"COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN" (8:00 P.M.-9:00 P.M. ET)
Host: Keith Olbermann
Topics/Guests:
At long last, the final opening spiel of the week: Game Over! Gas tax holiday flap! The race to visit the lunatic fringe [Ding!] (i.e. Fox)! War for oil! Coultergeist! It's casual Friday at Olbermann Watch!
#5: Gas in Guam. Two super delegates split. Uh-oh, problem with the teleprompter. "A short time ago the NY Democrat getting the support of a current DNC member from [awkward pause]." He never finished the sentence. Incredible! Olby is struck dumb when the teleprompter malfunctions. And he's the next Edward R Murrow, right?
Hillary "inflating" Tuesday's primaries to a "game changer". Oralmann wanted to know when people would demand she drop out, but the Wolffe Man simpered that it's regarded as "unseemly". Passing reference to "the latest polling" without any numbers or even hints at how they're going. He was not Great Thanksed.
Stop the tivo! This cannot go without a special intra-recap edition of Dogs That Did Not Bark. We documented it on Monday. We documented on Wednesday. And again today, Herr Olbermahn pulls the same sleazy trick: spikes poll results that show problems for Obama. We ask, could there be any more devastating poll numbers than the ones that came out today? 58% say Obama's criticism of his ex-pastor was merely for political expediency. 56% say Obama shares some of Wright's beliefs, beliefs that only 7% of respondents approve. Needless to say, none of this was reported on The Hour of Spin. None of it! And don't try to tell us Oralmann doesn't trust Rasmussen, historically the most accurate political polling company, because Krazy Keith has cited their polls dozens of times when it suited his purposes. What a slovenly political hack!
Hill wants Congress to line up behind her gas tax proposal. Oh no, she used a phrase once used by George Bush! "Are you with us or against us?" "Post 9/11 garbage!" "Pandering!" "Pandering!" Keith pimped out Lefty Alter who performed his assigned function as a talking Xerox machine ("Pander!" "Panderer!").
After a comedian [Ding!] came #4: How dare Hillary go on "right-wing" [Ding!] O'Reilly? This is the envy segment. Fox is a "network that still insists the Clintons were responsible for a murder" (OlbyLie). It's the "vast right-wing conspiracy", and Hillary is embracing it! (Um, Obama did that two weeks ago. Howard Dean is doing it Sunday. Unmentioned by Krazy Keith.) Orally! [Ding!] Comedian! [Ding!] Sid Blumenthal spreads links to stories from "right-wing fringe groups" [Ding!] like National Review and The Weekly Standard (Blue Blog Source: HuffPo). Oh man, it would be great if Fat Ass were to bring on Rachel Maddow from Err America to talk about how National Review is a right-wing fringe outfit. Apparently (s)he was not available, so far-left Robinson filled in, saying these are the sites you go when you want to get "slime". More complaints about going on Fox, but Robby pointed out, hey, there are Democrats and Independents watching Fox (more than either of the other two news channels, though Robby didn't elucidate that point). In other words, he told Olby: "Duh!" He was not Great Thanksed.
#3: This is the traditional spot for the nightly McCain attack, right? Bingo! Let's all sing along: "Blood for oil, we know there's a link. You say Code War, we say Code Pink!" Aha, Maddow shows up after all. Tonight the comedian is playing a geo-political petroleum expert. By the way, did we mention that (s)he works for Err America? Good thing Mr Merlot doesn't rely on any of those evil "fringe outfits". It's another McCain gaffe! Maddow was Great Thanksed, the first one of the evening. Aww, it seems like we've made a Love Connection.
#2: plug for #1. #1: Bush lied, lied, and was lying. Yep, it's the intro to yucks with ex-funnyman Richard Lewis, for, what, the third time in two weeks? Lame-o.
In the Media Matters MInute, Herr Olbermann attacked Mr Bill (Blue Blog Source: newsliars), Ben Stein (Blue Blog Source: Carpetbagger Report), and worst: Coulter (Blue Blog Source: Hillary Clinton's Media Matters). Fat Ass was particularly dense on this last one, apparently blissfully unaware that Coulter has been campaigning against McCain for some time now. But then, Media Matters didn't tell him that, so how would he know?

