Every time I see Arianna on the tube it reminds me of window shopping at the Wall in Frankfurt in 1970. There had to be at least a 1/2 dozens hookers there who could have been her twin.

There were a lot of stories locally about Russert when he visited the city. The local NBC fobs used to try and hang with him a bit to see if something would rub off. Many were quoted as saying he was generally arrogant and rude. That always surprised me because TV types generally like to hang with their own and usually reserve arrogant and rude for us civilians.

All of the talk about KO with the schnozz, the glasses and the eyes kept telling me that there was someone in my past that was just like him. Couldn't work it out for the longest time. Now I remember. It was Wimpy Straub. Big mouth. Bombastic. Righteous in his own mind. A legend in his own mind. Marshmellows for cohones. Every time you saw him or heard him you just wanted to smack him. You kept thinking don't his parents ever spank him? A guy who would sucker punch you and then slink away. I just want to smack KO one time.

With the number of viewers he's shed
Krazy Keith should quit pimping the dead

Blame Bill-O, hit rim
Less talent than Brit plus K Fed

This clip is priceless. Joan Rivers essentially called Olbermann the Naomi Campbell of cable TV. Thanks for my mid-morning laugh. And who knew he was such a diva about his ketchup?

Once again, great job Katy!

I really think FOX is making a mistake giving Olbermann so much TV time and going after him. It's degrading. I do, however, commend them for going after the CEO of NBC and the corporation itself for being in bed with Iran.

Loved the last line, Katy.

Someone commented at the Huffington Post the obvious, if Keith didn't take the train, why was he at "Union Station" eating, um, getting coffee. Here's thel comment:

eyecon:
I love Keith O but I think he is being disingenuous. While he said that he took a car both ways, in the next sentence he debunked the ketchup issue (which diverts my attention to the ridiculous Heinz made-up controversy) by claiming that he ate dinner at UNION STATION.

No doubt the Post is a rag but Mr. O does not need to offer excuses for yelling at a staffer under tremendous pressure. I confess to doing that myself on more than one occasion...

What is funny is the "excuses" the Olbyloons twist themselves into for this douche. This Huffington Post blogger even gives him a pass for screaming at staffers during "tremendous pressure" I'm sure he did 'ole Russert proud. Another comment cries, 'there's other stuff to do at Union Station besides take trains! Maybe he had another appointment'

(like picking up 14 year old runaways...that seems to be Olbermann's speed).

Tim Who? Krazy Keith Wants First Class, Goes Bananas Over Ketchup!

You guys may have posted the link, but here is the final, where Blabbermann had to email some sports guy at the Sporting News Blog to REMIND him HE himself was in Sports FULL-TIME. His pompous obsessive email:

Mr. Friedman:

Dunno what it sounded like, but I can assure you the only person I was making fun of about Chauncey Billups was me.
This whole thing originated with the fact that on my screen on the set at MSNBC, he was about a half an inch tall. The Billups I remembered from my full-time sportscasting days was taller. Making the international tv signal for "Whodat?" to my producer while filling time, I got back "Johnny Phillips," and the whole thing went to hell after that.

Regards,
Keith Olbermann

an even better comment from a blogger:

Is there a person in the media more obsessed with what people are saying about him than Keith Olbermann? There's no telling how many times a day he googles himself. Hey, Keith, if you're reading this and I know you are, why don't you grow some nuts...

Poor Keith. It must suck to be him. Any guesses who will be named worst person tonight? Murders? Child molesters? terrorists? No! The people at F & F.

wonder what fatass wanted to slather in ketchup.

All 3 of them, Cecelia? ;-)

Is there going to be a recap tonight?

> Is there going to be a recap tonight?

Mike C, I hope so but I can't blame Johnny for not wanting to sit thru the Hypocrisy Hour.

By the way, I was looking at my blog stats and saw that I was linked to from a J$P comment thread. The thread was today's open thread and one of the far-left trolls was speculating that I was merely a creation of Johnny. Luckily, sharm linked to my blog and pointed out that I'm a real person, which I am. Incidentally, I quit commenting over there because of an overabundance of trolls and off-topic battles. I would always try in vain to police, but I had to give up for the sake of my sanity.

On Monday, he said he had family over this week and wouldn't be able to recap. I'll recap the Media Matters Minute once video is up on the "Countdown" website.

Video is still not up, but a preview is on the News Hole. The unfortunate victims tonight were Gretchen Carlson, Rupert Murdoch, and some guy named Bill. You know who I mean. The Olbsession never stops.

I'll guess why he named them:
Gretch: Discussion in above video from "F&F." He probably used a ditzy voice and implied she's dumb.
Rupe (Joan Rivers' nickname for him on "F&F": Who cares anymore? I'm sure the Australian pirate voice was used again. Rupert does not sound like a pirate. He has a nice voice.
Bill: Going after GE. I can hear him now: "Bill, buddy, we all know you're only going after GE because of me. You can stop your little charade because we're wise to you. Bill Orally [ding!], today's Worst...Person...in the World!"
Now, let's see if I'm right.

Okay, here goes something:
In the Media Matters Minute, Fat Ass continued to attack all things Fox by going after:
Gretchen Carlson: "Fixed News"! [ding!] Gretch "taunted" Gov. Richardson on "Fox and Friends" this morning by asking of Obama helped pay off his campaign debts. It didn't seem like a taunt to me or any other clear-thinking person. The Governor laughed and responded that he's paid on his own and is still paying. A good time was had by all. But back to the Hour of Spin: Gretchen is dumb and unqualified. Blah, blah, blah. Next, please...
The eeevil O'Reilly: "Billo" [ding!]. Olby's still harping on what BOR said in "Reality Check" Monday night. Check yesterday's links post for my link to video of that segment. Today, Krazy Legs focused on the ad revenue part. "Sadly, no. More made-up stats from [name I won't repeat]." What followed was "more made-up stats" from Oralmann. More pimping of the "Newsweek" online poll to rename BOR memoir, due for release in September.
Rupert Murdoch: Whatever. Some guy named David Davis resigning from British parliament. I'm taking the last 1:17 of this video off. Arrr yourself, Fat Ass.
APPENDIX: Bill Richardson interview on "Fox and Friends":

One correction: it was circulation, not ad revenue.

Okay, another correction after going back to "Reality Check" video: ad *pages*. I was close. By the way, note what was said after the part Keithy read in his hysterical Ted Baxter voice that would make Ted Knight roll over in his grave if he knew Olby was doing it: "Check doesn't wish anyone ill, but you guys at 'Newsweek' might want to start checking out the job market. Just looking for you. And that *is*...Reality Check."

Looking *out* for you. Sorry again.
