"COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN" (8:00 P.M.-9:00 P.M. ET)
Host: Keith Olbermann
Topics/Guests:
You know you are in the presence of political hackery when the infamous, deplorable Keith Olbermann returns to your screen. The CEO of the humbly-named Olbermann Broadcasting Empire bellowed the opening spiel: Obamarama! More McCain attacks! Fox attack! McClellan redux! Joe McCarthy! The two-day-old ambush video. Orally! [Ding!] Yeah, this is what passes for "news" on MSNBC, and it's a blue Monday at Olbermann Watch.
#5: The price of gas is up. Fawning over the Obama "economic tour". Big oil! [Ding!] Keithy pimped out his special friend Richard Wolffe, who simpered in bobblehead agreement. We'll sum it up for you: Obama's doing everything right, McCain' everything wrong.
On to the "slime machine". Fox Noise! [Ding!] Fox Noise! [Ding!].E.D. Hill is evil because she teased a segment with the fist bump: was it a fist-bump, a pound, a terrorist jab? Of course the segment went on to say it was just a friendly gesture, but Oralmann has to slime E.D. Hill to please his blue blog buffoons. It doesn't matter that Time magazine did the same thing: talked about different ways the gesture was being interpreted, including a terrorist-style jab, before explaining what it is. When Time does it it's OK. When Fox does it, it's eeeevil.
To pile on the attacks Fat Ass pimped out comedian Rachel Maddow, tonight playing a expert in non-verbal communications. Far-right! [Ding!] E.D. Hill is afraid of black people! They're gonna run ads against Obama and he has to get the Clintons to blow them out of the water! This has been a paid political announcement!!
#4: The graphic sez it all: McBush. It's the nightly attack segment. McCain is a liar! Lefty Alter was the designated Pinocchio, who say Republicans "do this" (attack the press, lie, whatever) "all the time".
After Fixed News! [Ding!] came #3: more McClellan! Graphic of Bush & Cheney: "They Lied". Olby cites the Senate Intelligence Committee, but of course people who actually practice journalism know better. Uh oh, Olby is trying to get McClellan to throw someone under the bus [Ding!] but Scottie is measuring his words. Neither one of course actually gives the quotes from the Senate report that the Post, linked above, does. Why do you suppose that is? Here's a hint: remember you are on OlbyPlanet. Rosetta Stone! [Ding!] Oralmann tried three times to concoct a conspiracy to lie, but McClellan refused to bite. Oh well, that's his last appearance on The Hour of Spin. He didn't even get Great Thanksed.
#2: a plug for #1: #1: Merkle's diseased obsession found him cackling over the O'Reilly producer ambush tape that was old news yesterday. But gee, his audience expects it, you know. In the Media Matters Minute, the victims were Brad Blakeman (Blue Blog Source: Daily Kos) and Cavuto (Blue Blog Source: newsliars). Fox Noise! [Ding!] Fixed News! [Ding!] Oralmann had no valid source for at least part of this one so it's possible this was another of his lies. We'll turn it over to the Olbermann Watch Research Division.
And that's The Hour of Spin for this, the 763rd day since the declaration that "Karl Rove will in fact be indicted".
Olbermann is now cheering on his Kos brown shirts to attack O'Reilly at his house because the NY Post let it out of the bag that Olbermann lives at Trump Tower. They didn't post what apartment he lives in and Trump Tower has security guards. How is this any different than the NY Post reporting that such and such celebrity lives in Malibu?
What was up with those "ambushes" of KO? Seriously? He must have been lying in bed last night just WISHING that HE would be lucky and important enough to be ambushed by O'Reilly at some time. How dissapointed must he be right now?

