Now Keith Olbermann is saying McCain is crazy because he was a POW. We new this trick was coming. Where is the Keith Olbermann who complained about the Swift Boat adds? He is now making his own hour long swift boats adds every night. Not to worry though, Mike will still come to this site day after day and defend Olbermann. Mike and his fellow Olbyloons have no problem with a POW getting smeared, as long as it is a Republican. The only thing that matters to Keith and his useful idiots is power at all cost.

Limpy critisizes ORreilly because 3 of his guests didn't agree with Bill.

How could he critisize something that he knows nothing about?

Well, Factor, I watched the show after reading your comment, and I think you are obviously projecting your own unease with your candidate onto those you love to hate.

Where did anyone on Countdown tonight say anything about McCain's POW experiences? Obviously he is a crotchety old fart with a big fat cheek-full of loose screws, but so far you are the only one I've seen (since Bush in 2000, anyway) to make the association between his growing dementia and his period of captivity. Nice job.

Olbermann is doing what many left wing cowards are staring to do, including the New York Slimes. Saying McCain is crazy because of his stint as a POW. It is very easy to see, even for ignorant liberal who like you who has fallen for the buzz words of the rock n roll racist Obamanation. Once again, you have no proof the George Bush did any of that. Keep up your smears and lies.

Sorry Factor; hate to screw up your political fantasy, but these Wikipedia entries are confirmed by all sources on the subject:

"The battle between Bush and McCain for South Carolina has entered American political lore as one of the dirtiest and most brutal ever.[93][100][101] A variety of interest groups that McCain had challenged in the past now pounded McCain with negative ads.[93] Bush tried to co-opt McCain's message of reform,[102] while refusing to disassociate himself from a veterans activist who accused McCain (in Bush's presence) of having "abandoned the veterans" on POW/MIA and Agent Orange issues.[93][103] Incensed,[103] McCain ran ads accusing Bush of lying and comparing Bush to Bill Clinton,[93] which Bush complained was "about as low a blow as you can give in a Republican primary."[93] An unidentified party began a semi-underground smear campaign against McCain, delivered by push polls, faxes, e-mails, and flyers, claiming most infamously that he had fathered a black child out of wedlock (the McCains' dark-skinned daughter Bridget was adopted from Bangladesh), and also that his wife Cindy was a drug addict, that he was a homosexual, and that he was a "Manchurian Candidate" traitor or mentally unstable from his North Vietnam POW days.[93][100] The Bush campaign strongly denied any involvement with these attacks.[100] Bush mobilized the state's evangelical voters[93] and outspent McCain.[104] Leading conservative broadcaster Rush Limbaugh supported Bush and labeled McCain a favorite of liberal Democrats.[104] McCain lost South Carolina on February 19, with 42 percent of the vote to Bush's 53 percent,[105] allowing Bush to regain the momentum.[105] McCain would soon say of the rumor spreaders, "I believe that there is a special place in hell for people like those."[68] According to one report, the South Carolina experience left McCain in a "very dark place."[100]"

In fact, a brief googling of the subject elicited the following right-wing Freeper web-page - pretty disgusting, and not a lefty in sight:

Well it takes a true blue brainwashed moron to not see the game the Olbermann is playing. It is the same game the mean faced witch at the New York Slimes was doing when she asked McCain if he was angry. It is cowardly ploy to plant the notion that McCain is "damaged" from his POW experience. Why aren’t SLOB and his master Keith asking why the Rock n Roll racist Obamanation gave a speech in 1995 saying "that white Americans couldn't care less about the profound problems African-Americans are facing." Obamanation

According to the orange faced retard, we should just start moving obama in the white house so he can start painting it some horrible blue or green color! Yellow? All based on money! Don't you dare, you worthless hack, mention the fact that a great deal of money is no doubt coming from terrorist associations.

