Keith claims Barack's ten points ahead
Further proof that Olby's brain dead
All polls indicate
McCain's tied the slate
Better check where that train hit Keith's head

Pre-game analysis:

MzMad will certainly bat clean up tonight. She'll smile that sweet innocent smile and claim that Obama's statements that he has a funny name and that he doesn't look like the other presidents on dollar bills is "probably the most honest thing he's said during the campaign."

Only problem with that is, that's not all Obama said:

"So nobody really thinks that...that Bush or McCain had a real answer for the challenges we face, so what they're gonna try to do is make you scared, of me! 'Ya know, he's not patriotic enough, he's got a funny name...he, ya know, he doesn't look like all those other presidents on those dollar bills."

So, if we're gonna buy that analysis, we'll have to buy the "he's not patriotic enough."

I just watched the first segment on the Anthrax killer offing himself, and I have to say WOW! For the most part, that was an even-handed accounting of the story. From the LA Times guy (who looked like he was loathe to be there) and then Pozner, I kept expecting Jimmy Legs to tie it to Bush, and except for the same-old "they scared us into war" whine at the very it, I was surprised.

Media Matters Minute: Bill O'Reilly, Rep. Michele Bachmann, Rush Limbaugh/George W. Bush/George H.W. Bush. The TV was muted and closed-captioning turned off, but "Man on Fan" Olbermann looked his usual evil self.

Time to expand on my previous comment:
In the Media Matters Minute, Keith "Man on Fan" Olbermann achieved a landmark milestone that many of his baseball heroes have reached in home runs. (I'll let Johnny give the number later.) I think you know why. Yes, the Olbsession was fed in the Worse category. Bill O'Reilly, the host of the #1 cable news show for seven years and counting, "The O'Reilly Factor," was yet again in Olbermahn's crosshairs. "#3: Billo the Clown [ding!]" Loofah! [ding!] Keithy's mad that Mr. Bill touted the successful ratings numbers for "The Factor" and FNC (MSNBC came in 30th among all cable channels) in last night's Reality Check segment. The infamous hysterical Ted Baxter voice was used quoting a Blue Blog transcript of said segment. To the family and friends of the late Ted Knight, I'm very sorry you have to put up with this time after time. Ted was an icon, an American TV icon as BOR might put it, and he doesn't deserve to have his likeness besmirched by this cretin. Anyway, when Edward R. Olbermann had completed his hyperbolic reading, which featured a likely intentional mispronunciation of Kasich, he said the following: "I got your reality check right here, Goober." Another TV icon besmirched. (George Lindsey was the guest for the American TV Icon segment on March 7.) Laughing from the eternally sophomoric staff. "In July, 'Countdown' was the #3 rated show in all of cable news, adults 25 to 54 behind Billo [ding!] and Hannity." Poor Alan Colmes. He doesn't exist to KeithO the Klown. "We were the #2 rated show in all of cable news, adults 18 to 49." Evil glee begins to set in. "Aaaaaand we were the #1 rated show in all of cable news, adults 18 to 34, and Billo [ding!] was third." Second was "MSNBC Investigates." Nothing like cherry-picking your ratings, eh, Fat Ass? The final blow was: "And since (leftward body/head tilt) *I* was off for two weeks in July, I want to thank Rachel Maddow for KICKING THE ASSES (staff laughs) of Laura Ingraham, John Kas-itch, and E.D. Hill. But don't worry, Bill. You're still dominating that important demographic: 65 to dead." Deep comedic inhalation, puffy face, and more staff laughs.
At this point, I have no energy to recap the rest in detail. Michele Bachmann was Worser, and Limbaugh, Bush 41, and Bush 43 were all Worst because they praised Roger Ailes. I've had it with Keith Oralmann. I can't take this crap anymore. I think I'm going to unfortunately retire from recapping of any kind. Please, people. Pick up the recapping tab. I said this Wednesday and yesterday, but Johnny can't do this by himself. I am a huge Bill O'Reilly fan, viewer, and listener, and I am damn tired of having to recap this a**hole's constant attacks. I cannot wait for the day that this monster is taken off the air! You are an awful human being and I have no damn idea how the hell you live with yourself! Do us a favor and go back to sports and stay there!
Yes, John Gibson, you have my permission to read this on your show. I am Mike Chimeri (shimAIRe) and I despise Bathtub Boy.
