Here's a prediction for tonight's Countdown..KO will have to play damage control for Lord Obama's bad performance at the Saddleback Civil Forum..so he'll have two possible lines,,

One-He'll pick up the Leftest blogs talking points that McCain cheated and knew the questions in advance.

Two-He'll spread the rumor that McCain's cross in the sand POW story was made up.

Now both stories are full of holes and sour grapes on Lord Obama's supporters part..but we all know how KO operates and even though there's no proof for either story he'll report them as fact to tarnish McCain and try to polish Lord Obama's bad showing at Saddleback. New Murrow indeed.

He's back! I have to recap tonight! God help me.

Here's what I pessimistically predict: a KO klobbering in the ratings. No, *he* won't be clobbered; *he'll* clobber FNC.

A special comment is promised. Wonder if he will pop any lightbulbs tonight.

Speshul Komment alert! McCain campaign bashes NBC for their libnut leanings and Barry tank-dwelling ways after Lefty Andrea Mitchell repeats lame Soetoro rumors that McCain cheated during the Saddleback non-debate. Olby spitfest on its way.

A special comment is promised. Wonder if he will pop any lightbulbs tonight.

Olby is not one who should talk about "failing upward". He is the poster child for that. How this mental case of a baseball card freak got on national television with a nightly hour of spin, I will never know. I think Satan played a part in that transaction.

Olby and Madddow are making me dizzy by talking in circles. I need to take some dramamine. Fneman just said the media is being too nice to McCain. Is he truly kidding me? Maybe he's dizzy from hearing too much Olbermann.

Howie Fineman owes me a keyboard: He claimed that Loon Andrea Mitchell is "the paragon of objective reporting." HAR! That was a knee-slapper. The air is getting thinner on Olby planet.

Special comment? A given. Those ratings were dropping. A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do and if it means spitfest and whiplash flipping from camera two to camera three then so be it. Grab the rain poncho for the laughing stagehand before he thinks tropical storm Fay has hit him.

Let me get this right. Olby’s fake outrage is over his belief that McCain CHEATED at a FAITH forum? Like no one could predict what those questions would be? Like no one watched the democratic forum on religion earlier in the primaries, and gosh I bet some of those questions would be identical. Like no one hypothesized those questions in the multitudes of articles that preceded the forum? Has eveyone lost their freakin mind?

But hey, if it means KO is going to do one of those steroid-pumped rants that make his jowls shake and his veins pop out on command, well, I’m all for it. There’s so little comedy on tonight. Comment forth, KO. I’ll get my popcorn.

Something to think about -

Wasn’t it Rick Warren who used the term cone of silence? Shouldn’t he and his organizers have maintained the integrity of the questioning? Is Olby questoning the integrity of this religious group and declaring war on RW and the evangelicals? Is he trying to say Rick Warren was slanting this forum in McCain’s favor? KO is on some think ice here.

looking for love and pimping the comment, the Kos way

Rick Warren gave both candidates a few questions in advance. And Rick Warren absolutely did use the term "cone of silence", which I construed as a joke anyway.

Given the timing, McCain wouldn't have had much time to get advance questions and then have time to rehearse spot-on responses from the hotel to the green room. And he already knew some of the questions because Warren divulged them to both camps. And I won't go into the ummmm, errrrrs and uhhhhhs uttered by Barry, which took up at least 10 minutes of the first 30.

Wow, Olby still claiming the Surge didn't work....

The prelude to the Special Education Komment was the Media Matters Minute. If the Hour of Spin were an amusement park, I've chosen to go on a kiddie ride. The SEK is Splash Mountain. Good luck to whomever recaps *that*.
Worse was O'Reilly Attack #505, which I'll recap last.
Worser was Bill Kristol. Factual error! Cone of Silence! Skiparoo.
Worst was Jerome Corsi. Olbermoronn rained on the parade of the success of "The Obama Nation." Nah, I'll pass on recapping. Back to Mr. Bill.
Billo the Clown! [ding!] "He has cried havoc and let slip the dogs of war!" Stalker producers! [ding!] Church shooter hated liberals! Sainted "Newsday" columnist mentioned our humble correspondent in an article about said shooter. The producer "waited in her driveway and then abused her." Any of you OlbyWatch readers buying that? Fat Ass replied: "Seriously, Bill, for that?! Are you 100% paranoid now?! The next time you send one of these guys out, will it be to harass some guy that cut you off on the Pulaski Skyway?!"
This was a half-assed recap, but I'm not in the mood for a full one.

This is easily his weakest and non-point-having SEK ever. Obviously thrown together at the last minute.

But PHilly, in Olbyland this is all a perfect storm for a meaningless controversy and a chance to attack MCain.

