    Olbermann Watch, "persecuting" Keith since 2004


    May 29, 2009
    Friday Night Recappers Open Thread
    Bathtub Boy

    We know that the Mancow controversy will be featured on OlbyPlanet tonight: he was waterboarded by someone who didn't know how to waterboard, then the Jerry Springer producer who set it up said it was really just a hoax. Mancow reacted by denying it was a hoax, while simultaneously admitting that, well, it was really a "simulated" waterboarding. Confused? Maybe that's the intent.

    The infamous, deplorable one will not stand for anyone impugning his superb Edward R Murrow credentials as a crack journalist, and so he'll be bringing Mancow on tonight to tell us that yes, it is too waterboarding. Why does Mancow rant about the left taking advantage of this incident, and then sign up for a second appearance on OlbyPlanet? Just what is his endgame? By the end of The Hour of Spin will Mancow be screaming: "I'm a celebrity, get me out of here!"?

    Do your Countdown recapping right here. It's the end of the week so let 'er rip! Be an Olbermann Watch blogger without all the muss and fuss. Comments are open!

    Meanwhile, on "The O'Reilly Factor," Democratic strategist and TruTV host Jami Floyd will be a guest for one of the segments. She promoted that in a status update on her Facebook profile. Since I'm one of her Facebook friends, I left a comment. I said "see you then." Three of the next four comments were from O'Reilly haters, two wanting her to interview hijack.

    I know that was irrelevant, but since those people were probably Olbermann viewers, judging by their rhetoric, I wanted to share.

    So will Muller join the Olber-darkside?

    I hope so, then he can fill in for Olby.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LX1avzccpYo

    There's something soo striking. I can't put my finger on it.

    I am no longer a Facebook friend of Jami Floyd. I know, O'Reilly haters, Floyd and Acker, frankly beat the *crap* out of him. And worse yet, he told poor Tanya Acker to keep quiet. That was so painful to watch. I'd feel different if they were Fox News Contributors, but neither of them are.

    Vintage Olbermann tonight. Mancow's waterboarding was not a hoax because the word "hoax" was only used once in the email correspondence. Hey Keith, the term "Mission Accomplished" was only on ONE banner. They didn't really mean it.

    How was the rest of the conversation with Mancow?

    Mike C, I know you (the general you) can't talk about Olbermann without bringing up O'Reilly, but I really wish you (specifically) could tone down the non sequiturs. I appreciate your service to this blog, but a little less O'Reilly/FNC please. Thanks.


    Olbermann looked very uncomfortable as he did his usual facial contortions while offering his mindless drivel about the waterboarding hoax. He admitted that his producers were privy to the emails stating that Mancow's waterboarding was a hoax prior to having him on the show. Like two kids sitting in the principal's office, KO and Mancow were laughing and joking trying not to focus on the trouble they are in. The seriousness of the first interview was a distant memory. It was replaced with an awkward joviality about the "hoax" controversy. The most honest thing Mancow said in referring to himself and Olbermann was, "We don't want to be in this situation, trust me folks." Mancow went on to make an inappropriate analogy about the death of Mike Tyson's daughter, with no response from Olbermann, other than the usual grunt.

    I only keep bringing Bill and FNC up because some things that occur on FNC or "The Factor" end up being used against them by blue blogs and, in turn, Keith. I know you and plenty of others here at OlbyWatch don't like that, but I can't help it. Outside of J$, I'm probably the biggest supporter of O'Reilly and FNC on this site.
    As I've said in the past, I used to be a huge fan of Keith. But when he started going after my guy, that fandom ceased. And since mid-January 2007, two weeks after swearing off Olby and MSNBC outside of what I saw here (which lasted until later in the year), I haven't gone a day without missing any "Factor" that Bill is hosting. (I typically tune out for fill-ins.) I'm as devoted to "The Factor" as some women are to soap operas (daytime dramas). As crazy as that makes people that hate me (Newshounds) think it does, that's the truth. It helps to see and hear (when he had "The Radio Factor") and know what Bill is saying and what happens on his show. That way, I'm prepared for an inevitable smear from haters.
    I don't know what else to say now.

    6 SECONDS?
    Definite HOAX!
    Congrats MANCOWARD for getting MY WPITW (Worst PUSSY in the World) vote.

    Please forgive..........I'm still seething over this sham.

    Olbermann defended his Mancow interview by stating his staff "did all the due diligence and then some." "We contacted the publicist..." "We contacted the waterboarder..." "We spoke to Mancow himself..." "We reviewed the waterboarding tape..." It sounds like everyone involved in the hoax reassured KO, and that was good enough for him! As long as it supports his stance, bring 'em on! If Olbermann had any semblance of integrity, he would have informed his viewers of the emails declaring this whole thing to be a hoax. Even if he went on with the interview, the sixteen people watching his show could have made up their own minds.

