Olbermann Watch - MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann: Keith Olbermann is a Michael Vick Enabler!

Olbermann Watch, "persecuting" Keith since 2004

September 2, 2007

Keith Olbermann is a Michael Vick Enabler!

Last Sunday Keith Olbermann was given the chance to air his left-leaning opinion fest disguised as a news show, Countdown on NBC. What did Olbermann do with his big shot in primetime? He decided to defend Michael Vick! Olbermann's oh-so-not-very-special comment drew quite a few comments from viewers and commentators. Among them, this insightful piece by Gary Krasner in the American Daily.

Krasner begins his brilliant, insightful commentary on Keith Olbermann with an apt comparison to an old episode of the Twilight Zone series.

Given that Countdown garners the lowest ratings of any primetime cable news show, many people probably don't know who he is. The best analog to Mr. Olbermann is the character Oliver Crangle, played by the great actor Theordore Bikel, from the old Twilight Episode, "Four O'Clock". Scifilm.org provides a synopsis of this episode, which first aired on April 6, 1962:".

Mr. Oliver Crangle is on a great crusade: nothing less than the complete eradication of evil from the world! Crangle is utterly dedicated to this great goal. Every day he scans newspapers, listens to radio broadcasts, and otherwise keeps detailed records on vast numbers of people. Those whom he considers weak, evil and unfit are to be destroyed, usually through innuendo, rumor and hearsay. With only his parrot Pete as his friend, he tirelessly pursues his project.Yet now Crangle is on the verge of his ultimate breakthrough. He believes has achieved the power to turn all the evil people of the world into two-foot tall midgets, thus eliminating their threat! At precisely the hour of four o'clock, Crangle will unleash this awesome power on the world. Is Crangle a deranged madman...or does he really have this power? The answers lie in, The Twilight Zone.

That just about sums up Countdown. It's a show which primarily serves the ego of Olbermann---who imagines himself as the current day version of Edward R. Murrow---and whose mission it is to identify political villains for the angry left, to get angry at. I suppose if someone made a remake of this episode, then NBC News Correspondent David Schuster would be best cast as Crangle's parrot, Pete. He and Olbermann would identify Republicans as the evil people, in the nightly Countdown segment, "Worst Person in the World." But as politically correct liberals, they would have to turn them into something other than "midgets."

Krasner then responds, point-by-point, to the updated commentary Olbermann gave on 9/27 re Michael Vick.

OLBERMANN: The crimes for which football star Michael Vick agreed to a plea bargain obviously constitute the overarching horror of the story. But on Friday, Vick somehow managed to make it a little worse while accepting a prison sentence of up to 18 months and acknowledging he bankrolled the entirety of an illegal dogfighting operation. The document he signed stated specifically that he personally did not gamble on dogfights, personally did not receive proceeds from dogfights, and personally, quote, "did not kill any dogs." Suddenly, on top of the crime, here was an admission of guilt that seemed to admit very little guilt. Our third story on the COUNTDOWN, over the weekend, the sports world seemed to collectively demand something more contrite from Michael Vick. The noteworthy aspect of this scandal is that there has been silence from within the sport. Not even the NFL Players Association has commented on the affair, let alone "collectively demand something more contrite from Michael Vick." And this morning, to the surprise of many, he evidently delivered.

KRASNER: First Mr. Olbermann says it was an "admission of guilt that seemed to admit very little guilt." Now he's saying that Vick had "delivered."

OLBERMANN The somber-looking Atlanta Falcons quarterback walking into federal court today in Richmond, Virginia, for the formal part of the conspiracy charges against him, Vick quietly responding to the judge's questions only with, "No, sir," and "Yes, sir," before pleading guilty, the judge reminding him that could mean five years in prison. The prosecutors want a year to 18 months. Vick again answering, "Yes, sir." After a judge scheduled sentencing for December 10, Vick, without a prepared statement, stood alone before reporters and said he wanted to speak from his heart.

KRASNER: What Mr. Olbermann means is that Vick didn't read from a piece of paper. That's all. But this article showed in the first section that it was a carefully-worded, contrived statement---hardly "from his heart."

OLBERMANN: A brief thought on what Michael Vick has done and what Michael Vick has now said, an update of sorts, if you saw my commentary at half-time of NBC's coverage of the Sunday night football game. Those who hate Vick have made no secret they expect the judge at sentencing on December 10th and the commissioner of the National Football League, as soon as possible thereafter, to punish him with the lengthiest prison term, the heaviest fine, the most definite of indefinite suspensions. And here's why they are wrong.

