This is the recappers' comment thread for Countdown, August 19 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: Undoubtedly the Big News is that comedian Rachel Maddow of Err America will now follow Herr Olbermann every night. A pair of partisanship! It's a two-fer of tendentiousness! Of course Keith Oralmann was quick to take credit for this development. Watch to see if he pops any buttons tonight.
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.
Dan Abrams was a complete asshole who was no better than comedian Madcow and I am glad he no longer has a program but I hope he stabs Olbermann in the back. Dan Abrams, you have been purged. Get your shovel and report to the nearest box car. Oh and bring a warm coat.
Another one thrown under the MSDNC bus. THUD! When will Scarborough's time come? I am surprised they have not yanked him off the air.
Barry's campaign is floating the VP rumors to divert attention from his disastrous Saddleback performance. Poor desperate libnuts.
Howie plays You Bet Your Life with the veepstakes; he claims Biden is Number Two. Gaffetastic Biden would be a great choice, I think.
Of course Olby has to plug Football Night in America. What an egomaniac.
Barry Soetoro is destroying his own favorability numbers and sinking in the polls due to his own failures and lack of personal conviction to anything, Olby.
What is left of NBC's "reputation" after KO and MADCOW?
Conservatives and Republicans better wake up and start supporting the news organizations which are fair to them. The Soros supported Media Matters is still crowing about how Mike Wallace (FNC) was shut out of the upcoming Presidential debates.
Can you imagine how much worse MSDNC is going to get? KO at least TRIED to pretend he was hosting a "news" program. MADCOW will not even bother with the pretense.
No conservative should EVER consent to be interviewed by NBC until they clean up their act.
You mean Chris Wallace.
I didn't watch WPitW yet, but the News Hole shows the victims were Newt Gingrich, Harvey Kushner, and the East Coast Avengers, of all people. Maybe they went too far in admitting they want to whack Keithy's sworn enemy.
Mister Maddow gets a new show?
Danny Abrams will have to go
(MS)NBC erred
Air Maddow fared
Poorly and her ratings are low
KEITHS MOST GROTESQLY SHAMELESS MOMENT:
Damning Bill O'Reilly under the guise of "defending" him.
Keith, appallingly, yet not surprisingly, delivered the despicable
lyric on a platter to the previously uninformed. He did not, however,
mention that his own voice can be heard in the rap track.
Did Olby sign a release for the use of his voice?
So, O'Reilly Attack #506 happened tonight?
Luckily, the WPitW video hasn't been added yet. I may just back out of recapping it altogether.
Never mind. It's up. Stand by for recap.
What could possibly have possessed the MSNBC big wigs to hire Mr. Maddow as a full-timer? He's an Olbermann clone. Literally. I wonder why they don't try to lure in one of the hot FNC babes, instead of settling for boring androgynous Maddow.
Lets see Olbermann at 8..Maddow at 9 and a Olbermann repeat at 10..ewwww!!!....I just had a disturbing image of a Olbermann/Maddow/Olbermann sandwich...Oh god!!!! please get that picture out of my mind!!!.... LOL!!! New Murrow indeed.
In the Media Matters Minute, KeithO the Klown tried to defend Bill O'Reilly, but only ended up dishing out O'Reilly Attack #506. First, let's get the non-O'Reilly stuff out of the way.
Worse was Newt Gingrich. "How *have* the mighty fallen." "Animated prop on Sean Hannity's show." Alan Colmes is the invisible man on OlbyPlanet. (I searched through the two FOXNews.com videos of Newt's two segments last night and couldn't find the part that was parsed by Merkle.) Sheep viewers! Big oil! [ding!] Criticism of Obama's "inflate your tires" plan is uncalled for. Rev. Olbermoronn wouldn't let that stand via snarky comeback. "Nice try, Sparky." We're stealing Craig Kilborn's lines now? "The pressurized air machines at gas stations are usually owned by either the guy who *owns* the gas station, or at worst...another guy who the local, pressurized air machine franchise. ExxonMobil did not make $11 billion in the second quarter selling freaking air...Nooooooot!" Now holding up papers, Oralmann giggles and howls, "This guy was the Speaker of the Hoooouse!"
