I see the offending comment has been reposted there under a different screen name. What's the over/under on how long it lasts?

I'm kind of cracking up over this...

"And we're still looking for somebody to identify the snippet of classical music used by the Yankees during the otherwise intolerable "Great Subway Race" on their scoreboard in the brand new Empty Stadium."-KO

KO is a "news" man with a "news" show and he doesn't have the resources to identify a song that played during the game? I mean come on, it can't be that hard. He had press credentials.

Bingo! As of 12:18 pm Eastern, the reposted comment has also been deleted. Thou Shalt Not Speak Ill of Herr Olbermahn!

Lafinman the Countdown staff would look up the music but is too busy trying to find a way to blame the CIA for this swine flu outbreak. In college my Short Stories professor told us the CIA invented crack and AIDS to kill African Americans (guess what side of the political fence she's on?) so it's not a stretch as long as you're a pathological liar.

My knowledge of haptics shows me that the young lady in the picture (who I assume is the infamous Katy Turic) is trying damn hard to not be touched by Olbermann (that might be the most fake smile I've ever seen) and Jason Bateman's expression basically says "Get me the f*** out of here." You should get that chick O'Reilly has on occasionally, the body language expert, to analyze this.

I also call into question that he actually sat there. Are there not a lot of luxury seats in the new Yankee Stadium? No way his elitist ego would allow him to rub elbows with the natives of the Bronx.

I would have loved to see Goebells-Olbemann's face when he read circuscratch's response. He tries so hard to hide his insecurities, but it was written for all to see:

"You wore the suit (and the Super Bowl press credential) to boost your fragile self-esteem. If you look important, you feel important."

Unless it struck a deep, core of his psyche, why would he remove it?

He took it down because it was true.

Here's a great headline for tomorrow's Newsday:

KEITH OLBERMANN EXPOSED

BTW, those comments weren't even that, ahem, offensive. Olbermann, are you that insecure about what people think about you? Who gives a crap what a blogger thinks about your suit or... you know what, it's so miniscule I forgot what we were talking about.

Loser.

Johnny Dollar you should make this site a safehouse for comments about Olbermann's blog.

Notice the wristbands that both Olby and his alleged GF are wearing- my guess it those are provided to show that you indeed belong in those seats. There is no reason to wear your ticket around your neck. Olby is such a turd. Secondly, didn't Olbermann take the day off to attend opening day? Given his obsession with Watergate you'd think Olby of all people would know the coverup is worse than the crime. What a douchenozzle.

I see Olby's orange hue turns bright pink when he is out in the real world. Jason Bateman, this is who you hang with? No wonder I've never liked you. Also, is that Jay Leno sitting just behind them? It sure looks like him.

Well I was thinking KO only believes stuff written on Blogs, so why call the Yankees up and ask what music that is. Obviously it makes more sense to wait until someone can post it online because the internet has never failed him before.

The hypocrisy that a guy with "exclusives" on CIA wiretapping can't find out what CD is lying around in Yankee Stadium is astounding.

I believe this is just another "feed my ego" moment from KO. He must think so many people are reading his blog at MLB that someone would have to know the answer.

1) Yes, she looks like she's leaning far from KO

2) Yes, I thought he was missing from his show that night too

3) Yes, I thought immediately that it's Jay Leno sitting behind them.

To help enforce J$'s point, it really doesn't matter what that guy said about Olbermann. KO said he didn't care what people blogged about him and now posts that reflect negatively on him are being removed. Color me shocked. I'm surprised anyone actually wastes time reading his blog.

This is Captain Obvious signing off.

Isn't that cute?....Katy got a lolly from Keithy.

It has been a very revealing couple of months in regards to the fragile ego of the dear leftist, Keith Olbermann.....Let's recap.....

I believe the most recent revelations began way back in March....With his final, whiny response to Chaiman Ann.....

http://www.ivygateblog.com/2009/03/the-great-ivy-league-snob-off-part-ii-keith-olbermann-is-embarrassing-too/

###
The classic Olbermann image of framed diploma in hand, his index finger high-lighting the official Cornell seal of approval of his intellect and abilities is the fitting beginng of the almost eight weeks of public self-encouragement and metaphorical thumb-sucking.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1r02aO8Ngpc

###
Then we go ahead a couple of weeks with an appearance on Jay Leno. Olbermann attempts some poorly conceived self-effacing humor regarding giving bonuses back voluntarily but instead comes off revealing what a selfish individual he has become.....Then he goes on to show how ignorant he is about current events by telling Leno AIG stands for American Insurance Group.....

Oh well, beside the very tight mid-drift, Olbermann contributed little to THE TONIGHT SHOW set.

Then there was the COUNTDOWN house call made by Dr. Dean a week later....Diagnosis: HYPOCRISY!

How could honest fans and detractors not cringe as this telling exchange between doctor and patient?.....

"OLBERMANN: Or if you have a case to call somebody a fascist, lay it out, define your terms and say where you—I mean, you may be crazy and you maybe wrong, but at least put some meat on the bones. And just don‘t throw the word out, right?

