lol how appropriate that pic is, being Beck will be featured in worse for doing something KO knows very well.
He drummed it up pretty good, show clip of Beck looking confused and Whoopi and Barbara bickering at him, move it to slow-mo, freeze the tape on Beck and convert it to black and white and zoom in with a dramatic sound in the background..............UH-OH!!
Also #4 Newt's lying as well, finally Countdown show that has material KO know all too much about. As he stated at the beginning " the problem with being a hypocritical liar is at some point you get caught being one " or something I dunno, the guy talks so fast it's like he's running an auction sometimes.
But it's obvious KO's speaking from personal experience on this one.
Great pic...the girl on the sign appears to be very young...just about Oldie's, I mean, Olby's speed.
Worse was Gov somebody, I dunno, I had it muted.
Worser was O"Reilly and Rush ( I guess cause they had their picture in it ) for being ridiculed by Mike Savage. Um....yeah that makes sense.
And Beck was Worst. For...oh we all know. His ego will be laid to rest on Friday.
This is probably the best show of Countdown evar for us Olbywatchers.
Oh btw bits form WTF.
He told Rush to shut up, used the phrase F U, and had patriotic music playing as he continues to tell him to shut up.
Another moment in broadcasting history? We report, you decided.
Worser blue blog source: Media Matters. Worst blue blog source: Media Matters, again.
As for What the Komment, new Murrow indeed.
Ol FatAss Olbermann just CAN'T do it.
Rush gives a challenge and olby blows it on the 1st night.
Message to Olbermann... Quit while you can, jerk. Talk about ego there Keith, yours is at its all time high while your ratings are at an all time LOW. Back at cha keith, F U you hack. Go and hide in your bathtub, or hide behind your buttboy Perez Hilton, or your twin Janine Garatattoo.
It's obvious that Rush struck a nerve with you and msnbc, let's see what happens tomorrow?
Bathtub Boy really looks exceptionally orange tonight. Either the color on my TV is going bad or he needs to lighten up on the spray-on tan sessions.
Hypocrisy alert: He claims Rush is coarsening political discourse...on his WTF segment in which he says FUsegment. He then accuses Rush of reading press releases!
Keith Olbermann, America hater, playing patriotic music. I guess he was trying to be "ironic" there.

Another Great Moment in Olbypocrisy, Rick.
On Monday night, Keith attacked O'Reilly in WPitW, the attack featured a Think Propaganda excerpt of The O'Reilly Factor Post-Game Show for last Wednesday for BillOReilly.com premium members. Now through Memorial Day (while Bill is off), the Post-Game Shows are available for everyone to see. So, feel free to watch those shows in their entirety, especially last Wednesday's (May 13) since it was used in an attack.
I'm going to listen to the "Countdown with WTF" at MSNBC website later because I thought I heard a really big lie from the "Lie-On" at the start of his "WTF" segment. Be back later.
Are you sure this guy wasn't born Kaliq Omar Imam?
So, Rush is a "press release regurgitator"? Didn't Olby just rip off Media Matters for 2 segments tonight...Beck and Gingrich. I checked Media Matters and they even boast that Olby used their website. "Olbermann cites Media Matters in stating Gingrich was "factually wrong on so many points" in GMA interview".
Hypocrisy at it's finest.
I wouldn't believe Olbermann if he swore on the Bible that he was lying.
Olby's "news" comes from the blue blogs
In the Nielsen's he's laying logs
A journalistic botch
Just sit back and watch
Olby circle 'til the drain clogs
Ol' WTF got totally pwned by Limbaugh. I loved it that Rush kept referring to MessNBC as " Your little network". That really got under Ol' WTF's skin. Drove him crazy. Regardless how he tries to spin it, WTF and MessNBC have been slapped hard by Limbaugh.
does msnbc get it
or do we need to spell it out for them
O-L-B-E-R-M-A-N-N I-S- A F-R-A-U-D!
#5 Story is a hoot. Why do the loony left (25 - 30% of our country and growing) give a crap about what happens to psychotic religious zealots? They'll tell you it's because of two reasons:
1) SOME may be innocent. "No, I was just getting eggs from my poor starving children (in the middle of a fire fight) when I got scared and hid by this IED."
2) The world hates us now and they loved us before Gitmo.
Obviously none of these work. The plain and simple fact is they all have Bush Derangement Syndrome, period! They are so pathological that they can't let it go even though they won the elections.
