"COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN" (8:00 P.M.-9:00 P.M. ET)
Host: Keith Olbermann
Topics/Guests:
Keith Oralmann must have still been in a sour mood left over from last night as he barked the opening spiel: Hillary only gained 15 delegates! Will she get "dirtier"? The latest O'Reilly attack! It's hump day at Olbermann Watch.
#5: Hillary's wins blamed on her "negative advertising". Plus they were "largely unchallenged by the media". (Cue clip of Herr Olbermahn handing Bill Jefferson a check.) Comedian [Ding!] Limbaugh was committing "sabotage". The Wolffe Man simpered and was Great Thanksed.
Hillary's "telephone" ad was "slime" but Bear suggested Barack could do an ad about the phone ringing at 3:00 am and someone "asking for Bill" (a quip he stole from Dick Morris, by the way). They should both stop their "paranoia" about media coverage. Lefty Robinson rambled in agreement; he wasn't Great Thanksed but he was Pleasured.
#4: The Dream Ticket. A content-free specularama that can be summed up in four words: it's a "long shot". Lefty Alter yammered.
#3: Florida, Michigan, and Super delegates. Dr Dean seems to prefer new votes in the two states. Todd talked.
#2: tease for #1. #1: McCain late for his endorsement. Yes, the first major candidate to secure enough delegates for the nomination is relegated to the tag-end "joke" segment. This is just the "bold-faced clincher" that will do in his doomed candidacy! Dana Milbank, lacking lurid livery, somehow forgot to make fun of McCain's cancer. That's news on The Hour of Spin.
In the Media Matters Minute, Herr Olbermahn gave us O'Reilly attack #427 (for referencing this report) and #428 (Blue Blog Source: Hillary Clinton's Media Matters--never one to fuss over such niceties as accuracy, Bathtub Boy took the already-edited quote and sliced it down to just three words...no point in letting anyone hear the complete context and spoil a good joke smear). Plus the latest attack on Glenn Beck (Blue Blog Source: HuffnPuff). Fixed News! [Ding!] As always, straight from the lefty websites to Oralmann's teleprompter.
Tonight's MisterMeter reading: 1 [LOW]
And that's The Hour of Spin for this, the 669th day since the declaration that "Karl Rove will be indicted".
The attack on Glenn Beck is disgraceful. If you watch the clip, it is clear the Beck is making fun of people who call his show and say Obamanation is the anti-Christ. Let’s also remember that this smear is coming from the man who compares George Bush to Adolf Hitler every night.
Stop the presses: Did everyone hear Milbank commenting on McCain and the War? It went something like this:
"McCain was right about the war."
OlbyLimp nearly cried when he heard this...such contrary words have never been spoken on his show.
Of course, he wasn't "great thanked"
Olbermann was visibly proud and amused by his newest attempt at humor - saying "Su-hooper-delegates." He could hardly contain the smile on his face as he annunciated his artistic production. At least he won't have to worry about anyone ever calling him a comedian.
Olbermann says he's not campaigning for Obama but by attacking Hillary and McCain he every night he is helping Obama, and he knows it.
Keith said tonight:
Hillary is running a negative/dirty campaign.
And as an example of Hillary's dirty campaigning Keith pulls out her commercial he claims is "fear mongering."
He ask Richard Wolffe did the negative ads win her the states last night.
Implying that's the only reason she won.
He also mentioned a story of Hillary's plane going through very rocky turbulence and everybody was panicking but Hillary was asleep. Then Keith gave us that "do you get my hidden joke, in there?" Meaning if Hillary is sleeping through a rough plan ride, image what she'll do in a rough presidential moment.
He mentions all this while talking a hundred miles per hour. Maybe he thinks if he says it faster Hillary won't hear it?
He boasted that MSNBC beat all the other stations when it came to the election coverage, of course they did. People tune in not because MSNBC is so good, they tune in to see what stupid thing will Matthews and Olbermann say next.
Keith called O'Reilly's viewers stupid and spent 5 minutes on the story of McCain being late to the presidents endorsement, nice going.
Is there a way we can petition Cornell to take back their B.S. Degree of Communications to Keith?
I wonder if he even took any journalism courses?
Yeah, to question the experience and ability of a political rival to handle the job of Commander In Chief is just sooooooooooo negative in a campaign...
BTW-- Are the Democrats who didn't vote for Obama in Ohio and in Texas as "racist" as the Tennesseans who failed to return Harold Ford to office?
