I only saw the opening bit where "I didn't mean the troops I meant the troops...I mean the Pentagon" Olbermann tried to explain how Obama now saying he won't take public money is not going back on his word, even though everybody else today said it was. He mentioned Charlie Gibson by name, so maybe he got himself a WPITW.

Do you mean to tell me, Great Thanks, that Olbyonesidedkanoby was defending obama? I'm shocked, stunned and amazed! I wonder if Olbermahn thinks obama will make him press secretary if he wins. They would have to build a special podium to hide his ass. Some kind of space age wrap around type. LOL!!

Hey Olby....newsflash, obama ain't gonna win! He gaffes himself on a daily basis. Even with 80% of the media behind him, obama is still dead even, by most polls with McCain. How pathetic is that? Speaking of polls, where did Olby find that unknown poll he was squaking about last night? What a hack......

Tonight Keith said he wasn't qualified to have Russert's job. I wonder what other MSNBC show he isn't qualified to have...

DISCUSS!

Once again Olby's exploiting Tim
Every night since his death... pretty grim
Keith's one classless hack
Compassion he'll lack
His chance to beat Bill? None and slim

My Recap:

Guests tonight on Olbermann:

Dana Milbank: "Yes Keith, you're right, Obama is brilliant."

Richard Wolffe: "That's correct Keith, you nailed it, McCain was taking dirt out of the sand bags and causing worse flooding."

Jonathon Alter: "Very good Keith, that's exactly what I was thinking. Cindy McCain is a loud mouth bitch."

Howard Fineman: "That's so very true. I can't argue with anything you've said. Russert secretly loved you"

Rachel Maddow: "Spot on Keith, It's like you read my mind. I just wish Michelle Obama was gay."

Worst Person : Bill O'Reilly

WAS I CLOSE?

Before I start let me say I have been watching this SOB since the mid 80's when KO was the local sportscaster for CBS here in So Cal.

A few observations about tonight's show. I just caught his WPITW crap. You want to know when the old hot head is lying and trying to cover his ass? Just watch is reaction when he comes out with both guns blazzen you know what ever he is bring accused of doing by someone "crazy right wing nut" it just has to be true. Take tonight, he was trashing some article in the NYPost that claimed that he and Chrissy "I have a tingle up my leg" Matthews are both going after TMTP job. Outrage yelled Hot Head, how dare anyone accuse him of being ambitious how dare they do such a horrible thing LOL! He makes his statement at the end he says he has never and will never try and get TMTP job he is not "qualified" for the job. That one is to easy I will not go there, but to bad he did not feel the same way when he got the MSNBC job. Anyone else hear about an interview with say Obama back in '04 when he was asked about running in '08? His response "I'm not qualified to be president." Hot Head you are not qualified to be part of the human race, let alone a journalist!

Sorry for any grammar mistakes..=0

David Gregory's show?

Keith actually he wasn't qualified for Russert's job? The NBC brass must have told him that he wasn't going to get it because you know that he thinks he'd be better that Russert.

"John-O wrote: "Tonight Keith said he wasn't qualified to have Russert's job. I wonder what other MSNBC show he isn't qualified to have..."

David Gregory's show?"

Oh come on now are you being saracstic? Trying to make a joke out of what otherwise is a totaly ridiculous comment by Hot Head? 1st he works for the lowest rated calbe station in the country, second under the standard MSNBC set for its so called journalist Paris Hilton could walk in the MSnBC headquaters and they would hire her as their new top reporter.

In the Media Matters Minute, the unfortunate victims of Herr Olbermann's wrath were:
Rupert Murdoch: Sycophants! Radical brand of politics! Australian pirate voice. "You print what Murdoch tells you to print or you're fired." (2x)
"The Sun": Something about Ronaldo falsehoods. Only named because it's "owned by Murdoch!"
Paula Frohelich of "Page Six": How dare she mention Fat Ass and the Drooler were possible MtP replacements. More trouncing on memory of Tim Russert by Oralmann with faux outrage usually reserved for the SEK.

My WPitW recap was written without seeing what Jedi Ryan wrote. I've seen it now.

Perhaps the creep demurred so modestly about being unqualified for MTP to rile up the Koz Kidz to assure him that he is not only qualified but better then Russert could ever have been.

Just a thought.

el doucho knows the writing is on the wall, he will never be considered for m.t.p and has been told as much i'm sure. what he is doing now is pretending he never gave a thought obout the job at all and he is just your humble watchdog who isnt qualified to to be impartial and truthful,,eerrrrr ,,,,, i mean qualified to fill the big shoes of his all of a sudden best, oldest, dearest friend and mentor tim russert. he is the most transparent assh#le on earth.