"DEAN: Well, look—I mean, even in the darkest days of the Bush/Cheney administration, I don‘t think there was any reason to call George Bush a fascist...."

###
Oh my, the dear delicate and vulnerable Olbermann, bearing his guilty, tormented soul to Dr. Demento who decries the use of the word, "FASCIST!"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkYmS5ylCrk

###
Revealing, is it not? And congratulations to J$ for being nicely cited on Fox's Red Eye....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-USkH8nrGrI

###
A bonus with that last clip....The Frankenstein monster schizophrenia may come to pass in the future. Anyone have a daisy for Keithy?

The Twitter Smear...it was what Olbermann did not say until faced with actual facts that speaks volumes on the insecure yet self-rightous weeble....

"The incompetence that led to Keith Olbermann naming Twitter the 'Worst Person in the World' is staggering. He smeared the popular service, Fox News, and a fellow liberal Democrat enemy of Fox News, all because he got an email he didn't understand, about a technology he didn't understand, and neither he nor his staff did a click of research."

###
Mmmm....how long to the half hearted apology?

And there was Alexa....More specifically, the IT HAPPENED TO ALEXA FOUNDATION....A fine organization with a wonderful mission which had the unfortunate fate of having to deal with Keith Olbermann. And why did a rape survivor aid organization have to deal with Mr. Pear?....Because of his middle school obsession with Bill O'Reilly!.....

What did this entire mess say about Keith Olbermann?....Well what did it NOT say about the man.....

The opening salvo was from Olbermann who picked up the blue blog outrage that Bill O'Reilly had the chutzpah to go to a fundraising dinner, let alone be the keynoter, for a rape victims support charity. When Bill O'Reilly defended himself against the smear, Olbermann uses NBC NEWS broadcast energy to talk directly to his obsession:

"OLBERMANN: Let me see if I‘m correctly summarizing your evidence of what you previously described as a well-financed cabal to smear you about this. One, you called the raped and murdered Jennifer Moore moronic and you described how her drunkenness and scanty attire led to her horrible death. Two, you said the raped and molested teenager Sean Hornbeck enjoyed parts of his captivity more than he had life with his family.

"Three, in a bitter irony, you wound up headlining a fund raiser for rape victims, a fact promoted by the support group. Four, the irony was noted on several websites. Five, we raised it here. Six, Amanda Terkel wrote about it at ThinkProgress.org. Seven, you sent an employee to follow her and stalk her in a car for two hours. Therefore, eight, this is a conspiracy against you.

"Bill, a rhetorical question, in private, has any doctor ever used the world megalomania to you?"

###
Projection, text book definition....Because no more than 2 minutes later at the end of this March 30 COUNTDOWN masterpiece, the deranged newsman says....

"OLBERMANN: Twice in my life time I have encountered Bill O‘Reilly in person. Once at a charity dinner and once on a baseball field. On both occasions, as I arrived, he backed up to a position about 20, 25 feet away from me. If I moved slightly toward him, say 18 inches closer, he backed up 18 inches.

"He stopped staring at me only when I looked at him. He is a big woos [sp].

"Finally, he is a big liar. On the zero to 100 scale on Bill-O‘s phony boasts this might be the 100. Ms Guthrie, 'obviously you and Keith Olbermann have ideological differences. Don‘t you think this feud is good for both of you.'

"Bill-O, 'there is no feud. I have never mentioned the man‘s name in my life and will never mention it.'

"Oh, so what is this then from your show on February 15th, 2007?"

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

"BILL O‘REILLY, FOX NEWS ANCHOR: Not only were there no apologizes given and no pink slips issued for William Arkin‘s outburst, but Keith Olbermann went out of his way to defend this valid criticism of our military."

(END VIDEO CLIP)

"OLBERMANN: There was the other time you mentioned my name on your shown in 1998, when you also mispronounced it. I wouldn‘t want to play that tape, too, because then I would just be embarrassing you. You are doing such a thorough job doing that yourself."

###
And so Olbermann ends another quality show with his signature scoff at America's achievement in Iraq and a very misused tagline from a REAL journalist.

It did not end there with Alexa.....It was then, "LOOKIE HOW MUCH I PERSONALLY DONATED." I cannot even think of pathology so pathetic and disturbing.

There was the famous bar graph comparing his donation to O'Reilly's and Grace's recent pledges.

Olbermann had a brief moment of lucidity (on all days, April Fools) during his conversation with Ed....I suppose he seems like a jolly, trustworthy fella that likely brought Olbermann to an epiphany.....

"OLBERMANN: You have the conundrum all of us have. As this thing gets more and more successful, the show has got to look like a relative of all the other shows right before it, right after, but not too much. I mean, Chris is the political inside baseball guy. Rachel is the affable, charming policy wonk. I‘m the A-hole. What are you going to be?"