If it's Friday, it's our weekly assessment of Krazy Keith's masculinity. This week, Monkeymann attacked Fox and other broadcasters 32 times. Olby's source (Hillary Clinton's Media Matters) criticized (MS)NBC 10 times, but Keithy protected his corporate masters with zero criticisms. That makes this week's Olbermann Manhood Quotient: -84 [pansy limp].
Tonight's MisterMeter reading: 3 [GUARDED]
And that's The Hour of Spin for this, the 725th day since the declaration that "Karl Rove will in fact be indicted".

lol-
I can always hope that MSNBC permanently turns off Olby's teleprompter so he shuts his yap on air for good. It is hilarious that he is stymied when it malfunctions.
"Pansy limp!"........Comedy Gold! Sums up countdown comedy show and it's puppet.
I don't get the attraction of Richard Lewis. A coke-fiend who makes fun of Bush for his drug rumors? It's like MSNBC said "OK, Olbermann said some dumb things for 50 minutes, let's bring on this comedian to finish it up."
I should switch my nickname to Dreadfully Sorry.
Its priceless watching the Orange headed chimp vapor lock when the tele-prompter stops!
Olby did an "impression" of Ann Coulter on Friday. He used the 21st century valley girl accent, which does not work very well because she does not talk that way.
Nice try, Olby!
I would like to see Coulter put in charge of Keith's teleprompter for one show like on anchorman. Keith might actually gets some viewers that night. What a wonderful night it will be when Obamanation is on the Factor. Hopefully Keith won't make an appointment with the bath tub that night.
"Keith pimped out Lefty Alter who performed his assigned function as a talking Xerox machine".
Johnny, I don't think I've ever seen it expressed that way.
Damn, that is funny!
Grammie
Just how bad will KO feel when his man Obama goes on O'Reiily and those ratings go through the roof for the Factor like Hillary's interview did?
And to rub it in an Obama/O'reilly interview will receive more attention in the MSM then the one he did...which no one remembers...new "Murrow" indeed. LOL!!!
If Obama is smart, he will go on O'Reilly. I don't think B. Hussein has the guts.
Obama is ready to sit down with America's enemies, but won't sit down with O'Reilly.
What a regular riot...Alice !
Although I will not vote for Hillary, she came up a notch or two in my book by finally speaking to O'Reilly.
Ans I must say another thing... She would make a much better president than Obama. Obama has zilch in the experience department.

