Keith calls the tea partiers 'T.P. ers'. Has Keith been given orders to knock off the tea bag stuff?
and of course...KO gets in that jab at Reagan. "Reagan is dead and he was a lousy President." Well idiot boy, if it wasn't for that "lousy" President YOU SIR wouldn't be making the enormous salary you have right now, instead you'd probably doing sports at some local radio or TV station and married to some huge ass girl instead of the money bags...err girl, you have now.
It would appear there were no O'Reilly Attacks tonight. In the Media Matters Minute, Worse was President Obama. What?! It was for a gaffe he made yesterday referring to the day as "Cinco de Cuatro" since it was May 4, the day before May 5, Cinco de Mayo. Of course, cinco de cuatro means "five of four." *Cuatro de Mayo* would be May 4. Komedy Keith referred to it as "the fifth of the fourth"...plus some other joke involving "si se puede."
Worser was Another Bachmann Attack. Blue blog source: HuffPo. As Beavis would say, heh-heh, she said "orgy"...heh-heh, "wad"...heh-heh. And the marginalization of a strong conservative voice rolls on.
For Worst, let's go back to last night's thread where I said this:
"Via the Olbermann Flood, Keith Oralmann's blog of record has supplied source material for tomorrow night's WPitW...besides the eeevil O'Reilly, of course."
In the comment below that, I said this:
"Irush, I have to give you credit. You were the first one to point out, on Friday night, what the Kos Kids pointed out. The difference is you had what I assume to be noble intent, they had malicious intent, and so will Rip 'n Read tomorrow night."
This afternoon, Irush replied:
"I just saw the link to kos re: Ingraham remarks. What have I done?! Kos is now ripping stories from anti-Olby blogs and re-spinning them into blue blog attacks! Oh my!
I'm exaggerating of course, but I knew as soon as Laura said it exactly how the leftists would respond. What amazes me about Olby-Libs is how predictable they are in just wanting to destroy people who to not believe in Lib ideas. If Olby really cared about racism (remember rev al segments over shooting a monkey cartoon) then he would have denounced Garafalo on the spot as a racist-hateful fear mongering scumbag. He'd have had rev al on to say those type of comments deminish real instances of racism. Yet, instead we got more Olbygasim grunts of pleasure over her comments."
What we're talking about is Laura Ingraham's heated debate with feminist blogger and all-around filibusterer Gloria Feldt on Friday night on "The O'Reilly Factor." (Laura was filling in for Bill.)
The point I'm getting to is once again, I was right! Keith "Rip 'n Read" DimBulbermann used his Kos Kompadres' material and made Ms. Laura the Worst Person in the World. Not only, he must have thought, did Laura show herself as a hypocrite, but she was referring to me and my pal Michael Musto. Attack! Attack!
"Fixed News [Ding!] once again making 'Countdown' its lead story." Another Olbermann Lie...in part. If you look at the rundown I linked to, Musto did make the lead segment, in the Talking Points Memo. "... Gay writer Michael Musto mocked Carrie Prejean as 'the only virgin in the world with breast implants ... a babe who needs a brain implant.' Imagine how the left would have reacted if a conservative commentator had said something similar about a Miss USA contestant who supported gay marriage! Or imagine if something as offensive was said about Michelle Obama. The left rails against hate speech, but only certain kinds of hate speech."
After that, Top Story: Souter. Factor Follow Up: Emergency meetings at the CIA. Impact Segment: a GOP ad. Unresolved Problems: "Chrysler files for bankruptcy--could GM be next?" Then, finally, the Culture War segment with that fiery debate between Laura and Gloria Feldt. But an OlbyLie is an OlbyLie, whether in part or in whole.
And back on OlbyPlanet, Frank Caliendomann did a rapid mock impression of Laura as he parsed what she told Feldt. Then, "a hem! This is Laura Ingraham talking, insisting on a no-nothing beauty pageant..." Yada yada yada. Recap over.
