"COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN" (8:00 P.M.-9:00 P.M. ET)
Host: Keith Olbermann
Topics/Guests:
A new Special Education Komment!
Poor Keith has gotten so tangled up in FISA flip-flopping, and the blue blogs are barking at his feet to show even the merest modicum of integrity. So Krazy Legs has had to craft a new Special Education Komment to extricate himself from this morass. He has it all figured out for Senator Obama: an intricate, convoluted miasma of faulty logic and faultier assumptions that no serious Presidential candidate would touch with a ten-foot pole. And yet Oralmann thinks he can convince Barack Obama to embrace this Byzantine twisted-pretzel travesty! The air really is thin on OlbyPlanet.
The comments are open for your instant reactions to "Man on Fan" Olbermann's tangled logic and ginormous ego. But please, be kind. It is not nice to make fun of cretinous simpletons.
Exclusive: dramatic reading of tonight's Special Education Komment by the OlbyRobot:
Poor Keithy thought he was the leader of the Kossacks, but we're about to find out via his "special comment" who is pulling the strings. How humiliating it must be to realize that one's self is actually the bitch of a bunch of 20-somethings living in Mom's basement.
Let this be a lesson to "sticking our finger in the wind" and not having any convictions.
O the tangel web we weave.
I really hope an astute, REAL journalist asks SNOBamessiah about Olbermann's (and Dean's) plan....."Senator, if you become President, will your DOJ pursue criminal charges against the same telcoms you voted 'yea' regarding civil protection?"
What a joke Olbermann has become. He just is incapable of being intellectually honest now....it is no longer a function his brain is capable of performing!
Poor, poor Howard Beale!
VERO POSSUMUS!.......http://tinyurl.com/5e8taq
Olby and the Wolffeman are discussing Wuss Clark's idiotic and disparaging comments about McCain's military service. Wolffeman said Clark's comments were "ham-handed", and said that one could question McCain's service as a campaign issue.
B. Hussein and his surrogates are the gifts that keep giving for the McCain campaign. Obambi knows how to lose voters and alienate Independents. OMG, Chris Cilizza says that Obama's remembrances of his grandfather's war experience is an important part of the story of B. Hussein Obama and prove his patriotism. Chris, if you don't detach your lips from Obama's butt soon, they might get stuck there (if they are not already). Chris and Olby belong together.

It's not about honesty
It's about ego and agenda
Cee: What a joke Olbermann has become. He just is incapable of being intellectually honest now.....it is no longer a function his brain is capable of performing."
If what you're saying were true, I would say he probably took lessons from YOU, however, you couldn't be any farther from the truth.
nor could YOU....someone who has shown yourself perfectly willing to post an outright LIE about taxation rates simply to embellish your own political position, and then claim the "degree" of taxation isn't really what is important when called on your lie....be trusted to recognize real intellectual honesty when you see it!
BTW Cee, Obama is showing us how to take the high road. Since YOU are a virtual poster boy for taking the low road, maybe even YOU can learn something by observing someone who personifies integrity.
High road? SNOBamessiah? Ok MikeH...you keep believing that....
He has been one of the most cynical and dishonest candiates since Bill Clinton, dear MikeH.....From how he is financing his campaign, to FISA, to the Second Amendment, to holding joint Town Hall style meetings with McCain and our fellow citizens, to this patriotism issue, to not attacking people personally, to his stand on the Iraq War, to how he even handled the dearly supportive HRC.....SNOBamessiah is Olbermann's perfect candidate....
A lie.

"As I wrote this one for tonight, I was confident it would be "brief. Silly me."

Oh, and MikeH.....perhaps SNOBamessiah should take some advise from one of those brainiac Kossacks Olbermann is so enamored with.....
"Moving to the center didn't do either Gore or Kerry much good."

A lie....this is the candidate the dems have put forth....another lie......
He's......
