bush's fault. I guess Columbine was also?
"4.) A political axe to grind with Keith Olbermann. Perhaps Keith reminds you of the school teacher that gave you that bad grade in math. Perhaps ‘Keith’ is the name of the guy that was picked over you for that promotion you were going for. Perhaps you’ve been gay bashing for so long that when you see NBC’s rainbow hued peacock logo you fly into a blind rage. Whatever the reason, check your facts at the door. This is Olbermann Watch, all you need is a singular obsession with someone who is more successful and makes more money than you do, and pretend that it’s not jealousy."
Do you think it's fair that this blustering clown would make more more than ME?
Is it fair that a guy of his caliber would have the viewers HE has?
That he'd be paid the money HE'S paid?
That he'd have the popularity HE has?
The speaking engagements....HE garners?
The books HE writes on the NYT Best Sellers list?
Hell, no! Ths idiot.... Bill Orally...that damn son-of-a...
Oh wait.... you're talking about me...
..... nevermind...
Sorry...
eh....Great thanks!
Keith Olbermann
Brandon,
You're on here constantly so you shouldn't attack anyone for spending time online. Do the conservative commentators who essentially called the victims pussies owe anyone an apology?
"I shouldn't be so shocked that Olbermann would stoop so low as to minimize the deaths in Virginia"...
No Brandon, only you and your little band of self congratulating "clear thinkers" see it THAT way. Everyone else with a brain understands that he was trying to wake up the conscience of a nation about another travesty that has been happening all along....but is shamefully beiing hidden from public view as a matter of policy.
Oh wait...all those young soldiers in Iraq 'volunteered' to die for no good reason, didn't they Brandon?
I have two family members serving in Iraq, one is on his second tour, one is on his third. And as usual, you are wrong. I don't live in the South. But I bet I'm right when I say that you're either still trying to find your way out of college or are under or un-employed. Or do Mommy and Daddy suport you as you post all over the internet to spin apologies for Olby?
Shut your trap HYPOCRITE MIKE! You are the one who made the silly argument! I don't care whose "team" it is! It just happens that your "team" is most often making that kind of attack. You are guilty of all the offenses of which you accuse others. I yam what I yam. I doubt anyone here holds the same political view as me. I want Roe v. Wade overturned. No one here does. I say what I believe.
FYI: I am a former high school English teacher.
Johnny,
Aside for John Derbyshire, Media Matters and Oblermann by extention...had to really do some hunting for the other two.... WHO?
I'm just wondering too, is there really a soul here who hasn't asked why the gunman wasn't rushed...and asked it while reminding yourself at the same time that you can't imagine what it's like to be in that situation.
It's all part of the Olbypocrisy syndrome Sharon. They are allowed to say whatever they want. They are allowed to use any tactic whatsoever to achieve their "goals". But oh boy, they have a fit if anyone turns around and uses their tactics on them. Just ask Fat-Ass, Viagra-popping Keith Olbermann.
Sharon,
You're right. I can't imagine any conservative wanting Roe overturned. What a shocking concept. What idiot could ever think conservatives are against abortion?
Brandon,
I'm sorry you're jealous of college-educated people. I have my master's degree and live in my own house. I doubt you can afford your own trailer yet. How's BK working out for you? Did you get promoted to head burger flipper yet?
Sharon said: "of course the campus tragedy is bush's fault..."
Sharon, have you heard ANYBODY in the mainstream media say that? Have you even heard anybody even IMPLY that...oh wait, Johnny implied that, didn't he, but we know how "fair and balanced" he is don't we.
And Sharon, I really would like an answer about your side's failure to call down Jeff for falsely accusing me at least 100 times for posts I didn't make. It speaks volumes about the lack of integrity on your side of the board to me.
Cecelia,
Check over at mypetjawa and read about a professor who threw himself in front of the door costing his life while saving the students'.
I live in a gate-guarded community with not one but two golf courses. My house is worth more than you'll probably make in your miserable life and I own three luxury cars. And I have a Master's degree and a successful career, something you'll never know anything about.
And yes, I have heard someone say that the shootings were Bush's fault. Olbermann last night when he said that the Bush administration allowed a gun law to expire that would have banned gun clips like the one ALLEGEDLY (not even proven) used in the shootings at VT. And you trying to spin and deny for Olbermann speaks VOLUMES about you Lying Mike.
Cecelia,
Check over at mypetjawa and read about a professor who threw himself in front of the door costing his life while saving the students'.

Sharon, I saw that reported today.