Worst was Harvey Kushner "of the woeful HumanEvents.com." Keith let out two frantic shudders at Kushner's image, and another when uttering his name a second time. How dare he "smear my old colleague, Mr. [Jack] Cafferty". Lunatic fringe! [ding!] Worse yet, how dare he compare Cafferty to Joseph Goebbels. Keith "Joseph Goebbels" Olbermann read Kushner's quote on a paper. Anyone else sick of that bit? Herr Olbermann fought back with evil cheer, increased speech tempo, and hand gestures, all once again out of the Howard Beale playbook, which you can buy for $15.99 on Amazon.com. (No, you can't. I'm only kidding.) "So...criticize McCain, and one of McCain's lap-sitters immediately escalates it...to the Nazis! Do not pass go, do not collect 200 bucks. John McCain gets 12 seconds or mless (he stumbled on 'less') on the 'Nightly News' and...it's the Nazis! John McCain is shorter? The Nazis did it! John McCain is caught (raising fingers with each word): lying, cheating, admitting his own admission to be President...(with all five fingers): being in the Keating Five?! It's the Nazis obviously! Harvey 'It's raining because of the Nazis' Kushner, today's Worst...Person...in the World." He said that last line without craziness.
Now to what turned into O'Reilly Attack #506. Worser was the East Coast Avengers, a violent rap group that created a six-minute ditty where they admit they want to kill our humble correspondent...and Michelle Malkin. Their Blue Blog Source, of course, Media Matters. Dean Olbermoronn called the group into his office and told them: "Gentlemen...I'm the last person to disagree with you on the chickenhawk, lying coward, sexist, racist, needs a facelift, whore stuff. But you really need to re-cut this track. Nobody's life should be threatened, not even in the hyperbole of the moment. Besides...you are rappers. You have better ethics than Bill O'Reilly does. Live up to them, don't live down to him. Word to your mother." The freshman staff lightly chuckled.
Olby finally reports a poll negative to B.Hussein Obama with a caveat, it's because of McCain negative attacks. No, it's because Americans are waking up to who Obama really is. I also got a chuckle out of, "questioning Obama's patriotism." How many times will the left roll out this chestnut? In the minds of the lunatic left, telling the truth about your political opponent equals calling someone unpatriotic.
So Olbermann called Bill a "whore?" I'm glad I was watching the olympics.
I wonder if some Country music group did a song about killing KO or Maddow would he push it to his "comical" WPITW segment or would it warrant a "Special Comment"? New Murrow indeed.
To further clarify my recap and avoid any possibility of confusion, there is no such Howard Beale playbook.
So MSNBC is no longer even pretending to have any sense of "balance?" Or maybe they'll bring Tucker back and put him on with Maddow for a "Hannity and Colmes" sort of show....sorry, never mind. That must have been a brain fart or something.
I do wonder when they will get rid of Joe Scarborough. I love watching Morning Joe and think it is one of the most fair shows on in the morning. But only when Joe is on. When he took that long vacation, I couldn't stomach it and I was scared that they had given him the boot. Maybe him and Tucker can go to Fox together.
In closing, I would like to defend Rachel Maddow's looks. She is kinda hot in a butchy lesbian sort of way. Also, "Madcow" is already taken by a radio jockey.
Well good for Madcow. Further evidence that MSNBCommie is out of control. Abrams show in my view was just a bit of a toned down clone of Fatass show. So good riddance. I think Biden is a great choice. His out of control ego and out of control mouth makes him a walking, talking disaster. He has that classic east coast liberal, "if its not written in the New York Times or the Washington Post it can't be believed" mindset. He is a liar, cheat and a plagiarist. Even when he had his hair sewed back on it didn't help. What a loser. What an exercise of "judgement" to chose that guy. What a break for the rest of us.