Here is a telling part of #5 that tells us not only is Oxymoronmann a slovenly political hack but an idiot too. Here's a question he posed to Wolfman Jackass:
"Are the Republicans really saying that terrorists already being held in federal prisons, as ones in the naval brigs, that they're not terrorists and, also, one side question to that, how many attempts have been made by terrorists to storm Gitmo and free the detainees who are all in one place?"
Republicans - WTF!? By a vote of 90-6, the Senate approved an amendment to a war funding bill Wednesday that not only blocks supplemental funds from being used to close Guantanamo and move detainees to U.S. soil, but also orders that no funds already in U.S. coffers be redirected toward that purpose.
Are there 90 Republicans in the Senate now?
And here's where he's an idiot. Even a psychotic religious zealot ain't gonna attack a U.S. Naval Base. You've got destroyers, carriers and all sorts of air support. Not to mention a platoon of highly trained armed forces with no innocent civilians. This guy is a complete nut job.
Ol' WTF is leading the parade of those shouting " THE CIA IS A BUNCH OF LYING LIARS!" This might come back to bite Ol' WTF on his ample pear shaped rear end. One can hope.
Great sign in the pic. The young girl featured on the sign appears to be Tur's little sister. Speaking of Assholebermann's squeeze, she in looking quite stylish on TWC wearing her Sarah Palin spectacles. They do not help for the poor girl though. Still a dog. Decent rack but, still a dog.

OK, I get it now. It's the Republicans fault that funding for the Gitmo closing fail in the Senate because:
1) According to Olby, the Republicans played the "terror card". WTF?
2) Olby says, "...the president was meticulous about keeping much of the National Security apparatus in place...same head of the FBI, same Secretary of Defense...did we just see, today, the problem with that." Then he goes on to accuse one or both of those guys of "leaking" misinformation about detainee recidivism and "90% of the Senate fell for it". Again, WTF?
It's all the Republicans, Robert Gates and Robert Mueller's fault. They tricked and manipulated the Democrats into voting "No" on the funds to close Gitmo.
This is the worst piece of "journalism" I've ever seen. No facts to back up anything he said...period. It was pure speculation and partisan politics. Of course he could not lay blame with his Democrats so he had to search out a scapegoat. WTF? How anyone can take this HACK seriously is beyond me.
I find the " F U " comment somewhat personal, because I got fired from my job of 12 years for those 2 little words. I made 36k a year and was good at my job.
While he's complaining about the price of Yankee tickets some of us are barely scraping by. I'm still waiting for all these jobs the messiah promised us, instead of our money being used to insure some government jobs stay intact.
The #1 story once again proves Olbermann is an apologist for Obama. Remember the truth, Obama is The President...He claimed the moral high ground on closing GITMO. His administration has FAILED to develop a plan that even reasonable people can accept.
Richard Wolffe even says, "I am going to start by being reasonable," but backs off putting the responsbility for this mess where it belongs, on Obama. He goes into the silliness of claiming the democrats are "scared" while never going into the truth that Obama failed to rebutt the arguments concerning putting detainned terrorists into the American judicial system with rights and procedures not applicable to them.
So close to being "reasonable," oh well....a miss.
Olbermann tries to pull Wollfe into his conspiracy theories about Bushies inside the pentagon as responsible for this fiasco....he doesn't bite but again apologizes for Obama. Wollfe should run for public office....he could still get the nutroots anti-America vote but still seem like a reasonable person!
This is ridiculous...Where is Gibb's quote yesterday that The White Houses' decision to close GITMO was a, "hasty decision?" Oh that's right....that admission of responsiblity by Obama's mouthpiece would hurt Olbermann's fact-free narrative!
The President is responsible for our national security...he is responsible to get that funding and if he does not get it he FAILED to convince even a simple majority of his own party members that he is acting responsibly....The irony here is that BUSH GOT FUNDING FOR THE IRAQ WAR WHEN PEOPLE WERE CLAIMING HE WAS COMMITTING WAR CRIMES AND THE WAR WAS ILLEGAL! Why does Olbermann not face that simple truth?....
Obama bungled his politically motivated and foolish decision to precipitously close GITMO by the end of the year (2009) and now he must modify this promise.
The President's rush speech today in response to his pathetic actions will be filled with cliche, tough words and distraction....Olbermann will eat it up like the shill he has always been.
When Iraq policy is modified and troops remain past the due date.....when Obama continues the domestic surveillance and the other claimed "unconstitutional" aspects of The Patriot Acts...when Obama continues the military tribunals he himself said were wrong once....and when Obama continues to have GITMO opened past 2009 despite his PROMISE not to do so.....
