Here is a nice, very objective list for the Best/Worst of the Cable '08 season:
Winners: Rachal Maddow, Chuck Todd, Chris Matthews, Roland Martin, Bill O'Reilly
The biggest losers in the cable campaign:
· Keith Olbermann — Trapped between inclinations to practice serious journalism or be cable's class clown, he too often opts for the latter. Olbermann's biggest sin is to squander precious time night after night on his MSNBC program for what has become a tedious personal vendetta against Bill O'Reilly. Olbermann's viewers probably don't even watch O'Reilly; Olbermann, on the other hand, never seems to miss a minute.
Other Losers: Wolf Blitzer, Larry King, Andrea Mitchell, Karl Rove, Lanny Davis
Check this article ladies and gents. OlberKos is between a rock and the hard left. Scathed by Greenwald's article, that made him look like the cowering suck-up hack that he is, the back pedaling retard now blames John Dean.
See, John Dean is the smartest man in the whole wide world and he told tub-o-lard that this FISA bill was A-OK versus the fascist bill Bush wanted. Unfortunately Dean says Olby is full of crap and misinterpreted what he said. That's what happens when the smartest man in the world tries to convey an idea to the dumbest man in the world.
Great Link CountDung! I guess 'ole Keify hasn't seen that yet, look at his slobbering comments from the Daily Kos. He is blindly pimping his Special Komment while Dean disavows him....teehee!
Actually... (33+ / 0-)
...Dean tells me he went over the new FISA law fully again today (and the ACLU guys have been poring over it since his first suggestion of this last week) and he was right the first time.
The bill immunizes the telecoms against civil suits, and leaves it wide open for the Justice Department to prosecute, criminally.
And the "right wing frame" on Democrats and national security is an injustice and nonsense - just like all the other right wing frames. Unfortunately, this is the only one that might stick to Obama because irrational fear is a human fundament. If he plays it wrong, he votes against (and the bill passes anyway), he gets stuck within the frame (and loses the election), and nothing legally happens, ever, to the telecoms - or the Bush Administration.
But if he plays it right...
Well, I'm giving away Monday's comment.

Special Comment on FISA and Obama, Monday...
Not sure he'll like it, not sure you'll like it, not sure Mr. Greenwald will like it. But I'll like it.

"If you're going through hell - keep going!" -- Winston Churchill
by Keith Olbermann on Fri Jun 27, 2008 at 08:31:14 PM PDT Is this a bumper sticker from KO? I like my new one better and it kind of fits him. SOLVE WORLD HUNGER. EXECUTE MORONS.
If it was, "by Keith Olbermann on Fri Jun 27, 2008 at 08:31:14 PM PDT" he really is a space cadet. At that time on a Friday night any All-American boy would be doing the naughty with the blonde.
If Dean is the smartest man that he knows, then I doest think he likes to know the kind of people that fit my new bumper sticker. Remember Dean well when he was testifying. He looked like a deer in headlights. Years later there was a line in a movie that went something like; Mom they are going to send me to prison and some bad man is going to make me his boyfriend. You could almost see the same words printed on his prissy forehead.
Looks like the comment Monday night is going to be more of KO with his head in BOs' lap rationlizing this FISA thing. Once again, if it is politics you can do anything for the sake of getting elected. Don't know why he thinks his side is any more honorable than the other side.
Yeah...sorry, I reposted the KO link from yesterday...but there are new ones for tomorrow....1 in which he again defends himself for defending Obamessiah's flip-flop, and then the comment where he announces his SEK for Monday which "Obama may not like (para.) and KOS may not like (para.)" but so far all he has posted on KOS is how the smartest man in the world, John Dean, has assured him that while the FISA bill protects the telecoms form CIVIL suits, it leaves them open to CRIMINAL suits from a Democrat administration. And Obamessiah is a genius because the gullible voters will see Senator Obamessiah as courageous for standing up to protect Americans from (alleged) terrorists while the vote really will allow President Obamessiah to reverse track yet again and prosecute the telecoms for their actions.
From KOS referring to Olby's new diary(AH) where calling Obama a tanned Kerry is RACISM!!!
Nice try Keith.... (2+ / 0-)
I like how you haven't been here in 2 weeks, post a failure of a post about your blatant hypocrisy, and then come back one day later to try to change the subject.
Re: FISA
Bush = traitor, hypocrite and fascist
Obama = none of those things.
And your explanation for your hypocrisy is so weak even I, a fan, can't take it.
Count - a few more negative remarks to Olbermann on that diary
" Nice distractions Keith. (1+ / 0-)
Throw the faithful some redmeat and maybe they'll forget your mighty gaffe on the whole FISA reversal which got you into the fight with Greenwald to start with huh? Oh and I see you're going to throw in a special comment too on Monday-very nicely played. Per usual, the fans are falling for it, hook, line, and sinker. You may be a sacred cow here to many but some of us figured you out quite a long time ago. You pander almost well enough to be a politican. Your stunning 360 this week on FISA proved beyond that fact beyond a shadow of a doubt. And all the special comments and KOS diaries and Special Comments in the world won't change that fact. FISA was wrong in January and it's wrong now and all the spinning in the world won't make it so. But just so long as you fool some of the people I guess you're golden. For now."
There are some great comments in the firedoglake link Count posted:
"Jane, is there any way, in your talking to John Dean, that you can get him to call KO and get him to back off on this ridiculous pissing match? I think too, if KO would talk to Turley [actually, listen to Turley], he might get an understanding of"
They're actually asking FDL's founder to call John Dean and have him talk KO down off the ledge. This just keeps getting better.
Humor me with these comments from left blogs - see Emptywheel/FDL link at the KO mini-blog
These people are still trying to save their hero KO from total humiiation tonight. One suggested he will put himself out on a limb and chop off the limb. Another is contacting people to try to get them to talk him out of the SC or at least change it:
"You want to get KO to open his mind up and maybe even have Glenn on the show?
Convince Rachel Maddow and then ask her to talk to him.
I just sent an email to Jonathan Turley asking for him help, too."
When I first read KO's reasons for annointing John Dean "The Smartest Man I Know" I thought for sure he had confused Dean with Charlie Babbits brother, Raymond.

A fact Keith will try to debunk
According to Keith
O'Reilly's beneath
When in fact it's a Bill-O slam dunk

Uberassmann will be soaking in the tub all this weekend writing his Special Komment. Will he have to pay Dean "hush money". How deliciously ironic.
Here's a fun article from Newsbusters. Keith's days are numbered.
