============================
4th in the beloved, all important coveted "key demo" for Olby? The blue bloggers are mobilizing. Olbersturmfuhrer is in full force tonight. Cheney, O'Reilly attacks, the Perfessor, creepy Musto on Paris Hilton (read: misogynist), we had a crazy show tonight!
Who pressed for "illegal" wiretappings? Who told the Justice Department they were wrong to object? Who precipitated for the "mass resignation" at that Department? Cue penis joke: Thanks Dick! ha! Who is trying to get habeas corpus back? Specter and Leahy. Lute hearings. Clip of funny. O'Reilly "slammed" by a judge. "Bill-O" targeted the judge. Slandering an innocent man. Blah blah blah. Paris Hilton attacks. All that and more! This reporter was spun like a record this hour.
#5: Der Fuhrer has a somewhat husky voice this evening. Something about Fred Thompson being compared to Dick Cheney. Olbermann's joke is lost on me. Cheney is playing a lawyer and is an actor? Ooo funny one. Olbermahn goes on and on about evidence of proving nothing. He still can't prove anything was illegal - he just doesn't like why it was done. Ok fine. But this is a hard news program, right? Enter Howard Fineman and that hardball from Olby. "Do these events not show the amazing power an old Washington power like Vice President Cheney has...?" WHOAH! Ease up there buddy. We don't want to hurt our poor guest like Bill-O does. In a profound fashion, Fineman agrees. Blabbing about Cheney and going over to see "poor old Ashcroft" in the hospital. Wasn't Keith criticising them for seeing Ashcroft in the hospital? He lets a snarky comment about a guy who was IN THE HOSPITAL go by? Amazing. They go on for some ten minutes about the Vice President. Never doubt an Olbsession. Fineman makes funnies using pop culture references. Great Thanks.
The President and the REPUBLICAN Congress "pushed through" the military tribunal commission act. Keith, acting as if HE'S a lawyer (even though last time I checked), he's not, states that everyone is guaranteed habeas corpus. Really Keith? Really? When did you become a constitutional lawyer? I think I should start a show and make fun of you. Oh wait, I'm here! Enter the Perfessor with some weird burn or really bad make up. Perfessor takes lobs from Olby about habeas corpus being the foundation of the Republican. Cue attacks on nuts like Sam Brownback (R). Keith ponders if it's understandable if "scared" Americans are feeling ok with the revocation of habeas corpus. The Constitution was designed to be "idiot proof." Hint Hint - Clue Clue. Since Keith won't admit he's really not a lawyer, he has his sock puppet and brain. The perfessor goes lengthy spiel. Fat Ass wonders why people don't get more fired up about Habeas Corpus. Maybe because no AMERICANS are being denied Habeas Corpus Olby? Nah. Ah, FINALLY, he mentions not being an American citizen. What does that mean? Nothing really. Everyone gets it. Great Thanks.
#4: Iraq. "War Czar." Gen. Lute has his doubts about the surge. No clips of an opposing "hopes" per the surge. One nameless General calling the results of the surge "mixed." Craig Crawford chimes in but decides not to be a parrot. Are Republicans going to break with the President and make it official instead of whispers? Hm. Don't know of the whisper campaign. I know what people say. Irrelevant. Ok, maybe he'll play with Olby a little bit. More inconsequential speculation. If there were something interesting to say here, I'd tell you. You'd be better off watching plaster crack.
Oddball: Funny masks people wear at the beach of G-8 leaders. People protesting the summit getting hosed down. Boat ride aka more protesters being sought by the police. O'Reilly attacks of essentially nearly taking a man's life. Michael Musto is coming to talk about Paris: yay!
News Makers: Some guy with a chainsaw. Someone staring at a police dog and making faces at it. Mayor in Illinois makes appearance in the bark of a tree who is since deceased.