"Limbaugh was committing "sabotage". "
Really? Obama's campaign sent out automated calls saying, "If you're a Republican that's tired and wants change just pick up a Democratic voting sheet and vote for Obama". I guess they took his advice but voted Clinton instead.
Quick reminder, folks: MSNBC had this buffoon on as part of their "news anchor" team. Fox News gave Bill O'Reilly the night off. Hannity & Colmes were on before the news anchor coverage. Got that, Mr. Fixed Noise?
Why would conservatives and republicans watch coverage of a primary that is basically a contest between two democrats since the Republican nomination has been locked up for a month. Fox News should have had O'Reilly on and forget about the primary coverage.
B. Hussein Obamanation's biggest problem in this election is his despicable horrible wife. She make Hillary Clinton seem wonderful. Michelle Obamantion trades in jealousy and hate.
"we're a country that is "just downright mean," we are "guided by fear," we're a nation of cynics, sloths, and complacent. "We have become a nation of struggling folks who are barely making it every day," Michelle Obamanation
We are a nation of struggling folks who are barely making it? This is a nation where nearly everyone has two TV's, air conditioning, and two cars. Most nations can barely feed their people. This is coming from a woman whose pay increase-from $121,910 in 2004 to $316,962 in 2005. This from a woman who was too stupid to get into the college she got into but was let in because of her race.
"The life that I'm talking about that most people are living has gotten progressively worse since I was a little girl" another pearl of wisdom from Michelle Obamanation.
Life is worse now for people than it was in the late 60's and 70's? Is she really that stupid? What a disgrace. If Hussein Obamanation is smart he will find a mistress fast to shut this hag up fast.
Why didn't Olbermann use this gem from
MediaMatters? http://mediamatters.org/items/200803050006?f=s_search
"I would add other things that are going now to get a second look that they've long deserved. This dumb, nasty, ethnic rock 'n roll racist church that he(B. Hussein Obamanation) goes to in Chicago, that's gonna, he won't be able to walk away from that anymore." Chistopher Hitchens
Hitch hates all religon but even a broken clock is right twice a day and he is dead on about Obamanation's church.
Keith has really been in the tank for Obama ever since Daily Kos endorsed him.
O'Reilly is further exposing the far left hate site, huffpo. Left on left hate. Who's the poster that keeps harping 'the republicans are self destructing?' New gal????
#5: Hillary's wins blamed on her "negative advertising".
I wonder if keefy considered the "Betrayus" add "positive advertising?" Keefy can sure dish out the negativity, but, say anything negative about his flavor of the day and he cries like a freakin' baby!
Markos must be Krazy Keith's puppet master.
BTW-- Are the Democrats who didn't vote for Obama in Ohio and in Texas as "racist" as the Tennesseans who failed to return Harold Ford to office?
*
Too cute by half, Cecelia. No one accused people who voted for one party or the other to be racist by reason of their decision. Rather, the Tennessee election was racist because the Clown and the RNC ***EXPLICITLY*** injected race into the campaign by among other tactics, Ford with the platinum blond. I realize that you may not be personally racist, but you certainly associate yourself with some of the worst racists in America, i.e. Cee, Factor, Olby S***s/Royal King/Jeff, Sharon, the RNC and, to some extent, Grammie Janet. I don't think it is necessary that you do that. You could still be a Republican and not be a racist, but you seem to invariably steer towards the hooded ones.
Keith's masters at kos and some democrat party apologists here at OW are crowing about one new poll showing both HRC and Obamessiah beating McCain in the general.....
Oh well....polls are polls.....
"Looking to the general election, John McCain has a slight lead over both Democrats. McCain now leads Obama 48% to 43% and Clinton 46% to 45% (see recent daily results). A Rasmussen Reports video suggests that the Clinton victories in Texas and Ohio are good news for John McCain. In Washington State, McCain leads Clinton and is essentially even with Obama. The Governor’s race in Washington is also a dead-heat.
"Nationally, McCain is viewed favorably by 52% and unfavorably by 45%. Obama’s numbers have slipped a bit recently and he is now viewed favorably by 50% of likely voters nationwide, unfavorably by 48%. Clinton earns positive reviews from 49% of Likely Voters nationwide and negative assessments from 50% (see recent daily results)."