Fighting the Obamenon: Not to give you any flashbacks to the SAT's...Or flash-forwards. But which number is bigger: 15-million? Or four. Our fifth story on the Countdown: the hint, is that the fifteen million represents the minimum difference between two remarkable February fund-raising efforts. 35 million for Senator Clinton. "Considerably more" -- several reports peg it at, at least 50 million for Senator Obama. But no... in this world at least, none of those numbers is larger... than four.

You're delusional. Please show even the tiniest scrap of a quote or transcript that supports your attribution that Olbermann or the "left" is smearing McCain's unfortunate experiences in the service. No one is currently saying these "damaged POW" things that I can find except for the Freepers.

Are you presenting this straw-man as a "get out of jail free" card by which McCain's intensifying cult can excuse any whacky senility he happens to emit?

Well you better practice-up, because McCain is WAY 'round the bend, and I don't think we've seen anything yet.

I think we should lay low on the Obama until he takes Hillary down. There is plenty of time for him later.

Glorifying Obama Is One Of The Greatest Journalistic Failures In American History
By: Herb Denenberg, The Bulletin
03/07/2008

The mainstream media have just committed one of the most disgraceful acts of journalistic malfeasance and nonfeasance in the history of America. By glorifying, deifying and canonizing Sen. Barack Obama and failing to examine his record, the mainstream media helped assure his nomination. Some experts say it is already in the bag, even if Hillary Clinton completes her astounding comeback by winning Pennsylvania on April 22.

The second act in that journalistic disgrace is that after the outcome of the nomination process was almost over, suddenly the mainstream media came to its senses and started half-heartedly covering the whole Obama story, which if told, in my view, would make it apparent that he is unfit for the presidency.

Is this suposed to prove, like Factor asserts, that Olbermann is drawing conclusions about McCain's POW experiences? Your three "quotes" ("words" is really more appropriate) say nothing aout Vietnam at all, as far as I can tell. You are all far less than convincing.

I fully believe that McCain is nuts; but this condition has everything to do with the cognitive dissonance of being a "conservative" in America today, and simple advanced age, and essentially nothing to do with his particular military servce.

Once again - you guys are the only ones harping on this angle, and desperatey claiming it is being presented by your opponents. Pathetic, really -and hghly disrespectful of your new fetish.

Well, SLoB, you've been caught in another lie:

http://tinyurl.com/2e9mrd

From DU to Olbermann's teleprompter. The smear machine's echo chamber.

Actually, McCain's mental health is a perfectly valid question. He s widely known to have a terrible, crippling temper and a filthy mouth. He is set off very, very easy. This is well known even by his goose-stepping colleagues. Just ask Cornyn. I question whether McCain is mentally fit to be president.

> Actually, McCain's mental health is a perfectly valid question

Why, because you say so? Has he had to undergo psychological treatment, like Olbermann has? What do you base this on, a temper? Then you think B.J. Clinton has mental problems because his face turns red and he has a temper and wags his finger at people who ask inconveient questions? What's more I don't believe McCain has ever thrown a lamp at anyone.

Even IF you had anything to go on (and you don't--there's more reason to doubt the mental stability of Keith Olbermann than that of McCain)...but even if you did, is your idea of journalism having a "newscaster" and a parade of sycophantic parrots throw out stuff like he's delusional, he's lost touch with reality, he's losing his mind? Is THAT what you defend as journalism? No doubt about it, you ARE an Olbypologist.

"I fully believe that McCain is nuts; but this condition has everything to do with the cognitive dissonance of being a "conservative" in America today, and simple advanced age, and essentially nothing to do with his particular military servce."

SLOB, where do you get this stuff? You're saying because he's 71 then he must be going crazy? OK, that's scientific. As for cognitive dissonance, I think you've got the wrong end of the political spectrum. Think about it. The term "rich liberal" should be an oxymoron. I think John McCain has amply demonstrated that he acts on his own beliefs and is seldom if ever conflicted. SLOB, I know you like to people to think you're all intelligent and whatnot, but tonight you just sound like an idiot. Are you sure you attended Smith College?

