    Olbermann Watch, "persecuting" Keith since 2004

    Countdown: Wednesday Recappers Thread

    Bathtub Boy

    This is the recappers' comment thread for Countdown, August 13 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 they will form the nucleus of 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, and may toss a few opinions of our own into the mix. We need your help to document the shameless "journalism" of Krazy Legs Olbermann.

    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.

    How is John McCain's statement "We are All Georgians" arrogant, Clarence Page? Once again, Olby blames everyone but Vlad Putie-tang for the invasion and occupation of Georgia. No one heeded warnings, yadda yadda. Olby and the Moonbats keep comparing Russia's most recent atrocity with the invasion of Iraq. How is Georgia's president anything like Saddam Hussein, a villain and murderer? Stupidity is contagious on OlbyPlanet.,

    In the 4th story in the Countdown, the democratic veepstakes was discussed.

    If Fat Ass is reading the tea leaves correctly, the nation will be treated to either Joe “Dunkin Donuts” Biden or Evan Bayh as BhO’s VP pick.

    In the opinion of Quads, Bayh is probably out -- since he now eerily looks like he can pass for John Edwards, if he only got one of those $400 haircuts. Those Americans who cling to religion, guns and the National Enquirer will no doubt be confused that Bayh may actually be Edwards in disguise.

    Biden has a litany of gaffes dating back 20 years from plagiarism to Indian slurs. Both Olby and SleezCilliza felt his plagiarism-gate of 20 years ago was ancient history. Leave it to Olby to introduce The Keating 5 and McCain’s marital mulligan – which is even more ancient history. Only on Olby planet can one democratic piece of news appear old and an older piece of republican history appear relevant.

    Both hyenas chuckled and agreed that perception matters more than reality with the veepstakes and the VP pick should be designed merely to “do no harm”. What? Is that it? Do no harm? How many endless hours on Olbyplanet have the VP choices been discussed? Now, the VP choice is dismissed as an “insignificant” subject.

    I guess perception is going to have to trump reality since “Dunkin Donuts Biden” amassed around 3 delegates during the presidential campaign and will make an absolutely awful VP choice. He is the equivalent of John Kerry on steroids. I wonder how much air-time Fat Ass is going to dedicate to Biden’s temper -- As much as McCain’s?

    Fat Chance Fat Ass.

    The number 1 story returned to the continuing saga between The Soup and Olbermann. It really begs the question…Who the hell cares about this? I mean, get the barf bag.

    It became clear to whatever audience was left that the true meaning of the MSDNC upside-down flag (still being featured in the lower-right hand corner of the screen) was really a distress signal to get these two idiots off the air.

    He's probably got a potential new GF on he hook who is on the staff at The Soup, thus explaining his frequent appearances on the show.

    Clarence Page?! He crossed enemy lines and went on "Countdown"?

    Upside-down is how they fly the flag
    Olympians and patriots gag
    (MS)NBC
    Would prefer anarchy
    And Obama has them in the bag

    In the Media Matters Minute ("not including Rush Limbaugh"), Worse was New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly. How dare he have heightened security around the newly built World Trade Center (when construction is complete). "Quote [ding!], 'normal'." "Commissioner, Mayor Bloomberg, I-I know you guys intend the best here, but I'm sorry. If you go through with this *draconian* plan, that will mean that the tip of the island of Manhattan, anyway, there, the terrorists will have won." Wow, Keithy really *is* far-left.
    Worser was Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN). Tangential moment: In her two recent "Factor" appearances, she had a bad case of the "that's rights." You know, where a guest says "that's right" in response to nearly everything you say. I used to do that, too. Back on OlbyPlanet, Bachmann is "the elected representative you'd least like to be the lawyer for at a sanity hearing." Her district is "evidently populated by the inattentive." Right-wing religious website! The Republicans' protest is a "gimmick." "..so it can drop the price of gas...10 years from now...maybe?" Speaking ill of Nancy Pelosi is blasphemy to Rev. Olbermahn. "I don't know who you mean, Congresswoman. I mean, I would *guess* that you're talking about Jesus." Perish the thought, right, Olb-atheist? (Yes, that was a stretch, but I went with it.) He continued, "But since *you* act like you think *you're* Jesus, I'm just assuming you're referring to somebody else."
    Worst was Ed Tinsley, running for Congress in New Mexico. It doesn't matter the reason; let's get to the comeback, where Keith responds to a question Tinsley asked his opponent (whom I pessimistically think he'll probably lose to). "I don't know, Mr. Tinsley. Maybe the same way you can talk about how you could conjure up the image of your own kin getting their throats cut just to score points in a political campaign. To its credit, the crowd *boooooed* so vigorously, the rest of Mr. Tinsley's exploitation of his nephews...could not be *heard*. Ed Tinsley, Republican Congressional Nominee in the 2nd District of New Mexico. Today's...Worst...Person..." Okay, we get it.
    I'm just happy O'Reilly Attack #505 didn't happen tonight. However, there was a Rush Limbaugh attack in the #3 segment. I'll bet it was loaded with utterances of "comedian" [ding!]. And of course, there was a pair of McCain attacks in #5.

    #1: Joel McHale, who continued the destruction of his reputation by appearing on "Countdown" and allowing Edward R. Olbermann to appear on "The Soup."

    The Bellowing Carnival Barker is upset. The Russian invasion is just putting too much of a spotlight on John McCain. Fat Ass decides to connect him some dots. Lot's and lot's of dots. Konspiracy Keef manages to blame the entire mess on John McCain and his foreign policy advisor. Is it possible the Senator from Arizona gave the green light to tiny Georgia to make a move against the Mighty Russian Bear? Surely McCain is "bought and paid for" by Tiny Georgia? Lefty Alter has to say "whoa!" Slovenly Hack intones: " The Bush response to the mess is 'Katrinaesque'. Does Keef expect FEMA to be deployed?
    Keith is having a bad week. The Edwards scandal is hard to defend, Olbermann does his best, however, including again mentioning how much more money Rush Limbaugh makes than Olby would ever dream to.
    Also, Olby should memo to Dan Abrams not to do yet another entire hour devoted to John Edwards being a scumbag, immediately after Keef hands the broadcast over to him. That's just plain embarrassing.

    "However, there was a Rush Limbaugh attack in the 3rd segment. I'll bet it was loaded with utterances of "comedian" [ding]."

    Well, if you had bothered to actually watch this particular"attack", you would have found that it was "loaded" with a despicable (even for him)Limbaugh ATTACK on Elizabeth Edwards......One that seemed to blame HER for Edward's affair, because according to Limbaugh, she wouldn't perform felacio.

    Even the hard core conservatives are having some trouble defending that one!

    Good night, everybody!

    I must say that I dislike Limbaugh, but it seems that he was saying that John Edwards likes felacio. And since his wife was sick, Edwards was not man enough to wait until he got better so he had to go out and get some.

    So KO critisizes Limbaugh for being married a few times. This coming from the same guy who just likes to avoid commitment and get some young thang who can use him to move up her career.

    So did Olbermann actually ever cover the Edwards affair story, or has he just covered people covering the story? Come on Olby, "Get some Nuts!"

    Memo to Mike H. if you can't spell the word, don't try to impune anothers character with said misspelled word, Limbaugh never uttered the word 'fellatio'.
