Howard Kurtz's extensive piece in today's Washington Post gives a detailed breakdown of the history between MSNBC/Olbermann and Fox/O'Reilly. One intriguing detail is that it was one of Bathtub Boy's gratuitous lies that lit the fuse for this battle royale. And it's one that we here at Olbermann Watch identified and exposed just minutes after it aired. Meanwhile, another article reveals Olby's role in getting Tucker Carlson dumped. Lots of people are seeing Oralmann's true colors today.
In the Post, Howard Kurtz notes that the Olby/O'Reilly feud has escalated to the top levels of management. The reason? Keith lying about Roger Ailes, and A-Mess-NBC letting him get away with it:
In last summer's conversation between Ailes and Zucker -- the two men have known each other since Zucker tapped him as a commentator for the "Today" show in the early 1990s -- the onetime Republican consultant asked whether NBC still cared about the truth. Olbermann had inaccurately called Ailes "the lead political consultant for Rudy Giuliani's presidential campaign." Ailes worked for Giuliani's New York mayoral campaign in 1989, but no evidence has surfaced that he played a role in the presidential bid.Zucker did nothing as a result of the call. "I have never asked Keith Olbermann to tone anything down," he said in a brief interview.
Needless to say, here at Olbermann Watch we tagged that lie as soon as it came out of the chute:
But the "worst person" was John Gibson of "Fox Noise" [Ding!]. The source wasn't a Blue Blog at all; Olby is too cowardly to admit it, but he got the story from right here at Olbermann Watch! Aside from another Olbermann lie (that Roger Ailes is running Giuliani's campaign), the segment was noteworthy because Oralmann didn't even attempt to deny that he helped the Kossacks raise money for their cause. In other words, our exclusive report was right on the money, and has now been confirmed by "Man on Fan" Olbermann himself.
There are a few quesitonable points in Kurtz's piece, while Page Six serves up some new revelations. Who knew Edward R Olbermann is so stuck-up the he refuses to introduce Dan Abrams? Or that he schemed and manipulated to get Tucker's show cancelled?
Olbermann recently encouraged management to oust the cable channel's lone conservative, Tucker Carlson, and it's also no secret among producers that Olbermann refuses to introduce Dan Abrams' show, which follows his own.
Page Six asks if Keith "Man on Fan" Olbermann is on the verge of "another professional meltdown". Weren't they watching? That was Wednesday.
The cowardly, political hack
Stuck a knife in Carlson's back
So instead of Tucker
The orange motherf*cker
Gave balance a kick in the sack
J$ has a nice conversation about this at his place. Excuse me for being lazy but this is what I said there:
" Do my eyes deceive me? Did Ko really say this:
"He and NBC are fair game for O'Reilly, Olbermann says, but "when you start accusing a corporation of murdering Americans, with the thinnest and most ridiculous arguments behind it," it is unfair to GE employees. "
Oh the horror, the humanity of all those GE employees. Perhaps Halliburton and Blackwater can give GE some pointers on how to handle all the angst this is sure to generate at GE.
Of course there be another group in the same perdictament, once KO identifies all those "cold blodded killers" that GWB has unleashed on an unsuspecting world. After all, they must work for someone or something.
I bet KO clangs and clatters when he walks and moves.

Go check out the Kos Kids page. They've started a "support page" for him, completely ignoring the fact that the thing that got it started was their Idol's LYING about Roger Ailes. These are the same people who complain about the "lies" of Fox news mind you.
Keith's a loose marble on a warped floor.
He jokes about Howard Beals in Network, but this is the Twilight Zone FOR REAL..... and he is now our modern day Howard Beals.
I don't know where he goes from here. Telling the President of the United States to shut the hell up.
How does he "out-olby" himself after the latest disgrace?

Brandon, good to see you here again. I hope things are going better for you and yours.
A promo for Countdown states that Olbermann's Speshul Komment has the right in an uproar and watch tonight for his reponse (something to that effect).
"watch tonight for his reponse...."
Oh joy....More hatred and venom from Olbermann.....I pity the person doing the recap today.
"Go check out the Kos Kids page. They've started a "support page" for him"
Link please!
Speaking of links, here is the Mike Stark "stalking" story referenced by Kurtz. In case you missed it, Stark went around O'Reilly's neighborhood handing out copies of Andrea Mackris' claims against O'Reilly and festooning the neighborhood with anti-O'Reilly signs. If you read the comments you'll find it was even too much for some of the Kossacks.

Keith was critical of Stark, a past guest on Countdown. Given that Keith's new digs on the upper west side were reported in the newspapers, he may have had more than a dash of self-interest in mind.
Is an October surprise coming? Personally, I think B. Hussein and Miserable Marxist Michelle O. will destroy their campaign long before then, but it's nice to know that the GOP is preparing Plan B.

Actually, this is the second or third blog entry I've read about this. I'll believe it when I see it.
A very very bad night for Olby...
1) Forced to retract his special comment....Blames it on the copy boy.
2) Forced to air the Bush interview with Engel. But the Bush-Engel heads-up is not good enough. He has to get (sorry ladies, but I'm quoting Paulie Walnuts) cunty and inject his sorry-ass point of view as an interpreter for his stupid ass leftist worshippers.
3) Has to defend his NY Post Page 6 antics....Well what was that noise, Fat Ass? Can you explain that? What about the look on David Gregory's face. The man is a baldfaced liar.
THEN...his Nuclear Option.....Opens a TWO-FRONT War of words with Levin and Laura I.
Olby is a loose marble on a warped MSLSD floor.
The Despicable one never ever fails us.