How many lamps in the white house has he thrown and broke? So what if he told someone to go f themselves. That particular person deserved it. Olbermann has said much worse. Where were you then? Silent. Or worse, probably defending him.

Johnny, you are playing true to form.

My saying that questions about McCain's mental health are valid and ought to be asked has nothing, nothing to do with the mental health or lack thereof of anyone else.

I don't think Olbermann is an example of mental health. I don't think O'Reilly is, either. To be sure, Clinton has a terrible temper. So? What does that have to do with McCain? Is Olbermann running for president? Is, God forbid, O'Reilly? Is (Bill) Clinton, for that matter?

I am not one of your dense groupies, Johnny. I am not Cecelia, Cee, Jeff/Royal King/Olby Sucks, Sharon. I am not going to nod my head in agreement with every utterance you make (although I do often agree with you). You come back with some irrational diversion, like you just did, you'll get called on it.

Did I prove that McCain is mentally ill? No. My point was the question ought to be raised. Your throw the kitchen sink at it diversion seems to prove my point.

What questions would you have for obama? Just curious.

Way to stereotype and characterize, guys. Some real important issues getting solved in this forum. Good thing SLOB is here--I think circle-jerking would get old after a while, wouldn't it?

More attacks on Hillary tonight
Calling her a hypocrite, Claiming Hillary really lost Texas, Hillary should be out of the race, and Hillary is changing her story.

Then bringing up the red phone commercial once again, the one about national security that Keith calls fear mongering.

Obama criticized Hillary for saying she has more experience and Keith made fun of her for it, yet Obama said on Countdown "I'm the upstart, Hillary is the established candidate"

Did Keith miss what Obama said? I real journalist wouldn't have let that one pass.

So two Military men, that are democrats question McCain's temper, jee what a shocker.

Keith's guest said McCain really looses himself, looses his mind to the point he shouldn't be president.
Then Keith hinted that McCain will go to war with Iran and McCain is irrational.

Go to war with Iran? On proof does Keith have? None

McCain has been in politics since 1982, if he is has explosive has Keith says he is, we would have seen it by now.
We shouldn't be surprised when a politician is rude with a reporter, we see it all the time.
it doesn't mean the man is irrational and shouldn't be president.

Keith complained about Bill O'Reilly's 3 segment about the Huffinton post, this is the same man who has been mentioning Hillary's commercial for the last 4 days and counting.

All of you Obama supporters who are saying that John McCain is mentally ill are really sad and pathetic. You are the same people who lashed out at the "swift boating" of John Kerry, yet you have no problem throwing mud at John McCain. The politics of hope? Yeah right.

1. I fully believe that McCain is nuts; but this condition has everything to do with the cognitive dissonance of being a "conservative" in America today, and simple advanced age,..."

I would apply the cognitive dissonance theory to those who believe that 9/11 was an inside job. As for becoming certifiably nuts at the age of 70, I would have thought someone name-jacked here if all the other telltale signs were not so visible.

Reading the above about McCain's "mental instabililty" is so Progressive/Socialist in its propaganda. The guy has been a Senator for what, like 25 years? His "mental state" wasn't an issue until he got the nomination.Before this, he was known as a Senator who could reach across the aisle to get legislation passed. I don't think Hillary will be reaching anywhere, and Fauxbama has no record to judge from. Questioning McCain's mental stability is pretty much propaganda and logic from the anti-universe(other wise known as OlbyWorld). With the economy going through a natural cycle(what comes up, must come down) everyone knows that either Clinton or Obama will destroy the economy with their "plans". Socialist income redistribution and pork spending during a natural downturn will throw us into a DEPRESSION during the economic correction. McCain says he doesn't know much about economics, but that said, even he knows the cycle has to run its course to re-align itself for further growth. As for McCain's temper, he's passionate, reminds me of Teddy Roosevelt(Bull Moose). TR got things done, to me the greatest thing being setting up the National Park system. The guy gave a speech with a bullet in his chest. I see McCain as a guy cut from the same cloth. The cloth on the other side is an empty suit and an empty pantsuit...I say McCain has already won, but the Democratic convention will be a beautiful thing to behold. The Orange Oracle will be leaving one hell of an orange ring in the bathtub for the next 9 months. Karma's a bitch................