#3: Uh oh. Here it comes. The big bad story about the eeeeeeeeeevil O'Reilly. Keith, never one to do his own research, found this story from here. Jabba makes several slanderous statements about O'Reilly until finally playing a clip from 2002 of O'Reilly actually QUESTIONING his guest to make sure he is ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that the Judge told a rape victim to "get over it." The Boston Herald reporter confirms this. What is O'Reilly supposed to do? Waterboard him? We know that doesn't work on OlbyPlanet and is illegal. Nevertheless, O'Reilly is responsible for the Judge's near death experience. Apparently, Mr. Wedge (the reporter) is not responsible for his comments, O'REILLY IS. Because he appeared on his show to be questioned. Something Adam's Apple Olbermann would never do. The Judge's lawyer shows up. Keithy asks if O'Reilly bears as much responsibility as Wedge and why wasn't O'Reilly pursued? Well, they simply didn't have any evidence to do so because the lawyer actually admits that the statements came from the paper and the reporter, not O'Reilly. No matter, this is a huge story. Did O'Reilly apologize? No. On and on and on asking questions about O'Reilly, not the reporter Wedge. Why? Because Olby is desperate for anything to take down the man that clobbers him 3-1 nearly nightly in the overall and perhaps the beloved demo! Is critcizing a judge borderline reckless endangerment? OlbyPlanet it is.
Sound bites: Pat Buchanan on Paris. Seniors of Summer. Football fanatics.
#2: Bob Barker retirement. Regurgitated HQ video.
Keeping Tabs: Britney, Akon (four days late) throwing a kid off a stage. More teasing of Michael Musto's appearance.
#1: The creeeeeepy Michael Musto on Paris Hilton. "First she's in, then she's out, then she's in again. This must sound awfully familiar." hehehehe. Sex joke. Oh Keith, you're so bad. Musto speculates whether or not her herpes have spread to her brain. Edward R. Olbermann finds that funny too. Musto tells us he went to an Ivy League school. Great for you. Great Thanks.
In the Media Matters minute, some Police Department, thank you Keith for that. The Silver: Joe Lieberman. A former (D) so it's OK to criticize him. Blue Blog Source. Gold: Can you guess? Can you contain yourself? Wait for it.....wait for it......BILL ORALLY. Guess the source? Media Matters. Because he called Cindy Sheehan a coward for not appearing on his show. I dare say Olbermahn is a coward for not having a dissenting point of view.
Olbermann's book The book that bears Olbermann's name crash landed at #2,504 on amazon.com (necessitating a 80% off sale - ha! HA!), but "Culture Warrior" is #280. (It's that 2-for-$25 sale!) You can have it for $4.59 - ha!. The OlbyTome didn't rank as usual; O'Reilly's book is #1,402 there, and is one of the top five books of 2006 per Publishers Weekly. Wednesday's Hour of Spin managed a dismal, humiliating and blogger lacking third place finish in total viewers coupled with a kick out the door of fourth in that "money demo" Olbsession. Fourth Place. No really, I mean it, HE'S GOT SECOND GUYS. Tonight's MisterMeter reading: 5 [GUARDED]
I don't recall O'Reilly ever calling Cindy Sheehan a "coward" for not appearing on his show but I guess the truth doesn't matter to Olby. BTW, why wasn't Paris Hilton nominated for WPITW???
No one does it like Johnny D. No sense in even reading this!
I may be the only person in the world who doesn't know this, but who is McClatchy and where does his work appear?
Grammie
Misogynist is not a good read of Musto. Gay (probably) would be a better guess. And, Musto dishes Hollywood dirt for a living. Gossip, you know. If Paris doesn't deserve some slicing and dicing from Musto - nobody does.
I agree J-$ is the best but I thought ESchatz did a good job with this one.
Seriously, does Keith Olbermann (D) ever put anyone that is not a republican in his "Worst Person in The World" segment??? This guy is out of control..... gonna throw up........too much spin......gonna throw up......too much spin!
I agree J-$ is the best but I thought ESchatz did a good job with this one.

