Keith really loves Air America.

David Shuster, Dana Milbank, Craig Crawford...

Geez.

What? No Phil Connors?

The Petulant Paranoid is far too gleeful when another human being makes a simple error, twist of words, or, God forbid, an actual mistake. Reminds one of 4th grade. That kid was very easy to dislike. Still is.

Dana mentioned Krazy Kieth beating King Bill O. in the ratings???

When?
not in the past two years I've been watching the ratings.

Nicks, the last time was in August or September.

But Keith beat a 'Three Week Old Factor Re-Run. I remember Keith saying, "Better get use to it pal".

Yeah Keith was crowing he beat a re-run. He hasn't come anywhere near Bill since then.

Puck it was one of those phony demo "wins" which, using OlbyMath, means he beat the O'Reilly rerun even though the O'Reilly rerun had more viewers. Don't try to make sense of that, it's OlbyMath:

http://www.olbermannwatch.com/archives/2007/10/countdown_with_373.php

#5: It's an Edwards surge! He's coming alive! Don't write him off! He might lose in second place instead of third!

ROFLMAO!

I love those Dem polls where the margin of error is 10 percent. I think the Edwards-loving Kos Kidz love those polls even more. Olbytard's attempt to suck up to them is sooooo transparent. But they are loons, and as such, think Olby's newfound attention is heart-felt and genuine. HA!

A good poll should have a MOE of 3-4% or less. The thing is, many people no longer have a landline in their homes, choosing instead to use a cell line. These people are going undercounted so it's questionable how valuable a poll really is thanks to the widespread use of cell lines only, even the polls with supposedly low MOE's. I think we saw that in the NH Democratic race for sure.

Tonight, Keith stated that he wants to "pre-impeach" the Republican candidate. MSNBC refers to Keith as a "news anchor"? He's a journalistic embarrassment.

Yeah, Olbermann WOULD define "high crimes and misdemeanors" as not sharing his POV... :D

I was struck too at the moaning and quickly dismissive sound he made at McHales' joke about Obama knowing what it feels like to have a "chunky blonde hissing at him"... Wonder how many screeds that sacrilege will engender from his "friends" at Daily Kos...

>Oralmann was so desperate to attack Fixed News [Ding!] that he pretended that an unscripted extemporaneous reference to when Lincoln "left office" meant that the speaker was an idiot who didn't know Lincoln was assassinated (Blue Blog Source: Hullabaloo). Yeah, unconvincing and petty, but that's Olbermoronn all over.

This was petty. If he had said "in Lincoln's final days in office" would KO have jumped all over him? The meaning is the same. Olbermann's looking for reasons, just waiting for any small example of misspeaking. There's your king of integrity in reporting/ achoring, whatever he's calling himself these days.

Kountdown is a "news show" charade
Each night it's the moonbat parade
Where America Airs
(They come in pairs)
It's the Seder and Maddow tirade

As for the "left office" comment and KO jumping on it, maybe he needs to go after one of his own.

From Meet the Press, 1/1/06

Jon MEACHAM: You know, Michael Beschloss, our great friend, historian Michael Beschloss, says that--he has a--what I call the Beschloss rule. You can't decide on a president until 20 years after he's left office, and you have all the score-settling memoirs and everything has sort of calmed down, and then you can look back in tranquility which does--I'm not being journalistically self-loathing here for those of us who do this, we...

"You can't decide on a president until 20 years after he's left office"

So does that mean all presidents who were assassination are eliminated from consideration?

I've been reading this site for quite some time now, and GREAT THANKS for the poor guy who has to watch the orange cretin every night. I don't know how you do it. Olbergoebbels' tone of voice and phony facial expressions are enough to make anybody throw up in their mouth a little bit. As for the tone of voice, it is one from a guy who sounds like hasn't had sex in years combined with having his bowels tied up for 6 or 7 days.Can't this [gentleman] just speak like a normal person? Oh, yeah he's not normal. I always thought he'd be much more appropriate alongside Stewert and Colbert on the comedy channel, but bathtub boy isn't even a little funny. I used to catch his poor excuse of a "News" show waiting for him to have a complete mental meltdown, but thanks to this site, I'll always be informed of when they haul his fascist ass out in a straight jacket, after Great Thanksing himself into a foaming seizure. Either he's totally full of [excrement], or is completely unhinged. Heil Olbergoebbels, and great thanks to those that watch the More[Stuff]NothingButCommunists network, so we don't have to.....

Sheik,

Funny you should bring up Stewart and Colbert because I still remember the first time I saw Countdown. O'Reilly was being particularly pompous one show and I was looking for something a bet less obnoxious. By chance, I stumbled on Countdown. I swear, I watched the show for nearly half an hour and was convinced that it was a Saturday Night Live-type skit. Olbermann looked and sounded like a comedian playing a character that was somewhere between Howard Beale and a left wing version of O'Reilly on mega doses of steroids.

I must confess that I did enjoy that first exposure to Olbermann because I thought his hatefulness and pompous condescending attitude was an act. Now that I know his hate, anger, and narcissism is real, I find myself bouncing between contempt and pity.

Keith Olbermann posts for a THIRD time at the Daily Kos:

Mukasey Hangs A Portrait Of Orwell
by Keith Olbermann
Fri Jan 25, 2008 at 09:58:20 PM PST
I had a shot of cortisone in my hand Friday afternoon so I'm still not certain I'm not hallucinating this, even though I've seen it on the Reuters news wire, read it aloud to a couple of colleagues, and put it out on Countdown as the closer to "Bushed!"