TR left the GOP because his truculence against corporate rule in America made him a pariah in his own mercenary party. He instituted harsh estate taxes and anti-monopoly/anti-corporate legislation that only recently have been eroded by the right wing through their self-serving fantasies of "free trade".

Teddy was a strong progressive with fierce democratic principles; McCain is a bitch for lobbyists. Where are the similiarities?

If Hillary wins most of the remaining states and if Illinois and FLA get to vote again this will be one big mess at the end, so lets not give it to Obama yet.

And Oblermann's argument was since Hillary lost Texas then she should drop out, if he was impartial he wouldn't be suggesting that.

WASHINGTON - President Bush said Saturday he vetoed legislation that would ban the CIA from using harsh interrogation methods such as waterboarding to break suspected terrorists because it would end practices that have prevented attacks.

\"The bill Congress sent me would take away one of the most valuable tools [TORTURE] in the war on terror,\" Bush said in his weekly radio address taped for broadcast Saturday. \"So today I vetoed it,\" Bush said. The bill provides guidelines for intelligence activities for the year and includes the interrogation requirement. It passed the House in December and the Senate last month.

\"This is no time for Congress to abandon practices [TORTURE] that have a proven track record of keeping America safe,\" the president said.

Angry Boeing Supporters Target McCain
Mar 8, 9:44 AM

By MATTHEW DALY
WASHINGTON (AP) - Angry Boeing supporters are vowing revenge against Republican presidential candidate John McCain over Chicago-based Boeing's loss of a $35 billion Air Force tanker contract to the parent company of European plane maker Airbus.

But Boeing supporters in Congress are directing their wrath at McCain, the Arizona senator and nominee in waiting, for scuttling an earlier deal that would have let Boeing build the next generation of Air Force refueling tankers. Boeing now will miss out on a deal that it says would have supported 44,000 new and existing jobs at the company and suppliers in 40 states.

>What is amazing in story after story in every comment section, there are always many that say, “I hope Keith covers this” I know I say that here all the time. But even though it is a credit to Keith that we count on him, I sometimes wonder if he feels the weight of us. Does it bother him to have the “burden” of being the only one (or one of the few) to report the truth and expose these lies?

You gotta love it. Thank god he's so willing to carry so much weight for the left. lol

How could obama be any more to the left? Checked his voting record? He's right there with Ted the murderer Kennedy. Not far enough left for you?

Well, as Factor correctly pointed pout, he is far too cozy with some of the giant corporations that view Americans as their God-given serfs. He needs to start promising to fight the extortive conglomerate monopolies that rule our lives, and proposing democratic policies that encourage small, local entreprenuerism and sensible federal social programs that do away with predatory blights like the health in surance industry.

followed by a slow and painful casteration to prevent any future rk jrs.

Too late! A fine boy he is. Thanks for asking.

McCain scares the crap out of Democrats, they know in their hearts that many of them are going to vote for him. Shhhhh!

"I don't think Olbermann is an example of mental health. I don't think O'Reilly is, either. To be sure, Clinton has a terrible temper. So? What does that have to do with McCain? Is Olbermann running for president? Is, God forbid, O'Reilly? Is (Bill) Clinton, for that matter?"

Ah gee, If Hillary does get the White House, is Bill just going to stay up in Harlem at his office for 4/8 years? And not be involved in any.....say decisions????

Damn your dense! Ding! Fries are done!

"I am not one of your dense groupies, Johnny."

Your right! your not. Just some single digit.......you know the word.