A Holocaust survivor, who died on Holocaust Remembrance Day. A member of the Greatest Generation.
I still say that Mike is lying about his military service or he'd understand that you defend your country if you're in the military and if you're in a war, you have to be prepared to die for your country. Liberals like Mike talk about unpopular causes but if these weenies would have been around in WWII can you imagine the bitching and moaning they would have done about the "senseless" deaths? how naiive is it to think that you can have a war without deaths? Do you think I want my family members to die there? Of course I don't. I worry about them every day. And unlike you, I support them and refuse to degrade them. And unlike Olbermann, at least they aren't afraid to serve their country and GO TO IRAQ.
Sharon: "You are gulity of all the offenses in which you accuse others"
EXAMPLES please Sharon!
I have NEVER accused anyone else of secretly posting under other names, even when I suspected it.
It doesn't matter what anyone else on my 'team' might have done because I've never seen this board as a 'team' game, but it is becoming increasingly clear that those on your side do.
I really want an answer Sharon....tell me again it is defensible the way Jeff kept LYING about me posting under other names. Tell me again this is OK because he is on your 'team'!
HYPOCRITE MIKE,
The comments speak for themselves. If you didn't say them, the commenters can see that for themselves. Oh, but everyone who disagrees with you is uneducated, dull-witted. They probably wouldn't understand in any case, right? Concerning the point about Bush's fault for the campus tragedy, it was stated sarcastically in view of the previous observation I made about Alter.
Brandon,
If you're going to lie at least make it believable. By reading your posts, it's obvious you're an uneducated redneck. People who attend graduate school don't attack college students. High school dropouts like you do.
Hey Mike, is that like when you used to chide posters for using "abusive" language but only when it was used against your fellow Olbyloons and never once chided an Olbyloon for saying simply awful things about non-Olbyloons? Yeah, I think that's called being a huge-hypocrite. You know, in the land you Olbyloons live and breath on a daily basis.
Brandon,
You're pretending to be a military man now too? How'd you ever find the time with the master's and mansions and all? Let me guess. You're a four-star general?
Brandon: "I live in a gate-guarded community with no one but two golf courses."
Yes Brandon, you bragged about this before, and we told you we don't give a tinkers damn how much money you have.
Your gutter level value system came through loud and clear with that last post. You may be materially wealthy, but as a human being, you are of the lowest common denominator.
I'm not attacking college students, I'm attacking PROFESSIONAL college students who take 10 years to "graduate" because they're afraid of the big, bad world. I can point you to one who runs one of Olbermann's fan-atic boards. But there are several more who have made college a full-time career. I earned my Master's degree while working a 40-hour plus a week job. No Mommy or Daddy to pay for my tuition, no parents to sponge off of. And I bet your "home" could fit in my garage at least 2x. Slacker.
Nice Sharon....Now you've joined the name calling crowd too.
All I can say is I actually did think you stood head and shoulders above the rest of this sorry obsessed Olbermann hater crowd, but clearly I was wrong about that.
See Brandon's 10:47 post for a glimpse of the morally bankrupt mindset you are aligning yourself with.
Your not going to address my question about Jeff's obvious lies, just a generla statement about 'hypocrites'.
Once again Sharon, I really thought you were better than that!
My only advice to those here, check the ratings... NO ONE and I MEAN NO ONE is watching Countdown for any VA Tech Shooting coverage... O'Reilly's numbers are over 3.5 Million... Larry King was a distant second...

I think this is a CLEAR indication that Olbermann/Matthews are effectively marginalized as any source for insight and opinion as well as news coverage. This has to be driving Keith O nuts... Paula Zahn kicked his ass... You know that pear shaped elitist is beside himself!!!!
Brandon,
You're a pathetic liar. You dodged the question about your military career you implied you had. Now you're claiming you lost your mommy and daddy too? Your story gets better with each retelling of it. Next time can it have lions and tigers and bears oh my? You're trailer trash but if pretending to be rich makes you feel better about yourself, fine. It's obvious you're jealous of others.
Jealous much? Yes, I think you are. And hey, maybe one day you'll get the courage to leave college and actually get an honest job and you can then possibly get a job cutting my lawn.
And read carefully there Colbert. I never said I've served in the military. But I do have two family members currently in Iraq.
And Mike, not that it would matter to you, because facts don't matter to you, Olbermann, or your fellow Olbyloons, but if you could actually comprehend what was posted here earlier, you'd realize that my post was a reaction to one accusing me of being a redneck, someone who lives in a trailer, and someone who is uneducated. None of that is true. Of course, you don't have trouble when one of your fellow Olbyloons throws out personal insults like that do you? It's only when it's aimed at you, a Loon, or Olbermann that you post a self-righteous remark. You're the worst of all possible things Mike, you're a liar, a hypocrite and an Olbypologist.