Hey guess what no J.Edwards stroy tonight? Hmmm..A former US Senator, V.P canidate, and Pres Canidate being investigated by a grand jury his sick wife goes on Oprah ..and somehow J.Edwards dosen't make WPITW? Hmmm
I think Keith is a lot like Saddam, you know if anyone gave Saddam bad news they most likey be killed..well I think the interns over at MSNBC give Keith a fake ratings sheet..just so he can feel good.
Being an intern for Countdown is probably worse than that job at the golf course where you drive around picking up balls while the patrons takes practice swings at you.
If you want to get treated like s*** there are easier ways to do it.
The following comment was written while my last comment was the most recent comment posted.
Correction: He did a mock impression of Laura during the introduction of the segment, which he sliced and diced. Here's what she said (asterisks indicate what Keith read): "Thanks for staying with us. I'm Laura Ingraham in for Bill O'Reilly. And in the Culture War segment tonight, by now, everybody in the world knows the story of Miss California. Carrie Prejean lost her crown, probably because she voiced her opposition to gay marriage. But now, *to add insult to injury, she's becoming a target of some of the most reprehensible far-left attacks you've ever seen*, as we told you in the memo. Joining us now from New York is Gloria Feldt, a feminist who runs the website GloriaFeldt.com. Uh, and Gloria, I said this today on my radio show. I said...this woman, Carrie Prejean, was savaged last night on MSNBC by Michael Musto, who's a gay writer, apparently, for The Village Voice, and the MSNBC host...*savaged in the most personal, vicious way about her physique* and sexual organs, references were made to that. *And I'm thinking to myself, where are the feminists? Are feminists not gonna stand up and say 'Wait a second, you don't go there with a young woman.* This is way out of bounds of even minimal standards of decency.'" Then, Feldt replied and off we went. But with all that parsing, you'd think Laura was talking to herself. Gee, I wonder if that was his plan. You think?
Yeah, Keith, "but they don't take plus-size models" is the same as all the garbage you and Musto peddled: "Fake boob," "adam's apple," etc. It's exactly the same. No difference. Uh-huh, and I'm Perez Hilton, okay? This unquestionably ranks high on the Lame-O-Meter.
By the way, I watched the rest and not only did Meghan McCain come up, "Shut Up and Sing" came up, too. Olbypocrite ended his orgy wad by calling Laura a "hip-o-crite and (mocking Laura): 'at the end of the day,' (normal): today's Worst..." and so on.
Olby's meds are psychoactive
His girlfriend's not too attractive
She calls him "Bear"
Keith's shaped like pear
And his penis is retractive
To go back to my acknowledgment of Keith naming President Obama Worse for the "five of four" gaffe, I was merely pointing out what "cinco de cuatro" translates to in English. "The fifth of the fourth" would be "el cinco del cuatro."
Wait, according to Yahoo Babel Fish, I was wrong, too. "The fifth of the fourth" is "el quinto del cuarto" (not a typo), "los cinco de cuatro" is "the five of four." Oops, I guess I ended up nitpicking Keith.
Here's a segment from tonight's "O'Reilly Factor" that will make you feel better. Carrie Prejean's pastor, Miles McPherson, was on. Also, Bill urged an end to the attacks on her.
Awwwww...poor Prof. TurDley and Keith find it "bizarre" that no one in the Bush administration has been charged with a war crime. They constantly bemoan for months now, but nothing's changed.
I watched that segment, Mike C....it was a nice exchange. Contrast what the pastor and O'Reilly said to what Olbermann complained about in his WPitW segment and one once again sees the difference between decent people agreeing to disagree about personal moral stands and those, like Olbermann, who are vindictive, petty and simply waiting for the next opportunity to tear down someone for the increasing of their own self.
The common thread of Olbermann's selfish intentions....from the IT HAPPENED TO ALEXA FOUNDATION fiasco, through the Garofalo rant through this issue with Miss California and we clearly note his infantile behavior.