KRASNER:Stop right there. Please take note that Mr. Olbermann failed to red-flag the contrived, self-serving phrases by Vick, which I had described earlier. "Immature acts" include toilet-papering someone's lawn. Torturing and killing dogs and small animals are "inhumane acts." Do you see the difference, sir? And if slamming dogs to the ground until they can no long breath is what Mr. Olbermann agrees is "a terrible thing", then what other acts would he describe as "abhorrent", or "repugnant", or "repulsive", or "inhumane"? And does Mr. Olbermann really believe that Vick's sociopathic behavior can be undone after Vick will "think about in the next year or so"?! And when was the last time Mr. Olbermann ever accepted a mea culpa from a Republican who announced he will seek God's forgiveness and "turned his life over to God"?

OLBERMANN: If you hate him, the equation should be pretty simple: His $130-million-dollar contract is gone.

KRASNER: Mr. Olbermann is disingenuous, to put it mildly. He covers sports for ESPN. He knows that press reports indicate that the Falcon owners claim between $20 and $28 million in roster bonuses may be subject to forfeiture. But no one knows how they came up with that high figure. If converted roster bonus money is not included, and if the 2006 CBA is applied retroactively, the most the Falcons can get is the remaining three years' proration of his $7.5 million signing bonus, which equates to $3.75 million. If the prior CBA does apply, the Falcons can recover $5.75 million. The bottom line is that Vick remains fabulously wealthy.

OLBERMANN: His freedom is gone. His reputation is gone.

KRASNER: But unlike the dogs and small animals he killed and maimed, Vick is still breathing and not missing any meals.

OLBERMANN: We already know what he is. We are now just arguing about the price. And that real price comes due after jail and after the suspension, when Michael Vick tries to return to football in 2010, maybe 2009, but the sooner the better.

KRASNER: Some of you must be scratching your head at this: If Mr. Olbermann really does "know what he is", then why would he say that the sooner Vick returns to football, the better? Because Mr. Olbermann is a guilty white liberal who denigrates blacks through his condescension towards them. They need affirmative action for getting into school, and for being punished for misdeeds. To Mr. Olbermann, Vick and any other black quarterback is another Jackie Robinson---a representative of all the blacks who used to be excluded from the sport. And the lowering of standards for blacks today is the reparations Mr. Olbermann feels---as the ultimate arbiter of what is just---society must pay. Put simply, had Vick been white, this Special Comment would not have been written.

OLBERMANN: No NFL miscreant has been so vilified while an active player, not gunplay and trouble at strip clubs veteran Pacman Jones, not serial batterer and general troublemaker Lawrence Phillips, not turned state's evidence against his friends in a murder trial Ray Lewis, not a drunk driver who killed a mother, Leonard Little, in 1998 and was then arrested anew for driving drunk, Leonard Little in 2004.

KRASNER: This statement is confirmation that Mr. Olbermann does not appreciate the gravity of inhumane behavior that shocks the conscience. Men who are prone to alcoholism or rowdy behavior are driven by neuroses, or sometimes, metabolic or dietary malfunctions. Manslaughter, which was one of the things Mr. Olbermann enumerated, is death that occurs absent of intent. Indeed, it is the result of negligence most often. These things are beyond the victim's control, and most of us understand them, even though we may deem the resultant behavior unpalatable. Even the lowly pedophile is driven by sexual urges, which eclipses the normal empathy he would have for the child's welfare. We understand the power of, and adverse consequences attendant to succumbing to sexual urges. But the ability to intentionally, and violently, and with great pain, snuff out the life of an innocent dog is a psychopathology---not a mere neurosis---and one which we have no direct understanding of. It's foreign. It scares us. It is devoid of all compassion, and driven by none of the aforementioned human failings which we can understand, and sometimes experience ourselves.

OLBERMANN: Because even in a football world where just a week ago a scout could still compliment Corey Ivy of the Baltimore Ravens by calling him a, quote, "pit bull with a gold cap," no other crime has been so viscerally felt and reviled and none gone so unforgiven, and a year in the big house or two under suspension will not change that, except to postpone the next enraged protest, for whenever he comes out, whenever he tries to come back, PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, and the public's memory of what he did for dogs for the sake of fun and games will come back, as well.

