    Olbermann Watch, "persecuting" Keith since 2004


    August 29, 2008
    Countdown Friday Recappers Thread

    Bathtub Boy

    This is the recappers' comment thread for Countdown, August 29 2008.

    Welcome to You Write the Recap 2.0. This is a special thread for you to post your comments on the night's Hour of Spin. Note everything salient: smears, distortions, bias, lies, non-barking dogs...the works. Watch the first showing, the repeat, or view the videos at the Countdown website.

    We'll go through the comments, organize them, and the best will constitute our official OlbyWatch Recap. That will be posted separately, later tonight, for maximum visibility and impact. We'll credit all the commenters for their contributions. We need your help to document the shameless "journalism" of Krazy Legs Olbermann

    What to watch for tonight: Will Keith's misogyny lead him to fantasize more violence toward women, as he did when he suggested that some man needs to beat up Hillary Clinton and leave her for dead? Or will Olbermoronn just be royally pissed at how McCain's choice has made the following bit of Keith's kommentary sound pathetic and laughable:

    Be an Olbermann Watch blogger without all the muss and fuss! Comments are open: post your analysis of tonight's Hour of Spin here, and watch for your insights later tonight in the official OlbyWatch Recap.

    umm... what Johhny said.

    Thanks to MSNBC'S DNC coverage on the previous four nights, we were spared the Media Matters Minute...until tonight. It's baaack! Take cover. No O'Reilly attacks tonight, but there were News Corp attacks and a McCain attack.
    Worst was Richard Johnson of the New York Post's Page Six. Yes, Olby took their accurate reportage personally. Johnson works for "Rupert Murdoch's bribe-friendly New York Post." Quote. [ding!] "Let me explain this. I am damaging Rupert Murdoch's television network and his politicians." That's right, Fat Ass. The anchors, reporters, and commentators are "politicians." "Thus, Rupert Murdoch is trying to damage *me*. They make...this...stuff...up! Besides which, the only time I *really* needed more security was the day the New York Post itself sent one of its reporters to *stalk* [ding!] me at my hhhhome!"
    Worser was "the endlessly entertaining Steve Doocy of Fixed News [ding!]..." Boy, did I not miss that this week. "...who didn't read the McCain Talking Points [ding!] on Sarah Palin carefully enough." KeithO the Klown went on to use the Obama Talking Points: Palin is a lowly Cicely, Alaska mayor. Then came the Doocy dumb guy voice as Olbermoronn read a transcript of Steve's JOKE on this morning's "Fox and Friends" about Alaska being only 30 miles from Russia. More well-researched reporting from Keith "Rip 'n Read" Olbermann. With a sneering grin, Keithy snarked back: "Right. This is like Steve Doocy saying he's a journalist and not a *clown* because his Fox Noise [ding!] office is down the street from NBC News." Well, he isn't a journalist, nor does he claim to be one. He is a host--in fact, a co-host--of a cable news morning show.
    Worst was the zillionth McCain attack. Merkle pointed to isolated Iraq violence to discredit the notion that the country is now, for the most part, peaceful and stable. Keith gave his typical Academy Award-nomiated acting job as a response. "So, an average of four people a day dead in suicide bombings means a country is peaceful and sssstable?! But a peaceful and stable country does *not* mean...victory has achieved and we can get our men and women out of there! One way or the other, you are witnessing a man suffering from at least one actual *deluuuuusion*...to say nothing of an utter disrespect for the *meaning*...of the loss of life. It is not funny. It is shameful." And without bombast, he dramatically and mournfully entoned, "John McCain, today's Worst Person in the World."

    Correction: Wasilla, Alaska. I don't know why I said "Cicely." My apologies. It's been a long day.

    I think you should leave this open until Monday because I recorded it. Allot of p's have taken off for the Holiday.

    I think tonight Keith was at his best sharp, articulate, and right on about McCains choice of a vp, and congratulations to Cnn and Nbc the highest rated news organizations for the Democratic Convention and also to Cnbc for breaking the story about McCains Vp way to go.

    well oblerdouche drug out the slovenly michael moore just in time for the slob to say out loud what all the dems want, hes pulling for the hurricane. in regard to hurricane gustav, the slovenly one told olbermann, it shows there is a god. wreak havoc on new orleans, kill people, but please,, just rain on the republicans parade. what sons of bitches these people are.

    Mike C.,
    I think you must have been thinking of the 90s TV show "Northern Exposure" which was set in Cicely, Alaska. I loved that show.

    I went back to the segment. Merkle actually called Palin the equivalent of the mayor of Cicely, Alaska. So, that's what confused me. And that's an insult to the residents of Wasilla, whom I will not pretend to represent. Anyway, that's another correction for the full recap.

    Gee mike get over it the point is she is corrupt and clueless

    Open speil was almost all about VP pick Palin's so-called "inexperience"; lame Michael Palin Monty Python joke....

    #5 olby doing his best to diminish Sarah Palin and tamp down the excitment of McCain's VP pick. Not-so-Fineman and Maddow cluck in agreement of their dark master.

    #4 Trying to make Obama relevant, the mouth breather, Robinson prattled on about the best speach in the history of the world.

    #3 Fat ass meets really fat ass in some anti-American hatred.

    #2 WPITW Page Six for telling the truth about olby. Steve Doocy for parroting McCain "talking points." As if having a different view from keefy makes someone automaticly wrong. And the worst, John McCain simply for giving a factual assessment of events in Iraq. Seems olby still hasn't reported any good news from Iraq:

    Quiet Anbar ready for handover
    Move expected to free up Marines for Afghanistan
    By ROBERT BURNS Associated Press
    Aug. 27, 2008, 11:37PM

    WASHINGTON — Conditions in the western Iraqi province of Anbar, where a brutal insurgency once ruled, have improved so dramatically that the United States is handing over responsibility for security in the Sunni stronghold to Iraq within days. Troops freed up in Iraq could shift to Afghanistan.

    "There aren't a whole heck of a lot of bad guys there left to fight," Gen. James Conway, the top Marine Corps general, said Wednesday.

    #1 A look back at the dem convention sans any mention of all the problems of MSNBC all week.

    I thought the trolls were gone.

    With Howard, MikeH and H-Farmer now have a third person for their OlbyWatch opposition team.
    I guess Robert Burns is another AP guy that Herr Olbermahn would order to "find new work."
    BOR referred to Olby in a "Factor" segment last night: http://tinyurl.com/5tcyq5
    The reference comes with 3:41 remaining in the clip. "I don't know if this is true or not, but there is a report in the New York Post that one of their loony commentators wants to throw Tom Brokaw off the air. I mean, when you get to that point, you have got anarchy." And nearly the entire segment talks about the unrest at MSNBC this week. You'll enjoy it.