"Too late! A fine boy he is. Thanks for askin"

I just hope you'll see to it that this one gets a college education. If his knowledge base is equivelent to his father he is going to have a rough time in the world, digging ditches and what not.

That was a low blow, i'm going to take that back and add an apology RK.

It's being reported that MSNBC will cancel Tucker Carlson's show.
Tucker's show was boring and I'm not surprised.
Those on the left are begging for Schuster or Maddow to take over. That's all we need is more ultra liberals or ultra conservatives on our TV, making us look stupid to the rest of the world.

The problem with Maddow is, she'll just be another bomb throwing liberal like Keith.
They won't attract a new audience, they'll just be preaching to the converted.
If Obama get elected and since we have a Democratic congress, who will Keith attack for half of his show?

I hope MSNBC does a show like PBS's NOW or something along those lines.

****crickets****

This place sure has gotten boring since they banned half of the posters.

Now the Dems are for no bid military contracts that rip off the tax payer. As always, anything to gain power.

Hello I am from Murfreesboro, Tennessee but I married a man from France in Atlanta and now I live in France. Not Paris France, but out in the boonies down south. Hardly anyone speaks a word of English here and I can't learn French to save my damn life. I have tried. What I wanted to say was that the French had elctions here on Sunday when they should of been in church as if they ever are. I wasn't either but it would have been in Frenc so why? Anyway, these were the local elections for what they call the mairies, but the socilaists gotthe most votes because Sarkozy can't keep his pecer in his pants just like Guiliani and Thompson and Mc Cain. So get use to it folks. Voters are tired of mn who can't keep their peckers in their pants so Mc Cain is going to loose.

I went to school with a woman named Rachel Maddow but she married a Maddow and her name was Sinclair. RAchael Sinclair. I don't suppose they're the same.

Why are all the other threads closed? Is this a rip off site? I was just getting started but if this is some kind of fraud I don't want to participate.

This place sure has gotten boring since they banned half of the posters.

WAS IT OR PRONO?

I've got to go fix dinner now or as they say in France dinner so good night. We're not having snails like my motyher always joks, ~What kind of snails tongiht?~ She thinks t hat's way funny. Anyway, as they say, tomorow, tommorow ----------------

Vicki must be 'rudy ramirez's' sister. Which would maker philby's cousin, jennifers aunt.....

Spitzer better be all three WPITW tonight, or does his (D) get him a a pass in Olby world. Keith will probably say this is just about sex and not get out of the bathtub.

Sad to see yet again MSNBC lurch further left. I am no big fan of Carlson, but Gregory is a left wing lunatic..they'll lose for viewers from this move for certain.

I wonder how DoucheBag spins this Spitzer mess tonight...straight reporting or will this somehow be the fualt of some "right-winger" somewhere in Wyoming?

Go to fucken hell Olbermann

LMAO,,,the DUmmies at the DUmp are already thinking this Spitzer business is NSA blackmail

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x2983260

Gotta wonder if DoucheBag latches on to this line of lunacy?

Since Spitzer is a Democrat, I'm betting Keith will defend him.

Ah but don't forget he's a Democrat who's strongly backing Clinton. Maybe Olby will twist this into a how this damages Hillary theme.

Sptizer Story is a real shocker.

The NY Post had been pretty tough on him with what they called "Dirty Tricks" scandal.

Looks like the biggest trick was uncovered by the Old Gray Lady.

As painful as it sounds, KUDOS to the NY Times.

It's just hard to believe that law enforcement is still wasting resources on prostitution.

They ought to legalize it, as well as legalizing most recreational drugs.

Adults should have the right to throw their lives away on useless and potentially fatal personal vices, if they are reckless enough to chose that path. The rationale for continued criminalization of this stuff, is now more "nanny-state" oriented rather than puritanism oriented.

Wow, could it be the fact sptzy is a (d) that all the usual suspects aren't here making there usual rants? I think that would be a very safe bet.

