Host: Keith Olbermann
Topics/Guests:
The discredited sports guy is back! He bellowed the opening spiel at maximum decibel levels: "the walls close in" on Gonzo, another uproarious "Fox Noise" reference, fraud in Iraq, yetta nother attack on Fox, the Simpsons movie... Geez, this is like deja vu all over again. It's Groundhog Day at Olbermann Watch.
#5: "Gonzo-gate". Impeachment! Lies! Resign! Perjury! Olby cites a New York Times editorial (keep that in mind!). "Fox Noise" (a knee-slapper that never gets old)! Lefty Alter was the chosen sock-puppet: "Gonzo is gone-zo". He'll be forced to resign. On-screen graphic: "The Lies That Bind". Cue Moore. On-screen graphic" Bush's Babysitter". What, are they giving "water boy" a rest? Great thanks. Oh, and Ted Stevens (R) had his house raided by the FBI. All the raids and searches and siezures of William Jefferson (D) were ignored on OlbyPlanet. Try to guess why. Update on Chief Justice Roberts.
#4: Iraq: the Politics of War. The Wolffe Man simpered that the British government really wants Hillary Clinton to be President. Maliki and Petraeus feuding. The Brookings Institution op-ed in the Times gets shot down by Wolffie as if he knew better than the two guys who just came back from there. That pleased The Great and Powerful Olb, who gave him Great Thanks.
#3: Fox "Noise" again (can't you just imagine Olbermann's giddy cackling every time he saw that line in the script? Well, somebody must find it funny.) Fox shouldn't be called news, it should be called Fox Opinion (Blue Blog Source: DailyKos). Yes, Herr Olbermahn lecturing someone else about the difference between news and opinion. The self-deluded irony could not have been thicker. Graphic: "Faux News". With genius wordplay like this, how could anyone deny that Olby is in fact the next Edward R Murrow? Oh, and don't forget "Fix Noise" is just a propaganda arm for the GOP. You know, like this. And this. Graphic: "The Fix Is In." Great thanks.
#2: Tom Snyder (he and Olby were such good friends, and, oh, Snyder admired Olby's work), Bill Walsh, Bill Robinson, Ingmar Bergman. #1: The Simpsons movie.
It's the most predictable segment of The Hour of Spin: The Media Matters Minute. "Comedian" Rush Limbaugh (Blue Blog Source: Crooks & Liars), and Brit Hume "of Fix Noise" (comedy gold that never gets old! Blue Blog Source: Crooks & Liars) for having the effrontery to utter a criticism of Democrats. By the way, Mr Hume is an "amoral, corrupt, water-carrying hack". [Olbersaurus!] Obviously, it's time for Krazy Keith to look into this.
Dogs that did not bark: The infamous, deplorable Keith Olbermann is notorious for cherry-picking what he reports. We have documented how he will select only the polls that support his spin, sometimes even only the portions of the polls that suit his propaganda purposes. He does the same thing with newspapers. If the New York Times runs an editorial or an op-ed that parrots Herr Olbermann's talking points, you can be sure it will be cited as Big News--or even a "tipping point"--on The Hour of Spin. Just as he will lift stories from them when they serve his agenda. Sometimes Oralmann will not only trumpet the importance of the Timesarticle, he will even interview the author to drive the point home further. But then, there are the New York Times op-eds that don't quite sit well with the exalted ruler of OlbyPlanet. Like this one, penned by two long-time critics of the Iraq war. And you will not be surprised to learn that it was not greeted with the same eager adoration as all of the above examples. In fact, Edward R Olbermahn didn't report on the substance of the piece at all. Other than a dismissive comment from The Wolffe Man, Olby handled this story by ignoring it, and simply making the author one of tonight's "worst persons"--problem solved! (Blue Blog Sources: Eschaton and Carpetbagger Report)
Olbermann's book The book that bears Olbermann's name circles the drawn at #33,392 at amazon.com, while "Culture Warrior" is #2,060. (It's that 2-for-$25 sale!) The OlbyTome remains mired below the ranking radar at Barnes & Noble; O'Reilly's book is #1,404 there, and is one of the top five books of 2006 per Publishers Weekly. On Friday, Dan Olbermoronn continued his "lock on second place" as The O'Malkin Factor crushed him once again, and poor Olby finished a miserable third in the coveted, all-important, much-beloved, critical "key demo". Tonight's MisterMeter reading: 6 [ELEVATED]
Seriously, that was the MOST predictable Media Matters minute I have ever seen. The Olbsession with "Fixed Noise" (hilarious variant on "Fox Noise") is reaching a borderline paranoid delusion
>Fox shouldn't be called news, it should be called Fox Opinion...