KRASNER: You're all style and flash, Mr. Olbermann. The polls indicate that you are in the minority. The rest of us feel that sports teaches and promotes character and integrity. If we indulge Vick's---and your---desire to restore Vick to the privileged position he once held, we would debase that which sports should represent. Denying a man privilege is a small penalty to save the sport he disgraced. Also, you need a lesson in the meaning of zero tolerance, sir. We reserve that criteria for that which society considers intolerable. We don't tolerate crimes perpetrated against classes of people, known as hate crimes. We impose high penalties to demonstrate that, and deny to the perpetrators any minuscule trace of justification for their actions. Thus, we don't listen to the rationales of anti-Semitic killers, or the excuses from terrorists. The horror of the crime, and the intent, are the distinguishing features. What is important to Vick now is not getting another chance to rejoin the elites. Instead, he needs to acheive personal redemption. Do you now see the difference, sir?

OLBERMANN: Initially, in his convoluted, lawyered-up, and agent-approved guilty plea last week, his "I didn't actually kill any dogs myself; I only told others to" statement, Vick seemed to not understand that his only hope was to absorb and retain as much guilt as possible, that any chance of redemption for him depended entirely on his willingness to take responsibility and blame and punishment. Thus, his statement today, "I want to apologize for all the things that I've done and that I have allowed to happen" was exactly the right start. He did not repeat the nuance and the loophole-filled admission. He did not Pete Rose it.

KRASNER: With due respect, sir, you are wrong on both counts. First, his latter statement was non-specific, and didn't take sufficient responsibility for killing dogs. Second, he surpassed Rose! He carefully chose tame words like my immature acts; I made a mistake; we all make mistakes; bad judgment; bad decisions; a terrible thing to describe his actions. He avoided uttering the obvious and appropriate terms "inhumane", "unconscionable", etc. Words that the press and public were attributing to him for weeks. So he at least knew what he was, even though he couldn't come clean with the appropriate words to describe what he did---your delusional interpretation notwithstanding.

OLBERMANN: And now comes the tough part. Don't get me wrong. He is Michael Vick, not Michael Victim. But if you think him evil, you should still be rooting for him to be returned to football as soon as possible, returned from the Hell of incarceration and the Hell of suspension to the Hell of life as Michael Vick, would-be quarterback, pleading for a pro job while the hounds of public approbation are nipping at his heels.

KRASNER:: A callous choice of words. Hounds nipping at his heels, Mr. Olbermann? Are you sure you wish to use that analogy? And as a callous, angry person that you are, it is natural for you to feel that this is about punishing Vick, as opposed to protecting the integrity of the sport. Because it is your inclination, sir, week after week, drenched in your own sanctimony, to vilify and punish all who you deem evil, as had Theodore Bikel's Mr. Oliver Crangle. Vick is not evil. He is to be pitied. He has a human failing---something that is missing. It's a something that makes the rest of us human. Some people are color-blind. Vick is blind to compassion.

Why didn't PETA jump all over his ass for this?

By Anonymous on September 3, 2007 12:12 PM

Not true. NBC was flooded with calls complaining about his defense of Michael Vick. Other animal rights groups on the net also complained. No amount of Olbyloon support can change what Olbermann said and what he meant. He thinks it's okay to dogfight. He thinks Michael Vick should get another chance.

By puck on September 3, 2007 12:18 PM

It's nice to see folks in the print media coming out like this, instead of the cut and paste pro-Keith crowd.

But one thing Mr. Krasner does miss, and it's not his fault. Is that Keith lifts everything from somewhere.

When was the last time Dopey had an original idea in his head?

I still say, Keith lifted the story from Bill Conlin of the Phila. Daily News.

http://www.philly.com/dailynews/columnists/bill_conlin/20070820_Bill_Conlin___No_time_for_these_two.html

As for the Twilight Zone? That's priceless! I don't think Keith is at that point yet. Frankly, because he's soo stupid and can only read a teleprompter and I don't think he knows what he is saying have the time.

Plus having the same people on all the time.

That 'Controlled and Conditioned' deal for Keith and his single digit I.Q. audience.

And since no one has been able to back up this claim he was number one in the demo with some ratings service that no has ever heard of. Can we also add, 'Imaginary Audience?'

Hey! If Harry Reid can have an imaginary friend named Tommy, then why can't Keith have an imaginary audience?

After Katie is gone, these gigs are gone. And Keith is either living home again or some rent controlled apartment with one of Creepy Musto's friends. Yeah, then I can see Mr. Beale turning into Mr. Crangle.

