Olbermann Takes on Cheney 'Assassination Squads': Special Comment Coming?

Last week the infamous, deplorable Keith Olbermann went to town on his latest wet dream: Dick Cheney's "assasination squads". Olby got this notion from a talk given by Sy Hersh, and because that kind of thing is always too good to check on OlbyPlanet, Keith ignored the fact that Hersh, who claims documentation and evidence for his written word, is willing to embellish the truth and fantasize when giving a talk. As New York Magazine put it: "Sy Hersh Says It's Okay to Lie (Just Not in Print)".

Yes, this was Olby's Big Source for his grand expose on the evil Cheney. And if what he hear is correct, Oralmann isn't done yet. Apparently there may be a Special Education Komment in the works, and Caleb Howe has somehow got his hands on a copy of Monkeymann's script:

Mr. Dick Cheney, I direct tonight, sir, this missive unto you. So monumental is your, sir, guilt, that indeed I was not able to confine my commentary to a Countdown, nor even, sir, the very Special Comment portion of my show for which such acts as yours I first, indeed, the segment designed, sir! So forthwith I bring you tonight's "SPECIAL COUNTDOWN!" [Turn 180, camera 4. Look Angry!]

There's more, much more, so read the entire article.

Haha, that was hilarous. I mean the name alone...Sy Hersh, just sounds like something out of a cheesy movie. Or a cousin to the hair club for men guy. :)

I'm sure he'll probably have a special comment either Tues or Wed, It probably won't be tonight cause he'll have Garafalo on spewing more of her venom, geez she got hideous right guys?

"Number Ten on tonight’s Special Countdown, the Cheney crime syndicate is responsible for the following assassinations: Helen Thomas (whom they have despicably left at the White House as a message to other reporters to stay in line)"

hahaha!

Sy Hersh is a regular on this guy's show.

Bill Mazer 3-6 pm EST

http://www.wvox.com/

That Olby would listen to this guy's show makes sense, For those of you that didn't grow up in the NYC area, Mazer was 'THE' sportsguy on the evening newscasts in the 70's & 80's.

Then something happened. Bill left TV and went to a leftist radio station WEVD, he didn't do sports ever again. But he became not just a left wing guy. I mean he went to the 'hinterland' of the left.

After WEVD got brought out by ESPN radio and formats were switched, Bill left to go to WVOX.

Sy Hersh is a regular on Bill's show. I have always said Bill Mazer's career is Olby's future. The difference? As much of a wackjob Mazer has turned into, I feel sorry for Bill.

Olby? LOL!

Sy Hersh, too damm funny! There's the bottom of the barrel, then there's under the barrel. Thats Sy Hersh.

NEW YORK (WABC) -- Don Imus announced on his radio show Monday morning that he has stage II prostate cancer.
The 68-year-old Imus made the surprise announcement on his radio show at around 7:30 a.m.

Gee, I wonder will we get the 'tear-jerk' Olby?

I know we won't get any mention of Ron Silver.

I'm sure he'll mention Silver cause he was in the West Wing which HuffPo editor Lawerence O'Donnell helped create. Shouldn't O'Donnell be home getting his freak on with his hot wife, Kathryn Harrold?
