Yesterday's knock-down, no-holds-barred confrontation between Bill O'Reilly and Geraldo Rivera tops today's cable news buzz. What will the infamous, deplorable Keith Olbermann do? Will he use the deaths of two teenagers to take another shot at the eeevil O'Reilly? Will he bash both Mr Bill and Geraldo? Will he ignore it altogether? Use our valuable bandwidth for your comments and predictions.

You can read the transcript of the heated exchange, but the video is a lot more fun:

Vegas puts the Over/Under of uses of the term "Fox Noise" at 8 for the Hour of Spin.

Keith Olbermann and O'Reilly attacks go together like hippies and B.O.

Would KO really want touch this?..it would be a reminder once again how he avoids opposing viewpoints on his show.

By Little Feechie on April 6, 2007 3:43 PM

Bill is a shoe-in for WPITW on Olbyplanet tonight...we may even get the music lowered and a couple of pivots from Olbermoron.....

Since I'm feeling lucky and predicted the last Crystal Ball of Spin, he will eating up this story like the publicity-seeking-ratings-starved dog that he is.

Teenage deaths will not stop the man who, without blinking, inserted himself into the cancer stories of Tony Snow & Elizabeth Edwards when giving them "shout outs" on his show.

By Save the Cats! on April 6, 2007 3:54 PM

EXTRA! EXTRA! This just in:
From THE BIG SHOW on ESPN with Dan Patrick:
Olbermann just announced he WILL be covering this story on Countdown tonight!

OH JOY!

By Little Feechie on April 6, 2007 3:56 PM

That was quite a piece of video...

They are lucky no one flat lined...

I SEE MY LOYAL Bush Supporters ARE EXHAUSTED BUT STILL FIERCELY STUPID.

LET ME HELP YA HERE:

DICK - Repeating non-existent links between Saddam and Al-Queda:

TODAY'S WPITW!!!

YOU MAY START TO SPIN BUT WITHOUT MENTIONING YOUR MASTER BILLDO.

GO Bush Supporters!

There's no way he would pass on this donnybrook. Unfortunately, Oblivious Olby doesn't realize that this indeed does highlight the fact that he's too limp to present more than one viewpoint on his propaganda hour. Has Olby been given a timeslot on Iran State TV yet? He would find a way to screw that up as well, despite his high numbers in the Islamofascist and terrorist demos.

Keith Olbermann will use most of Countdown to No Ratings to blast O'Reilly. He will also take a shot at Chaney and Patriot Rush Limbaugh for dissing Hezbollah Nancy. Chaney will also get a Worse nod for linking Iraq and Al-Qaida again but WPITW nod will of defiantly go to Bill O'Reilly. We will also see another lie tonight about O'Reilly and Keith will cut up the interview with Geraldo worse than Ron Popeal cuts up tomatoes. You will see no mention of the illegal immigrant. He will be changed to "migrant worker". Olbermann will also delete the "migrant workers" prior arrest history

Just Posted at the NEWS HOLE: (Keith's blog):

BREAKING: CHOO-CHOO OFF TRACKS IN BILLO TOWN : Mark this date on your calendars as the day Bill O'Reilly finally turned into Morton Downey Jr. It's just a shame he'd use a grieving family as pawns in his mad crusade/ratings ploy.

WARNING: Video clip contains loud and angry screaming, near violence and rampant xenophobia.

Sadly, about 15,000 people die each year as a result of alcohol related car crashes on American roads. The vast majority of drunk drivers are caucasian males. Geraldo is right, this is not an illegal immigration issue.

Update: Ray Tranchant (father of the victim) said of O'Reilly, "We need to heal, and to bring immigration, that's disrespectful to a family who's just mourning."

EL BILLDO WILL NOT BE MOCKED AGAIN TONIGHT!!

BESIDES, WHAT'S MORE IMPORTANT
The Outraged Sanctimony of BILLDO?

You act as if Olbermann is a soley a left wing propaganda pusher. He is also a ratings wh@$ and an ego manic. He can't let O'Reilly grab headlines without inserting himself into the mix.