Olby said he's trying to get Moyers on the Hour of Spin tomorrow. Expect more choir-preaching, eeevil O'Reilly bashing, eeevil Fox bashing, eeevil Murdoch bashing, and eeevil Porter bashing. A fun time will be had by all...except for us at OlbyWatch.
Once you click "Submit," it takes a minute for your comment to appear. Don't try to repost if you don't see it right away. I learned that myself shortly after I was registered here.
Sorry. "Worst Person on OW." :-(
Olbermann's #1 story tonight was..... a non-story. It's not newsworthy that a producer from a cable news show confronts a semi-known journalist at some obscure event. But A) he hates O'Reilly and B) it was on the internet. So-
Diseased Olbsession + Red meat from internet = Coundown exposure!
Don't beat yourself up over it, Justin. :)
And John-O, you're right. The Moyers ambush *was* a non-story. If it was an actual story, we would have seen more on "The Factor" than the snippet used in the intro and the 30-second clip in the Body Language segment. There wasn't even much us on "The Radio Factor" today. This is only big to the far-left...or should I say the "lunatic fringe" [ding!]? ;)
I meant to type "used," not "us," in my above comment.
I tell ya, poor ol' Porter really didn't deserve any of this. Keith was pretty nasty to him tonight. Talk about *shooting the messenger*.
Unfortunately, it's what Olbermoronn does best.
"It doesn't matter that Time magazine did the same thing: talked about different ways the gesture was being interpreted, including a terrorist-style jab, before explaining what it is."
Very good journalism Johnny. They're busting E.D. big time over at Hot Air too.
"who simpered in bobblehead agreement"
Priceless!
I hadn't seen the WP editorial, Johnny. Thanks for the link and the blog.
Emperor Olbermann as Dark Helmet is terrific!
Keith's qualifications? Sniffing jocks
He spends half his show dissing Fox
The rest rip and read
Blue blogs to live feed
Olbermahn's like a hack-in-the-box
Wow, when did Olby develop a Canadian accent? "Of Owen Sound Ontariooo". Keep it classy Olby, keep it classy.
Dial the hypocrisy meter up to 11: On January 28, 2008 Mary Katherine Ham Was named WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD! for saying this:
"Well, I think Clinton has a duality. You know, he’s the charming guy, he’s the nice guy, but he’s also a guy who’s prone to eruptions and some falsehoods. You know, he’s like The Incredible Hulk, except he turns sort of purple and blotchy instead of green. But, you know, I think he’s sort of a victim of the — or not a victim, but he’s getting used to the 24-hour news cycle. When he was president, he was not subjected to quite as much scrutiny, and I think he got a lot of passes, and now he’s mad he’s not getting them anymore. "
This of course offended the emperor: http://tinyurl.com/2pmugk

But tonight Alter said this:
Alter: Here's what it is, it's a time warp thing. When he (McCain) last ran for president you could deny having said something and the chances of you getting caught if it wasn't something serious, and this isn't were minimum. Because nobody had access to the tapes, the tapes were in the vaults of the networks
Olbermann: Right.
Alter: Right, right so we assume that youtube had been here and that all of this has been retrievable for two years. So the idea of being able to hold these politicians accountable for something they actually said is in a new dimension. Which makes it much much tougher for these guys to BS.

So they had the internet in 1998 but not in 2000?
I just wonder as most of you do how long he can go on. I know people watch his show but do they actually think that they are learning anything. If you really hate Bush and Cheney and anything republican wouldn't you get tired of him? Talk show hosts do repeat themselves but they have skill, they entertain people and they have millions of people listening everyday. I came back from Europe 6 months ago and turned on the TV and saw olbermann on tv bashing Bush. I thought he was trying to be funny or doing satire. I asked my dad he told me what he was up to. He was ok doing sports, but now I know what he is up to. Great site thanks for this! Owen.
And what's with Olbys assumption that a (poorly mimicked) Austrailian accent ala Rupert Murdoch is 'Pirate speak' with those annoying, ill placed 'Arrrrrgh's ? Does anyone else automatically associate Austrailians with pirates?
Add Australians to the (growing) list of groups and nationalities KO has offended.
Believe it or not, KO's confusion with Ozzies and pirates is they both use the term "mate.":-)
I think that Olbermann will gain viewers for a while. He panders to the "I hate Bush" crowd. In the short term it will be a victory, however, come January, no matter who wins, his show will go down. O'reilly has a better show with varied topics. Olbermann is nothing more than an hour of hate.
Besides O-Reilly who will Olby talk about if Obama wins? I have visions of nightly church services worshiping Obamassiah. Of course Olby will be bashing those non-religious types that refuse to bow down to Obamassiah.
KB,
Olbermann will be the official propaganda spokemans for the Obama regime.
Why doesn't he just call his show, "527 Count Down"?
Keith also panders to the "I hate Fox" and "I hate [insulting nickname for Bill O'Reilly]" crowds.

SO!