By the way, got to love Get Smart. Yes, I took RW's phrasing as a joke, too, but apparently KO thinks nothing was secure enough for him. Maybe McCain should have been held at a replica of his POW camp. Maybe that would have been good enough.

Even if McCain knew the questions in advance(which he didn't)...that doesn't excuse Lord Obama's poor showing..it dose show why LO been avoiding Town hall meetings with McCain though..without a teleprompter or prepared speech LO dose not shine to well off the cuff...but lucky for LO he has KO and other members of the MSM to defend him like they are now with these attacks on Mccain to cover LO butt. New Murrow indeed.

True, ktt. This stuff sends Olby's roids in an uproar. A Meltdown Tizzy.

And I guess "grow up" is more grown up that bellowing "Shut the hell up" into the camera, Jimmy Legs.

I ended up watching (or listening to the DVR-delayed TV while covering my eyes and looking down) the rest of WPitW. Kristol was named because the NY Times corrected his column. Then, he was basically called a lousy writer. Corsi was named because, in a March column, he suggested that al-Qaeda was endorsing McCain (or something, I forgot already). This was followed by another conservatives-are-dumb jab.
If a "Factor" producer did indeed ambush that Newsday columnist, it'll probably be a while before the video is shown, what with back-to-back conventions and all.

Krazy Keith's on Obama's campaign
Uses Countdown to bash John McCain
"The news show of record"
Reputation checkered
Blowing Obama, B. Hussein

WOW, I mean WOW? I just got done watching Slobbermann EXPLODE.
His Special Comment tonight was over the top for him. I almost fell out of my recliner when he said that McCain needed an ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT. Then he has the nuts to tell McCain to GROW UP. This wack job kieff Slobbermann has finally lost it. Folks, this is what happens when your ratings start to tank, your savior imbarrASSes you with nothing but ......ummmmms and uhhhhhhs. It's like the joke that's going around that OsamaObama and McCain are ice fishing and whoever catches the most fish in 3 days wins the Presidency. To make a long story short, Obama claims McCain is cheating by cutting holes in the ice. Friends, I can't wait for the recap of tonights show, this has got to be one of the greatest nights yet.

"he said that McCain needed an ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT"SoCalRightist

I guess KO means like the one the North Vietnamese gave him? New Murrow indeed.

ANOTHER REASON WHY KEITH WOULD CATCH A BEAT DOWN IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD I COME FROM: He used the words " calumny, persiflage, and dyspeptic" all in the same sentance. And had a whiney, pinched look on his face,too !

And fourth, encouraging Senator McCain, while there, to address his opponent in the language of unseemly contempt, undignified calumny, and holier-than-thou persiflage unsupported by reality... near-nonsensical bluster that -- at best -- makes the speaker look like a dyspeptic grouchy neighbor shouting "Hey you kids, get out of my yard."

"What Davis is really saying here, of course, is that he wants no level of objectivity, that the only campaign he wants questioned is Obama,..."

Thanks for your interpretation Keith, but his actual words did not say that at all. If that were the case, wouldn't it make sense for Rick Davis to send that letter to all major news organizations requesting more objective coverage? After all, NBC and MSNBC's viewership makes up only a portion of the voting public. No, the reason MSNBC was singled out as a "concern" is because of the shameless pro-Obama hackery performed during the 8pm Hour of Spin. You even come close to admitting this yourself:

"Senator McCain -- did you pay any attention to the Democratic primaries? Did you notice the hair-pulling frenzy of some of Senator Clinton's supporters who could not face the possibility that her loss might have been her fault -- or theirs -- and thus it must be ours?"

Yes, remind us again Keith of how you threw Sen. Clinton "under the bus" [ding!]. But that was a nice trick, trotting out another Democrat to create a smokescreen of non-partisanship. You're right, though- the public sees through this nonsense.

John McCain won at Saddleback??? HE MUST HAVE CHEATED!!!! An EVIL RELIGOUS NEOCON ZELOT THOUGHT CRIMINAL gave McSHAME the answers. Karl Rove was with McCain in "cone of silence". Remember if republicans win, it is because they cheated on Olby planet. Diebold invented a special hearing devise for McCain. It was given to him by Karl Rove.

I sent Johnny the OlbyRobot reading. You'll love it. I'm listening to my copy now, without having seen the real thing.

Now this is funny and and prophetic, Olbermann always starts his 1st comment after his main blog with: "Tip Jar". It's all about himself begging for recognition from the the KOS kids living in Mom's basement.

He asks for tips to buy popcorn. As if his spiel is equivalent to a great football game.

I remember Terrel Owens saying the same thing about playing my NY Giants. How'd that work out?

I can see Olby crying just like Owens: "You know this isn't about Barack (sniff, sniff) You guys can talk about the vacation but if you do it isn't really fair (sniff, sniff). We lost as a team man, we lost as a team (arghh, sniff, sniff)