It's time for Obama to catch a bunch of softballs from Tim Russert. Maybe I'm being prematurely judgmental. Naaaaah!
Russert already let B. Hussein tap dance around the first question about Rev. Wright. He's been talking for a minute and has not answered the question about how Wright has hurt his campaign. FLIP!
OK, so it's a train wreck and I had to look: B. Hussein is talking about snippets of Rev. Wright. Yeah, white people were confused, Obama. Mmm-hmm. We didn't understand what the "the US of KKKA" meant because we are members of the segregated white church. It took you nearly two months to publicly admit that Wright is a racist tool. Obama just said that the recent Wright meltdown was "politically uncomfortable" for him.
Obama says he is committed to his church, not his pastor, despite the fact that he says Wright helped convert him to Christianity. Who is Obama kidding? If my parish priest began ranting insanely I would be petitioning the diocese to replace him or find a new parish ASAP. People do not listen to that kind of hate and political bombast in a church service because they are committed to one specific church; I think they would take action and not just tolerate that kind of hate speech. We are not stupid, Barry. I see through your lies.
Russert in a blue dress interview for sure.
NBC News ObamaHeadquarters@30 Rock
Obama hedges on air strikes within Iran to stem insurgent attacks on US soldiers in Iraq. He says Iran is stronger because the US invaded Iraq. Says we need to pull troops out of Iraq in order to "recalibrate" the US's position in the region, namely to repair our tattered image abroad. Our strategic posture is weak, he says.
OK, so if we surrender, then the Islamofascists will like us. Is that even the point? O-kay...
He wants to reward Iran for not blowing up our brave troops abroad? What? Oh no, he wants to call the UN to help prevent a genocide if the US pulls out. Oh Lord, save us from this idiot.
He did not definitively say we would help defend Israel if it is attacked by Iran, but said we would not tolerate that type of attack. Huh? He said we need to send clear signals to Iran, but we need to stop "Cowboy Diplomacy".
Iran is kiiling are boys and that's OK with Obama.
The amazing thing about Iran is that they will have no stomach for an invasion. The cakewalk is actually in Iran.
Russert with a blue dress, blue dress, blue dress; Russert with a blue dress on...
It looks as if Russert is going to confront him with the latest poll info (which is not good news for Barry), then he pivots and changes the subject. Smooth move, Tim.
Howard Dean is a kook and a loon. He says on Fox News Sunday that mentioning the Rev. Wright incident is racist. He also says that the Dems love Fox News viewers now because they want to reach them with a message. He now claims it was right for Dems to boycott debates and interviews on Fox because the news department is biased. Gee Howie, what made you change your tune? The fact that Obama can't get a majority of the voters he needs to win, and those folks happen to watch Fox?
LOLOLOL. You poor Dems. Flip-flop flip-flop flip-flop. I love watching your party implode. I will have enough popcorn for when Hill is selected as your candidate during the convention because FL and MI will be seated and the supers think B. Hussein is kryptonite.
Philly: "Howard Dean is a kook and a loon."
Yea, yea, yea.....You've made it sufficiently clear that EVERYONE who disagrees with your narrow little worldview is "a kook and a loon."
Philly: "Obama has zilch in the experience department."
I love that word...."experience".....Hillar has "experience"....McCain has "experience".
Someday, I will understand how more "experience" at making bad decisions is somehow better than less experience at making better ones?
Mike, Mike, Mike: How Dean became DNC chairman after exhibiting such crackpot behavior I will never know. Oh wait, I answered my own question: Dean is a moonbat and as such, exhibits crackpot behavior. Poor desperate Dems. They are grasping at straws to get Obama the nomination ASAP and it shows.
And I did not make the comment you attributed to me in your 6:50 post.
Philly, I am sure that Mike will apologize asap b/c there is nothing in this world that agravates him more than people, now how does he phrase it sometimes, "lying" about what he said and didn't say.
Mike,
Howard Dean once said "I hate the Republicans and all they stand for".
When one states that they hate the other side they are a kook and a loon.
Look for an "out of context" apology.........
This is totally off topic but is absolutely too funny to pass up:

"Weekend Captionfest II"
As funny as that is as a stand alone anyone with a few minutes to spare might want to browse through some of the comments @:

I would think that this would appeal to either side of the aisle.
Rico: "When one states that they hate the other side they are a kook and a loon."
Rico, weren't you the one who seemed to advocate genocide against the muslims a few months back?
While I hammered you for posting that suggestion, I never believed that you REALLY believed that....but if you do, you would clearly be a "kook and a loon" in my book.
By the same token, I don't believe Howard Dean hates individual republicans for their views any more than I do, but he might just have good reason to "hate" the republican party in general for the way it has taken America so far afield from our traditional values the last several years (just as I do).
Philly: As long as you keep labeling people for the terrible crime of believing differently that you do with stupid monikers such as "crackpots, loons, moonbats, etc.", you show your undeniable immaturity and you loose ALL credibilty.
You have done almost nothing on thei blog but insult and condescend to anyone who dares express ideas you find disagreeable.
It's as if you REALLY believe that you have stumbled on to some sort of universal absolute truth about humanity and all of us who have different ideas have some kind of mental deficiency, and IF that us the case, that puts you far deeper in the loony camp than those you are labeling.
That said, I apologize for attributing that comment to you earlier that you didn't make.
Mike: I express my opinion the same way everyone else does here. It is not my fault that loons do not tolerate opinions not in line with their own and I am forced to defend my position. I don't plan on changing any time soon.
Mike,
You are comparing Republicans vs. Democrats to Infidels vs. Islamic terrorists?
I can't say I am surprised by that.
I believe mikeh has referred to Bush as a terrorist and a murderer, so, he probably thinks all (R)'s are terrorists and murderers based on the fact they voted for the war. All (d)'s get a free pass, though....:)
Philly, I think it is absolutely hillarious for Mike to accuse anyone else of:
"You have done almost nothing on thei blog but insult and condescend to anyone who dares express ideas you find disagreeable.
It's as if you REALLY believe that you have stumbled on to some sort of universal absolute truth about humanity and all of us who have different ideas have some kind of mental deficiency"
Grammie, it's a moonbat thing. We wouldn't understand.