For The Second Amendment giving individuals the right to a gun
For Telecom Immunity
For Capital Punishment for child rapists
For the continued deployment of troops in Iraq
(all NOW that is)....I wonder about.....later?......

Oh Lord - Olby cites Our Favorite Felon during his Speshul Komment. He must think that John Dean adds gravitas and credibility to his spitfest. LOL.
Philly - KO said on Daily Kos that John Dean is the smartest man he knows.
The loons at DU are calling for BO to follow KO - they're calling for BO to watch the Special Comment. So is a vote for BO a vote for KO, the mind behind BO's actions? Is he one of the "advisors" everyone says they hope BO will have since he has so little experience? God help us.
Cee....YOU are one of the most disgusting human beings I have ever had the displeasure of communicationg with.
You have no integrity.....You have no humanity....You will stoop to ANY low to embellish your own political position.....there is no mud or excrement you will not throw.....there is no sewer you will refuse to wallow in....and there is no lie you will not tell, defend, or continue for cynical political reasons.
While two very honorable and patriotic candidates try to focus on issues, YOu can be depended on to continue your slimefest unabated.
Love the picture, Johnny!
"Obama is showing us how to take the high road. Since YOU are a virtual poster boy for taking the low road, maybe even YOU can learn something by observing someone who personifies integrity." MikeH
What by having Surrogates like Clark attack McCain's Military record then act shocked that he said it then throw him under the bus?..it could be excused away if only this wasn't the 7th Obama Surrogate to do it...High road indeed.
"OMG,Chris Cilizza says that Obama's remembrances of his grandfather's war experience is an important part of the story of B. Hussein Obama and prove his patriotism"Philly
Is that the one that Lord Obama claimed help liberate Auschwitz while trying to appeal to Jewish voters?..of course Auschwitz was liberated by the Red Army..ooops!! LOL!!!
I like the picture, too.
"Best Persons" featured a Jed Babbin attack. Keithy reads J$P, too? Anyway, Fat Ass implied Babbin can't get a job.
As for the Media Matters Minute, which I guess I'll handle again unless Johnny ends up recapping, Gov. Jindal, Monica Crowley, Bill Kristol. No detailed recap for me tonight. I'm in no mood. As Johnny would say, frack the Media Matters Minute.
By the way, #4: Add another interview to The List. Sen. Webb was on to play pattycake with Monkeymann.
"What by having Surrogates like Clark attack McCain's military record and then act shocked that he said it then throw him under the bus?"
To begin with, Clark made the perfectly reasonable and defendable statement that being a serviceman under fire does NOT qualify you to be POTUS. Some had a problem with that perfectly true statement....I do not. Therefore, it was hardly an "attack" on "McCain's Military record".
Second, there is NO evidence (zero) that he 'had' Clark or anyone else make that remark. Clark is his own man just like every other pundit and is free to express his own opinion. What is wierd is the way some people accuse every loose canon remark as having been somehow 'authorized' by his campaign.
Third, I just saw Clark being interviewed and he doesn't act like someone who feels like they were thrown under a bus.
Whew! That Special Comment left me dizzy. What other Prez candidate ever had such a braintrust? The issue was laid out from end to end and dissected with a razor sharp intellect that could butter bread from 20 paces. The "Olbermann Network" never fails to astound and amaze. And amuse. I can only imagine the flowers are being delivered to Olbys dressing room by the truckload.
I just watched KO's pathetic attempt to smear Bud Day, one of McCain's fellow inmates at the Hanoi Hilton. To clueless Olbermann, Day is just some guy with a funny blue necklace who appeared in a Swift Boat ad, not a Medal of Honor winner who happens to be the most highly-decorated living American.
Speshul Komments are konvoluted
George and Russert were prostituted
He won't pay his tax
Obama he backs
As a tool, Olby's well-suited
I e-mailed Johnny the OlbyRobot dramatic reading for tonight's SEK. Expect it to be added at some point tonight or tomorrow.
