#2: The Media Matters Minute.
Worse was Mark Halperin of The Page on Time.com. http://thepage.time.com
Blue blog source: TVNewser, but I could be wrong. http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/politics/halperin_on_clear_unambiguous_double_standard_97984.asp
I couldn't find a source that brought up the Midwest Democracy Network questionaire *and* what Halperin said yesterday. Either way, how dare Mark dispute Lord Obama. Obamamann went on to provide PR for his savior. Cherry-picking!
Worser was Brian Kilmeade, John Dowd, and Rudy Giuliani. Blue blog sources: Medium Rare Story and Think Propaganda.

Fixed News! Fixed News! [Ding!] [Ding!] Olbermahn used the supposed Sylvester the cat voice for Giuliani. "Way to execute the Talking Points [Ding!], boys, but hello! You guys own enough reporters. (raising gotcha paper): Hop to it!"
Worst was "Roger Ailes of Fox Noise [Ding!]." Blue blog source: TVNewser. http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/awards_accolades/ailes_lauer_60_minutes_set_for_hall_of_fame_98021.asp
Ailes "is going to into the Broadcasting & Cable Hall of Fame...presumably near the bust of the guy who made the commercials louder than the actual shows." After a rapid reading of the quote Stevie K. provided, Oralmann snarked back: "Ailes, of course, never *hired* anybody like that at Fox...never practiced it himself...but he has *enormous respect for people who do!* Roger 'Do as I respect, not as I do' Ailes! Today's Worst..." Yada yada blah.

# 3 Story, sock puppet Eugene Robinson tells Olbermann how poorly Sarah Palin did on SNL. Funny, seems she did pretty well for someone who received the script days before her appearance and did not write the script. If her appearance didn't go well, isn't that the fault of the writers on SNL? How exactly did the go poorly when SNL had the highest ratings SNL has had since they actually had a cast that anyone cared about.

No surprise that Olbermann attacks Fox News for bringing up Obama coke problem but mentions nothing about the NY Slimes writing a hit piece on Cindy McCain's addiction to pain killers. Remember Olbermann thinks we should not attack the candidates’ wives, or at least no Barak Obama's wife.

#5: The McCain Campaign is "rethinking" bringing up Reverend Wright. Ach, no! Wright Card! Secrets and Lies! Upper-right graphic: "Fear and Distraction," image of McCain looking to his right with squinted eyes, Palin looking up and to the right (aloof, perhaps, eh, Keith?). Merkle says the campaign is trying to paint Obama and his supporters "as different and dangerous." Lower-third graphic: "15 Days And Counting." Oralmann quoted Rick Davis without playing a clip of today's conference call. On OlbyPlanet, audio and video ruins the lie. So, they never see the light of 8PM. Once he was finished with the Davis quote, time to snark. Clip of McCain on "Fox News Sunday." Watergate! [Ding!] Rick Davis also appeared on "a conservative talk radio program," but Monkeymann wouldn't say which one. Bringing up John Lewis is bad. Joe the Plumber attack. Clip of McCain with small business owners in Missouri...a relatively long clip by Hour of Spin standards. Obama was at a rally in Tampa, Florida, with members of the Tampa Bay Rays. That means they're on his side! Yay! Clip of Hillary with Obama in Orlando. Now, she's good again on OlbyPlanet. Finally, four minutes in, it was time for the Wolffe Man to appear. New lower-third: "Secrets & Lies." Wolffie: "There's nothing serious about small donations unless you think the internet is a secret connection of tubes." Ooh, a Ted Stevens attack. Moving ahead in the clip now. Keith and his buddy laugh about "spread the wealth." Yes, isn't that absurd, Bathman? Great Thanks.

Next, the "pervasive," "precise," and "startling" Colin Powell endorsement of Obama. There was much jubilance on OlbyPlanet. Lower-third: "Powell Broker." Clip of Powell announcing the endorsement on "Meet the Press." Keith snidely proclaims McCain is "obviously disappointed" by the endorsement. New lower-third: "Powellfull." Clarence Page dropped in to Olby's playpen for a 4 1/2 minute agreementfest. The last time viewers of "The Factor" saw Page, he was claiming Fox News is far-right [Ding!]. Clarence thinks the endorsement will "have an impact on those undecided voters." Peggy Noonan! Christopher Buckley! At the end, Keith giggled, "By the way, you had me going when you said, uh, 'son of...' I didn't know where you were going after that, but um, thank goodness..." And I couldn't hear the last part because Clarence guffawed loudly. "Family show, Chris...Keith." Oopsie. "Great Thanks for your time, Clarence."

#4: Fat Ass: "What kind of phone call could surpass the awesomeness that is Countdown?" Uh, a call from my friend saying that you had been fired? That'd be great. But that wasn't it. "Would you believe you may get a phone call from Sarah Palin?" Damn, I was hoping it'd be the fired call. Oh, well, OlbyWatch can dream. Upper-right graphic: "Can You Fear Me Now?", image of McCain with an obsolete cell phone superimposed in his hand. Robocalls! [Ding!] Lower-third: "Call Wading." Quote! [Ding!] Fox Noise! [Ding!] G. Gordon Liddy is "McCain's washed-up terrorist." Palin "Real Americans from Real America" reference. Palin clip on the robocalls [Ding!]. OlbyChoir music from...I mean clip of Obama talking about "misleading TV ads." Amen-ish crowd response. Slovenly: "What the hell is *this* new robocall [Ding!]?" It was a Pailn robocall [Ding!]. Blue blog source: Talking Points Mummo (intentional misspelling based on previous OlbyFlub). http://tpmelectioncentral.talkingpointsmemo.com/2008/10/new_mccain_robocall_stars_sara.php

#1: Another ratings ploy of a Special Education Komment, which Oralmann pimped out on his blog two hours earlier. http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/10/20/181911/95/919/636742
Thanks, but no thanks. Supposed indignation and faux outrage were on display for seven long minutes and 41 longer seconds. Psst, Olby, John McCain and Sarah Palin don't listen to you. You can stop now. Thanks a lot, bro.

The worst part of this SEK is that it will be a nightly thing from now until November 3. God help us and Bill O'Reilly.

Colin Powell's "America" includes lying to its people about Iraq's WMD capability. Colin Powell used satellite photos to "prove" Iraq had WMDs. Colin Powell KNOWINGLY lied to Americans to rationalize an unjustifiable war. And now Colin Powell is endorsing a man with absolutely no military experience as the Commander In Chief? Because John McCain hurt his feelings?

WAKE UP AMERICA!

BTW, Olbermoronn is still lying about "violent comments" made at Sarah Palin's rally (2 weeks ago?) as noted in his Speshul Spitfest.