And let us all not forget who is going to be attacking the first serious African-American candidate for President of The United States in history for the next several weeks until the next big primary in Pa......Good ol' Clinton Co.....the same group who made Obamessiah look "blacker" in recent ads and continues to use race baiting tactics.....
Oh I enjoyed some lovely dem on dem fighting on PBS NEWS HOUR last night....Bill Bradley totally went balistic on HRC and Clinton Co. while former VP nominee Geraldine Ferarro defended her sister......It was wonderful to watch....August in Denver will be lovely!
Where is anon to defend his hero's tactics....the adulterous sodomite is out there stumping for his wife....the smile on the face of Clinton Co. that is, behind the scenes, lining up opposition to Obamessiah based only on the man's race!.....
What a nice and tolerant party!
I want Obama to win! He is Jimmy Carter on stupid pills. His wife is Theresa Heinz Kerry off meds. Obama is truly a horror who will destroy the people he claims to want to help.
He wants to withdraw aid to Columbia and opposes NAFTA, which is funny in the context of current events, as Columbia's neighboring totalitarian states send troops to the border to try to overthrow her Democratically elected leader. Obama wants to pull out of Iraq ASAP as we finally have the upper hand and can make a huge difference in the Middle East. He wants to raise taxes when tax reduction has historically been the best way to spur the economy. He wants to eliminate Bush's last tax cut!
You name the issue and that idiot is on the opposite side of common sense. If he could piss into his body instead of into the toilet, he'd be for that too.
So why do I want him to win? Because all of his idiot supporters would have to live with what they'd done. In four short tumultuous years this country of short sighted "gimme more" dopes would end up electing another REAL PRESIDENT like Reagan in response.
Of course neither Hillary nor Osama Obama Hussein Barack will come close -- even the idiot segment of our population will vote for a war hero over these two monsters.