...Source?
DailyKos!!! Now THAT'S funny.
Moron paranoid Clintonwipes
The Bush administration has over four years lost essentially all credibility. Yet now the administration's critics, in part as a result, seem unaware of the significant changes taking place.
Here is the most important thing Americans need to understand: We are finally getting somewhere in Iraq, at least in military terms. As two analysts who have harshly criticized the Bush administration's miserable handling of Iraq, we were surprised by the gains we saw and the potential to produce not necessarily "victory" but a sustainable stability that both we and the Iraqis could live with.
After the furnace-like heat, the first thing you notice when you land in Baghdad is the morale of our troops...Today, morale is high. The soldiers and marines told us they feel that they now have a superb commander in Gen. David Petraeus; they are confident in his strategy, they see real results, and they feel now they have the numbers needed to make a real difference.
And, the numbers speak for themselves:
[C]ivilian fatality rates are down roughly a third since the surge began - though they remain very high, underscoring how much more still needs to be done.
[...]
[T]hings look much better than before. American advisers told us that many of the corrupt and sectarian Iraqi commanders who once infested the force have been removed. The American high command assesses that more than three-quarters of the Iraqi Army battalion commanders in Baghdad are now reliable partners (at least for as long as American forces remain in Iraq).
In war, sometimes it's important to pick the right adversary, and in Iraq we seem to have done so. A major factor in the sudden change in American fortunes has been the outpouring of popular animus against Al Qaeda and other Salafist groups, as well as (to a lesser extent) against Moktada al-Sadr's Mahdi Army.
These groups have tried to impose Shariah law, brutalized average Iraqis to keep them in line, killed important local leaders and seized young women to marry off to their loyalists. The result has been that in the last six months Iraqis have begun to turn on the extremists and turn to the Americans for security and help. The most important and best-known example of this is in Anbar Province, which in less than six months has gone from the worst part of Iraq to the best (outside the Kurdish areas). Today the Sunni sheiks there are close to crippling Al Qaeda and its Salafist allies. Just a few months ago, American marines were fighting for every yard of Ramadi; last week we strolled down its streets without body armor.
How much longer should American troops keep fighting and dying to build a new Iraq while Iraqi leaders fail to do their part? And how much longer can we wear down our forces in this mission? These haunting questions underscore the reality that the surge cannot go on forever. But there is enough good happening on the battlefields of Iraq today that Congress should plan on sustaining the effort at least into 2008.
Even the stone hearted Marxist at the Brookings institute and the New York Slimes think the surge is working. Do their memberships in the zombie nation get revoked?
Has KO ever had an original thought in his head?
If he did it would die of boredom.
Tacky, thoughtless Olby uses the sad occasion of the deaths of two famous people to make himself the focus of the stories of their passing. Our pal even brought out decade-old videotape of Tom Snyder complimenting him (which probably came from Olby's own vanity collection). Olby knows absolutely no shame.
Why hasn't Olbermann defended the Koran burning?
Although the call was rejected, aides to both men admit that Mr Maliki and Gen David Petraeus engage in frequent stand-up shouting matches, differing particularly over the US general's moves to arm Sunni tribesmen to fight al-Qa'eda.
One Iraqi source said Mr Maliki used a video conference with Mr Bush to call for the general's signature strategy to be scrapped. "He told Bush that if Petraeus continues, he would arm Shia militias," said the official. "Bush told Maliki to calm down."