Attorney General Michael Mukasey says he has hung two portraits in his new office. And one of them is of George Orwell.

Keith Olbermann Now a Regular Daily Kos Contributor?
By Noel Sheppard | January 26, 2008 - 12:08 ET
Imagine for a moment Fox News's Brit Hume or Chris Wallace regularly contributing to a popular conservative website like Captain's Quarters, Little Green Footballs, or Michelle Malkin.com.

Do you think the media would have a field day with a supposedly "fair and balanced" anchorman being so intricately connected to such a rightwing entity?

If the answer is "Yes," then why does MSNBC's Keith Olbermann get a pass for his posts at the far-left website Daily Kos, and the appearance that this is becoming a regular gig?

http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2008/01/26/keith-olbermann-now-regular-daily-kos-contributor

Keith Olbermann comments on his own story (5 times so far) here's one where he plugs his show so people can see what he got for his birthday---this man is really in love with himself, honestly:

And Cris Collinsworth (63+ / 0-)

He's three hours younger than I am. All football season I called him "Son." In fact, since I met him at Fox Sports ten years ago I've called him "Son."

Gads, we're old. Happy BD.

Can't tell you what I'm getting for my birthday but the astute observer may notice it during our South Carolina coverage Saturday night on MS (plug).

A chance to be Marcos Moulitsas' ventriloquist dummy?

there are over 700 fawning comments of love for him. I think the fact that his book lasted only a week on the NYTimes and wasn't the BIG success he hoped for. Having all these has got to make that ENORMOUS ego feel pretty good.

Olbermann isn't going to like this...A response to Olbermann'a original post. Better written, needless to say....

-----or this comment:

I totally agree. I used to really like Keith's show, but I started feeling like I was watching a liberal version of Neil Cavuto. Yes, I agree with his views, but I'm not sure I need to watch a full hour of a program reinforcing my own beliefs. I thought that only right wingers needed that constant self-affirmation and dishonest mock outrage. It started going downhill with the Special Comments, not to mention the 10 minutes spent on Britney Spears every night. Now we have the possibility of Rachel Maddow on MSNBC, which is really more of the same shit. It's all like junk food, tasty but worthless.
by Man in Black on Sat Jan 26, 2008 at 08:17:45 AM PST

I looooove the "keith number" he uses to show undecided voters, just to prove how unpolitical he is. it's as though he's not sure if he'll vote for McCain or whoever the democrat is. lol.

It doesn't surprise me anymore. I suspect we'll next see Marcos Moulitsas taking Dan Abrams' place.

MSNBC has embarked on a course to become the spokes-network for an angry and unreasonable bunch of folks.

In the end, these same people will bite them in the butt.

There will be no pleasing them and Olbermann will waltz away whenever he has to cover what he doesn't wish to cover or whenever he's had enough.

The network would be better off if it put its fate into an audience consisting of three year olds.

Good god, Olbermann is still obsessing about his lame Daily Kos post. The thread is long buried about 5 pages deep and he can't stop himself...what an EGO! Pretty Funny!

You have to complete the analogy

"If he hung a picture of Ray Bradbury would he be endorsing book burning? "

If there had been a sudden exponential growth of those very few firefighters who have streaks of the arsonist in them, or if there was a wave of book-burnings nationwide (or better yet, both), and Mukasey had just taken over a Justice Department that wasn't sure if this was illegal, or just a commendable example of cutting heating costs - you wouldn't flinch when he hung a picture of the creator of Captain Beatty over his desk?

Thanks, Newsie. I always enjoy your links.

I am certain no one hijacked KO's name for that comment>

The proof is in this little excerpt :

"(or better yet, both)".

I am going to have to quit going to roam around the KozKids' little snake pit for a while. The paranoia is so thick and deep that I started to think that I needed a 1-800-HELP line to understand why a picture of George Orwell in an office is only a picture and not symbolism for 1984 and the Nazi Swastika.

Or maybe Mukasey would be signaling OWers that he's aware that there is at least one martian masquerading himself in the form of granite-faced sportscaster/newsman.

man, Olbermann is really serious about learning the jazz guitar. On Countdown the other day, de mentioned he just discovered Django Reinhardt. What a funny picture, he's struggling to learn jazz guitar and Katy's sitting around knitting. (wonder how Katy's "career" is going?)

I do attempt to watch Countdown, but it always feels like I have watched the same show a dozen times before. Abrams IMO, has the personality of a toenail. Sorry, Dan. You were more interesting and likable on Court TV.

Did Little Katy get him a new tie for his birthday? Is that his great new birthday gift? Olby learning jazz guitar. The thought of that makes me laugh.

Maybe Katy has started a new career as a knitter. Thank goodness he did not say she crocheted because someone on this board would have fun with that.

That tie is old.

And is the guitar why he had to get a cortisone injection in his hand on Friday?

I don't even want to know why he had to get a cortisone shot in his hand.

is nuts. So what if Mukasey has a portrait of George Orwell in his office? I rather like George Orwell myself. Mock outrage is unbecoming.

How do I navigate Kos so that I can find KO's Diary (?) and/or comments?

The site just seems like it was constructed by a group of crazy bureaurcrats. Everything is convoluted and requires reams of explanation and useless instructions.

I have followed all the links I've found here but am interested enough to like to be able to find it on my own.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Janet, I just tried to post all the links, but for some reason the comment was not posted. If you scroll up on this thread, you should find the DailyKos links for Olbermann's posts & comments.

Thanks to you both.

The key is so simple I don't know why I didn't figure it out.