Here's why you are worng Joe. Only left wing nu jobs are voting for Obama. Only left wing nut jobs watch Olbyturd.
Where are the people who have a contrary opinion?
O'Reilly of course. And that is why Olbyturd will never be more than a no. 2 to no. 3 show. Nobody that is a fan of O'Reilly would all of a sudden decide they like Olbyturd. Those kind of changes occurred in one's childhood. That's when Olby's problems started. That and the fact he didn;t get laid until his 40's and he still acts like a baby.
He carries water for the left wing
To the table not much does he bring

Elect Obama and that's all the money the middle class will be left with afte what this boy will do to the economy.
I heard Obamination speaking the other night in Ohio and he said he was in a factory where he saw where machines had been unbolted from the floor and moved over seas.
Well, WTF would a boy that got where he is at by affirmative action who has never worked a day in his life in a factory or probably anywhere else. Obomination came up at a time when affirmative action was out of control and discriminated against many whites. My money says Obamination could or his wife could have gotten into a law school at a small state university in the south on their own grades.
TPS has worked in factories for over 30 years and if you count the years TOS worked on the farm TPS has been working for over 40 years. TPS held a full time job his senior year in HS working 56 hours a week. TPS worked his way through college mainly running an engine lathe at a local machine shop. TPS has learned a lot over that ti me.
The pure fact is there is not a single business owner who wants to move his business overseas or outsource work. Not a single one. The problme is the American worker.
Business owners are sick and tired of paying a worker 40 hours wages for 20 hours labor in return.
Business owners are tired of workers trying to screw the system trying to stick the company in the ass trying to get on premanent disability or running out and getting CTS surgery. It's assholes like this that are causing the real American worker to pay more for insurance.
Business owners are tired of workers showing up stoned or drunk.
Business owners are tired of dumbass Americans. The US ranks near 30th in reading and math skills. I went to an SME meeting in the early 90's and they said 25 years from then that 80% of that work force in 2015 was already working in 1990. That meant our school systems would only produce 20% of manufacturing workers over the next 25 years. I'm seeing it. Where I work today the average age is 46. I said it before, a sixth grade graduate from the mid-70's is smarter than most college graduates today. We have coop mechanical engineers work here their senior year in college year part time. They assigned one to me. I needed an Excel spread sheet creatred on how to balance a large part that had a head and a counterbalance. The manufacture gave ends points on a graph. You had to figure out the points in between on the graph that lead to a lot of human error. I told him to generate a formula by interpolating the points in between. He couldn;t do it. He had to go on the net to figure it out. When TPS went to grade school there were no calcualtors. We had trig tables and you had to interpolate between whole nunbers. The US is in trouble no matter what we do because of a screwed up school system. As an engineer I am rated each year on performance based on qualitative and quantitative standards. Obama says a teacher shouldn;t be graded by a test. Bull crap. Every worker in the US is graded, why not a teacher.
Liberals and left wing nut jobs are appealing to the losers of this country, the dead beats, the short cut atists, the exuces makers, the finger pointers, the people that screw up their own lives and want to blame someone else.
and look at what the educational system did to me.
I can't barely write a sentence in proper American, but I was nominated Ms. Personality and Ms. Optimistic.
"The US is in trouble no matter what we do because of a screwed up school system"
If a liberal wins in '08, I'll probably throw myself in the path of a screwing machine, ehr... the mill, the mill, DAMNED keyboard! doesn't know how to speak American.
Too cute by half, Cecelia. No one accused people who voted for one party or the other to be racist by reason of their decision. Rather, the Tennessee election was racist because the Clown and the RNC ***EXPLICITLY*** injected race into the campaign by among other tactics, Ford with the platinum blond. I realize that you may not be personally racist, but you certainly associate yourself with some of the worst racists in America, i.e. Cee, Factor, Olby S***s/Royal King/Jeff, Sharon, the RNC and, to some extent, Grammie Janet.