At another meeting with Gen Petraeus, Mr Maliki said: "I can't deal with you any more. I will ask for someone else to replace you."

Leave it to Olby to somehow find a way to interject himself into a story and pull a quote out of a dead man that just so happened to compliment him. Could he get any tackier?
I actually watch a little MSDNC this weekend. They had a "To Catch a Predator" marathon on and I wanted to watch a few of the shows before the ACLU shuts down their sting operation.
MSDNC seemed to advertise Olbermann’s show as a comedy show. All it showed was a parody of a robot anchorman with a pictured of Olbermann smiling like a jackass. Then there was Olbermann trying to feed off the Simpson Movie hype. For someone who doesn't know Olbermann, IE 99.98% of the county, they might think he is a Jay Leno comedy host. Why doesn't MSDNC have the courage to show Olbermann accusing the president of murdering Pat Tillman? Why doesn’t MSDNC have the courage to show Olbermann calling for the impeachment of George Bush?

So die-hard neocon flack Kenneth Pollack is a "Stone-hearted Marxist"? I hear he and Krauthammer sing "the Internationale" together in the broom closets of the "Gray Lady".
Of course it's so predictable what Olby will say and do and even what his mannerisms will be but I'm STILL amazed that he STILL continues on promoting (yes, that's the right word!) Bill O Reilly and FOX NEWS. I guess I come from a different world of advertising and promotion where it was almost against the law to even acknowledge that another organization exists. I know people who are opposed to what I'm saying will come back with the argument that everyone knows there is a FOX and a Bill O Reilly and just by mentioning them nightly doesn't really promote them but I hate to tell all you libs out there that it ACTUALLY DOES in the sense that there will be people who will turn the channel to the other station to see what Olby is talking about as of course Billo is on at the same time. And to take the cahnce that someone will actually do this and actually find the other programming more interesting (whichit is!) wouldn't be worth it to me. I don't have the time to go into all of this but when I was into advertising I proved this to be true TIME AND TIME AGAIN.
FOX couldn't do better than having Olby and MSNBC in general admit they exist. When you're #3 or 4 the best thing to do is to at least pretend you're not in the cellar like MSNBC is.
Can we execute all Faux hosts yet ?
Sir Loin of Beef ,
As a Leftist why aren't you outraged that a Student that used his 1st Amendment Rights to burn a Koran is being charged with a crime?
Sorry Joker. The student should have burned the bible or a pictured of Jesus. Then the ACLU and people like Sir Loin would be in the streets marching for his freedom. Sir Loin wants the infidel beheaded for burning the sacred Koran.

I don't know who this is or where it occurred, but if it happened in the US the ACLU is on his case.
I see the FBI and the IRS conducted a good, old fashioned search of Senator Stevens' ("the internet is a series of tubes")house today. As I recall, he is America's longest-serving Republican Senator. FBI searches, indictments, perp walks, warbling from the Big House, flip-flopping on abortion and almost every other issue, whores at home and in Washington, multiple marriages .... No wonder they call it the Grand Old Party. Almost as much fun to watch as to attend ....
Mr "Bidge to Nowhere" Ted Stevens himself. The same Ted Stevens who literally threw a tantrum on the Senate floor when they first proposed taking it away from him.
Hey Clucker, did anyone ever find that research institute the Captin Jack Murtha was building with our money? But I guess Captin Jack always has been one step ahead of the FBI when taking bribe money. Too bad William Jeffers wasn't.
Your right Clucker. Democrats make much better criminals than Republicans.
I don't know which party is home to the better criminals, I just know that the Republican party is home to more of them. Just last week, the Prophet Karl Rove unveiled majic tablets that said the Republicans would win in 2008 if they stay out of trouble. Maybe that's the strategy, bring charges against all of them in 2007 and hope people forget by 2008. He is truly a genius.

So SLOB has finally admitted he/she reads no newspaper's or watches TV. Take a bath SLOBmann, maybe keithy will join you, and watch even your beloved MSKOS network since it's been "covering" it all day.
Quality recap tonight. I don't know how the hell he gets so much ground covered so quickly...