And after that does happen, (and it will) Keith can be Mickey Rooney in the another 'Twilight Zone" episode. The one where Mickey was a washed up jockey. (i.e. Keith washed up teleprompter reader) And he wanted to be BIG!

Submitted for you're approval!

By puck on September 3, 2007 12:25 PM

Because PETA along with the rest of society.........

WOW! PETA is into dogfighting? PETA thinks it's okay to let Vick walk?

What have you been reading?

Imaginary newspapers?

By Anonymous on September 3, 2007 4:44 PM

Olbermann believes it's okay that Vick murdered innocent animals. Olbermann believes that it's okay to engage in betting and gambling on a "sport" when the NFL rules clearly state that a player cannot bet on ANY sports. Yes, Olbermann is an enabler of Vick in the same way that his fans deny what he has said, try to spin the meaning of what they CLAIM he said, and flat-out ignore the man's lies, omissions, and utter hypocritical ways.

By Anonymous on September 3, 2007 7:02 PM

Olbermann is a SOB who will say anything he thinks will win him whatever audience it is he's going after. He panders to the liberals. Now he's pandering to what he thinks the NFL fans want to hear, that their guy didn't do anything bad. One problem with that, Vick is as unpopular as Olbermann is.

By The Factor on September 3, 2007 11:25 PM

Because Mr. Olbermann is a guilty white liberal who denigrates blacks through his condescension towards them. They need affirmative action for getting into school, and for being punished for misdeeds. To Mr. Olbermann, Vick and any other black quarterback is another Jackie Robinson---a representative of all the blacks who used to be excluded from the sport. And the lowering of standards for blacks today is the reparations Mr. Olbermann feels---as the ultimate arbiter of what is just---society must pay. Put simply, had Vick been white, this Special Comment would not have been written.

This is the best part of this artical. It really captures how Olbermann and zombies feel about black people. They feel they are sub-humans who are to be protected much like pit-bulls. They are not actually responsible for their actions because they are sub-human. This is why they put their abortion clinics on every block in minority communites. It is the liberals form of population control.

By Mike on September 4, 2007 12:55 AM

Factorspeak: "This is the best part of the artical.".....What's an "artical?

"It really captures how Olbermann and zombies feel about black people.".....I don't know about Olbermann, but I would think zombies would find them at least as tasty as white people.

"They feel they are sub-humans who are to be protected much like pit-bulls.".....What I want to know is who is protecting the pit-bulls?

"They are not actually responsible for their actions because they are sub-human.".....Where did you learn to read minds like this?

"Thuis is why they put abortion clinics on every block in minority communities.".....Can you verify where you got this information? .... Because to tell the truth, I have been unable to locate even one abortion clinic in a 20 block area of my local minority community.

"It is the liberals form of population control."....Lets see now, on one hand, you claim 'liberals' want a larger 'dependent' minority voting bloc, but on the other hand, they are actively trying to limit their population growth?

Logic and truth have no place in Factor's fantasy world.

Let me get this straight, you saw Factors post, went out and jumped in your hooptie in search of an abortion clinic? You're about as observant as the blind sheik. If you did see one, I have a feeling you wouldn't tell us, given your history of being an honest broker.

http://www.blackgenocide.org/

The purpose of this website is to reveal the disproportionate number of black babies exterminated by the abortion industry in America.

Although black women constitute only 6% of the population, they comprise 36% of the abortion industry’s clientele. The leading abortion providers have chosen to exploit blacks by locating 94% of their abortuaries in urban neighborhoods with high black populations.

This high rate of abortion has decimated the black family and destroyed black neighborhoods to the detriment of society at large.

By Brandon on September 4, 2007 12:49 PM

Here's another fine example of the stupidity and density of Olbermann's Loon Contingent. I believe THIS paragraph says it all, i.e., Hey, let's go easy on Vick. He's "suffered enough".

Olbermann: Those who hate Vick have made no secret they expect the judge at sentencing on December 10th and the commissioner of the National Football League, as soon as possible thereafter, to punish him with the lengthiest prison term, the heaviest fine, the most definite of indefinite suspensions. And here's why they are wrong.

By blindrat on September 4, 2007 12:58 PM

Brandon,

That is a defense, son? How? Perhaps you should look up "defense" in the dictionary. Olbermann never defends Vick; he simply argues against a lengthy prison sentence...

Typical neocon, cannot speak English...like your president...

