It's pretty bad when Keith and his "expert" (i.e. Democrat) guest are both totally clueless

Johnny, I'm sure that you will remember this. I just can't remember the details other than it was KO and The Head Huffer, Arriana.

KO played a clip while he and Huffer misquoted it. Then they tore the reporter? up for saying something he didn't even say.

Classic KO!

I believe that was Mitt Romney. They played a clip and then ripped him for something he didn't say (and obviously wasn't in the clip they just played). Cluelessness squared.

Well we know how KO apology's go these days. It'd be something like this "The Huffington Post failed to tell us this, so we'll apologize for them."

I wanted to click on the video, but as with Mike, I can't stand KO's voice anymore. Plus I didn't want risk running into 100 word questions.

Actually, Grammie, that was Rudy Guiliani. Last summer Guiliani made a comment about how Obama would open the White House to talk with people like Assad, the Syrian dictator. Both Olby and Huffington misheard the comment. Together they berated Guiliani for saying that Obama would open the White House for people like "Osama," as in bin Laden. As I recall, they even played the tape, where Guiliani clearly says “Assad,” not Osama. Neither Olby nor Huffington picked up on this.

A few days later Olby had to admit his mistake and apologize on the air. Then, like a petulant schoolboy, he immediately gave Guiliani all three worst person in the world awards. A rare triple worst.

Thanks, Bill, that was it.

I seem to remember a wire service or pool reporter misquoted Guiliani and it was corrected in just a few hours.

Didn't KO do this a day or more after the correction and when he apologized, a la KO, he was in full CYA mode by blaming the original source for his error?

Lafinman and anyone else who didn't see Absentee's link over at Johnnys Place give this one a try.

It is the second video down and is absolutely priceless.

Olby used to do the Giulianni voice including a severe lisp. His Steve Doocy imitation was also a lisper. This from the guy who attacks his perceived enemies children, and who blows a gasket if O'Reilly calls Helen Thomas out for her cackle. Poor putz.

I believe you're right Grammie, but the specifics escape me. That certainly sounds like the Olby we all know!

That video is a fascinating insight into the mind of the liberal, for whom a career in government is the highest ideal.

To them, political office is a game of run until you lose, or die. The concept that one would voluntarily choose not to run again is so foreign to them, they lack the comprehension to even consider it.

Of course, the founding fathers never dreamed an American ego could exist that would dream of staying in office more than a few terms.

Then again, the Democrat party didn't exist back then.

What I wonder is when did he find out they made a mistake? Or did anybody even tell them? During a commercial break? Or after the show?

From the way we've seen Olbermann's handlers scrub negative comments from his blogs, I have to wonder if he even knows yet that Senator Bond announced his retirement. But, it's funny that Jimmy Legs has been on the NY Post for their non-apology apology and it's time for yet another in the continuing series Keith "We are dreadfully sorry" Olbermann.