Is Olby asking us to buy into the convicted felon, John Dean?
I figured a spuchel koment was due.....olby has been getting trounced by BOR in the ratings....too bad John Kasich was hoting tonight.
By MikeH on June 1, 2008 10:54 PM
Furhtermore Grammie, it took a direct rebuke from Robert Cox for you to accept the absurdity of your attempting to hold me responsible for the comments of others.
So tell me Janet; why did you accept such a logical premise from him so readily from him while repeatedly rejecting it from me?
Think about it!
By Grammie on May 23, 2008 1:09 PM
This is the answer I wrote to one of your comments on the thread Olbermann Watch Election Night Open Thread! on May 6. It was the last comment on the thread and I thought you had not seen it b/c you, if I remember correctly, took a break for a week or so from OW about then. I think it is very pertinent to the subject we were discussing.
"By Grammie on May 9, 2008 3:48 PM
Let me reply to you, Mike, on a theme by theme basis. The first theme is Janet's craven refusal to stand up for right and against wrong
as you meticulously and in detail pointed out all my failuers:
"Janet: "Since you gave us the choice to believe it or not I feel free to suggest that if you behave with her the same way you behave here she might be afraid to suggest anything diffeent."
What you seem absolutely blind to is that these kind of things are supposed to work BOTH ways!
- I can have my patriotism, my honesty, my ethics, and my sincerity attacked repeatedly....and Janet remains silent!
- I can have someone repeatedly resort to name calling against me while I do none of that myself......and Janet remains silent!
- The original OW troll who now uses a disgusting word as part of his own moniker can jeer and razz every comment I make while never actually making a counterpoint himself......and Janet remains silent!
- My own motives and humanity can be questioned repeatedly.....and Janet remains silent!"
Mike, are you seriously openly declaring in a public forum that a woman just about old enough to be your mother had some obligation to fight your battles for you and you are upset that I did not do so and am hypocritical by my failure to protect you from all those meanies.
Secondly, when did you EVER stand up for me, or the other ladies here, who were continuously called sluts, slovens, whores, fag hags, Gag, Hag and Bag, vicious, snarling, sadistic, war monger, blood thirsty, liars and on and on and on by just ONE from your side that you complimented several times, Capon Flucker? When did you ever take Patsy and Flucker to task for their obscenities towards Cee and Royal King?
" But just let me appear to be questioning the patriotism or motives of someone you percieve to be on your 'side'......and Janet rises up with indignation!"
You were also questioning MY patrotism and motives b/c your original respone was to a comment that I made in which you implied, so strongly as to almost rise to stated, my patriotism and motivation when you said:
"Grammie: "If the Dems do not win I think there will be Dems heads exploding around the country."
"If being depressed because you see your country going down the tubes right before your eyes is the same thing as having your 'head explode', then you're certainly right.
For people like me, it's ALL about what is good for our country, and it's future, not some school rivalry....."
I was discussing the horse race aspect of the Presidential Campaign and likely reactions from both sides of the aisle and you piously declare that you and those like you only have the good of the country in your minds and hearts as opposed to those who pretend it is a school rivalry. You have accused me of making these accusations more than once so how about coming up with some citations to back you up.
"The funny thing is that you decry both Olbermann and posters like myself for their lack of objectivity, when there is absolutely NOTHING objective about your own."
Olbermann, yes! Others, not that I remember ! So what?
"If you think I'm being insensitive to people such as yourself because I have nothing but contempt for your continuing to excuse not only a war that should never have been fought, but it's original house of cards rational for fighting it, then why in the hell would do you think I would care whether you like me or not? ..... And if you continue to make the mistake of confusing contempt for some of your opinions with contempt for you personally......then thats YOUR problem!"