I agree. Good job, Edward!
Keith was really grasping for straws to blame Orally for wrecking judge Murphy's life. True, he gave that dumbass reporter the forum, but he did ask the guy to swear that he had heard the judge utter those words, and the guy did! That lawyer was looking mighty uncomfortable with it, too.
It gets even better. Olbermann edited the O'Reilly tape to LEAVE OUT the part where O'Reilly also gave the Judge's side and read the Judge's statement where he denied making the comment. Now why do you suppose Edward R Olbermann made that edit?
Maybe, Johnny, some of KO's fans here can tell us why the real Edward R Murrow would have done it exactly the same way.
Whatcha think?
Grammie
Krazy Keith must be hitting the bong
Blames O'Reilly for all that is wrong
Keith, put down the weed
Worst Person indeed
Every night it's the same tired song
Should have watched Bill O'Reilly last night. He was talking about (unnamed) media commentators who were in the tank for the radical left. He said that K-A-R-M-A would deal with them. Take that Bathtub Boy!
Hey Olby, you know why:
1. They didn't name O'Reilly in the civil suit against that POS judge because hey had no case.
2. Cheney didn't have anything to do with Halliburton and Halliburton has broken no laws.
3. Libby is going to jail (I doubt it) because a faulty memory. Cheney, Rove and GW did nothing wrong.
4. Cheney and GW's ties with Big Oil are a myth, cough, cough, bold face lie.
5. The highest the prisoner abuse went at Abu Grhaib was that stupid woman general Kapinski and an Animal House crew. They have nothing on GW and Cheney.
6. Gitmo prisoner abuse. All I can say is they should be glad I'm not running that prison.
7. GW is just smater than a liberal but that aint saying much because liberals are stupid.
gw,
Haliburton has broken laws, son. Libby is going to jail for perjury. Haliburton while employing Cheney, not only was involved with big oil, but sold oil equipment to Saddam's Iraq AFTER the first Gulf War.
As for your running Gitmo, I doubt that you could...even poorly, son.
Bush is an idiot who cannot field even the simplest unrehearse questions...
How about Gonzalez? Well Keithy and the moron idiots that hang off Olby's nuts like ornaments on a Christmas tree? Hum? Seems to me Roberto aint going nowhere. Bush stands by his people. It's all about intergrity and being a man. Look at some liberal that gets in trouble. William Jefferson is hanging on with his teeth and finger nails. They'll have to drag his ass out kicking and squalling. Then you have the morons that voted him back in office. Hum? The same idiots that voted for this criminal testified at a senate hearing on Katrina claiming GW blew up the levees. The same morons that voted Nagin back in office.
gw talks a lot about men's testicles. I think that he's trying to use these boards to pick up men. For shame, gw!
Here's something he said yesterday: " I do only post at lunch."...
...I guess he eats an early five hour lunch, eh folks?
"Bush is an idiot who cannot field even the simplest unrehearse questions..."
Yet he debated publicly and people voted for him, twice!
Bush lost the first election. Judging from the transmitter he was wearing for the Kerry debate, he cheated in the second set of debates...
Too easy...
I defy anyone in America who can tell me they are entertained by anything Michael Musto has to say
blindrat, was that really you posting at 11:05AM, ma'am.....or was it a troll trying to make you look bad.....
Bush lost the first election?
Transmitter?
Really? You believe this?
cee,
That was me. I can prove the first statement (again); the second is simply inferred due to the fact that is was obvious that he was wearing something under his jacket and couldn't explain what it was...
Olby the constitutional lawyer bumbled throuh the dates on his habeus corpus spiel; his little tombstone showed "birth date" of 1789 while he stammered "1787" when decrying its self-professed demise (too bad they can't throw Olby in a dark hole forever).
Consisentency must be the hobgoblin of little minds in Olby-land.
Hey Olby, constitution became effective in 1789. Yes, one could consider habeus corpus as conceived in 1787 when drafting was completed, but what good liberal would consider conception equal to life?
Until a constitution is ratified, son, it is just a piece of paper with a lot of writing on it...
Geez, Olbermann is getting hammered by his own fans at the Newshole blog, (about the Bill-O & Paris stories). I'm kind of surprised the blog staff is allowing the comments. Maybe he doesn't read his own blog comments, and doesn't know whats going on. Not surprising though, he rarely blogs himself, (he managed a few baseball stories there--one being his fantasy league picks) what's that tag line for MS-NBC..oh, yeah...THIS IS THE PLACE FOR POLITICS.