According to Bob, "all the usual suspects" were merely two to three people posting anonymously and under nom dur jours.

The site has exorcised. Please don't summon back the "entities"... :D

Posted by: johnny dollar at March 10, 2008 4:03 PM

I think J$ is correct. This is too big a story for even Olbermann to put a muzzle on. I would guess he will use the story to club Hillary over the head since the Spitz is one of her supporters. I am sure he will some how smear St. Rudy with this story.
I see all the Olbyloons who always rejoyce at every Republican scandle have slinked off back to the Kos echo chamber.

Don't forget the favorite standbys on OlbyPlanet. It's a federal rap, so blame it on Rove. Oh wait, he's gone. Then it must be Gonzales. Nope, he's not there either. Well it's Bush's dirty tricks somehow. And Keith, don't forget to question the timing!

I am sure Olby will find away to insert Larry Craig's name into the story several times also. Remember, on Olby planet we must justify bad behavior with bad behavior.

The leftist apologists are starting already....my favorite is that Spitzer was simply affected by the power and his testosterone!.....I wonder if Spitzer came up with sympathetic theories regarding his targets as AG over his many years....

The law is the law....and when the law says it is wrong to lie under oath, obstruct justice, solicit prostitution, molest children, publically elicit sexual activity, smoke marijuana, sell crack cocaine, steal money at the point of the gun or on the spread sheet, or ignore safety regulations...the reason for breaking them are always the same....

People think they can (or should) get away with it.....and that is always man's problem with making the right choice.....

The sympathy factor towards people who have fallen and is always what intrigues me as a political observer.

5:44 was me....oh....and as a conservative poltical observer, I am happy about the timely distraction AND the fact that democrats have to face the fact that such a superstar in their party was a sexual deviant.....

Spitzer was caught in a Federal WIRE TAP!!!! I think I found Olby's angle. Bush used one of his ILLEGAL WIRE TAPS!! to catch the Spitz. I am sure Olby is hard at work on one of his Spechual Komment. I wonder how many 1984 references there will be?

I've read that Spitzer is a "super delegate".

Maybe David Schuster's statement said the Clinton's were pimping out Chelsea is more true than we realize... :D

Let's all keep in mind how Olby flogged the Larry Craig story. And don't forgetSenator Vitter and his "slut" wife. All the gleeful cackling with Maddow et al over their travails. Let's watch and see if there's the same sort of celebratory atmosphere on tonight's Hour of Spin.

Previous posters are correct: If Olby even covers the Spitzer story, he will accuse the feds of an illegal wiretap, framing the gov or entrapment. Olby will tell us that the guv's apology was forced! We will probably get to see The Perfessor drone on about Spitzer having his constitutional rights violated and that this is an attempt by the Bush administration and the GOP to distract the nation from the heated Dem primary race. Same Olbyspin, different day.

Spitzer is expected to resign - appropriately, given the current political climate regarding such things. Deviant? was there randon male bathroom sex involved? Were there diapers and baby-talk, ala Vitter? Any underage male or female pages? I had not heard any such details - just a report of some very expensive illegal professional sex; a bad idea for a high-profile public servant. Se la Vie and don't let the screen-door hit ya, Elliot.

Hey Phari-cee, What about the discussion you fled on multiple times on Friday regarding your fetish/president's thralldom to the Saudis? Come up with any angles yet?

Sarkozy can't keep his pecer in his pants just like Guiliani and Thompson and Mc Cain.

Posted by: Vicki Sigourney at March 10, 2008 1:15 PM

Funny, not a (d) on the list! Not to mention the most recent.

Was it just me or was Mrs. Spitzy actually smiling during the press conference? She more than likely has known all along and was probably taking part. Maybe he was "forcing" her to take part........

Trust me- the Spitzer story is too hot to spin, even for the most partisan of dem hacks. At least the Gov. saw the writing on the wall and didn't drag the scandal thru denial after denial (cue the Clinton - Lewinsky audio tape).