Posted by: at March 6, 2008 3:11 AM
The amusing thing here is that if Ford were white, they'd have injected "sex" into the race.
Considering some of the tactics we've seen in the Democratic Presidential Primary, it seems that you are, as ever, impervious to your own irony.
We aren't impervious to it though and are well aware that you are driven to be here. Driven to the sort of irony where you characterize this stuff as "the vibrant exchange of ideas" even as you are driven to try and find the "worst" button to push, the worst bomb to throw.
There is a post from someone with the wonderful name of Moreyn on this board. She's obviously thought that this is a Olbermann fan site. Yet not one conservative here chided her, mocked her, or even addressed her.
Aren't you just far far far too old for this?
I saw recently on tv how Nostradamus predicted Napoleon and Hitler then said the third reign of terror would be by someone named MABA. Could he have meant Obama?
So, in the end, they determined that an HRC/BHO ticket was a long shot.
Rush says: "Let’s say put Hillary on top, that’s a position she is familiar with. Therefore you’ve got a woman and a black, first time ever on the Democrat ticket. They don’t have a prayer." and Donna Brazillie and CNN goes gaga! Brazille says: "I think that comment is, as far as I can tell, a very un-American conversation.... [A]nd to suggest somehow or another that we are not capable of serving this country in the capacity of Commander-in-Chief is just, in my mind, mind-boggling."....do you think that Brazille and CNN will go gaga over KO and co?
Even the Douchebag DUmmies Olbermann panders to are sick of him:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x2966150
Some highlights from sixstring's blog link (what is funny is the DU folks point out things OW has pointed out for years:
(Olbermann's issues with women)
stanwyck:
Olbermann, like Maher, often lets his disdain for women peak through his facade. And while I admire both Olbermann and Maher for many of their relentless attacks on the dangers we've endured under the Bush administration, I wish both had healthier attitudes toward women. Last week's "Real Time" had a nasty sequence on Hillary -- with all the panelists (men, as usual) piling on. And Olbermann has almost as much loathing for Hillary as he does for Bush. I'm an Obama supporter, but, as a woman, watching Keith and Bill has been more and more difficult. They're both become optional watching for me.
(Olbermann's Obsession with Bill O'Reilly)
Angry Mollusk
I'm a big fan of KO, but he needs to stop obsessing over scumbag Bill O'Reilly I'm a big fan of Keith Olbermann, and many of his commentaries dissecting the crimes of Bush have been superb- But I will admit his 'worst person of the week' segments get a bit predictable, as his seems to have grown obsessed with Bill O'Reilly. Billo is a right wing scumbag-we get it, move on.
(Olbermann is not orginal and steals from others)
Angry Mollusk
I think Olbermann-or his writers have stole a few talking points from Mike Malloy I'm convinced a number of the talking points in KO's commentaries exposing Bush as the criminal he is were lifted straight from the Mike Malloy radio show- either that, or it's an amazing coincidence. Anyone else notice this?
(Olbermann not a real journalist)
Mystery2Me
Real journalist? Go look up the word journalist in the dictionary and then get back to me. Ex-sports guy with a huge ego and a big mouth who is in love with the sound of his own voice? Yep, that's Keith. And I won't deny he is great when Bush bashing but he's running out of material. He needs to get a new act.
(Olbermann is flipside of Rush & has Obama bias)
Bumblebee
Yes, he is a "niche" journalist, like Rush. It used to be that his niche fit all of us; now it fits just those who support Obama, because his niche got further "niched." Above all, he is a showman -- with some principles, no doubt -- but they often degenerate into self-righteousness, and that is never "real" journalism
(Olbermann lite on news, like when he covered the Monica)
lwfern
I stopped watching him, too. I used to watch him daily, and recommended him to other people when he was the only one covering election fraud. I'm not seeing news now though. I'm seeing the same monica lewinsky style of reporting he used to do...
(Response to Olbermann's Obama bias)
truebrit71
Whatever...he's a fucking saint around here when he's bashing bush but when he calls Saint Hillary......out and shows her to be the muck-raking fear-monger she is, all of a sudden he's an arsehole... Many folks on DU need to pull their heads out of their collective arses and stop being so fucking stupid...
Here is another thread with more complaining:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=2964558&mesg_id=2964558
Between his 'slippery' apology and his comedy show just sucking in general, the number of olbyloons are 'slipping' into extinction. Which goes back to what I said over 2 yrs ago. I think a great number of his viewing audience are people that DON'T like him which is ironically keeping his ratings just out of the tank!
Chickenblogger can't show one racists comment (nor could he) of mine but there is plenty of evidence to show what a dillhole he is.
Nice to see other places where KO's core audience is show serious wear and tear...I posted links last week to an article at HuffPo about his going after Jon Stewart for his Obama joke at the oscars and a large number of respondents said the same kinds of things, they were sick of KO or he was in the tank for HRC or BO (whichever one they were against), and that they were sick of his obsession w/ O'Reilly.
HILARIOUS!
the funniest thing that has come out of this election cycle has been that the dems have attacked each other and the press the way they have always attacked republicans
and they whine about bias and unfair time and rhetoric and non-answers, but they are talking about the other dem candidate then the one they support...which is what we have been complaining about for eons
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHa

Even KO is not delusional enough to take Christopher Hitchens on. I think even I would feel sorry for KO after Hitch finished with him. I think he learned his lesson after Mark Levin beat him to a bloody pulp.

3. I love KO
but he will be fawning over McCain just like the rest of them. He works for a Republican owned corporation and in the end will say what they tell him.
Too funny. This leftofcool guy somehow thinks that Olbermann will suddenly turn around and stop attacking Republicans. Apparently the "Republican owned corporation" has been OK with, and apparently encouraging, Olbermann to eviscerate the Bush administration and anything right of center. Wow. How out of touch can that poster be?

