"COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN" (8:00 P.M.-9:00 P.M)

Host: Keith Olbermann

Topics/Guests:

• HISTORIC NOMINEE: Obama campaign propaganda segment!
• ELECTORAL MATH: Chuckie and an abacus
• THEY LIED! Nightly McCain/McSame attack!
• KEITH PWNZ BILLO

Obama propaganda segment about lobbyists! John McCain attack about how he loves lobbyists! Electoral map vis a vis Chuckie! Administration lies! Shocking news on Olbyplanet! You know when the "worsts" segment makes the opening spiel is that Keith is truly out of things worth saying. Yawn.

#5: Obama has campaign finance rules that placate the loony left. Senator Obama makes rules about "lobbyist rules." Clinton attack. Something about seeking the VP slot. DNC is to adopt Obama policies which means that the DNC won't accept money from federal lobbyists and PACs. Otherwise, "a major change in how Washington works..." Clip of Obama and propaganda. Jim Webb (Lunatic - VA) propaganda moment. You see, the loony left is convinced that if they put a sexist, populist loony tune on the Democratic ticket that they'll somehow carry Virginia. They forget that Bush won virginia by 8.5% in 2000 and 2004. Anything is possible. But, one last note, I believe Jim Webb won his senate seat by oh....9,000 votes. Webb, of course, would never had won his seat if it were not for Allen's uh.....incompetence. I digress. New York congregation is angry. Zing! Bring in Milby who brings himself on behalf of the "entire party." Talk about a candid admission! I have to say that is the furthest one of Oralmann's guests have ever gone.

Question time: Has everyone backed off Hillary being the VP nominee? Well...kind of....states Milby. Alas, Mr. Splashy Couture concedes that it will be some time before a serious concession speech. He realizes there were no policy differences, rather personality. Subtle McCain attack! Lobbyist money! Obama supposedly won't take lobbyist money! Milby brings in reality that lobbyist money is only !% of the revenue. For shame not towing the loony party line, Milby! Olby plug about himself and Chris Matthew's Leg hosting something. Great thanks.

Obama will change the country. Glamour shot of Obama. Chris Kofinis (admittedly a John Edwards communications member) plays softball. Did Obama play one of the greater upsets in modern electoral history? Kofinis speaks of the "zeet-geist" (is that um, the zeit-geist (aka zeitgeist! Heil Olbermann!)) regarding the "new direction" amongst the 'average day people.' Obama is amazing blah blah blah. Money. Caucus states. Governor Dean blah. No more evil big dollar donors. Should send chill down Republican party bigwigs' backs.

#4: Electoral map. Barack Obama on OlbyPlanet totally pwnz this area. Huffington Post regurgitation on how Obama can pick up on al those (via that 50 state strategy that has been brilliant) Republican states. Bring in Chuckie to play with the abacus. Obama might have a landslide. Chuckie is surprisingly honest for a Olbersturmfuhrer's program. Just a pleasure.

Bushed! Idol-gate (there's a new one): they didn't want the President on there thanks to HuffnPuff. The "Dear God the Republicans act as if judicial appointments matter-gate!" (thanks grist!. The biggest evil, Appeasement-gate! Show the inherent DailyKos teeth mocking website picture! Chuck Hagel (Loony wanna be Dem-NE) at the WSJ.

Prince von Anhalt will vote for John McCain or something. Wannabe Spiderman with snarky comment! Supposedly, he was looking for one fact in a Bill Kristol column! Har har har! tres original! I look for one iota of truth in a deadbeat Olbermann show nightly!

#3: Bush lied, people died. Yawn. Richard Clark, the latest Olby pupil in the vein of Scott McClellan and John Dean. Fat Ass tries to explain why the media supported the war. Apparently they were just "too trusting." It was just a "patriotic rallying." Clark suggests this was still about 9/11. The funny part is, I don't recall anything the President or his lackeys said was about 9/11. It was all about the potential threat that Iraq presented in the long term. But you know what? That is totally irrelevant and never happened in Iraq. It was all just an evil disaster. Impeachment! Olby hopes! On and on! The war was garbage and how did they manage to sell us? Great pleasure.

#2: In the Media Matters minute, TalkingPointsMemo hits a Republican. John McCain attack, HuffNPuff. Winner? Rupert Murdoch via Gawker. Newscorpse! [Ding!] Really lousy Australian accident!

#1: Unity in the Democratic party: Comedian Stacy Grenrock Woods......zzzzzzz.

I caught 2 moments that I thought were notable.

First, during the top segment and Keith talking about uniting the Democratic Party, Keith said, "fingers crossed" in regards to the hope of unity. Just another moment where people can point to Cheerleader Keith when they complain that he hosts straight news instead of his spin show.

Second, when he was talking with Richard Clarke about, whatever they were talking about, Clarke said something about the "Republicans in the Senate that voted for it" meaning the bill to authorize the war. Well, the vote for the bill "Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002" in the Senate was 77-23, with more than half of the Democrats voting for it.

"Lobbyist money! Obama supposedly won't take lobbyist money!"

A lie.....

"Barack Obama declared that 'my party' will not take money from lobbyist PACs. However, the lobbyist ban apparently doesn’t apply to personal donations from lobbyists, as Obama’s campaign has proven repeatedly during the primaries. The ban on PAC donations also doesn't apply to Obama’s party:

"The Obama campaign confirms that two other arms of the national party - the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee - will continue to accept lobby and PAC money this election. That’s the same position as presumptive Republican nominee John McCain and every affiliate of the Republican National Committee, who all accept lobby and PAC dollars.

"To make this clear, lobbyist PACs will continue to fund the Democratic Party, regardless of what Obama claimed earlier today. That has to be the fastest flip-flop since Hillary Clinton changed position on illegal-alien drivers licenses within 120 seconds last November. Obama clearly intended people to believe that the entire party had orders to turn down these donations, which even they acknowledged was false from the beginning.

"Besides, all that does is redirect lobbyist money from PACs to individuals. While acting holier-than-thou, the Obama campaign has had no problems having big-ticket lobbyists among their bundlers. Two of the top bundlers for his campaign lobby for the oil industry. Obama wants to pretend that that he remains free of influence from lobbyists, but by his own definition of influence, he’s in their pockets already."

I like the opening line from keith " Barak Obama, READY TO LEAD ON DAY ONE, blah blah blah"

Wow did I really use an abacus? I need to stop drinking and watching Olby.

The democrats not only picked the wrong candidate to run against McCain, they now want to make another mistake....

Force HRC on the poor man......

"Poll finds majority of Dems want Obama-Clinton ticket"

This is rich. I wonder why Olbermann's SPECIAL COMMENT regarding the unforgivable RFK gaffe did not make more of an impact on the primary voters?....

Oh yeah, that's right....Olbermann is the voice of the RADICAL wing of the party....the part that is calling all of the shots now....

No way will SNOBamessiah pick HRC....the left would become apoplectic!

What the hell was Chris Kofinis doing on OlbyPlanet? I guess he has to pander to his base. And I also guess I need to realize that just because a lefty appears on FNC doesn't mean they won't also appear on other channels and their shows.

MSNBC put up the Keith quote I mentioned:

OLBERMANN: The party unity that we spoke of on Saturday, and fingers crossed on that regard, given the primary that we‘ve just gone through and witnessed and feels like it took off, you know, an inch of skin off the arm somewhere—how likely is party unity to be in actuality as opposed to simply—something we see on this network on Saturday morning with Chris and me hosting?

fingers crossed?
