Um, did KO really attempt to defend REAGAN'S honor by "telling" Newt he'd have to ask him to "step out side?"

Is this really the Left's spokesman, issuing his best defense of Obama's ego? By saying, I have to repeat it, "And Newt, let me tell ya. If you're gonna throw Ronald Reagan under the bus, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to ask you step outside."??????

Seriously? What's the weather forcast in hell tomorrow? Are the Kossacks really so offended that Newt "(threw) Reagan under the bus"? (DING!) that they told KO to go out there and protect the Reagan legacy?

Jesus H Christ on a popsicle stick, if Reagan's last line of defense is Keith Olbermann, let the apocalypse start now.

He wasn't defending Reagan. He was saying that conservatives are dumb hypocrites for bashing Obama for telling Berliners that he isn't just a citizen of the U.S., but of the World, while their hero Ronald Reagan said the same thing 21 years ago. And I need to make two corrections. I meant to type "under the bus [ding!]" and "ask you to step outside."

I have a bad feeling Keithy will rebound in the ratings tonight. God forbid.

Daily Kos got an exclusive from Elizabeth? She wrote to them?

Funniest thing, his guest Chris Kofins says, "When the news broke this morning to say it was devastating and disappointing would be putting it lightly." - Really? Evidently he reads the NY Times and watches MSNBC all the time that this is a complete shock.

In the same vane Fat Ass says (without laughing), "As a professional journalist, I have to ask, what made them think (Mr. & Mrs. Edwards) they could hide this from a 24/7 news cycle [insert something about Civil War here]" ?

Maybe because 99% of MSM are in bed with the Democrats and would never report the story let alone investigate it like they should for the American people.

Alternate universe version of CD where Whatzhizname is a conservative, RW mouthpiece, anti-left commentator"

Whayzhizname lead story: How could a man with a law degree, a license to practice law and who was a successful litigator (suit filer) possibly believe his conduct up to today could approach anything close to "being 99% honest?"

As a former Senator, one of the Big Three Democratic primary candidates for president and who was being considered for VP or a cabinet post said today, "...I take full responsibility. But that misconduct" only happened once, a long, long time ago, and besides, I didn't inhale.

I think I have it figured out…

Twice now….KO has made issue of criticism’s leveled at OBAMASON for his “citizen of the world” remark.

I have noticed several stories getting rehashed over the last couple of months, which would lead one to think that Olbywan is running out of fresh material.

Let’s face it, it’s quite the chore creating 48 minutes of distortion, obfuscation, and pulling the rest directly from one’s anus.

But when you can keep going back to the O’Reilly well over and over and over again and pull it off with KO’s grace and style, lack of new topics can’t be the problem.

No, what is going on is Blowbermann attempting to use some JEDI MIND TRICK to SUBLIMINALLY link Barak “pass the bicycle pump” Obama to a TRUE man of the world, PRESIDENT RONALD WILSON REAGAN.

Nice try Keithy…..but we’re on to your ploy.

OH YEAH….and one more thing…..

A baseball nerd (that looked like he needed a Red Bull) who is “scientifically” calling the electoral college?

Really Keith?

I can’t wait for next weeks show where you feature an NHL referee who will “scientifically” prove how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.

Mmm, just incredulity on COUNTDOWN? I just read the recaps and did not see the show.....Olbermann did not deride, make fun of, or even snicker once at the obvious hypocrisy and stupidity of THE BRECK GIRL?....

What a difference the party or ideology makes in the coverage....Compare this fall from grace to such pols as Bennett or Craig....I believe if we look at the archives we would see a laughing Olbermann instead of an indignant one....Or how about Reverand Haggard?....What a different response from the professional journalist, Keith Olbermann....

How about even how he treats pundits like O'Reilly or Limbaugh?....Why is Edwards not now included in the comedy?

Please...MikeH or any of the Olbermann defenders...please explain to me the differences between the comical approach to covering sex scandals versus the serious, politically disturbing approach.

Indeed, Olberdouche looked like he was attending a funeral during the Edwards story, whereas he was filled with glee while announcing the "Breaking News" of McCain's "affair".

What a hack.

What a hoot.

Associated Press, New York Times, NBC, ABC, CNN,... and who breaks the most important political news of the year?

The National Enquirer.

What a hoot.

Cee: "Please...MikeH or any of the Olbermann defenders...please explain to me the differences between the comical approach to covering sex scandals versus the serious, politically disturbed approach."

Obviously I can't Cee.......I can't explain that any more than I can explain your own unmistakable glee when a political scandal breaks your way?.......I can't explain that any more than I can explain why you would post lies about taxation rates for political purposes, and then pretend the inflated amount isn't important when caught?......I can't explain that any more than I can explain why you would continually publicly disrespect the given name of of a United States Presidential nominee of a major party?........and finally Cee, I can't explain that any more than I can explain your constant deriding of the motives of those you disagree with by branding them as "politically motivated" or "un-American"?

So Cee, please spare us your hypocritical righteous indignation and taunting!

> your constant deriding of the motives of those you disagree with by branding them as "politically motivated" or "un-American"?

My my, the very same words the infamous, deplorable Keith Olbermann has used against people HE disagrees with. I guess you can't explain that either.

J$: "My my, the very same words the infamous, deplorable Keith Olbermann has used against people HE disagrees with. I guess you can't explain that either."

Maybe you've just failed to notice that I haven't tried either?

I have to hand one thing to you J$.....you are an absolute master at staying on message.

It's not hard, watching Olbypologists condemning people for using the same arguments that Olby himself uses. And yet the Olbypologists somehow don't condemn Olby. I'd say that's curious, but then, that's why they're Olbypologists!

How's your day going, Mike?
For everyone else, I was watching a show I recorded on the Travel Channel on Thursday night and in Cablevision's local ad block, there was a commercial for...get ready for it..."Countdown with Keith Olbermann." It featured fawning reviews from various media outlets coming out of a copy machine. Then, the commercial cut to old, Secaucus-based clips of The Hour of Spin; particularly, Olby throwing balled-up papers at the camera. At the end, there was this Cablevision-based gem: "Brought to you locally by Land Rover." Then, there was an ad for "The Daily Show." I guess this says something about what kind of people watch the Travel Channel and why John Ratzenberger's and Mark DeCarlo's shows were canceled. Also, the same people that own "The Palm Beach Post," Cox Communications, also own the Travel Channel after buying it from Discovery Networks last year. I can sense the shipping of "Made in America" and "Taste of America" off to late night and weekend slots before being cut loose had Cox's approving fingerprints all over it.

And to just to avoid any confusion, our own Bob Cox's hands are *not* on the cancellation nor Cox Communications.

This is the third night Olbermann has been down dramatically. He barely breached 500K. This is becoming a pattern. I'm really liking this.

Notice: Nancy Grace kicked his butt by a considerable margin. I wondering if he's going nuts at this point. I would bet.

He deserves every bit of this.
As a side note, what I love about this site is we're all registered commenters. No trolls show up here from sites like Newshounds. Johnny Dollar's Place now is what OlbyWatch used to be: a place where at any given second, a troll could show up, disrupt a comment thread, the regular commenters take the troll's bait, and a comment thread with around 10 to 20 comments turns into a thread with 100 to 300 comments! I consider the troll commenters from Newshounds cyber-terrorists. What else could you call them? But I digress.
On to the Monday recappers thread...

The newshounders are barking up the wrong tree where Olby's concerned.