Olbermann will lie and blame REPUBLICANS! Unbelievable.
This is the most biased and lie-filled hour of TV ever on the air. Keith Olbermann is a leftist shill.
VERO POSSUMUS! WTF?
He, he, he...Olbermann's juvenile retort to Limbaugh last night brought this suprisingly insightful and self-aware post at kos....
Mother of Jeebus, Keith. I almost agree with...Rush?!?!
[...]
"And, dammit, Keith, I love you...but devoting half the show every night to the latest inane thing that BillO or Hannity or Beck or Rush has bloviated about has ceased to be all that much fun. We know they lie. We know their logic is riddled with inconsistencies. We know they're all full of hot air.
"Sir, if I may speak for my fellow Kossacks - and I know that's a dangerous bit of hubris - we don't tune in to Countdown because we expect to be surprised in any way by the latest rantings of the Limbaugh/Beck/Hannity/Savage wing. Nor do we tune in because we care deeply about the latest twist in your personal feuds with any of those blowhards.
"No, we tune in to you (and to Rachel, and to Ed, and even Matthews) because we want a take on the news of the day that's opinionated in a direction other than that of Fox News. We want to hear from voices Fox News won't put on the air. We want you to challenge the powerful - yes, even if those in power are in our party. We want, in short, not to hear the nonstop reprise of Fox News-this and Rush Limbaugh-that.
"Those of us who are long-time 'Countdown' viewers know that the show has changed direction in the past as the world around it has changed. I remember the nightly 'stories my producers are making me do' roundups of celebrity fluff, and the weekly American Idol recaps (why?), and the days when 'Countdown' had at least one field reporter (remember Monica Novotny?) out covering a story about something other than politics.
"It's starting to feel like the show is stalled on January 19, 2009, unable to move forward into a post-Bush era and mired in a constant funk of 'WTF?!'
"Is it possible that Rush Limbaugh, whatever he may have meant by his proposal for a moratorium on his MSNBC appearances, might actually have been on to something?
"What, sir, would your show look like if it didn't have the easy crutch of 'look what dumb thing Rush did today' to fall back on?
"Maybe, just maybe, it's time to find out?"

The problem of reality is that Olbermann would have nothing to talk about if he did not use the distractions of his enemies list to pad the hour! The "nothing to talk about" is R-E-A-L-I-T-Y, the truth of what is going on in our world that does not fit the radical ideological narrative Olbermann is commited to....That narrative requires heroes and villians...the very situation he recetly said FNC only deals in!
Hypocrisy.
I did a search for a response by the pear-shaped one and as of this post he has no opinion. His shrinking audience needs the agenda he provides, it just seems like they do not want the out-of-power righties 80% of the time!
They actually want, "truth-to-power." Word.
Can he do it?
VERO POSSUMUS! WTF?
On WTF's WTF segment, the "Lie-On" King earns his nickname big time:
First he states that Rush "can't take it anymore" that MSNBC "has gotten to him" and therefore Rush "has surrendered". He further states that Rush "does not want to be on TV any more".
All of the above quotes are so wrong. It is clear from the Rush clip that Keithee shows next that Rush is throwing out a "challenge" to MSNBC to not cover Rush on any MSNBC program for 30 days and then view their ratings. That's all Rush said. He never said that MSNBC's coverage of him bothers him in any way. He never said he doesn't want to be on TV any more" And anybody who watched that WTF segment knows that KO lied through his teeth. Not exaggerated the truth, but flat-out lied.
The "F U" that Keithee barks after the Rush clip is a new all-time low for this miserable excuse for a "news" program. I hope it earns him a trip to even lower ratings permanently.
"we tune in to you (and to Rachel, and to Ed, and even Matthews) because we want a take on the news of the day that's opinionated in a direction other than that of Fox News"
This is a pretty telling statement. The Kossack basically admits that he wants his news to be biased, and that Fox News, in not presenting a liberal POV, is thus bad. Unbelievable.
He also seems to be under the impression Fox News is the default news organization in the country, as if CNN, the broadcast networks and the vast (but dying) newspaper establishment don't exist.
So even when they think they are doing the right thing, which is lambasting KO, they are still full of crap
The kos diary is pretty revealing.
The same has been said by the Olbermann defenders here, like MikeH, in the past....Olbermann's bias is IN RESPONSE to and NEEDED to counter Fox....It is a ridiculous argument on so many levels but it is believed by the usually "smart and well informed" left.