Just more of her (philby's) baseless accusations, nothing new. I think it's HILARIOUS she won't type my name Olby SUCKS even though she has claimed countless times in the past she doesn't like Olby. A closet olbyloon, I was right all along.
Olby S**ks! TDF!!!!
The more self-absorbed and basically dumb numbnuts like Olbermann get face time, the stronger our Republic will be.
He is a cautionary tale in full! Mothers can point to the tube and declaim -'For Chrissakes, go outside and get some exercise, Mycroft! Do want to grow up to be a pasty dweeb like Olbermann, or real tough guy like Rachel Maddow? Put down the remote and go out and play with real kids - the McCains!'
Yep, More Olbermann; more real Americans will develop.
Look what happened to the ChicagoTribune's Steve Chapman - he could have been a regular guy, gone to Mount Carmel and wrestled; beat up squares from Winnetka; dated skirts that rate, but no - the boy wanted to be like Keith Olbermann. Sad.

Looks like the Bush admin is about is about to force out Admiral Fallon (petraus's boss) for his attempots to block confrontation with Iran. So much for supporting the troops and listening to the commanders. Just another example of the hpocris of Bush Co.

You freaking moron! I don't know anything about "philby," but I know the reason I do not type out S***s is because it is crude and low class. It has nothing to do with Olbermann.
While pondering this weeks news in review, I wonder how many of the brilliant strategists who believed occupying Iraq was such a great idea predicted the day when Ahmadinajad would be riding in triumphantly in a motorcycle motorcade (something our own politicians couldn't possibly do)?
Ho many of them predicted that the void left by our own actions would only empower and embolden Iran, who was the only REAL threat to Israel in the region all along?
How many of them predicted that the Shia would enevitably prevail, and therefore would naturally gravitate to Iran, who is also mostly Shia?
How many of these brilliant men STILL believe the silly idea that Al Qeada has (or had) any real chance of taking over Iraq?
Hint: They SHOULD have been able to predict all of this.....After all, Iraq WAS largely Shia and the hatred between the sects were already well known before the invasion.
There WERE smart Americans even on the right ho foresaw these things....Patrick Buchanon being one of the more prominant among them.
But I keep forgetting, GW Bush didn't know a thing about the demographics or history of the region at the time.....and apparently Hillary didn't know much more about it herself.
Despite all of this, many Americans are apparently STILL falling for the fallacy that "experience" somehow trumps wisdom regarding International politics.
Go figure........!

Posted by: Janet Hawkins at March 6, 2008 1:23 PM
um, he already has, from a review of the MSNBC "Big Show" in 1997:
"The opening night's cracking-good panel featured four fine argumentative grumps -- left-wing contrarian Christopher Hitchens, right-wing hit-man David Brock, why- doesn't-everyone-realize-I'm-correct? feminist Naomi Wolf, and Boston-brawler newspaper columnist Mike Barnicle. They were all there to jaw about the prurient cynicism of the news media, precisely the thing MSNBC is starting to suffer from in the majority of its programming. Olbermann was, in effect, serving as in-house ombudsman -- an ideal role for him. More dustups like this would be a good idea, Keith. B+ "

Well, there's a reason for the particular testiness that you're seeing with the trivializing of the terms "racist" and "homophobe" that you're seeing from our chicken now.
The reason for that testiness was very well articulated by Florida Sen. Nelson making some rather couched but potent comments about DNC head Howard Dean and the consequences of unseating Florida's delegate.
It's priceless.... :D WIth this sort of "drama" it's a matter of minutes before we're called rapists and pedophiles.
Sit back and enjoy the angry wounded Chicken!
Considering Olbermann is good friends with secret spies Joe Wilson & Valerie, this may be the reason he won't have Christopher Hitchens on any time soon:

Yeah, the ensuing melee of that evening is the excuse Olbermann currently uses not to allow moderated debate on Countdown.
Of course he could interview members of both sides without the other being present, but he doesn't let that obvious fact sway him from this lame line of reasoning.
too funny! Media Matters points out how Olbermann is protecting his corporate GE sidekick Chris Matthews, then BLAMES Chris Matthews!