The last segment of the night on COUNTDOWN also revealed Olbermann's agenda. The isolation of a particular world view by the sanctimonious left is very disturbing and smacks of arrogance and hatred.
Olbermann is trying hard to appeal to that demographic of "younger, progressive, affluent, well educated." In a person....President Obama.

Great journalistic ethics!
It took a few days, but Olbermann and Musto have made it to NewsBusters.
The soon-to-be-replacement (I know it's coming, I can sense it) Miss California USA, Tami Farrell, was on "Fox & Friends" this morning. She spoke like a true stick-to-the-talking-points-and-what-the-pageant-wants representative. I couldn't finish watching. Tami Farrell = victory for militant activists, the far-left, Keith Olbermann, Michael Musto, Wayne Besen (who actually appears on "The O'Reilly Factor" from time to time), Perez Hilton, Markos Moulitsas, Jed what's-his-name, etc. And it hurts.
To be clear, I only have a problem with the people I listed above with the exception of Wayne Besen. As long as he is a recurring guest on "The O'Reilly Factor," I respect him despite disagreeing.
My question about Olbermann covering the Administration's decision to make classified the pictures of the photo-op flyover was answered last night as a, "NO WAY." Now will Olbermann cover Obama's flippity-floppity?
I doubt it....As usual, things that hurt America's image is encouraged on COUNTDOWN....while things that hurt Obama's image are excused, fought against or simply ignored.
Less than 24 hours since I posted above, we get this headline:
Interrogation Memos: Inquiry Suggests No Charges
The New York Times
May 6, 2009
by DAVID JOHNSTON and SCOTT SHANE
WASHINGTON — An internal Justice Department inquiry has concluded that Bush administration lawyers committed serious lapses of judgment in writing secret memorandums authorizing brutal interrogations but that they should not be prosecuted, according to government officials briefed on its findings.
Awww....poor Prof. TurDley & KO still don't get their wetdream wish.
When Olbermann put his challenge out to Hannity over his promise to be waterboarded, Olbermann made the point that the right is not taking torture seriously......
As usual, chairman Ann makes an excellent point that in the left's claim of taking today's "torture" seriously, they are actually minimizing the real torture that was inflicted on our patriots in years past. Some excellect excerpts from her column this week totally demoloishes Keith Olbermann's nigthly thumb sucking:
WATCHING MSNBC IS TORTURE
"In terms of 'torture,' there was 'the attention grasp,' which you have seen in every department store you have ever been where a mother was trying to get her misbehaving child's attention. If 'the attention grasp' doesn't work, the interrogators issue a stern warning: 'Don't make me pull this car over.'
"Farther up the parade of horribles was 'walling,' which I will not describe except to say Elliot Spitzer paid extra for it.
"Contrary to MSNBC hosts who are afraid of bugs, water and their own shadows, waterboarding was most definitely not a 'war crime' for which the Japanese were prosecuted after World War II -- no matter how many times Mrs. Jonathan Turley, professor of cooking at George Washington University, says so.
"All MSNBC hosts and guests were apparently reading 'Little Women' rather than military books as children and therefore can be easily fooled about Japanese war crimes. (MSNBC: The Official Drama Queen Network of the 2012 Olympics.)
"Given what the Japanese did to prisoners, waterboarding would be a reward for good behavior.
"It might be: waterboarding PLUS amputating the prisoner's healthy arm, or waterboarding PLUS killing the prisoner. But waterboarding on the order of what we did at Guantanamo would be a reward in a Japanese POW camp.
"To claim that the Japanese -- architects of the Bataan Death March -- were prosecuted for 'waterboarding' would be like saying Ted Bundy was executed for engaging in sexual harassment.
"What the Japanese did to their POWs made even the Nazis blanch. The Japanese routinely beheaded and bayoneted prisoners; forced prisoners to dig their own graves and then buried them alive; amputated prisoners' healthy arms and legs, one by one, for sport; force-fed prisoners dry rice and then filled their stomachs with water until their bowels exploded; and injected them with chemical weapons in order to observe, time and record their death throes before dumping them in mass graves.