Well, while reading at Newshole, if you happen upon a response to criticism of Olbermann that says "Go kill yourself", you'll know that Keith Olbermann does indeed read the comments section there...
Cecelia,
You have absolutely no way of knowing that Keith Olbermann wrote a comment telling someone to "Go kill yourself". You must retract that statement immediately.
I love it! On the Dan Patrick Show, Olberdouche again whines how his producers are "making him" do the Paris stories. 2 segments tonight! Isn't he the Managing Editor of Countdown?
Well, we can safely assume he reads his Newshole & other fan blog comments now..."my producers make me do it" will calm the Loons. Heaven forbid this tool ever take responsibility for a cable show with his own dam name in the title.
Cecelia, based on Cats and your post I went to TheNewsHole and did a little fun reading.
I came across this:
".......That last segment with Musto again! Did you HAVE to do that???? It's bad enough the WENCH (my caps)got out of jail ........
Tru M., Cleveland, Ohio (Sent Friday, June 08, 2007 7:36 AM)"
I swear I don't think I have ever heard the word used except in either historical or entertainment contexts and here it pops up twice in one week.

I mention a retraction by Newsweek of the Gitmo/koran flushing story in another thread and here you are, Bob, mentioning the word "retraction".
It's amazing the influence I have over you... :D
Keith...Keith....
Getting your ass kicked by Nancy Grace... that has to be a fate almost as worse than getting your ass kicked by Rita Cosby...
Keith...Keith...
Getting your ass kicked by that intellectual lightweight, Paula Zahn.. You have to be seething with anger... Even more so than any other day... I hope MSNBC has an out in that contract...
Keith, I have two words for you: Phil Donahue... Want two more??? Dan Rather... The implosion continues... AND KEITH OLBERMANN IS THE MOST MYOPIC PERSON IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!

Wow! "Wrench" typed on OW and then on Newshole! Only one conclusion we can logically draw as to Tru M's (and dopey's) reading material, Grammie...
(Harlequinn Romances)
Cecelia, I am sure you are right.
At least he is trying to improve himself by reaching up to Harlequinn Romances and not watching KO exclusively.

Um, like usual your lines come from Olby spin. If Waxmann (bwhahahahahahahaha, I hate to talk about people but that boy didn't only get hit with an ugly stick, someone beat the shit out of him with it) or any other committee had something on Cheney or GW they would be going after them. They have nothing because GW and Cheney have done nothing. Yes, it's that simple.
Libby? Don't make me laugh. Olby and all the terrorists living in our country didn't get their pound of flesh (Rove/Cheney). Yall lost. The truth prevailed.

Liberals kill me. You have those that question the existence of God but believe in aliens, Loch Ness monster and Big Foot.
gw,
Want proof that Gore won the election, son? Or do you want to run as usual?...
All I want is credible proof that GWB was wearing a transmitter during one of the debates.
It's not the first time I heard it but it is still a hoot to think that there are people who are so enraged that they will believe anything.
What's the word on who was transmitting to him? Was it aliens from their hovering Mother Ship or just a six pack joe dying through New Mexican who was beamed up and altered for the task. Or was the transmitter a device that allowed a 'mind meld' between Bush and either Cheney or Karl OoOoOoOo Rove?
These are important questions, you know.

