This is the recappers' comment thread for Countdown, September 24 2008.
Welcome to You Write the Recap 2.0. This is a special thread for you to post your comments on tonight's Hour of Spin. Note everything salient: smears, distortions, bias, lies, 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 form the nucleus of our official OlbyWatch Recap. That will be posted separately, later tonight, for maximum visibility and impact. We need your help documenting the shameless "journalism" of Keith "Man on Fan" Olbermann.
What to watch for tonight: Oh the usual...selective poll results, the same gang of OlbyParrots, and of course Oralmann going all Mt St Helen's over McCain's latest twist. Since that is all so predictable, maybe it would be more fun to watch for something else. How about Krazy Keith with Ashleigh Banfield's glasses? They're on to read the script from the teleprompter, they're off to read his scripted questions from the papers on his desk. How many times will the glasses appear and disappear tonight? What's the over/under?
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.
Finally Olbermann aka Squealer is the recipient of a blue dress interview from Dave Letterman instead of giving a blue dress interview. Dust off those knee pads Dave. Olbermann requires a responsive sock puppet. Play your cards right Dave, and you might get "great thanks".
In the dogs that won't bark. The brilliant foreign policy expert, Joe Biden thinks that Franklin Roosevelt was President in 1929 and that the television existed. If Sarah Palin had said something so incredibly stupid, it would require a spechul komment, but since the stupidity was spouted by a Democrat, the story becomes a dog that just won't bark.
This is good news. I consistently believe Biden's mouth could smother his peanut brain. Obama has to let him run loose but it is a dangerous game for him.
The Media Matters Minute was the usual stuff.
Worse was two pilots in Hawaii, represented by sad faces over two anonymous men in pilot gear.
Worser was Marc Salter. A McCain attack followed. Ties to lobbyists! False outrage! Salter said something about spears, so Rev. Olbermoronn played the race card, noting that it was close to a racial epithet.
Worst was Rush Limbaugh. Comedian! [Ding!] "What a slump he's in." Keith "Don't call me Fred Travalena" Olbermann trotted out his poor Rush impression while quoting a blue blog of some kind saying that Obama is not really African-American...or something. Since it came from a blue blog, I don't buy it. With incredulous patronization, Fat Ass entoned: "Comedian [Ding!] Rush Limbaugh, now reduced to using leftover stuff from Monica Crowley...when she was guest-hosting Laura Ingraham's show?" Did the blue blog say that, too, Rip 'n Read? "Rush, I mean, is something wrong?" Krazy Keith's voice drops in level, but rises in pitch: "We need you over here. You're one of the best weapons progressives have ever had." Aha! Finally, Unbiased Olbermann admits he's a progressive! "We need you to be at your best down the stretch. I mean, seriously! Get a check-up!" As his voice calibrates, he dusts off an old sports anchor catchphrase: "Or get a roll of stamps and mail it in!" He finished with: "Comedian [ding!] Rush Limbaugh, now cribbing from Monica Crowley's outtakes!" And then came the usual closing crescendo.
Note to Johnny: For the recap, replace where I said "Unbiased Olbermann" with: Keith "I'm not politically biased" Olbermann.
Never mind. There won't be a recap tonight either. Everyone shows up when he's off, but when he's on, nothing.