More O' Rielly outrage: Bill O' Rielly has no right to talk about the tragedy because he brushed it aside when the news was breaking. He is another lost cause with no moral integrity.
However, today Keith Olbermann gets blame --- how dare he equate the troops with said crisis. How dare he use the tragedy as propaganda for his over reiterated political causes. How dare he take 10 days of a war as one day during this awfull situation and draw paralels to two different things.
Oh..I forgot to mention that the mere 500k watching Olberfat is proof the fringe left is small in number.. much like Olberfat is small between the legs... in fact he may own a vagina...
And Keith Olbermann is the LEAST RATED NEWS/OPINON HACK OF THE DAY..........
Colbert, you're a bigger liar than Mikey and that's really saying something. I never said I was a orphan, I just said that I paid for my own education, worked my way through college. I also never said I'd served in the military, unlike your buddy Mike, what I said was that I have family members currently serving in Iraq. You can't admit you can't comprehend what you read. Or maybe you're so stupid you really can't comprehend what you read. And i don't have to "pretend" to be rich. I am. Not Donald Trump rich, but wealthy enough that I don't have to worry about bills. It's actually quite enjoyable. I suggest you get off your lazy ass and work for a living and you too might one day be one-one-hundreth as successful as I have been. But that would require you leaving your job as a full-time Olbypologist and spinner of gross lies now wouldn't it?
So all I have to do is 'prove' that I am very much an honorably discharged veteran who served honorably during wartime, and Brandon's entire argument will collapse.
Brandon, just who the hell are you to say what a veteran should think or say?
Brandon, anyone who is not completely morally bankrupt would even THINK of making a gloating braggart post like you made at 10:47.
Your right Brandon, I DON'T have as much money as you say you do, but I have enough...and I have a couple of friends who could probably literally buy and sell you, but they would never even dream of flaunting their wealth like that, and thats the only reason I call them my friends.
Mikle B: Keith Olbermann does not promote himself as "liberal", though.
You cut their lawns for them don't you Mikey? I imagine they keep you around for amusement purposes. Or to carry their golf clubs. Too bad one hasn't use their nine iron to club some sense into your little tiny liberal brain.
Mike B:
You forgot to post that Olbermann had over 1,000,000 last night...and yes, eveybody was up, especailly CNN.
Why is a little honesty too much to ask from you people?
Oh, and Mike? I never once mentioned my wealth or my success or my education until one of you fellow Olbyloons tried to smear me by saying I was a mobile-home dweller. I simply grew tired of seeing you and your Olbyloon galpals throw out repeated insults and decided to give you a greater insight into why your perceptions were 100% wrong. you know, WRONG, just like Olbermann is every night he's on tv.
Your not going to address my question about Jeff's obvious lies, just a generla statement about 'hypocrites'.
Once again Sharon, I really thought you were better than that!
Posted by: Mike at April 17, 2007 11:05 PM
Mike, I just want to assure that I don't side with Jeff as you say. The whole concept of merely going on along with someone because "they are on my team" is foreign to me.
I want to reassure you that I side with Jeff because you are a complete jerk. Rest assured I side with anyone on your team who feels the same.
I hope that helps.
Mike: It is things like this, >>> the United States only showing interest in the exploitation of tragic events
Brandon: Keep on showing everybody how morally and ethically bankrupt you really are...and I'll keep egging you on.
And no Brandon, I don't cut lawns or carry golf clubs for anybody but myself....but I wouldn't be too proud to admit it if I did..... nor do I look down my nose at anybody who does.
because unlike you Brandon, I actually have some ethics.
"I still say that Mike is lying about his military service or he'd understand that you defend your country if you're in the military and if you're in a war, you have to be prepared to die for your country. Liberals like Mike talk about unpopular causes but if these weenies would have been around in WWII can you imagine the bitching and moaning they would have done about the 'senseless' deaths?"
Let's analyze your words, Brandon. You accuse someone of lying about military service because he doesn't understand it. How would you understand it if you never served?
Your comment about if weenies had been around "in WWII" implies you were "in WWII" which means you fought in WWII.
You ended with "at least they aren't afraid to serve their country and GO TO IRAQ." That would be extremely hypocritical for someoneto accuse others of cowardice for refusing to serve when you refused to serve. If you were around for WWII as you said, you're worse. A much larger percentage of men served in WWII than Iraq but you wimped out. You're a gutless coward.