I like gw...smells like chicken...
grammie,
It would probably be his handlers. Is that difficult to understand? With your other guesses I would imagine that it would be...

scroll down, grammie
Blindrat, I have to go with poor six pack Joe driving through New Mexico being abducted by aliens. After all, Kerry patted him down (see photo) and didn't divulge anything.
My favorite photo was the only one with a notation that it was verified to not be photo shopped, by whom it didn't say. And in that one I squinted and tried different angles and noticed an amorphous shadow, maybe.
Got to go with six pack Joe.

GB is reamarkable for his utter chauvinism and his love of his double standards. Assuming that some Democrat or liberal personality were defending Jefferson (and I doubt that anyone here could name one such), consistency would require GB to applaud that person for "integrity and being a man".
But no one defends Jefferson. Pelosi is going to remove his last committee assignment this week, and he'll probably get pressured out of congress entirely by his own party. Air America Radio laughs at the squallor of his case, and demands he be forced out of office. What Republican or Fox News asshole ever said anything similar about the vast array of similarly filthy Republicans? Cunningham? DeLay? Libby? Defended uncritically and cried-for across the right wing.
I really ca't belie
er....I really can't believe GB is for real - he's got to be a hard lefty play-acting
Nancy Grace came in a wild second ! Woooo hoooooo !!!
Hey, Whatsizname, let me repeat for you the link to the evidence, a gallery of annotated photos and commentary supplied by your compadre, Blindrat. It is:

You will notice one of the photos, BTW there are photos from many other places and times, of Kerry and GWB shaking hands and Kerry has his hand and arm right across GWB's back with the legend that Kerry was patting him down or something to that effect.
The events (there are photos from ALL THREE debates with the 'Buuuulge') are past but there is that photo with Kerry checking it out. Perhaps you should attempt to inform yourself before accusing others of being ill informed.
You seem awfully cranky today. Might I suggest some cookies and juice followed by a nice nap. It is my experience that that works wonders for out of sorts cranky little boys.
Grammie
PS If you do go to Blindrats' URL I suggest you use the 'find feature' because it is a long way to this particular conspiracy theory at that site.
While doing a little browsing Grammie just noticed that Whatsizname was already beyond the out of sorts cranky little boy stage into that inevitable potty mouthed little boy stage.
No doubt he just thinks he learned that calling little girls and grown up girls 'bitch' makes him the Rambo of the playground. Real big time 'He Man' stuff.
No doubt he will outgrow that stage and realize that being a MAN is infinitely more than gratuitous insults to women.
Or, I least I hope he will. In his case the verdict is still out.
Grammie
Whatizname, you are a prolific little bee, aren't you? Your interminably long screeds are popping up in multiple sites.
Yet I notice that while you have a tendency, or perhaps even a compulsion, to spew your opinions you absolutely never answer anything that questions you.
I'll put it down to the undeniable fact that you don't have a clue how to defend your rants other than hurling childish insults.
Poor little Whatizname.

All "Name" can do is post "news" articles from dubious sources or doesn't bother to list a source at all because they know they'll be called out on their BS by one of us clear-thinkers.

Brandon just can't give himself enough credit for all that 'clear thinking' he does.
Clear down to his ass maybe...
Let's review shall we? Olbyloon posts an unsourced article that traces back to your typical leftist conspiracy theory blog. You people believe that 9/11 was an inside job, that WTC 7 was imploded, there are no terrorists and Osama Bin Laden is one hell of a great guy. You think that Olbermann is a real journalist and that there's a great conspiracy to "silence" voice of opposition, yeah, on Olby's show absolutely, that much I'll agree with you. But as long as you persist in believing these delusional fantasies and keep quoting dubious "sources" such as that OPINION piece above, yeah, I'm a clear-thinker and you're just a conspiracy theorist/idiot/Olbyloon.