So brilliant Mike thinks that the Middle East would be at "peace" if only Saddam were still in power trying to obtain nuclear weapons while Iran is busy making nuclear weapons. Mutually assured destruction does not work when one of the parties thinks destruction will bring back the 5th Imam and both parties also have bigger fish they both want to fry. Tell me again why Iran halted building nuclear weapons in 2003?
As usual, Cecelia, you managed to completely miss not only the nail, but even the board. You are particularly dense, aren't you?

No, not by a long shot, but thanks for asking... :D
Chicken Blogger, if you equate KO being a moderator 11 years ago of a four person debate with attacking one of the guests by KO naming that same person WPITW now I can't help you.
What does the transcript of that show say to back up your claim that KO has already 'taken on' Hitchens.

KO didn't "take on" Hitchens, KO whined like a baby when his guests ignored his ineffectual stammerings and took on each other. Especially since Chris Hitchens got in MORE than the last word to a Democratic pollster.
For a description of the event, you can go straight to the likes of the liberal site Salon at:
http://www.salon.com/media/1998/10/22media.html
Of course back then Hitchens it was before the Iraq war, so Hitchens agreed with Olby more often than not. Hitch took issue with Clinton, though, and Herr Olbermann could not stomach that (it was before Bear's Konversion to Obamamaniac). The rest of the panel was Olby pal plagiarist Barnicle, Naomi Wolf, and the token right-winger Brock. It's because Olby had to even face ANYONE who disagreed with him that he stayed in his bathtub so often rather than come in to do the show. And eventually quit entirely to do sports. Because listening to opposing viewpoints makes Edward R Olbermann nauseous. It was so much safer to sit in the safe confines of his tub.

Yeah, Olbermann's a smug sniveling self-important little sissy boy.
They always make the worst sort of closet bully.
Thanks for the link Cecelia.
You and J$ have confirmed what I thought!

look it up yourself you old bag
What a pathetic and flawed analysis of the facts, Mike.....Saddam Hussein was just as much a deadly enemy of Israel as Iran was AND the overwhelming opinion of his intentions and likely behavior included the pursuit of WMD.
Your pathetic armchair quarterbacking is no better than Obamessiah who is starting to finally be seen my many as the silly man he truly is....He made one anti-war speech in 2002 and has offerred nothing constructive in the fight against islamic terrorism....and Saddam Hussein was a BIG supporter of such groups like Hezbollah who had killed thousands of people over the years.
What about NOW, Mike and Obamessiah? A power vacuum in Iraq now would allow the radical Shia a great place ijnh addition to Iran to spread terror, nevermind the great victory one would be handing to Al Queda....oh and never mind the millions of Iraqis who DO NOT WANT to live under totalitarianism!
You and Obamessiah are so short-sighted it is amazing....February saw the smallest amount of American deaths in a long time and you still believe it is not improving! Guess what, it is getting better, the government is progressing and unless it is all ruined by premature disengagement, Iraq will become a strong American ally right next door to Iran.
Funny, isn't it, that we have three (3) remaining presidential possibilities, two (2) of whom have discernible faith committments, who are known to and seen to worship, neither one (1) of which is John McCain, who has no discernible faith committment and who is not known as a worshipper, but OW's own crackpot Elmer Gantry has nothing but scorn and ridicule for the religious candidates. Well, maybe is we had some odd cultist running, Elmer C. Gantry would follow.
Oh...and Obamessiah's halo is starting to tilt alittle now that he has to actually attack HRC in order to secure his party's nomination. I cannot wait to see the polls react to the lack of "change" we will actually see the next SIX WEEKS as the democrats tear eachother down.....like this......
"'The race changed once it became clear that John McCain would be the Republican nominee,' Mrs. Clinton said on 'The Early Show.' 'And I think Democrats took a hard look at John McCain, with his emphasis on national security, and then took a hard look at the two of us, and concluded that I’m the best possible candidate to be commander in chief.'"

