Olby has thrown Milbank (and his day-glo duds) under the bus. Now Lefty Alter is in his place. The cowardly Olbytard smeared Milbank to the delight of the Kos Kidz. I'm sure Milbank will be much better off wherever he is than on the much-discredited Hour of Spin. Good luck to you, Milbank. Consider this a badge of honor.

B. Hussein Obama tank dweller Gene Robinson claims poor working-class white Appalachian residents love The Obamessiah. He also claims that Democrats are generically way ahead of the GOP in the race. Say what? More proof that the air is thin on Olbyplanet.

Olby keeps harping on the tire gauge gag that the GOP has started (and is using to their advantage). This must be a sore point for moonbats because they keep harping on it. Keep hitting, GOP.

So let me get this straight ..basically KO got rid of Milbank because he misquoted something Lord Obama said?..why dose that sound so familiar?..Oh yeah!!! because KO has misquoted Bill O'Reilly several times in just a month and still hasn't corrected or admitted to doing it...really KO has a pair on him dosen't he? New Murrow indeed.

Olby never met a partial quote he didn't like, especially if it constituted an out-of-context smear.

> So let me get this straight ..basically KO got rid of Milbank because he misquoted something Lord Obama said?

No, KO got rid of Milbank because the Kossacks were very unhappy with what Milbank said. So how long will KO continue to be their puppet? This is amazing.

Btw, Milbank is on CNN right now with Campbell Brown so he survived the toss under the bus. Too bad KO didn't just hold his breath till Milbank recanted his words so we could see just how blue he would turn (rather than his orignial orange).

.

from KO's Daily Kos diary -

"The headline: Dana Milbank won't be on the news hour any more."

NEWS hour? Huh????

Olby names Dana Milbank as a Best Person in the World - and promptly slimes him by repeating the Daily Kos blog post about tossing him under the bus. Kowardly Keith is a loser. Just when you think Olby can't lower the bar any more...

Stay classy, Olby.

Olbermann didn't fire him, his contract with MSNBC ran out and CNN hired him.

Olbermann didn't fire him, his contract with MSNBC ran out and CNN hired him.

I'm sure the real story will come out soon enough. I don't find Olby's version to be credible.

That was the dumbest WPITW and that is saying a lot. Department of Sean Hannity Ego Inflation? When it comes to Olby hurling insults about inflated egos: Pot, meet kettle. You resemble that remark, Olby.

And at 8:27, KO had to check in on the Kossacks to make sure he was getting their approval, before continuing with the second half of the show.

What a joke this guy is.

Dana Milbank just doubled his credibility by fleeing that spin-fest. (It's still not high, just higher :p)

I'm far from an Obama supporter, but it's frustrating to see him referred to as "B. Hussein Obama." I didn't even feel comfortable typing that. I'm not ordering you to stop, Philly, but I just wanted to let you know how I feel. I don't like Ann Coulter calling him that, either.
So, what network is Dana Milbank going to now? Or is he still with MSNBC?

That's his name. Is that off-limits now? Sounds like a libnut media tactic. At least I spell it correctly (most of the time).

> Olbermann didn't fire him, his contract with MSNBC ran out and CNN hired him.

So is that why KO 'courageously' publicly criticized Milbank after DM was out the door? He certainly wouldn't do it to his face. Yes, timing is everything.

Chicken and Waffle’s Olbermann led with the race card in the #5 story on the Countdown.

Leave it to the Democrats and their media minions to accuse McCain of playing the race card, by proactively playing the race card themselves. Did you know that the McCain ad with Obama, Spears and Hilton is actually symbolic of a black slave man sleeping with the white slave master’s wife? Did you know that the monuments/structures shown in the background represents a man’s penis? And drumroll please….Did you know that the McCain campaign was actually calling Obama an “Uppitty N” ?? This was all deduced by Olbermann, and Lefty Alter. That’s right, we have a whole Rosetta Stone of information gleaned from a 30 second ad. We have phallic symbols, white woman and black slave images all deciphered by Citizen Keith.

What’s next Keith - “I bury Paul? -- “If there’s a bustle in your hedge row don’t be alarmed now?” – Or perhaps we need to hear “Dark Side of the Moon” played in synchronization with the “Wizard of Oz”?

All Chicken and Waffles Olbermann did tonight was remind us of an extremely ugly racial epithet and continue his campaign of smear.

Prior to this idiotic exchange was a statement by Olby that the McCain idea of a Gas tax has already been proven to be a failed idea. Amazing, that on Olby planet, Goebell’s Wing Man can declare an idea proof positive dead before it is ever even put into play.