Wow, anon 10:16 PM and Brandon,
Why do you care about Snyder at all? He's obviously a loon for complimenting Olby, so he deserves to receive the same quality of behavior here other fawners do.
Obviously, Olby's not the only one using a dead man to broadcast their own vanities.
Ted Stevens: "NO!!!"
At least should be encouraging, especially for conservatives:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20032918/
No deal means I won't have to cancel my subscription.
So Olbermann makes a funny reference to himself having a gigantic phallis. Could O'Reilly get away with that? The left that holds Conservatives to a higher standard, especially Olby, would be having a field day.
...And Olby opened calling O'Reilly " 50% Sleaze".
http://preview.tinyurl.com/37orgp
"...And Olby opened calling O'Reilly " 50% Sleaze"."
Incorrigible! So wrong. It's closer to 80 percent.
Let the FCC worry about on-air phallic references.
I worry more about the actual truth being reported by either clown.
O'Reilly is Sleaze. By the way. Does anyone know I can "insert" more dick and fart jokes into my "newscast". I would also like to know what woman I should call a hore today. Everyone who dies likes me. Just remeber that.
Democrats/Liberals would be far more convincing if they weren't such creepy, hateful, lying bastards.
If my name was "Cenk Uygur" I'd be pissed too. HA!
Nah, they still wouldn't be convincing. They would still be morons.
"If my name was "Cenk Uygur" I'd be pissed too. HA!"
Heh... that's actually kinda funny.
Bill O'Reilly. Classy dude. (post #1)
Here's some choice quotes from the case where he was sued for sexual harassment (she had recordings).
Quote: During the course of Defendant BILL O'REILLY's sexual rant, it became clear that he was using a vibrator upon himself, and that he ejaculated.
Quote: When Plaintiff responded that she never engaged in phone sex, Defendant BILL O'REILLY professed disbelief, and told her that the sexual stories he told were all based on his own experiences, such as when he received a massage in a cabana in Bali and the "little short brown woman" asked to see his penis and was "amazed." Defendant BILL O'REILLY then suggested that he tell Plaintiff the same sexual stories, which he knew she would "just love." Shocked and embarrassed, Plaintiff ANDREA MACKRIS informed Defendant in no uncertain terms that she was never experienced in nor interested in gaining experience in telephone sex. Defendant expressed disbelief.
Quote: If any woman ever breathed a word I'll make her pay so dearly that she'll wish she'd never been born. I'll rake her through the mud, bring up things in her life and make her so miserable that she'll be destroyed. And besides, she wouldn't be able to afford the lawyers I can or endure it financially as long as I can. And nobody would believe her, it'd be her word against mine and who are they going to believe? Me or some unstable woman making outrageous accusations. They'd see her as some psycho, someone unstable. Besides, I'd never make the mistake of picking unstable crazy girls like that.
Quote: If you cross FOX NEWS CHANNEL, it's not just me, it's [FOX President] Roger Ailes who will go after you. I'm the street guy out front making loud noises about the issues, but Ailes operates behind the scenes, strategizes and makes things happen so that one day BAM! The person gets what's coming to them but never sees it coming. Look at Al Franken, one day he's going to get a knock on his door and life as he's known it will change forever. That day will happen, trust me.
Quote: During the course of O'REILLY's telephone monologue on August 2, 2004, he suggested that Plaintiff ANDREA MACKRIS purchase a vibrator and name it, and that he had one "shaped like a cock with a little battery in it" that a woman had given him. It became apparent that Defendant was masturbating as he spoke. After he climaxed, Defendant O'REILLY said to Plaintiff: "I appreciate the fun phone call. You can have fun tonight. I'll appreciate it. I mean it."
Quote: Well, if I took you down there then I'd want to take a shower with you right away, that would be the first thing I'd do ... yeah, we'd check into the room, and we would order up some room service and uh and you'd definitely get two wines into you as quickly as I could get into you I would get 'em into you ... maybe intravenously get those glasses of wine into you...