###
Nothing to add after that summation......

Then we have the teabagging phenom that enveloped all of MSNBC, most bile-rising in the pharynx from the "affable" Rachel Maddow, with Olbermann right there like the 11 year-old boy giggling in his bedroom. But Olbermann could not leave it at the classy sexual innuendo....his pathology had to take it to the upper levels of hatred for one's political opponents....

THE "YES DEAR" interview with Ms. "it racism straight up" Garofalo.....

His interactions with women was on good display with that exchange. As the vile hatred rose from a know psychotic coming down from her AM dosed bipolar meds, Olbermann continued to utter "mmm, mmm" and calm nods of agreement. Garofalo could have said that republicans were alien beings sent from Pluto and Olbermann would have agreed....Oh well....personality defects are harder to hide when confronting true looniness.

And the defense of hatred continues as Olbermann worries O'Reilly is ignoring him in their "feud." O'Reilly seems to be pursuing a real story while Olbermann sniffs dismissal because it's really all about him.

Fast forward to today with laniards and blog comment strikes that are not explained or defended....we see the continuing unmasking of a truly insecure narcissist. TV is made for the self-absorbed, the proud, the cocky....But when the scared little bath tub boy behind the bombast keeps popping his head out, ridicule results.

Long live the mediocre newsman with the thesaurus, figure slimming mirror, baseball card collection, and enemies list (#1, 2 and 3 on the list BILL O'REILLY)....NBC NEWS is serving a new purpose...not to inform, but to entertain!

"FASCIST!"

Long live the mediocre newsman...cee

Excellent review Cee, but I have to challenge your description of him as being "mediocre." That would assume that he is at least as good or as bad as 50% of his fellow journalists, and I can't think of one that he is better than, nor any that he is equal to. Even Maddow on her worst night, along with Ed and Matthews on their worst night, have ever been as lying and incompetent as he is every night.

I know, I know, it sounds like I'm nitpicking after you gave such a great expose on the ape ruler, but to be sure when it comes to one who is so consumed with his self image we must make sure not to give him even the slightest bit of ammo to feed that enormous and misguided ego he carries with him. Because, as you know, being "mediocre" to him would then somehow snowball into him being the BEST journalist the media has ever seen or heard. Remember the "Focker" family creed: "If you come in last in a 10 team race, that means you placed just as the guy who came in first."

This humble poster only points this out to you, not to critique, but to inform.

Your point is well taken, Wolverine. I suppose I should be specific in saying that when it comes to the mechanics of reading off a teleprompter, looking at the right camera (I guess the one with the red light illuminating on top), etc, Olbermann is average (mediocre) compared to the population of news anchors like my local guy with the hair plugs at one end of the spectrum to someone like Jim Lehrer.

Olbermann deserves no sympathy or complement, however, Ed Schultz is pretty bad...I don't think he's going to make it through the summer.

Cee, your post was the first time I had seen what Keith said in the instances you quoted. In the days following the IHTAF reportage, the Terkel ambush (where Jesse Watters was polite and didn't raise his voice, unlike Oralmann's account), and Wendy Murphy's admittal that Alexa Branchini was so hurt by all the nasty comments she and the foundation were getting that she had to quit her job, I swore off Keith. I still came here, but had no idea what was going on outside of recaps from you guys, video on this site, and reports from NewsBusters.
Bill only referred to Keith on that day in 2007 because he was reading a quote from an op-ed by Col. Ken Allard, an NBC News Military Analyst at the time, where the Allard announced that he had left NBC. So, in reality, Bill was not calling you out, Olbermoronn; Col. Ken Allard was. In other words, Another Olbermann Lie.

Is it a Super Bowl press credential or not? Is there a bigger pic around?

It's the plastic case w/ a superbowl logo on it. Inside the case is his Yankees ticket. It's not a credential but it's still shows Olby is a douche for wearing his ticket. Too bad somebody can't put a "kick me" sign on him.

Couple things.

Maybe he had a suit waiting for him back at the studio. For that is odd. And while I don't remember the exact time of the game, seeing as he kept the same shirt and tie, it really is the only plausible explanation. I mean, where else would he have changed? Makes no sense....

Here's Olbermann on the Countdown show in question (it was Special Comment day!)

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3036677/#30254996

And great job on finding that comment. That's hilarious! And while he has done an admittedly noble job of not having any political or "Fixed Noise" references (or at least none that I can recall off hand, if you've found one, I will gladly admit my error), that's just bad.

Way back when, friends of mine and I would go to Houston to catch the Cubs play the Astros. I smoked and it was easier for me to step outside the stadium rather than walk to one of the designated smoking areas.

I had to scan my ticket to walk out, have a cigarette, then have my ticket scanned to get back in. I probably did this once or twice during a game. Probably more often than KO ever had his ticket looked at.

He looks like a child having to wear his ticket around his neck.

Only a New Yorker wears a suit to a baseball game.

He wears a suit to a baseball game
He wears a laniard the shouts "I'm lame!"
He's Miller Beer wrong
Keith does belong
In the Douchenozzle Hall of Fame

I think Katy made him wear the laniard so if he got lost, some nice policeman would return him to his seat....no muss, no fuss.