By Mike on September 4, 2007 1:25 PM

Blindrat, Brandon is simply appying the same convoluted thinking that many on his side are famous for. That is how they usually come up with such gems as:

- 'He supports Iran and it's nutty leader'.
- 'He's an enemy defender'
- 'He supports Chavez'
- 'He blamed Bush for the Minnesota bridge collapse'
- 'He hates our troops'
- And on, and on, and on, and on, and on.....

I for one, happen to disagree with Olbermann about Vicks' punishment, but he's entitled to his opinion and I respect him for airing it in the face of overwhelming public opposition.

http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/341059/aflcio_presidential_debate_a_high_jinks.html

from the essay:

"It was not a surprise that after this dirty trick carelessly employed by Mr. Olbermann was unleashed; the waiting public saw the smokes behind the fire, and, that was why the moderator was booed mercilessly by the union workers who came in desperation to seek a consensus solution to their problems, rather hearing a tactical message of dividing an ethnic group or race."

By Anonymous on September 4, 2007 1:54 PM

Brandon,

You are a tool. I suggest you read John Clayton's article over at ESPN on why Vick will NEVER find another job in the NFL as a quarterback.

Vick's OWN ACTIONS have foreclosed him ever coming back to the game. He has lost over $100 million in salary and endorsements. His PR face is so badly tarnished that no General Manager will come within a hundred miles of him.

Besides, what Vick offers by turning state's evidence will disrupt and destroy many more dogfighting operations. In the end, the GREATER GOOD is served.

Vick is in a prison of his own making. And that's what Olbermann was saying. You are just too fucking dense to understand that.

By Brandon on September 4, 2007 2:58 PM

The olbyloon at 1:54 is so proud of their decision to support Vick that they don't even have the guts to sign their name to their own post. Just like Olbermann, they support "enough" punishment for a self-admitted felon being that he loses his current NFL contract. Boo hoo. Let's let im play football again shall we? THAT is what Olbermann is saying but the Olbyloons have long had to "translate" whatever the hell it was that Olbermann was trying to say. As a blog post I did after this initial Oh-So-Special Education Comment, even Olbermann fans DID NOT support or even understand his tortured logic on this commentary. It is clear from the defender remarks here that you still don't. No wonder you love the man so, he's a rocket scientist to you with your impaired thinking.

Brandon,

I don't support Vick, you jerk. I just point out that whatever sentence he gets will pale in comparison to the other punishments he will get.

The fact that he consorted with gamblers (as he ADMITTED in his plea) will get him a harsh punishment from the NFL, up to and including a lifetime ban. An admission that WAS NOT revealed and only alleged when Olbermann made his comment.

Here, read Clayton's article. You'll see that he has NO SHOT at ever playing professional football at the NFL level again.

From TVnewswer: 9-04-07
> Countdown with Keith Olbermann beat The O'Reilly Factor in the 25-54 demo last Thursday. MSNBC tells us that has only happened once before: April 18, 2007. Bill O'Reilly was on vacation last week.

-----------------------------

How sick is this. April 18th is when the VATech shootings were happened. How sickening that MSNBC would trumpet that as a "ratings" victory, when THEY profitted off the killers manifesto. What a bunch of disgusting pukes.

By the way, here are the REAL numbers from ICN from April 18, 2007. Olberamann did not beat O'Reilly in the demo:

8PM - P2+ (25-54)
O’Reilly Factor– 2,574,000 viewers (450,000)
Paula Zahn- 1,506,000 viewers (535,000)
Countdown w/ Olbermann – 1,030,000 viewers (444,000)

And unless they are aborting pit bull puppies or Keith Olbermann's love children--what does this have to do with either Michael Vick or Keith Olbermann?

Perhaps you think he is just an ignorant black man? Maybe you could address him at this time and place:

Clucker, I don't believe they even allow Volvos in Texas, do they?

philby, look at your 11:33 post, typo. Not too much of a hypocrite, are ya? Not that we didn't know, already.

By royal king on September 5, 2007 1:35 AM

Clucker/philby/rudy/jennifer, did you happen to get the Cougar's name or a copy of his passport for proof of an actual encounter? DNA sample?

Could you tell me again, I've forgotten, how many times has Olbermahn been to Iraq? Maybe you can consult with mike on this topic.

"Could you tell me again, I've forgotten, how many times has Olbermann been to Iraq? Maybe you can consult with mike on this topic."

Maybe not Jeff...because 'Mike' really doesn't give a flying flip how many times Olbermann has been to Iraq.