It just goes to show you that Olbermann is really Groucho Marx in disguise as he gleefully sings every night about John McCain, “Whatever it is, I’m against it.” -- Quads --

John Edwards and his bastard love child
Is a fact but the story's been filed
NBC wouldn't dare
But McCain's "affair"
Was "Breaking News"... Olbermann-styled

Katy - the Edwards story was definitely a dog that did not back.

I saw the last few minutes and he managed to get in a word or two about his being on the "football show" - isn't that the first time that Jim Vandehei has been on since he joined Politico. I thought he was banished.

Dana Milbank has been purged. He is not longer a useful idiot. He committed a thought crime. Get a shovel and a warm coat Dana. It is cold in Siberia. Typical Keith, he doesn't have the stones to debate Milbank on his article on air, so he has one of his flunkies kick Milbank off the show and then throws him under the bus from the safety of his echo chamber. We can only pray that Milbank has the good sense to drag all of Keith skeletons out of the closet. This is a good lesson for the rest of Keith's stooges, veer from the Kos party line and you will be purged. There is no freedom of speech on Olby planet only party approved "facts". I'm surprised Keith didn't slip him some Polonium that way Milbank wouldn't be able to talk.

I'm sincerely (and not sarcastically) sorry, Philly. You can keep calling Obama what you want to call him. I won't stand in your way.
#2: The Media Matters Minute. Worse: "An unnamed Israeli couple." Sad faces imposed over man and woman. Worser: some House Republican. Worst: Limbannity, which is my amalgamation for "comedian [ding!]" Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity. I watched about five seconds of the segment, otherwise skipping through it. Based on BOR's criticisms tonight of the NYT, Newsweek, and MSNBC, expect a Worse, Worser, or Worst nod tomorrow night. God help us.

Oh, CNN hired Milby? Okay. All the best to him, I guess.

I still say that Howard Fineman's days are numbered unless he eats these words from Hardball:

"HOWARD FINEMAN: Well I, having observed Obama and covered him 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, uh, he gets his back up when he's, uh, when he's, when he's cross-examined or criticized. He does. He, he, he has a --

BARNICLE: That's not, that's not a very positive thing to note about a candidate!

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

Soon KO will be talking to himself. Actually he is but at least another body shows up to nod in agreement.

Can you imagin of O'Reilly tossed someone from his show because he didn't like and artical they wrote? It would be the #1 story on the hour of spin for an entire week. Olbermann would also try to hire the reporter.

Obama's energy plan: A $1000 bribe and a visit to the air pump.

Oralmann's ill, vengeful treatment of Dana is the exact same treatment Chris Matthews, his MSNBC colleague, gave Howard Wolfson when he signed with FNC. Aren't Fat Ass and the Drooler such nice, caring, understanding individuals? What gentlemen they are.

And that was sarcasm I just used.

We need some comments on the McCain Paris Hilton ad (still being flogged) and the Anthrax conspiracy segment. Rerun is just starting; videos available at the countdown site. So let's get some analysis of these.

Quads has weighed in on Paris, Brit n Obama...

How much more deplorable--and cowardly--can Keith "Man on Fan" Olbermann get?

J$

The Million Dollar question! No pun intended....

I wish Fox would have picked up Milbank. Just because it would have pissed off the leftists and it's entertaining to watch them chuck 'em under the bus every time it happens. Like Davis and Wolfeson.

You're right...thanks quads. I hope someone can dissect the Anthrax Konspiracy (#3).

I haven't followed this very closely so it may be that I missed the basis for this from KO:

"correction or an explanation for his column from last week in which he apparently reported an Obama quote without a full context turned the meaning of the quote inside-out."

KO made no effort to illustrate the "context" that he hangs his hat on and for the life of me I don't see the "context" that Milbank omitted.

The pundit for all occasions and the Jimmy Olson of the Anthrax investigations were next up to discuss the suicide of the suspect who would eventually be indicted in the ongoing Grand Jury testimony. Because the facts don’t matter on Olby planet, it is assumed by GWM (Goebell’s Wing Man) that the White House would strong arm the FBI into pinning weapons grade Anthrax on Osama Bin Laden. It does not matter that emotions were running high days after 9/11/01, -- the Bush administration was determined to pound that square peg into the round hole and pin it on OBL. Of course, none of this gibberish mattered since the facts were the facts and it was concluded that it was not the work of Al Queda (even though every major network leaped to the same thought the White House might have).

According to Jim and GWM, the investigation is far from over. Hey, there could be 10 guys other than the main suspect who were handling this particular brand of anthrax. Then McCain's voice could be heard in the Olby echochamber saying 10?......maybe 50 or 100 !!!