Oh my.....the neophyte who wants to desert Iraq to the terrorists who are currently losing to the greatest and most hard working men and women in the world is put down by his fellow democrat!.....
Keep it up HRC....you're doing a fine job!

you have no idea what you are talking about.....
"Many years ago, a scared American prisoner of war in Vietnam was tied in torture robes by his tormenters and left alone in an empty room to suffer through the night. Later in the evening, a guard he had never spoken to entered the room and silently loosened the ropes to relieve his suffering. Just before morning, that same guard came back and re-tightened the ropes before his less humanitarian comrades returned.
"He never said a word to the grateful prisoner, but some months later on a Christmas morning as the prisoner stood alone in the prison courtyard, the same Good Samaritan walked up to him and stood next to him for a few moments. Then with his sandal, the guard drew a cross in the dirt. Both prisoner and guard stood wordlessly there for a minute or two venerating the cross until the guard rubbed it out and walked away.
"This is my faith, the faith that unites and never divides, the faith that bridges unbridgeable gaps in humanity. That is my religious faith and it is the faith I want my party to serve, and the faith I hold in my country. It is the faith that we are all equal and endowed by our creator with unalienable rights to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It is the faith I would die to defend. Don't let...
(APPLAUSE)
Don't let anyone fool you about me, my friends, or about this crusade that we have begun. If you want to repair the people's confidence in the government that represents us, join us. If you want to restore the people's pride in America, join us. If you want to believe in a national purpose that is greater than our individual interests, join us."

This is the faith I respect....a faith TESTED.....I read Obamessiah's book...his testimony is nice however, I see so many contradictions in his ideology and what Christ preached about personal holiness and respect for life that I believe his faith is supressed for political convenience (Infants born alive).....And HRC!.....please....sitting in a church and praying again shows nothing to me....it is the character and her ideology is even less Christ-like....
So don't judge McCain falsly, anon.....His faith got him through his hateful incarceration of the secular left in Hanoi and I greatly appreciate that testimony of the power of faith.
You have no clue when to shut-up do you, Crackpot Cultic Cee?
Cecelia, be sure to follow the sandle to the right.

"It is the faith that we are all equal and endowed by our creator with unalienable rights to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It is the faith I would die to defend."
John SIDNEY McCain (thanks Cecelia)......
That is the "discernible faith committment" that I want in a President, anon.....Not the actors of faith like HRC or the conflicted secularist who cannot get himself to vote for a law that protects infants from murder.....
The "discernible faith committment" that our founding fathers had, who knew there was a loving creator and had no problem expressing it....and was not part of a political party who attracts secularists who scoff at people's faith in God and want such beliefs purged from our society.
Well, duh. February's the shortest month. Less days for our children to die.
(Thus ignoring the positives and calling our soldiers children. It's a twofer.)

According FLUCKER's description, it seems I am a character of SPAMALOT....
With big wins in Ohio and Texas last night, Hillary Clinton has finally broken her losing streak and sent a clear message to Barack Obama: I'm not getting out.
For the Illinois senator, the meaning of the primaries is clear - he has to get tough. Hillary can still win this nomination. The proportional representation system of allocating delegates chosen by primaries and caucuses mutes the impact of the popular vote.
By the time the Texas caucuses are fully counted, Obama may have maintained or even expanded his delegate lead, despite Hillary's victories in three out of four states.
Among the remaining 600 delegates to be chosen, Obama should be able to add to his lead.
But there remain 800 superdelegates, each entitled to a full v ote. No matter if Obama leads among elected delegates, they can still deliver the nomination to Hillary.
Do they dare?
If Clinton is able to score a series of popular-vote victories in these late primaries, she could lay the basis for an appeal to the superdelegates to disregard the results of January and February and look instead at her success in the later contests.
The battle of Hillary is over.
The battle of Obama has begun!
Yep....I am a crackpot, cultic, racist, homophobe......