I worked my way through college. No one ever gave me a dime. I did it all on my own, no college loans, nothing. And I did so while I was working a 40-hour a week job. I never asked for a hand-out, unlike you liberals who believe the world owes you a living. And ethics? I've yet to meet a Democrat who had any.
Olbermann's pathetic ratings last night reveal that no one takes him seriously as a news source. On a night when CNN and Fox were drawing in literally millions of viewers, it was the same old, same old for Olbermann. Edward R. Murrow of his generation? He's not even the Donald Duck of his generation.
Anon at 11:26 pm was me quoting Brandon the Gutless Wonder.
Holy sh-t!
We all know (from TVSnooozer) that the eeeeeevil Bill O’Reilly beat Krazy Keith in the all important, highly coveted “25-54 Demo”:
O’Reilly: 1,082
Meltdown: 541
But now, (according to Drudge), O’Reilly’s show (just HIS show) beat MSNBC’s ENTIRE LINE UP for the ENTIRE DAY!

I don't remember asking YOU the question Cecelia. I believe I asked Sharon. You've already showed YOUR true colors on this board.
As for me being a 'jerk'...you know the old saying about how it takes one to know one?
I guess you would rather identify with a braggart like Brandon or an proven liar like Jeff, but once again, you've already showed your true colors.
You don't need to quote Brandon to see that he is gutless.

Frankly, I wouldn't put anything past you.
Colbert, as usual, your analysis is 100% wrong. No wonder you think Olbermann is a genius. You have zero reading comprehension skills and you're minus zero when it comes to critical analysis. No sane thinking person could read what I posted earlier and come to the conclusions you came to.
TOTAL DAY:
FNC 1,636,000
CNN 1,267,000
MSNBC 525,000

TVNewser says the same thing, and has labeled it:
The Scoreboard: Monday, April 16
Update: 9:55pm: MSNBC data corrected.
Geez...all of these Mike's... Mike, Keith Olbermann is in second to last. The only one trailing him is Matthews. WHY IS THAT??? What do both of those arrogant a-holes have in common??? Rational, reasonable people realize both are hacks who hate everything Bush or even remotely Bush related. When has Olbermann EVER had a so called analyst on his program that doesn't wholly agree with him?
Sorry, the only truth problem is on your side of the aisle...
No, nothing is beyond the Olbyloons. They preach to others about ethics but they don't have an ethical fiber in their being.
And their attacks on me tonight clearly indicate that they know Olbermann bit the big one tonight in his comments which tried to demean the deaths of the college students in Virginia. But they will do anything to distract criticisim away from him and on to anything else they can possibly think of. Losers one and all.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have an early morning tee time.
The "Worst Person" was the wrong man
Sokoni is not Olby's fan
Countdown's staff of hacks
Don't need no stinkin' facts
Or retractions from Man-On-Fan
Oops, total day is calculated differently.
I am talking about what TVNewser is saying about 25-54 yr old demo. Sorry.
More like early morning pee time.
Brandon, you don't know one damned thing about "you liberals"....just the pathetic stereotypes that have been pushed forth by the Hannity's and Limbaugh's for years.
I too worked my way through school, and I have NEVER received a dime of governmant money in my life, that is, unless you consider my meager Air Force salary a government 'handout'
The big difference between people like you and real liberals is that we actually CARE about things other than our own personal wealth. We actually CARE when a president is literally leading our country over a cliff. We actually CARE about that fellow down the street who just lost eveything he owns because of a health disaster that occured through no fault of his own. We actually CARE about those individual soldiers who are dying every day in a mindless war that should have never been entered into...and the outcome is going to be that same, no matter how many more soldiers we sacrifice in a vain attempt to try to save Bush's legacy.
Yea Brandon...we actually care!
Mike: Welfare is the least offensive government program. Brandon is silly.
I see ratings have been posted several more times, and no one but me has mentioned that OLbermann's show had over 1,000,000 last night.
Yes, I know everyone was up, but it is still dishonest to keep implying that the 525,000 figure you keep posting pertains to olbermanns' show.
What's wrong with the complete truth for a change?
Brandon,
You tried to imply you were a military man and had to deny when called on it. No one believes your lies about being rich. You've brought it up before without being prompted. Rich people aren't as jealous and desperate to be recognized as being rich as you are. You're a fake. Have fun at your BK job.
Actually Colbert, I'm perfectly willing to believe Brandon's boasting story about his wealth. He's might be the only one here who doesn't understand how shallow it exposed him to be....whether or not he is lying about it!