By Outraged Sanctimonious Billdo on April 6, 2007 4:38 PM

EL BILLDO ONLY SPEAKS FOR EL BILLDO, AND DOESN'T RESPOND TO PERSONAL ATTACKS.

EVEN WITHOUT HE WHO SHALL REMAIN NAMELESS, EL BILLDO IS STILL EL BILLDO,
AND YOU Bush Supporters SHALL REMAIN Bush Supporters.

AND THAT'S A MEMO.

By Save the Cats! on April 6, 2007 4:40 PM

I would say Olbermann is creaming himself over this one. In his mind this will be one hell of a ratings surge. Lets take some bets that this will continue next week.

I preDICK that this will become a "Special Comment" and he will talk about a "close" friend/family member who was killed/injured by a drunk driver.

I know this sounds cruel, but welcome to the world of Olbermann, a pure ratings whore.

By JohnS on April 6, 2007 5:39 PM

I'm going to make a prediction that has nothing to do with the O'Reilly/Rivera dustup. Remember two days ago when John Derbyshire got "worse" for his comments related to the Brits captured by Iran? Today Ralph Peters wrote a column in the same vein. Peters will make the list tonight. If I'm right, KO will have attacked Derbyshire one day, ignored MSNBC's Jack Jacobs the next, and gone after Peters on the third. All for the same thing.

By Katy Turic on April 6, 2007 5:51 PM

Countdown's like a Fox second feed
O'Reilly and Idol they need
More video from Fox
Keith is sniffing Bill's jocks
And basking where the big dogs have peed

By Great Thanks on April 6, 2007 6:02 PM

Well a few months ago he bellowed that O'Reilly should be fired for saying something. Then, when he lied (again) about something O'Reilly said about the immigrants dying in the fire, he said "Bill O'Reilly has left the human race." So, tonight should be something really exceptional about Bill.

By DUGUN on April 6, 2007 6:02 PM

I predict KO has recorded BO and GR's debate, locked it on the TiVo, for future use when pleasuring himself. Hey OSB a man crush is a man cursh and KO has a big one...crush that is......at least that is what I have heard.

Firday, April 5, 2007
WASHINGTON (AP) - The top aide to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales abruptly quit on Friday, almost two weeks after telling Congress she would not testify about her role in the firings of federal prosecutors.

Sir Olbermann will be in Olbydrive tonight. I wonder which gets more air time, this or the "more important story" of Bill-O verses Gerald-O.

BTW: in case people think I actually think that O verses O is the "more important story"--I DONT, its called sarcasm.


By Cato Freeman on April 6, 2007 7:02 PM

I predict that KO will suggest that Bill-O and Geraldo kill each other so long as he stays out of it.

By Anonymous on April 6, 2007 7:32 PM

NEW YORK - Bill O'Reilly and Geraldo Rivera said Friday there were no hard feelings after they engaged in a shouting match unusual even for a cable opinion program where the volume is frequently set to loud.

No chairs flew and no noses were broken. But the finger-pointing verbal duel over illegal immigration on Fox News Channel's "The O'Reilly Factor" Thursday night became a water-cooler topic the next day.

One Word: Staged

By Brandon on April 6, 2007 7:34 PM

Staged. You mean like Olby's "Special Comments"?

By Anonymous on April 6, 2007 7:36 PM

I want to see Keith Anally's spin on the Brit soldiers' accounts of their treatment at the hands of his Olbypals in Tehran. I have a feeling we'll be waiting until the cows come home, but you never know. It could be a story that his producers make him do.

By johnny dollar on April 6, 2007 7:38 PM

> Brit soldiers' accounts of their treatment at the hands of his Olbypals in Tehran

I've already written that into the dogs that did not bark section. You'd be surprised how easy that is to work up before The Hour of Spin even airs!

zactly. Ulbermahn could only dream of being half as animated as O'Reilly.

By captain igor on April 6, 2007 7:55 PM

I predict that little Bobby CoxSucker will be caught jacking off to a photoshopped pic of Olby inserted into the painting (on velvet) of the "Dogs Playing Poker" before the first commercial break on tonight's Countdown.