"While only 4 percent of British and American troops captured by German or Italian forces died in captivity, 27 percent of British and American POWs captured by the Japanese died in captivity. Japanese war crimes were so atrocious that even rape was treated as only a secondary war crime in the Tokyo trial, similar to what happens during an R. Kelly trial.
"The Japanese 'water cure' was to 'waterboarding' as practiced at Guantanamo what rape at knifepoint is to calling your secretary 'honey.'
"The Japanese version of 'waterboarding' was to fill the prisoner's stomach with water until his stomach was distended -- and then pound on his stomach, causing the prisoner to vomit.
"Or they would jam a stick into the prisoner's nose so he could breathe only through his mouth and then pour water in his mouth so he would choke to death.
"Or they would 'waterboard' the prisoner with saltwater, which would kill him.
"Meanwhile, the alleged 'torture' under the Bush administration consists of things like:
"-- 'failing to respect a Serbian national holiday'; or
"-- 'forgetting to wear plastic gloves while handling a Quran.'
"One of the earliest entries in the 'waterboarding as war crimes' myth must be this October 2006 article in The Washington Post, citing a case raised by Sen. Teddy Kennedy -- and heaven knows Kennedy understands the horrors of a near-drowning:
"'Twenty-one years earlier, in 1947, the United States charged a Japanese officer, Yukio Asano, with war crimes for carrying out another form of waterboarding on a U.S. civilian. The subject was strapped on a stretcher that was tilted so that his feet were in the air and head near the floor, and small amounts of water were poured over his face, leaving him gasping for air until he agreed to talk.'
"Even if that description of what Asano did were true -- and it isn't -- the only relevant word in the entire paragraph is 'civilian.'
"Any mistreatment of a civilian is a war crime. So every other part of that paragraph is utterly irrelevant to the treatment of prisoners of war, much less non-uniformed enemy combatants at Guantanamo, who could have been shot on sight under the laws of war.
"What Americans need to understand is that under liberals' own 'laws of war,' they will invent apocryphal incidents from history in order to give aid and comfort to America's enemies and to undermine those who kept us safe for the past eight years."

Amen sister, and this alternative opinion is lacking on COUNTDOWN with the facts and history to support it. The only thing Keith Olbermann provides this debate is the inaccurate conclusions of his guests and his own blathering demogoguery.
It seems conservatives do take this issue seriously....They feel it is wrong to make what was done to two terrorists morally equivalent to what was done by the Japanese to thousands of our brave fighting patriots. It seems conservatives take this ENTIRE issue of protecting our innocent countrymen from terrorists, including how to get important information that will prevent death and injury, while the left seize on another opportunity to increase their own power and self rightous moral superiority!
Ah, the "good" Reverand Keith Olbermann of the church of SNOBamessiah....keep on preaching....the choir loves it, but the rest of us, the majority, just shake their heads in derision!
VERO POSSUMUS!
Oh no...I can see one of Olbermann's stooges calling Michael Musto right now for a follow-up interview on COUNTDOWN after seeing this on the internet.....
Carrie Prejean -- The Origin of Homophobia
"So how does a beauty queen turn into the poster child against gay marriage? In the case of Miss California Carrie Prejean, the answer may lie in an ugly divorce that may have cemented her views on gay relationships.
"Carrie's parents filed for divorce in 1988 and the divorce and custody fights went on for more than a decade -- it was a divorce filled with homosexual allegations hurled by both sides.
"In one of the docs, Carrie's dad describes a confrontation he had with her mom in 1996, in which he recounts an argument in a restaurant parking lot, where 'Ms. Prejean accused me, in front of our daughter, of homosexuality.'"

Perhaps Garofalo would be a better guest to discuss the psychological theories behind all HOMOPHOBIA to put this all into a nice neat package for the tolerant left.
My oh my....This whole thing is getting absurd. But when demogogues and haters run a debate, what should we expect?