You would basically be in the shower and then I would come in and I'd join you and you would have your back to me and I would take that little loofa thing and kinda' soap up your back ... rub it all over you, get you to relax, hot water .... and um ... you know, you'd feel the tension drain out of you and uh you still would be with your back to me then I would kinda' put my arm -- it's one of those mitts those loofa mitts you know, so I got my hands in it ... and I would put it around front, kinda' rub your tummy a little bit with it, and then with my other hand I would start to massage your boobs, get your nipples really hard ... 'cuz I like that and you have really spectacular boobs....
So anyway I'd be rubbing your big boobs and getting your nipples really hard, kinda' kissing your neck from behind ... and then I would take the other hand with the falafel (sic) thing and I'd put it on your pussy but you'd have to do it really light, just kind of a tease business...
Hey Keith, Bill O'Reilly actually calls his show an opinion show. On top of your Countdown web page right now it refers to your program as a "newscast". On your "newscast" you have called Republicans terrorists, called President Bush a Nazi, called Attorney General Gonzalez a houseboy, called Homeland Secretary Chertoff a clown, and called Senator Vitter's wife a ho. Perhaps you should be the one who begins advertising your show as opinion.
Oh, and Ted Stevens (R) had his house raided by the FBI. All the raids and searches and siezures of William Jefferson (D) were ignored on OlbyPlanet. Try to guess why. Update on Chief Justice Roberts.
Very telling of Keefy's agenda.
RK,
Sounds like you missed something.
The Jefferson story was covered, twice that I can recall, in late May, on Olby's show:
May 24: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12971702/
May 30: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13065636/
I am sincerely interested in the health of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. I don't know what American wouldn't, frankly. But your comment seems to suggest that your agenda as overshadowing Olby's.
Just saying you might want to make a quick Google search before posting something as vulnerable as the last post.
Thanks for the "fawning," lmao.
Democrats/Liberals would be far more convincing if they weren't such creepy, hateful, lying bastards.

This makes me laugh, you murderous motherfuckers you. Creepy is looking in the mirror and seeing your incompetant serial killing lover of death you have supported looking back at you and thinking you have something to add to a democracy, besides rolling over for the appointed leaders you love.
The incident at Haditha. We‘ll show you a step-by-step account of the events leading up to and during the alleged murder of Iraqi civilians. What does this mean for those hearts and minds in Iraq and beyond? We‘ll talk to the brother of the murdered Marine whose death allegedly sparked the Haditha killings.

Ignorant, as usual, Monsieur Royale.

A new channel, please.
Might I suggest you read a newspaper or periodical, watch something other than FOX or listen to someone other than Wiener? Then you might be able to talk about something new and relevant. Of course, I know you're too insolent to do so, but one can always hope.
Dear Clucker....Read the transcripts Dick cited.....they are about the congress' reaction to the FBI searches of the congressman's offices....No direct coverage of the actual events was offerred by Keith when they occurred just as a story in and of itself. Olbermann did not report about a Democrat Congressmans accused of taking bribes....unlike his dear Republican counterpart that received an entire NewsHole thread yesterday about his FBI raid.....
Trying to say Keith Olbermann is not a democratic shill is pretty silly, Clucker.... RK was right to say KO never covered the actual raids as a news story in and of itself. Read his post again.
Try holding the accusations of ignorance so that you don't appear to be such an arrogant liar.
And Olbermann's so classy he lures fans into cheap hotel rooms and plies then with even cheaper wine and then doesn't even have the manhood to perform adequately. Oh yeah, in a class contest between O'Reilly & Olby, it seems like a tie at best (worst)?
> The Jefferson story was covered, twice that I can recall, in late May, on Olby's show:
Before that his aide had been arrested. His aide entered a plea deal, admitting to taking part in bribes. Jeff's house was raided by the FBI and marked money was found in a freezer wrapped in foil as if it were lasagna. All that and more was going on in this case and NONE OF IT was reported by Olbermann.
Yes he "covered" it in late May--by mentioning Jeff in order to launch into an attack on Hastert and other (R)s. And your second link is meaningless, since it doen't involve Olbermann at all.
