I smell an Olby meltdown in the works. David Gregory must be laughing his head off.

Well, it's so heartening that Keith Olbermann knows he was not "sufficiently empathetic" in understanding his own undertones...

Mistakes were made...but goodness knows this doesn't make Hillary a victim of sexism more than Obama has been a victim of racism...

I think Andy Warhol's idea about everyone having fifteen minutes of fame was off-base. Liberals have turned it into eons of victimhood.

Gibson is tearing Olby (and msdnc) a new one right now.

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.

I can't wait to hear Gibson tear into Keith over tonight's SEK; tomorrow night, I assume. I skimmed through the SEK, but heard the last 40 seconds in full. What a drama queen. Or maybe I should type it like this: "What...a...drama queen! Good night and good luck."

Keith is such a misogynistic, Liberal, hypocritical, tax-evading, lying, no-integrity loser, I can't tell you.

But I'm not a Keith-ist because I don't believe my statement is Keith-ist. LAF!

My wife and I listened to the whole SEK somehow. And when Olbermann first talked about the "context" of McCain's statements and KO made up his own IMAGINARY "context"....well, we just looked at each other and burst into laughter. We couldn't stop for about a minute or more.

Then KO said something that sounded like "1 plus 2 equals 5. And when you divide that by 69 that then equals 100. Which is how many years McCain wants our troops in Iraq. 2013." The next thing I heard was "Good night and good luck." *sigh*

I Tivo'd it and I'm going to watch now. The majority of KOS comments were like,"At the end I cried and I think I saw Keith shed a tear too."

I managed to watch it, too. He said he was going to put things in context but running a bunch of different quotes isn't context. McCain wants our troops safe and free from harm, maybe even in a peaceful, friendly Iraq. And Olbermann excoriates him for that for 10 minutes? huh?

And what was with the lighting mistakes? Every time Keith would do one of his Dramatic Pivots, the lighting would delay like he was up in da club* on the dancefloor.

*apologies if Keith thinks this is "racist." I saw Chicken and Waffles tease a bit about "baby mama" being racist, so Heaven's to Betsy I wouldn't want to offend him.

Does the pettiness of Fat Ass no no bounds? His litany of complaints include everything, including simple gramatical mistakes. McCain had the audacity to say 'beer' instead of 'ear'. This draws ire from the Edward R. Murrow of our day.

I cried too. From laughing at the new lengths that Keith went to. McCains comments make sense when you put them in context. In context of Keith's imaginary world. He even admitted it. Oh dear, a tear comes to my eyes when I think back on it.

The lighting was God attempting to smite KO, but it seems that KO has made a pact with the devil to allow him to live in his imaginary world and lie all he wants.

Dan just gave me an epiphany. It was not God trying to smite Keith. It was the ghost of Edward R. Murrow who is angry at Keith for mocking him each and every night he is on the air.

Exactly right GT, context also relates to the TIME of the comment.

Another glaring example of Olbypocrisy: He hammers Fox News for using a graphic he labels as offensive and disrespectful. "Obama baby mama". Disrespectful? Perhaps. But coming from the man who, when doing a segment on candidate Mit Romney ran a far more disrespectful graphic glaring "Mit for Brains". Imagine the outrage if Fox News had went down that road! Olbermann is famous for wallowing in the gutter to attack his enemies. Who does he think he is kidding?

I love Olbermann's justification. “I might say misogynistic things, but that does not make me sexist because I don't know that I am saying misogynistic things."

I just produced the [female] OlbyRobot dramatic reading, which I'll submit to Johnny before I go to bed. I copied and pasted the SEK transcript from the News Hole. You'll love it.

Mike,

Teddy does the recaps on Tues and Thurs but appears to have bailed on us again.

Send the material to me and I will post it into the post I just added.

Since I see it up, I guess Johnny forwarded it to you. I'll send any Tuesday/Thursday stuff to you until I get Teddy's address.
