One thing that is interesting about Olbermann rallying the lefties to watch his show. You never see any similar effort from the right for The O'Reilly Factor Why is that?

Perhaps because O'Reilly is not a conservative mouth piece.

What do you think?

Yea how good of a show can you have if you have to keep rallying the troops to tell them to turn in?..if their true fans of the show they shouldn'''t have to be encouraged to turn in and he shouldn't have to do a "Special comment" every few weeks just to lure them in.

No doubt O'Reilly is not a conservative mouth piece.....

On the issue of oil prices and those evvvvvvil speculators(full disclosure, Im one of those evil speculators, however, I trade S&P futures) Bill is closer to Dennis the Menace.....and gets outright crazy when talking about current oil prices.....See last nights show....

And it's clear from viewer mail....that Bill gets a wide range of viewers....unlike KO....who only preaches to his sick, angry choir.

I never have understood why people assume that O'Reilly is part of the Hannity/Rush crowd..if you ever visit Conservative sites like Free Republic you'll find that when Bill's name comes up you'll see as many negative reactions to him as you would at Daily Kos..so even though KO tries to paint him as a "Right-wing" mouth piece(coming from the Left-wing mouth piece)..the fact is O'Reilly isn't.

I'll bet Olby is just dying to get the word out to DKos, but he knows there are too many eyes on him at the moment.

I'd be on the lookout for sock puppets or "inside sources" across the left-wing blogosphere for near future Olby announcements.

Olby's been discovered as the loon that he always was. He'll be keeping a low profile for a bit.....at least until the media frenzy dies down after he pays his taxes.

What a fraud. And a goon.

Robert,
The Think Progress crew was bragging about Olbermann beating O'Reilly. I was gonna post on it but I'm in the Middle of a move. Either way let's see this week's numbers. If O'Reilly holds and beats Olbermann then I will post a story mocking Olbermann and his Think Progress cohorts.
Olbermann will run with the Supreme Court giving rights to Terrorists. That will be one of his stories.

Keith is going to be posting his Special Comment Pimping Post soon:

Keith, defending his own misogyny writes:

I'd love to contribute more to this but I'm finishing up the McCain Comment and want to put up a preview diary of it while I can (sorry - is directing traffic to another diary a suspendable offense?).

Thanks....

Yea, I think the thing about Olby is that he pimps out the Kos Kiddies to boost his ratings up for his Special ed Komment. He doesn't give a damn what they write, he only cares about having those kids worshiping the ground he walks on.

Is K.O. botoxing or using that silicone filler stuff or something? His forehead, cheeks and jaw-line seem to have lost all arcs and angles. His face has turned into a flat plane.

Whatever he's doing he needs to stop. He looks like a cement block with a nose

Astounding.

Given that Olby - who, hereupon, shall be referred to as "The Goon" - has continued his association with DKos, after being reigned in recently by NBC and some of the blue blogs, by contributing another advertisement for his show to the website, one can conclude all of the following:

1) The Goon has obliterated even the faintest inkling to even "feign" what it means to have responsible journalistic integrity (re: his idol Edward R. Murrow)

2) The Goon has not a scintilla of humility in his bones and lacks any respect for the integrity of the NBC brand and its ilk who have recently been voicing embarrassment behind the scenes (i.e. Brokaw, Russert)

3) MSNBC has absolutely no control over what The Goon can and will do.

Yet, MSNBC still has the audacity to air The Goon's hilarious call:

"We as citizens must at some ignore partisanship, not that we may prosper as a nation, but that merely we may function as a nation."

I could not believe the commercial was still airing just a couple of days ago - despite how clearly The Goon wears partisanship on his sleeve.

NBC has truly gone off the deep end.

It's called lard.

> It's called lard.

He's starting to look almost Taft-like.

Interesting sidenote -

Howard Taft weighed in at over 300 pounds and once got stuck in the White House bathtub.
It took four men to pull him free after which a new tub was ordered that symbolically held four average-sized men. Make up your own jokes.

Make that Wm Howard Taft.

KO did indeed post a diary pimping his SEK....it will be included in tomorrow's Del.Ico.US. links. At 7:14 pm. He also made a comment directed at his Kos-critics blasting him for his Katie Couric "story" last night. Also bookmarked on Del.Icio.US.

Interesting, is it not, that until today KO had been silent on DKOS since the "Tim Russert is taking questions from a Daily Kos blogger" story?