There aren't any Texans in that part of Texas, all displaced Californians.

Actually, they're from Louisiana. Thanks to the mayor (d) and the gov(d). The crime rate in all of the cities in Texas that were kind enough to take them in has went through the roof. Shocker.

There's good ole Jeff again...makin them racist comments agin!

By Anonymous on September 5, 2007 2:21 AM

Only a racist would see 1:56 as a racist comment. Looked in the mirror, lately?

By Mike on September 5, 2007 2:28 AM

Anonydumya 2:21: I'm not the one who just joked that the former predominantly BLACK population of New Orleans has caused the crime rate to "go through the roof" in their new predominantly WHITE cities.

If you REALLY didn't see racism in that comment, then you are obviously hopelessly racist yourself.

“Crime rates are going up because of Katrina evacuees,” Political science expert Bob Stein said.

Funny, I don't see the words "predominately black population of new orleans" anywhere in my post. Mike is doing what he does second best, next to lying, putting words in people's mouths. He cries his eyes out when J$ or Ed inadvertently misquotes Olbyonesidedkanoby, but, mike has no problem doing it to promote his hatred toward anyone that disagrees with his far left agenda. Hypocrisy? Indeed.

By Brandon on September 5, 2007 1:18 PM

The demographics of NoLa have changed, and it is no longer predominantely black, more equally divided between White/Hispanic and Black. But the crime rate HAS spiraled since Katrina and one of the reasons they can't get the city rebuilt properly is because they aren't able to attract contractars to the area because they fear for their lives. And this crime rate has spiked with far less citizens (population) than was there pre-Katrina. That's not a racist statement, it's just the truth.

By royal king on September 5, 2007 1:35 PM

clucker/philby/rudy/jennifer, have you found those other 9 names I post under, yet? Just curious.

By Mike on September 5, 2007 2:45 PM

Brandon, Jeff wasn't referring to NoLa in his recist comment. Explore the context before responding please.

By Mike on September 5, 2007 3:00 PM

Jeff:

"Funny, I don't see the words "predominantly black population of New Orleans" anywhere in my post ."....Did you see ME put those words in quotes?

"Mike is doing what he does second best, next to lying, putting words in people's mouths.".....So what you are really saying is that you are so stupid that you didn't know that New Orleans was predominantly black prior to Katrina and that most of those misplaced were PREDOMINANTLY BLACK? So which was it Jeff....ignorance or racism?

"He cries his eyes out when J$ or Ed inadvertantly misquotes Olbyonesidedkanobe,"....."inadvertantly" - LOL - Trust me Jeff, they weren't 'inadvertant' misquotes. They were as calculated as they come. ALso, "crying' is hardly and apt description for calling someone on intentional misrepresentations.

"but, mike has no problem doing it".....we've already established that I DIDN'T do it. However I DID assume that you knew The resettled folks were predominantly black. Sorry I overestimated your ignorance.

"to promote his hatred toward anyone who disagrees with his far left agenda.".....You're so far to the right that you believe anyone from center right on are "far left", and that is a FACT!

"Hypocrisy? Indeed."....Absolutely....yours!

By royal king on September 5, 2007 7:12 PM

clucker/philby/rudy/jennifer, You should move to Hollywood. You would fit right in with all of the other phonies. You clearly have shoved your foot up your ass, again. Feel good? It must.

update for this thread:

For those who missed Olbermann taking back what he said about Michael Vick:

By Brandon on September 7, 2007 2:31 PM

The olbermann apologists spent a week trying to tell us what he really meant. Now that he's apologized, guess what? They agree that it was a BAD COMMENTARY which rambled and made no sense. But only AFTER Olby apologized for it. What a bunch of frigging hypocrites. NO wonder they worship this man like an idol.

By Anonymous on September 7, 2007 6:53 PM

^ I love it when someone who constantly & obsessively comments on a blog where he doesn't seem to like the majority of the people, topics, subject matter, etc.; is telling someone else to get a life. Mr. Irony, its for you!

By Olbermann Had to Apologize on September 8, 2007 12:03 AM

What does that tell you about his commentary? DO people normally issue apologies when they were RIGHT about something? Olbermann sucked ass on that Vick "commentary" and the blow-back made NBC make HIM apologize. Now his apologists have spent almost 2 weeks trying to explain how that's not what he really meant but now that he's apologizing for what he really said where does that leave the Olbyloons exactly? I'll tell you, wiping the egg away from their faces just like Olby!