Even mikeh, one of Olby's loyalest subscribers to his idiocy won't show his face here, anymore. Very telling.

Fat Ass pimped out Russerts demise yet again. At least he didn't bring up his alleged 10 second encounter with Luke. A pre-emptive strike against a column yet to be published. Let's hope they update the column to tweak his ire again.
Is there nothing the Obama campaign can say or do to draw a scintilla of criticism from this partisan hack? All things Democrat =Good. All things Republican=Contemptable. Nothing in between. Keith delivers manure to us nghtly and expects us to eat it up like Thanksgiving dinner.
Also, Olbermann is one of those people that look worse with a fresh harircut.

Obama’s biggest cheerleader the William Shatner of MSNBCTV, Keith, will never have this story on Countdown:

DETROIT, Michigan (AP) -- A young Muslim woman said she and another woman were refused seats directly behind Barack Obama -- and in front of TV cameras -- at a Detroit rally because they wear head scarves.

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/06/18/obama.event.ap/index.html#cnnSTCText

Granted, it was probably all a misunderstanding but if this would have happened to McCain, Keith and his female look-a-like, Rachel Maddow, would have bashed McCain for ten minutes, McCain would been the WPIW and Keith would top off his hour of unbias reporting with one of his overblown, pointless, theatrical special comments.

I wonder when Keith will ever have people he attacks on his show so they can defend themselves? Is he really that scared of Rupert Murdoch?
Until then, he has to be considered the biggest coward in the world.

And he did confirm part of the story on page six of the New York post was true, which means most of it must be true.
The story on page six is crass but Keith and MSNBCTV bring it on themselves.

Another in the long list of muted mongrels:

Haditha Marine prepares to sue Murtha over smear

Congressman had accused soldiers of killing 'in cold blood'

With most of the eight Marines charged in the Haditha, Iraq, incident now exonerated, the highest-ranking officer among the accused is considering a lawsuit against Democratic Rep. John Murtha, who fueled the case by declaring the men cold-blooded killers.

http://wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=67434

All 8 of them will be suing. Rightly so. In regards to Olby, Ware and murtha, they would have been in prison or shot 60 yrs ago for what they did.

Olbermann chastised anyone for attacking Michelle Obama and then literally seconds after that his guest made a joke about Cindy McCain "stealing" a cookie recipe, they cackled and he was great thanksed.

KO's spinning for Obama was really embarrassing. Of course Barry Obama went back on his pledge about public financing.

After tonight there can be no argument that KO is completely in the tank for the Obama campaign.

Countdown is getting to be so predictable that it's a bore. I'm sure that the ratings will start to go down the toilet when people realize that they only have to read Barry's press releases to know what will be on the KO show.

"Federal Election Commitee"??????

"The bride jilted at the alter"??????

So…Keith says he’s not qualified to do Meet The Press.

Interesting….

I didn’t see the show…so I’m curious how this proclamation came about.

Did Wolffe or Maddow tell Keith he would be perfect for the job, and true to his modest little ol’ self declare “ah shucks, I couldn’t do that”…..or did Keith just bring it up out of the blue?

Well, let’s continue with that line. Here’s a few other jobs….out of the blue like….that I don’t think Keith would be qualified nor be able to be trained to do.

1. Endoscope Technician.
2. Truck Tire Inflater.
3. Nose Hair Trimmer Tester.
4. Donut Hole Puncher.
5. Tilt-O-Whirl Repairman.

Someone else brought up the idea that Keith is holding out for the PRESS SECRETARY job for the Obama Administration....

Now that would be a like "MR SMITH GOES TO WASHINTON" Meets "HITCHHIKERS GUIDE TO THE GALAXY"

I have no doubt that KO figures he could do just as well...if not better than Tony Snow.

Hers's a question for you all....what do Tony Snow OR Tim Russert have in common with Kieth Olbermann????.....give up????

ABSO-FREAKIN-LOOTLY NOTHING

I missed the latest show, but loved all the recaps.

Krazy Keith is a loose marble on a warped floor.

I find it interesting how KO keeps using Russert's name to attack other people for his own gain. The most interesting part, in my opinion, is that KO is attacking people for supposedly doing the same thing he did when William F. Buckley died.

Again quoting the wonderful Olivia Munn, "What a D-bag."