Sharon,
You're right. I can't imagine any conservative wanting Roe overturned. What a shocking concept. What idiot could ever think conservatives are against abortion?
Colbert,
Very few conservatives will outright campaign for overturning Roe v. Wade. That means no exceptions to abortions. Believe it or not, John Murtha is pro-life.
Yea Brandon...we actually care!

Oh, yeah...the fraternity-faculty meeting in Animal House. I thought I remember that scene.
Obama, I respect you a lot even though we have disagreed about some things.
You may be the only one here who is willing to criticize BOTH sides, and call it as you see it, regardless of who it offends.
Thanks for being honest!
Colbert,
Isn't there dignity in every legitimate job? What is wrong with someone flipping burgers at B.K.? Someone has to do it, at least until we reach the age of total robotics. Then I guess the programmers of the B.K. flippers will be ridiculed. What if Brandon did flip burgers for a living? Then it would be "Aha! Just like I thought!" How do you treat workers when you go to the grocery store or the gas station attendant taking your money? Do you accuse them of watching Fox Noise?
I would hate to take a time out from the Brandon bashing, but Keith Olbermann has another a bad journalism alarm that he needs credit for:
After all we know about the perpetrator --- very little conversation about him --- really sad that he would take the story just for the political angles primarily ...
Just for you Mike- "The Complete Truth":
Olberman is constantly DEAD LAST in the ratings. Spin it all you want, but he comes in BEHIND re-runs of Deal or No Deal!
Mike, you can't HANDLE the truth.
Thanks for the humor Cecelia. Did you see that you were referenced in the first post today by LMAO (who mysteriously has not posted again). You're a lifer here, in case you didn't know : )
5.) Free time. Lots and lots of free time. When you don’t have command of the English language, the ability to type, the ability to debate, critical thinking skills, or a conscious, well you’d better have lots and lots of free time, because this ain’t gonna be easy. I’d like to give them an ‘A’ for effort, but working hard and dumb is so much less effective than working smart. Keep trying guys, you have plenty of time to get it right-about 4 more years to be exact.

lmao, oh non original one, It looks like you have a lot of free time, yourself tom make the longest post of the week, by far. We know that wasn't off the top of your "head" either. Does your boss know you spent all day working on that pointless post?
Mike, it's me Mike B... I hate to do this, but I'm going bitch slap you... not literally, but figuratively.
Who are the liberal mouth pieces of this country? Olbermann is simply a facilitator. However, the Babs Streisand's, George Clooney's... The brilliant Sean Penn...No wait, GWENETH PALTROW.. She is geo-political genius!!! GENIUS!!! And let us not forget Rosie O... She has SUCH a grasp of world politics it continually amazes me why she never pursued a career in Washington DC...
Okay, I'm now switching off the sarcasm..
Here is why YOU liberals and said liberals listed above are dangerous.
1) Liberals are appeasers. You and your ilk believe America is the bad guy. The idiot celebs listed above are what I call Internationalists... They are ex-patriots living in London or have villa's in the south of France that they frequent 6 months a year.. Hence, they bad mouth their country and claim to be enlightened. Why is Europe regularly trampled? Why has France needed the USA's help in EVERY WORLD WAR of the 20th century???
2) liberals are true hypocrites. They tell you to reduce your "carbon footprint"... yet they buy bullsh-t "carbon offsets" so they can fly in their private jets and travel via limos... It is TOTAL bs... You either EMIT the co2 gas or you don't. Just because you do doesn't mean you can "buy" credits from someone who is driving the Prius and planting trees... Typical liberal double standards...
3) They are elitists... They wouldn't give you the time of day or cross the street to dowse you with their bottles of evian if you were burning on the sidewalk. Liberals think anyone who loves their country is a "redneck" and stupid. Liberals believe they are BETTER than everyone else and the rest of us are too stupid to make the right decisions. In fact, if liberals had it their way, voting would be restricted.
You see Mike, bottomline, liberals spit in the face of everything they espouse....Rosie claims "The Thought police are coming".. Yet she shouts down and bullies Elizabeth H. because she doesnt' agree with her. Liberals rail one fo their own, Imus, yet call the President the most vile things any President has ever been called.
Wake up...
Has anyone started a pool as to when and from which loon post the first accusation will appear that the tragedy at Virginia Tech was Bush plot to ensure that the testimony of Gonzalez delayed? Haven't seen it yet, but its just a matter of time.
Response from Mike:
"Crickets... more crickets... crickets..."
