    Olbermann Watch, "persecuting" Keith since 2004


    August 11, 2008
    Countdown: Monday Recappers Thread

    Bathtub Boy

    This is the recappers' comment thread for Countdown, August 11 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 they will form the nucleus of 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, and may toss a few opinions of our own into the mix. We need your help to document the shameless "journalism" of Krazy Legs Olbermann.

    What to watch for tonight: This is follow-up day. Just as the infamous, deplorable one did day after day of follow-up "investigative" on the Cheney shooting conspiracy, or the anthrax conspiracy, so we should expect follow-up reporting on the unanswered questions in the Edwards affair. Right? Oh, and it's also comedy day. Remember Larry Craig Puppet Theater? We should also expect Olby to turn his mannequins loose on Edwards. Right?

    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 comments later tonight in the official OlbyWatch Recap.

    Edwards pupet theater would be X-rated and therefore not suitable for primetime. Did I just enable for Olbermann? I hate it when that happens.

    Olby and The Mad Cow are America-bashing again. Surprise, surprise. We are to blame for Russia's invasion of Georgia. It's all our fault that KGB loyalists run Russia and and pine for the days of totalitarian glory and brutality. Putie-Tang is pulling a Hitler and annexing those former Soviet satellite countries that suffered so greatly during the Cold War. And we're to blame, America, says Olby and The Mad Cow.

    Maybe Edwards Puppet Theater could be a re-enactment of The Breck Girl's recent 3 a.m. visit with Rielle, Bob McGovern and the baby (what baby?) at the Beverly Hilton.

    My recap, without even watching....let me know how I did.

    #1. McCain keeps harping on the Obama=Celebrity meme, but Obama fired back today with both barrels, aiming the celebrity gun right back in McCains face (accompanied by at least 1 full, free play of the commercial, as well as having it playing on loop while KO and his guest (whoever from Newsweek drew the short straw tonight) fight to give The One the hardest pat on the back.

    #2. KO and Madcow blame Bush for Russia v. Georgia, the brutal knife attack on Americans in China, the falling dollar, the economy, and falling gas prices. Wait forget that last one.

    #3. Bush sucks. Those damn Neocons are in hiding right now designing plans to attack Russia and Iran. In fact, Bush probably told Russia to start this, less than three months from election day, when Obama leads in the polls, just to escalate the politics of fear and get McCain elected. Because McCain is just like Bush. And Cheney. Combined.

    #4. McCain sucks. And he's just like Bush and Cheney. And a bigger celebrity than Obama.

    Worst person: BillO, and 2 others from a group including Elrushbo, anyone on Fox News, Michael Savage and Glen Beck. I have no reasons for any of these, because I haven't read Media Matters.


    You got the Fox News part right for Worst Persons, Scott. Keith is still desperately trying to convince the world (or lately 503,000 people) that Fox accepts talking points from the White House. I didn't know talking about Edwards' affair was an official TP.

    ITS ALL BUSH'S FAULT!!!!!! If not for Iraq Vlad the Impaler would have never invaded Georga. If a democrat were in office they could use the mighty power of peace talks to change the heart and mind of Vlad the Impaler. Remember peace through peace. Ronald Reagan used flower power to blow down the Berlin wall.

    I'm waiting patiently for the segment videos to show up on the "Countdown" page.

    Actually, I hope it never shows up. Recapping is painful. And I don't want to contribute to Olby's ratings by watching the 10:00 rerun.

    Every time I switched over he was pointing out others' mistakes. KO really should rethink the Teddy Roosevelt quote about "It's not the critic who counts ...but the man who is actually in the arena." I have no respect for Olbermann because what accomplishments has he brought to pass? What contribution has he made to better society? His silly NewsHour? Surely that's a joke. His so-called speaking truth to power? Again, a farce. Who put him in a position to correct or mock others when he is so flawed? I wish I could add some humor tonight but KO disgusts me. Sorry. I'll try to do better next time.

    You won't believe this, but I just saw a pro-McCain ad...on NBC! It might have been part of WNBC's (4 New York) local ad block, but whatever.

    It's 9:57 and the videos still aren't up. I'll just recap via The News Hole:
    In the Media Matters Minute, Sean Hannity, Stuart Shepherd, and Gregg Jarrett (Blue Blog Source: Think Propaganda). Thankfully, I didn't get to watch video of this segment--Great Thanks, slow pokes at MSNBC.com--but Johnny informed me that Edward R. Olbermann lifted an anti-Jarrett story from that site and ran with it. Johnny poked many holes in the T-Pro story yesterday at J$P: http://homepage.mac.com/mkoldys/blog/wwj240074573.html
    In Olbermoronn's mind, FNC really doesn't care about the Russia-Georgia conflict, and Bonnie Erbe is an interview hijacking heroine. Did he even bother to check the facts? If so, he'd see that it was covered intensely in the hour or so of "America's Election HQ" leading up to the Erbe interview. Steve Harrigan in Tbilisi, Amy Kellogg in Moscow, Douglas Paal of Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in D.C., and Gregg Jarrett and Julie Banderas in New York. But of course, Fat Ass didn't bother to check. You know why, but I'll repeat it anyway: because KeithO the Klown is a slovenly, political hack. Anything that doesn't fit his agenda doesn't get reported in the Hour of Spin. You know, I think that'd make a Dog that Didn't Bark.

    And let me just say that I am richer for not having watched tonight's WPitW.

    It was 9:57 when I started typing that 10:09 comment.

    Gonna guess that other dogs that didn't bark include Hillary!'s aides saying that if they'd gone after the Edwards affair story they'd have won, as well as reports that Hillary! was advised to go after The One as lacking American roots.

    Former Philadelphia Flyer and Norris Trophy winner Rachel Maddow puts on her foreign policy expert hat tonight. Someone needs to tell her to shave that 5 o’clock shadow. Olbermann attacks Angelina Jolie because she has not goose stepped behind Obamanation yet. Remember think is not allowed on Olbermann planet. You might get convicted of a thought crime and purged like the sock puppet we can't speak of.

    Okay, the video is up. I guess I couldn't escape for long.
    Worse was Hannity. I skipped through some of it, but heard Olby quoting what sounded like the lead-in to a "Hannity and Colmes" segment. A lead-in rhetorical question is not an opinion, Olbermoronn. Worst was that Shepherd (or is it Shepard?) guy. I've never heard of him. Worser was Gregg Jarrett. Since I spent most of my earlier comment on that, I will tell you how it was covered on OlbyPlanet:
    Fixed News! [ding!] "This is one of the all-time great non-sequiturs." Keith did a radio DJ-esque voice for Jarrett. The factless Merkle's snarky comeback was: "Do you ever get the sense that if one of these poor schmucks over there at Fox Noise [ding!] lets the conversation stray away *from* the White House Talking Points, you get beaten savagely by Roger Ailes?" Again, an hour of Georgia overlooked by Think Progress and eaten up as fact by Man on Fan.

    Do you ever get the sense that if Olbermann at MSDNC lets the conversation stray away from what is posted at Think Propaganda or The Daily Kook that the storm troopers at those blogs would smash their keyboards through their TV sets. .

    Wouldn't that be fitting Factor--to see Olbermann hoisted on his own petard? that would be poetic justice indeed don't you think?
