This is the recappers' comment thread for Countdown, August 21 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. You know, the guy who runs MSNBC.
What to watch for tonight: Threatening letters containing white powder sent to several McCain HQ officers. Watch for Edward R Olbermann to talk about how the incessant demonizing of McCain inspired the terrorist threats on a war hero.
Or not.
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.
Prediction...Watch KO go into "Truther" mode and claim the sent powder was an "inside job"..and downplay it..forgetting how he flipped out about soap powders. New Murrow indeed.
Olby's manhood quotient could sink to its lowest levels if Mr. Bubbles doesn't report the McCain threat incident or makes some kind of excuse for why it happened (including MLong's great prediction that it was an inside job). Olby, the soap-flake truther.
Lefty Alter prognosticates that Barry Soetoro's veep pick is Joe Biden. The deluded Alter somehow thinks Biden's big obnoxious yap is a plus, not a minus. Gaffetastic! Biden will blow another hole in Barry's sinking ship in no time flat.
Olby thinks it's Hillary. Never say never, says Lefty Alter. Hillary's "cathartic process" during Tuesday's floor vote will help unify the party, Alter says. There's no incentive for her to sabotage Obama. How silly. The Clinton's would get someone else to do their dirtywork. What is Alter thinking?
John McCain is out of touch with Americans because he's made wise choices with his money.
Based on my trip to the News Hole, tonight's WPitW victims were John Gard, Rush Limbaugh, and General David Petraeus. Yes, more military bashing from Jane Fonda Olbermann. Once video is up, I'll recap.
McOlbermahn thinks he's McCute
McJournalist in a McSuit
McHack, McInsane
McObama's campaign
McOlbermahn will McPollute
The Flaming One Legged Flamingo, previously known as Whatzizname, unbelievably (When speaking about the screeds of FOLF, can the continued use of that particular qualifier be justified?) ridiculed the McCain campaign spokesman for using the term " 5 1/2 years in prison" instead of "POW camp," like that's an attempt to try and make the experience seem worse than it actually was, showing precisely how ignorant, insensitive, cruel and torturous this sad excuse of a pink wading bird really is.
Memo to FOLF: 1. POW = PRISONER of War
2. The Hanoi Hilton = Hoa Lo PRISON
3. Built in 1901 by the French who renamed the street it was on rue de la PRISON," or in Vietnamese, "Pho Nha Tu" which translates to PRISON Street.
4. When the French left in 1954, Vietnamese officials changed the name of the street and PRISON back to Hoa Lo.
All things considered, I'm certain Sen. McCain would have preferred to spend 5 1/2 years in whatever the FOLF's conception is of a prison rather than the "camp" he 'attended.'
Barf! I just saw a promo (during the Verdict) with a voice over of KO, patriotic music playing, then ending with his oh so patriotic face...
Citizen Keith continued to advance the notion that by McCain commenting on the draft, he was essentially announcing his true intentions once he becomes president.
It does not matter that the Al Jazeera @ 30 Rock gang (which has become NBC news) reported the story ad nausea a couple of years back, accusing Bush of wanting to reinstitute the draft --- which never happened.
Fat Ass is clearly under the misguided assumption that he can pick an issue and actually make it a campaign issue. Keith is clearly as narcissistic as "legs wide open" John Edwards.
But what do you expect from the gang of MSLSD. The acid has clearly gone to there head as they fly the American Flag upside down.
I think I know the one you're talking about, Sharon. In it, he says: "We, as citizens, must, at some point, ignore partisanship. Not that we may prosper as a nation, but that merely we may function." Was that it?
So, did Oralmann do an outraged report over the threatening letters sent to the McCain campaign? Did he do a non-outraged report? Did he even mention it? We need to know for the recap!
I tune in right at 9:00 to see just what "olbydouche" might be discussing on a particular night. Tonight, it seemed to me, his WHOLE show was going to be ridiculing McCain for his "HOW MANY HOUSES DO I OWN?" "controversy". I feel utterly stupid even saying this, but how much play would this get if were Obama?? The answer is obvious.
How this lunatic still gets 50 or 100,000 people to watch on a given night is a scary thought. What a tool.
KEITHS MOST PRICELESS BACKFIRE MOMENT: You could almost hear Homer Simpson coughing " DUH!"
E. J. Dionne Jr. insisted on squeaking in one last comment, thankfully.
It took all the air out of Olby's segment ridiculing John McCain for being a wealthy out-of-touch elitist.