He is probably the most power corrupted Governor in the country. His indictments were excedingly more flamboyant as he grew stronger as an Attorney General... and as more corporations settled out of court, he became more confident in his back stabbing. He felt he was untouchable. Oops.

Be you a republican or a democrat- power corrupts. At least this may curb the actions delusional loons that love to throw stones from their glass house.

He grandly announced the busting of two prostitution rings and the retreated the stage to text his "ho". Classic hypocrisy~!

Sorry slob- you found no Larry Craig apologists here! But you certainly did find many loons cutting and pasting links incriminating only republicans. Spare me - Craig and Spitzer are both scum, but lets not pretend both parties don't have their share of deviants.

From huffpo:

While Mr. Spitzer refused to elaborate on his comment, he added for emphasis, "I've been screwed and it's cost me a lot."

Let's all keep in mind how Olby flogged the Larry Craig story. And don't forgetSenator Vitter and his "slut" wife. All the gleeful cackling with Maddow et al over their travails. Let's watch and see if there's the same sort of celebratory atmosphere on tonight's Hour of Spin.

Posted by: johnny dollar at March 10, 2008 6:29 PM

My guess would be the atmosphere at Countdown will be celebratory with a little CYA caveat at the end.

After the joyful gigs to Hillary and to Republicans over wiretaps and hypocrisy, then I think we'll see the same attitude on Countdown that I just observed on Hardball, i.e. a quick caveat from Olbermann that this is just all so distasteful....

On Hardball, after the panel discussion about Spitzer's own highly-paid version of "superdelegates", Chris Matthews heaved a sigh said, "Well, that's over".

It's just so so so so... difficult to talk about the "private lives" of progressives and party girls... Even when it involves a multimillion dollar crime ring...

I didn't see the press conference, but she's probably pleased as punch that Mr. Costly Coochy has "gotten his" in the way he deserves... :D

John Gibson loses his job and Tucker Carlson does as well.. what a wonderful day.. =)

The best thing about Tucker going is the hack gregory gets his gig. That means we won't have to listen to him asking the stupidest badgering questions known to man at white house press conferences.

ohn Gibson loses his job and Tucker Carlson does as well.. what a wonderful day.. =)

Posted by: Bill O'lielly at March 10, 2008 8:00 PM

I hadn't heard that about Gibby. I'm really sorry to hear that.

Tonight, expect a terse statement of near fact from Olby about Spitzer. Whenever a beloved party member in good standing is caught red handed, Olby plays it close top the vest and quick. He may even rely on a pre-packaged report. No "you LIED Sir" or "you are a HYPOCRTIT sir!" Just the barest quickest glossing over and on to business as usual for Krazy Keith. It's at times like this when Keith shows his true partisanship.

...statement of near fact...

Posted by: KfK at March 10, 2008 8:08 PM

hahahaha!

I haven't heard about Gibby losing his job either. He's still on the Fox News web site.

The orange faced hack downplays it then makes a joke! Shocker!

MSNBC is airing a second hour of Olbytard at 10 p.m., according to TVNewser.

http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/

Let the indoctrination begin.

"I hadn't heard that about Gibby. I'm really sorry to hear that."

He hasn't been fired..his show is just been temporary replace by election coverage,,this is just wishful thinking.

Here's what O'Lielly (an apt alias) is referring to: Gibby and Nauert were not fired or canceled; Fox News election coverage will continue during the 5 p.m. hour throughout the campaign. Gibby and Nauert will have roles during the broadcast. So O'Lielly is wrong (as usual).

http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/fnc/americas_election_hq_to_continue_indefinitely_79470.asp#more

GMTA, mlong!

Yeah.. I guess they just do not think enough about Gibsons' journalistic abilities to keep his job. Now if you want him to give self tanning lessons to Johnny and Edgar Winter that he is qualified for.

Same thing that happened with Tucker--replaced by an hour of election coverage.

Oh, by the way, this thread is now closed!