So when the ever shrinking COUNTDOWN audience complains Olbermann is giving too much press to the Limbaughs, Becks, O'Reilly's and Cheney's of the world and not
speaking "truth to power," it seems rather ironic, doesn't it?
Oh well, nuance was never Olbermann's gift....I suppose he didn't learn that at Cow U.
Olbermann questioned last night that, "[Obama] was meticulous about keeping much of the National Security apparatus in place...same Secretary of Defense...did we just see, today, the problem with that?"
NO NO WAIT! The real problem is that President Obama doesn't KNOW who his Secretary of Defense actually is.......
Obama recognizes Sec Def "William Gates"

###
That's why all of these problems with plans for the GITMO detainees, the scare-force-one NYC flyover, flip-flops on releasing the prisoner photos and even now the reversal on military tribunals....OBAMA HAS BEEN SENDING HIS MEMOS TO WILLIAM GATES, not ROBERT GATES. Uff, da!
Seriously, though.....
Olbermann will surely not cover this gaffe by his dear Obama, I am sure...but simply add this one to the dozens and remember TOTUS is responsible, not SNOBamessiah!
VERO POSSUMUS! WTF?
Gee Keith, those attacks on 'DICK' Cheney sure are working right?
What! What! What! WTFFFFFFFFFFFF!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Slam!....Olbermann has his ad hominem attack ideologue for tonights first story to provide the "analysis" of Cheney's excellent speech.....
"This guy just has to lie from beginning to end through his setup of his opposition's position in order to advance any of his ideas at all, none of which have any proof to them at all."

Aww, Lawrence prefers politicans who support "torture" in private when they see polls telling them they need not worry about it rather than a principled and honest man who is very clear on what he believes and what he did as a responsible executive.
Too bad for Lawrence that Cheney's speech had not ONE inaccuracy in the events that occurred and he spoke well in terms of the lack of transparancy in the current administration....Where oh where are the rest of the memos?
The church of SNOBamessiah priests like O'Donnell are absolutely apoplectic when a calm, respectful and well spoken man like Dick Cheney speaks truth to their power.....The emotional reaction is telling.
"LIAR!" "RESIGN!" Oh....wait, Cheney is not in government anymore...and he is a free man after, "authorizing torture!"
VERO POSSUMUS! WTF?
After watching both speeches today I realized Obama is digging his own hole. He spent a good portion of the beginning of his speech bashing the Bush administration's policy's that it felt like a campaign speech. And in a failed ditch effort he's trying to convince the American people that any further MAN MADE DISASTERS would be not because of him, but as a result of the severe nature of Bush's policy's.
This was suppose to be about the closing of GITMO and how he lost the funds for it, and as reported, he simply didn't give us or capitol hill anymore information on his plan for closing it down than he did back when he signed the executive order.
Cheney on the other hand pretty much stood up for what he and the Bush administration did. Actions that no one else but him would defend. And he was right in doing so.
Obama was suppose to give us more of a plan on GITMO, but instead gave us more Bush bashing. And the reason he's digging his hole is this could have been one campaign promise that could have been swept under the rug. But he let his arrogance get the best of him in his first week and now he's stuck with a problem.
In the end he could have left GITMO open and blamed for Bush for a situation he couldn't solve. But instead it's now his problem and he's trying to pass the buck.
And one probable reason why he still doesn't have a solution, the same people who told him not to release the photo's are probably the same ones telling him to leave GITMO as it is.
And well, we don't want those popularity polls going down now do we.
Let's see which Media Matters stories Obly "regurgitates" tonight. Here are a few:
1) "Latest Guantánamo Falsehood: "No Member" of Congress Offered to Take Detainees."
2) "Gingrich Continues Pelosi Attacks With Misrepresentation Of CIA Director's Statement".
3) "Limbaugh Says Boehner, Sessions, Steele "Don't Run The Republican Party".
4) "Conservatives Repeat Inane Claim: CO2 Can't Be A Pollutant Because "We Breathe" it".
My guess is he will regurgitate at least two, possibly three of the Media Matters "stories".
There was one noteworthy viewer e-mail Wednesday night on "The O'Reilly Factor":
Dave Shaugnessy, Rye, NY: "Bill, why do you fuss over the [New York] Times and NBC News? The paper is going out of business and you crush MSNBC."
Bill's response: "Goes to honesty, sir. I believe I have to hold these people accountable. They have power."