Olbermann: " ..and thank you, uh, go ahead..."
E.J. Dionne Jr.: "uh, ok, and I was going to say we can bring in John Edwards Barber and do some $400 haircuts!
Olbermann: " ..........alright".
The video still isn't up on the "Countdown" website. I had to Google "worst person" "august 21." I ended up at Democratic Underground. Stand by for the recap.
Howard Fineman wishes he can be "cool and accepted" on Countdown with the olbyloons. The black hair dye just is not cutting it, but he tries oh so hard to hit Olby's wheelhouse demographic of 18-24 year old young boys.
E.J. Dionne has never looked more like a frog than he did tonite. When his picture flashed up he looked like he was ready to leap, arms spread apart, hunkered over posed in the fly catching mode. What a bunch of weirdo's.
I find it amazing that all these talking head millionaires are taking about other's wealth.
Leave it to Obama to go after Mccain's real estate holdings. I mean, how stupid is BhO??
And now, the most dreaded two minutes in television, the latest from the Media Matters grapevine. By that, I mean, it's time for the Media Matters Minute. The good news is there was no O'Reilly attack. The bad news is the following people *were* attacked:
Worse was John Gard, a Republican running for Congress in Wisconsin's 8th District. T. Boone Olbermann says the notion that Cuba is drilling off the Florida coast is "flat-out horse hockey." "Cuba granted *leases* to foreign countries to explore for oil on Cuban *land*. Mr. Gard does make sense at one point in the ad when he concludes, (mimicky voice): 'Makes no sense to me.'" This is the same clueless conservatives card he played with Rudy Giuliani a few weeks ago. Here's Gard's campaign website: http://www.gardforcongress.com/Home.aspx
Worser was Gen. David Petraeus. Yes, Jane Fonda Olbermann once again goes after the military...not to mention organized religion. Gen. Petraeus endorse a book by an evangelical Lutheran Chaplain. Horrors! He must be taken down! "Never mind the impact on those soldiers who are not of [the Chaplain's] faith. How about Army regulations against...promoting religion against *proselytizing*?! General Petraeus, who never has never been troubled by Army regulations, nor *Constitutional* ones, claims that when [the Chaplain] asked him for a recommendation, he didn't give him permission to *publish* it, that it was only intended for [the Chaplain] personally." An evil grin sets in. "Yes, you're right," Rev. Olbermoronn tells his credulous lemmings, "that *doesn't* make any sense. Guy asks ya for a book blurb and you don't expect him to print it. But it gets worse." I'll bet it does. "Petraeus' endorsement has been on that book jacket...since the book was published *last year*."
Worst was "comedian [ding!] Rush Limmmbaaaugh, defending John McCain... What else? That's what it says on the Talking Points Rush gets. ...by attacking Obama's response to McCain's attack ad." There goes the Talking Points meme again. Talking Points this, Talking Points that. Oralmann does a Limbaugh impression while reading a parsed blue blog quote. He then chimes back with: "There's...4,000 jokes in there, like, uh, 'bout the last time comedian [ding!] was called either little...or a *man*. But hidden in that statement...Rush? You're suggesting that you should be able to hit the girl?" Okay, I don't know if that's a pleasuring reference or a violence against women reference. "Comedian [ding!] Rush Limmmmmbaaaaaugh!" And you know what the last line was.

So how much property does Fatass own?
Honestly, I suspect McCain probably doesn't know. The boss has the cash in the family and she is likely to be the owner. At least he pays his property taxes. Hizzoner appears to be a real estate mogul himself but like the slum landlords, tends to forget those tidy little things like property taxes.
Klein should take some hair off the backside and put it on top. Perhaps he can consult with Biden on how to do that.
Quads on is absolutely correct. The Limo Libs can really crack you up. Pity all the poor people who can't take a jaunt on Air Force One. But don't mention they also can't bus to school in KO's Limo.
For those that don't know, when President Bush was in Beijing two weeks ago, he met with Misty May-Trainor and Kerri Walsh, your eventual Gold Medal winners. He pat one of them on their lower back (just above the butt). I forgot if it was Misty, Kerri, or both. What I took from that interview was they both wanted kids...badly. I was just glad they won. That was a hard fought match; in the rain, no less.
Those two are awesome. Watching the men now and they are struggling.
I couldn't get past olby's carnival barking opening spiel tonight, "McCain meltdown." I guess getting spanked by The Ingraham Factor last night really gave KO the vapors.
