Howard Fineman is allowed to share breathing room with KO. This surprises me because last night on Hardball he had this to say about Obama:

FINEMAN: Well, I—having observed Obama and covered him now for quite some time—I mean, I‘ve been up close to him a lot, not as much as some, but enough to know that he gets his back up when he‘s cross-examined or criticized. He does. He has a...

BARNICLE: That‘s not a very positive thing to note about a candidate. (LAUGHTER)

FINEMAN: No, no. He has—he has a little bit of an arrogant streak in him. He does. It‘s something he has to watch. It‘s something that‘s the flip side of the tremendous self-confidence he has. Here‘s a guy who was in the Illinois legislature four years ago, who‘s now going around meeting heads of state on a pretty emotionally and politically equal level. So he‘s got to have a lot of self-confidence. Sometimes he overdoes it.

Olbermann must not have heard HF dissing his guy. Look what happened to Craig Crawford for doing that - he was sent off OlbyPlanet.

Fineman will not be "great-thanksed" for dissing B. Hussein Obama.

I didn't stay for the show - I just wanted to see if Fineman was allowed on the air. Was he "great pleasured" by KO?

Remember when Olby had to apologize to the Kossacks for having Laurence O'Donnell on the show because he didn't realize LO had called John Edwards a loser. The loons were not happy. We haven't seen LO on CD since then. KO has his own bus and the pundits are piling up under it.

Fineman better pray that Olbermann doesn't see his Screwball interview. Keith being a good communist will purge Fineman. Fineman better grab a shovel and a warm coat.

#3: An entire segment devoted to the O'Reilly-McClellan showdown on "The Radio Factor" this afternoon. Oralmann set up the clip by using "an old analogy" from "Casablanca." Upper-right graphic: "Falafel [ding!] Guy Fatwa." Image of Bill with a big head on a small body. McClellan's "No Duh" announcement that Fox News gets White House talking points. Fat Ass emphasized the "t" on "tuh-alking points." Billo the Clown! [ding!] Bottom screen graphic: "Billo [ding!] The Bully." Olbermoronn continues to laud Scott as some kind of hero. Billo! [ding!] Hysterical Ted Baxter voice used while reading Media Matters (I assume) transcript of our humble correspondent. Wait a minute. This is from yesterday. "Mick-a-lellin." I knew BOR would be mocked for that stumble eventually. "'Kay?" Billo! [ding!] OlbyMock ad-lib: "His stupid rotten, old book!" Billo! [ding!] Fox Noise [ding!] morning show! Will he show the clip from what we otherwise know as "Fox and Friends"? Nope. More Baxter dramatics. Billo! [ding!] How dare he lump MSNBC in with NBC News! You're dragging the damn thing down, Krazy Legs! "Finally, today, Scott McClellan went on O'Raily's (stumbled on O'Reilly's) radio show to expand on his written statement that he never mentioned O'Reilly specifically, just Fox, and that he was sticking with what he said to Chris Matthews." And finally, we get to the showdown. Big evil O'Reilly head on small body on left said of the screen, flattering candid McClellan shot on the right, "Radio Factor" logo and mic in the middle. Pause in clip for Keithy snark in Baxter voice: "And give me a big kiss." Normal voice: "But when Scott tried to get an apology for himself, he learned a valuable lesson: uh, Billo [ding!] never apologizes." He grinned as he said that. Apex of interview played. After the clip, KeithO the Klown says, "If we're partners, Scott owes me MONEY!" Geno Robinson laughs. Oh, no. Not him. Yep. Bottom graphic: "Billo [ding!] Buster." Robinson says, "Good to be here, Keith. I think he owes me a little, too." I'd like some combat pay myself for having to recap this crap. Edward R. Olbermann chuckles, "If we made a deal with McClellan, we made a bad deal." Billo [ding!] made this all about him. Fox Noise machines! [ding!] [ding!] Okay, forget it. There's 4:30 left on this segment and I'm skipping to the end of it. I've put up with all I can take. At the 8:16 mark, Robinson: Bombast! Konspiracy theory about Vice President of Fox taking the talking points, making his own, and sending them out to everyone in the news organization. "We've seen copies of it." And we mercifully come to an end with: "Anyway, (sigh), all right, we'll leave it alone here. Uh, Gene Robinson, MSNBC and 'The Washington Post.' Thank you, Gene." "Good to talk to you, Keith." And after typing that, I lowered my head to the keyboard.
Media Matters Minute flash recap: L. Robert Kimball and associates, NYPD cop that shoved a bicyclist off his bike, Charles Krauthammer. Or, as I'm used to hearing it whenever I'm watching a Brit-hosted "Special Report," "and the syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer. Fox News Contributors all." The video cut out midway through, but I could see Charles in the preview thumbnail.

#4: The "Countdown" Sen. Ted Stevens indictment victory party. (My title for it; not really billed as such.) Not worth recapping.

Hey everyone, I'm curious about something... As much as this site and a few others who bring up the tax cheat give many an outlet to vent through either contributing and or just reading, do you still sometimes feel it’s not enough?

Honestly, I do. Despite the writing and contributions, it doesn’t properly focus my frustrations and I’m guessing a lot of other people’s frustrations the way you can on video. So I’m wondering have you Bob or J$ ever thought of doing a show, either yourselves or getting someone else too, the way they do on newsbusters.org, except more often and focused on the tax cheat? Done in his own style no less as it sadly has worked so okay for him.

I’d volunteer first but I hardly have the presence. So I’m curios if, again, you’ve thought of brining your site and writing to video somehow, and or if anyone as ever thought of the same thing???

P.S… I messaged you personally Bob and while I tried and avoided being wordy, I’m coming fresh off his bile so I felt very typey:}

FINEMAN: No, no. He has—he has a little bit of an arrogant streak in him.

I believe he meant to use the word "elitest." He just stumbled a bit.

The joy he seemed to experience when he got to say " Jesus Christ on a Cheeto, twice.