Insensitive is not what I implied about you. One would have to posess some sensitivity to be sometimes insensitive. I also don't give a tinker's damn whether you like me or not. Nor do you need to bald face say that you are contemptious of those who don't agree with you b/c it oozes, drips and forms puddles around you. [Hint: I don't think too many people here like you].
"I'll continue to reserve such concern for the ONLY ones who have been asked to actually sacrifice for this travesty;.....the troops and their families!"
Concern is neither called for nor welcomed here, as I see it.
What is called for and welcomed here is what is generally desired in halfway polite society, a reasonable respect for those conventions that smooth the way for an exchange of ideas. That does not mean that I want sites that are as bland as Tapioca but it does mean that generally we predominantly adhere to a civil tone and refrain from making over the top accusations and displaying a completely contemptious attitude towards others.
Might I point out that you seem to be proud that you so contemptious of others?"
Cee, MikeH had you pegged a long time ago.
How did he put it back then and was incensed b/c you insisted on unfairly quoting him? I remember the gist if not the actual quote.
MikeH declared that "thinking such as yours was a cancer that needed to be cut out".
How close was I?
So, Olbermann did an entire segment on McCain's "flip-flopping," but during his SEK he referred to Obama not being a flip-flopper, but being....."politically fluid"?
The road to Ratings Hell is paved with idiotic Keith Olbermann quotes.
I found his "special comment" tonight to be particularly nauseating. His willingness to apologize for Obama knows no bounds.
And I didn't get the part with "Obama voted uh-uh, thing terror stop" in the dumb guy voice (another Oralmann staple). What was the point of that? I can only assume it's: "We're dumb Republicans and conservatives and we have to let America know that Obama voted against the reauthorization of the FISA bill. So, terror surveillance will stop at midnight tomorrow. Duh-oy-ee." And Keith would probably have said that, but a six-word meme repeated mindlessly throughout hits home quicker.
What is wierd is the way some people accuse every loose canon remark as having been somehow 'authorized' by his campaign.
by mikeh
I think Savage nailed it today. What coward clark did was a weak attempt at "slow boating" McCain and it cost him his political career.
One more thing, did Bush "authorize" the Swift Boaters, mikeh? Think before you post, please!
Cee....YOU are one of the most disgusting human beings I have ever had the displeasure of communicationg with.
by mikeh
Hey, you lying prick, you said that about me. Make up your mind!
nor could YOU....someone who has shown yourself perfectly willing to post an outright LIE about taxation rates simply to embellish your own political position, and then claim the "degree" of taxation isn't really what is important when called on your lie....be trusted to recognize real intellectual honesty when you see it!
by mikeh
Could you be any more desperate? Shheeeez! Is that all you got?
Please just ignore him.
Well, the OlbyRobot is up. Let me know what you think, everyone.
Who are you referring to, mikec?
MikeH declared that "thinking such as yours was a cancer that needed to be cut out".
How close was I?
by grammie
You nailed it, Janet.
I was referring to everybody that's been acknowledging him. You're giving him what he wants.
"How close was I?"
Right on target, Grammie....I haven't been back since I left my opinion of MikeH's saint hanging out there last evening (for him to stew over).
Ah, hyperbole....you know MikeH, you should understand that although you may conclude that I go overboard in my attacks on the democrat nominee, the same can also be said of the legions of Husseins (You do know they are calling themselves this now in the continued drive to make this a postracial and "new" time in America)...
http://patdollard.com/2008/06/obama-supporters-call-themselves-hussein/
The attacks on Senator McCain's age, military service, POW injuries, pilot skills, cancer history, yellow teeth, wife, and speaking style have been relentless from the church of SNOBamessiah as well as the general radical leftist, anti-American cadre.....This campaign turned negative a long time ago and it started from the left.
John McCain put his hand out to do two things:
1) Make a joint pledge with Senator Obama to fund the campaigns publicly and above board.....SNOBamessiah did not sit down and aggressively work this out as he had promised.