It's clear that Edward R Olbermoronn obviously has a very different standard when it comes to someone with a (D) than someone with an (R).
"I'm politically neutral" - Keith Olbermann
I believe Keith Olbermann's statements about Pat Tillman. While I was in Iraq, I witnessed first hand my fellow officers being shot by the secret service. Their views were different from George Bush and therefore they were executed. It's not a cover up. Everyone knows about it. I can't believe it took you liberals that long to find out. We've known about it for years.
It seems like Keith Olbermann has an obesession with Fox News and with conservatives in general.

Krazy Keith claims his neutrality
But needs a check on reality
His moonbat spew
With no opposing view
Countdown's the home of banality
Olbermutt criticizing Fox for being too opined is like Bill Clinton criticizing men who commit adultery.............VERY HYPOCRITICAL. Bu than again,what do you expect from a psycho far left, biased "news" reporter that is desperate for ratings.
A couple of doofus righties here yesterday were crowing about Gordon Brown's stock diplo-speak regarding Britain's relationship with the US. Here's what your fetish/president had to say in that conversation re: Brown:
"He's a Scotsman, you know, not the dour Scotsman that you described him as or the awkward Scotsman; he's actually the humorous Scotsman."
President "Rainman" thinks kilts are funny.
Doofus Righties?
I think they actually posted quotes from the new Prime Minister. How does that make them doofuses?
Only in your twisted little world, SLOB, are people who cite actual quotes doofuses. Run along little man. This blog is out of your league. Go to DailyKOs where the median IQ is in the high teens.
"President "Rainman" thinks kilts are funny."
What more would you expect from the leader of the New Roman Empire? Now, if the Scots can just keep W's lot on their side of Hadrian's Wall....
I think they actually posted quotes from the new Prime Minister. How does that make them doofuses?
No, that isn't what makes them doofuses. I don't know what "makes" them doofuses - I wish I did so I could help stop it. But their irrational fetishes in regard to blatantly venal and stupid leaders REVEALS them as doofuses.
btw, I'm still trying to parse the claim that Olby made a self-referential phallus comment last night. I note the Oddball piece about the hot-air balloon shaped like a condom with a light double entendre, but little else, certainly nothing worth alerting the FCC about.
As likely as it is I missed the controversial claim, I suspect that it's equally likely that some folks here have a heightened interest in Olby's genitalia. Sick!
Where else in the broadcast should I be looking or has there been a collective reading-between-the-lines over the Oddball segment?
The company I work for handles the mechanicals and electrics for several class A high-rise buildings that are currently undergoing upgrades from 70's technology to new and more efficient. After some consideration we gave contracts to GE competitors based solely on GE permitting MSNBC and Countdown in particular to be so irresponsible. The contracts were many and were in total worth more than 20 times Mr. Olbermanns new contract. We also informed GE that this was the reson even though they were competitive with the other companies in terms of cost and delivery. GE was non too pleased to put it mildly. I can only guess what cumulative effect this may have over time.
Wow Denizen! You work for a company that handles the "mechanicals" and "electrics" to "more efficient".
I think your company would save more money if they'd quit hiring cavemen to post false information, son...
What's the alternative to the current crop of Republicans? A bunch of creepy, hateful, lying bastard Democrats. Codas can't stand it , because it's the truth.
Rat I am not your son. Furthermore you obviously have no concept that a high-rise is like a self contained city. All the equipment that serves to run a building of that type is either mechanical i.e pumps, motors etc. or electrical or a combination of both such as elevator motors. Most of these pieces of vital equipment are being replaced after many years. We even went to Phillips to replace fifty thousand ballast resistors in one building instead of GE. So "son" because it is bad news I guess your only option is the usual weak attempt at discrediting due to your lack of knowledge in terminology you don't seem to grasp.
It is really amazing how anyone who dies is an Olbyloon, what a impressive leftist I hate america spewing dickbag olberman really is

Hey, blindrat; I think this guy must be a freind of "Laura Bush's". They both have very important and highly complicamated jobs.