2) Asked for 10 joint town hall meetings with Senator Obama this summer....SNOBamessiah has refused to meet with and debate the issues with the citizens of our great country. Mr. McCain waits.
So, MikeH....you are wrong AGAIN!.....ONE very honorable and patriotic candidate tries to focus on issues, and that guy is Senator McCain.
SNOBamessiah continues his shallow, nonspecific, cynical and very demogogic drive to another democrat President "plurality." He does not speak cogently regarding issues....he attacks the specific policy proposals of McCain, cries for "change," offers "hope" and runs away.
SNOBamessiah's coronation and assumption may happen, but I hope a majority of the American people keep their logic and good sense and see the truth while disregarding the horrible attacks leveled daily by the radical left and their god, SNOBamessiah.
And I, the cancer you so famously dehumanized, will continue to support the right candidate for President based on experience, principle, policy positions and character. I will continue to meet the crazed radicals like yourself with equal vindictive and humor....it's fun afterall.

Qwazy Keith pointed out last week that Obama wasn't "...cowering to the left..." in stating that he would vote for the FISA bill.
"Not cowering to the left", it seems, is something that the Obamessiah has in common with George W. Bush, Hannity, Limbaugh, etc. Perhaps the "change" that He promises is more of the "same-old same-old". Olby, by signing on to the Obamessiah Train, has given up any pretense of intellectual honesty. Not that he had any before!
Oooo, wait...ANOTHER SNOBamessiah lie.....he said he was against same sex marriage, and supported the states choosing what they wanted to do with this issue....but now.....
"Obama rejects proposed California gay marriage ban"
"It just depends on where you catch him and what time of day … whether it's public financing, town hall debates and now gay marriage,"
http://www.sacbee.com/111/story/1051404.html
###
So he is throwing the radical left a bone and now supports the imposition of the new definition of marriage on all of America whether the state's population votes nay or yea.....Wow....what a moderate position!
Liar...no character and principle....he tells one audience one thing...."I am against same sex marriage," and then writes a gay right group he is for imposing same sex marriage in California.....nice.

Please do not attempt to hold the Chosen One to the standards of mere mortals like you and I. Doing so may get you WPITW one day.
Repent, I say, or be cast into the darkness!
I love the fact the Left is turning on Olbermann. He's being exposed as a hack with no convictions. Now that Obama is moving towards a Conservative Democrat position, how will Olbermann react? He's played with fire allying himself with the Stalinist Progressive Left, now he's going to get burned!
The Komment didn't help. Olby got trounced in total viewers and the demo...by John Kasich! 2,196,000 to 1,076,000 and 496,000 to 343,000. Thank you, everyone!
I know I didn't watch!
It's interesting. With all of the hoopla over the last few days from many blogs (especially KOS) and TV about the upcoming special comment, you'd think his ratings for the night would've been up quite a bit, but they were flat. I find this encouraging. Maybe many thought as I did. Even with the controversy he created, I didn't care. I think he's on borrowed time.
I hope so. If Barry Nolan can be fired from CN8, why can't Keith be let go from (MS)NBC?
It may have been due to it being a holiday week. Lots of people out of town and such. Even with this "horrible" economy. Were the numbers down across the board? I haven't looked.
BOR was down, but he's on vacation. Even at that "The Factor" did pretty well last night.
The O’Reilly Factor- 2,196,000 viewers (496,000) (John Kasich in for Bill O’Reilly)
CNN Election Center– 639,000 viewers (144,000)
Countdown w/ Olbermann – 1,076,000 viewers (343,000)
Fast Money- 207,000 viewers (53,000)
Nancy Grace – 575,000 viewers (191,000)
BOR is usually anywhere from 2.3-3M. So Kasich did pretty well.
Just to add. Olbermann was down last week too. Most nights below 1M. During the final days of the primary he was consistently at 1.2 +. A drop of nearly 200K over the last couple of weeks is huge. Very telling.