People who constantly call other people "creepy, hateful, lying, bastards"....are generally creepy, hateful, lying bastards themselves.
Will,
Wow, son...so testy...
I've got a pretty good idea what goes on in buildings of that sort having worked as a facilities engineer for a software firm. Funny how mechanical engineers didn't refer to things like compressors and cooling towers as "mechanicals" and capacitors and relay stations as "electrics"...
Two questions every child wants answered. Why is the sky blue and why is Keith Olbermann such a slimeball?
blindrats fixation on 'son' and 'boy' are indicators of sexual fixation. Scary stuff.
Rat you assumed I was an engineer. First mistake. I handle the decisions on purchasing. I know what a roof top cooling tower is and what all the systems are in relation to a building but I don't get my hands dirty.
Will,
What you mean is that you don't really know what you are doing, son. No purchaser ever made a decision based upon politics or sponsorship when I was in the business...
Of course, back then, America was more successful in business than it is today. Wonder why...
Will,
Don't waste your time. Blindrat is merely diverting the conversation from its point. That point being GE lost business because they don't enforce any journalistic standards for their news operations. Don't fall into his trap. Just smile and nod with his "sons" and "childs" iike you would with someone that you are trying to make go away.
Uh oh. I typed "iike" instead of "like." I am guessing where the next line of stupidity will come from the likes of blindrat next...I would guess pointing out my typo with plenty of condescension from the rat.
Rat then you never were involved in the decision making process and your lack of truth fullness in your statement that business was better back in your day shows you have zero understanding of the business world today. Business was better :back then" Are you delusional? That is a question not a rude response.
Will,
I did specify vendors, son. The people with the technical knowledge should be the ones who do so. If you think that you can do a better job than someone who knows what they are doing, you are textbook delusional, child...
I suppose you rely on vendors to tell you whether or not their products are the best. Then, you check their politics. If you don't like their politics, you go for second best, eh?
A load of crap, certainly...
Listen "son" you swung a wrench right? what gives you the arrogance to think you know how internal decisions were madewhere I work? Yeah, we got nothing but shit parts for political reasons. We just dont do business with GE anymore. Their decision to back such low earners as MSNBC with low performers like Matthews and Olbermann is a serious business problem with GE. Their stock has been stagnant. We go with performers who stay out of garbage like that which iw more of a distraction than a diversification. Plus thier quality is questionable. Since Welch left a great deal about the company has become questionable.
Engineers don't "swing wrenches", child. We have an intensive four-year degree, after which we work with plumbers, mechanics, draftsmen and idiots like you, who think that they can do their job without input...
And, if you blame GE's stock prices on advertising choices, you must be in some kind of special program that allows the metally challeged the chance to screw up white-collar work.
blindrat certainly is an arrogant little prick, isn't he?
It's obvious Rat you never took business courses. And the stock of GE is closely tied to the fact that NBC is a ratings disaster and and parent corporations always suffer. Oh and by the way I am a retired Fire Officer who went to night school who used to follow you engineers around a building. Some were fairly bright, some.
will, did you know that you were "metally challeged?" That must be rough......
Will,
Why pretend that you know what you are talking about, son? GE's stock has been giving dividends consistently. It has risen in value about twenty percent from a year ago...
Next time, check your facts, child...
The FBI calls its spyware a
Computer and Internet Protocol Address Verifier, or CIPAV.
Blindrat check the fifteen yr. trend, it is way DOWN.
Laura: "you are fucking stupid":
Yeah, yeah, yeah Laura. Everybody is so "fucking stupid" but you!

"I have always been considered the best engineer everywhere I work"
The world according to Laura! This is the sign of overblown egos everywhere. I've seen them come and go....I've even fired them.
----------------------------------------
"because I get along exceptionally well with people"
Yeah, you've demonstrated that fine quality very convincingly on this board.
------------------------------------------
When are you going to figure out nobody gives a damn what you do for a living.
Most of us are doing far better than you, and that makes your constant bloviating more hillarious than anything else.
Goodbye for now, braggart...I have a "high level" meeting I need to attend!