    Did either of them mention O'Reilly? As I said in two other threads, one of the topics in the Kelly File segment last night was Drew Peterson calling (collect) in to Mancow's show from prison. Mancow was referred to this way (from my own transcription):
    O'REILLY: "... [Peterson] calls in to a radio station, which accepts the collect call. He goes on the air and says this. Roll it."
    (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
    PETERSON: "I know we can't do the 'Date with Drew' anymore."
    MULLER (Identified as "Host"): "Yeah."
    PETERSON: "But I'm thinking what we should do is like, 'Win a conjugal visit with Drew.' Let's do that."
    (LAUGHTER)
    "$20 million for bond, you know. Legal fees: tens of thousands. Being falsely accused of a homicide that didn't happen: priceless."
    (END VIDEO CLIP)
    O'REILLY: "All right. So, this guy charged with murder, suspected in another murder, yuks it up with a couple of shock jocks. But the system can't stop that, right?"
    MEGYN KELLY: "No. It can't stop that, and I don't find him funny at all."
    O'REILLY: "Nobody does."
    KELLY: "He called in to Mancow's show. You know Mancow."
    O'REILLY: "Sure."
    KELLY: "He's on Fox News relatively frequently. He's got a good sense of humor. Even *he* wasn't laughing at Drew Peterson."
    O'REILLY: "He shouldn't have taken the call."
    KELLY: "Well, listen, you call collect, you get a guy like that, he's a newsmaker. We'd put him on our if he wanted to talk with us."
    O'REILLY: "No. I would not."
    KELLY: "If he started to talk like that, it'd be a different story. He'd get challenged on our show."
    O'REILLY: "I'd interview the man, but as soon as he started that stuff, he'd get his...it wouldn't...you know..."
    KELLY: "That's the problem."
    O'REILLY: "Right."
    KELLY: "Once he started to joke. I mean, Bill, he's got one wife dead ..."
    And it went on from there.
    Yes, I did it again, hailstate. I'm sorry, and I'm not doing this to spite you, but I feel like the O'Reilly correspondent for this site. I can't change my ways, at least not now, but I'll think about what you said.

    I watched Mancow on Olby tonight and again, I'm convinced Mancow is spoofing Olby. Maybe Monday he'll go on radio and say as much.

    I actually liked that segment with Floyd and Acker, lol. Bill got his point across, but it'll just be more fodder for his critics. I guess we got different tastes when it comes to The Factor, but for me I love it when the guests just tap dance around Bill and can't answer easy questions. That's when they get the Barney.

    I probably would have liked it better, Lafinman, if I didn't have to deal with the O'Reilly haters that are friends with her on Facebook. For the show's sake, it was a good segment. Robust debate is always interesting and what makes "The Factor" great. I'll probably re-add Jami in a day or two once I get over the sting of those haters. But I won't watch the segment again when I re-watch tonight's show tomorrow.

    ...on DVR.

    Now that I know Mancow's waterboarding was fake, I watched it again. It is obvious to me that this was a complete hoax. Prior to pouring the water, the "waterboarder" starts to count to five, at which time he will begin. As he starts with "One," Mancow asks, "Gonna hold my nose?" The "waterboarder" puts his hand on the bridge of his nose, and Mancow tells him to "move down a little." The "waterboarder" repositions himself and it appears that he actually pinches Mancow's nose as he holds the blindfold on his face. The water is poured only on his mouth and not on his nose. In fact, the "waterboarder" appears to grip Mancow's nose and push toward his chin, leveling his head slightly. The water being poured on his mouth is shooting upward as it hits his mouth, indicating that he getting little or no water inside his mouth.
    Olbermann can't understand what the motivation would be to do such a thing?? Prior to this debacle, I and probably most other people had hardly heard of this guy and now he's getting more publicity than he's ever gotten. Olbermann is naive enough to believe Mancow would never admit to being wrong just to get publicity. Just when you think Olby can't be any more preposterous, he takes idiocy to a new level.

    If any of you have had the opportunity to compare the Mancow "WBoarding" with the Christopher Hitchens "WBoarding", you would have to agree that they were done completely differently. Hitchens "torture" was done by bona fide professionals. They actually had Hitch on a board, head below his heart level, face completely covered. He was given instructions of how to end the exercise immediatly. Water was poured very slowly, in small amounts, over his face.
    Mancow, on the other hand, screamed "DROWNING!" after his ordeal. Why? Because they poured HUGE amounts of water down his gullet, all at once.
    The Hitchens exercise proved that you accomplish the same result by doing it with finesse' and expertise. Olbermann was more than happy to double down on Mancow's low-rent version of "waterboarding". No wonder it his blown up in his face.

    Behold "REAL" waterboarding:

    Sorry, this link works:

    I think Mancow is pulling everybody's chain. He may get away with it as he's a professional actor:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPzV0YgqtRY

    Olby explaining this wasn't fake and why:

    "Even though that is 12 ounces of water going up his nose and in his mouth and into his throat and LUNGS in 6 seconds."

    He's such a frickin' liar that he couldn't stop at throat. It's obvious even to a dumass KOS blogger that no water got in his lungs. Wait....sorry.

    The Radio Equalizer, Brian Maloney, has chimed in on the Mancow waterboarding mess.

    MikeC, whatever you do please DO NOT stop with the O'Reilly stories. Whether I see his show that night or not I always love your little recaps about what went down with O'Reilly. At the very worst by bringing his show up every night on OW it may help to stem the tide of maniacs who gravitate towards their insecure lying anti-American ruler, and at its best it helps to prove that there is at least one journailist who hasn't sold his soul to the devil.

    The comparisons between the two are quite a contrast (to say the least), and the more you bring up what O'Reilly said and did on his show the more chances there are of at least one lovesick follower of the ape ruler who may actually see the light. The odds aren't great, to be sure, but at least by you recapping some of O'Reilly's shows, and then after reviewing the recap's on OW there could be one moron out there who may take that first step to question their hero where they could then at least just be labeled as stupid. (It's a long process to convert ape followers into humans).

    Yes Mike, keep up with the O'Reilly stories so that the uninformed who may read this blog can get to see just how much of an unprofessional anti-American fraud olbermann is.

    Thanks, Wolverine. I *will* keep up with the O'Reilly stories. :)

    Mike C.,

    Excellent article at The Radio Equalizer, good find. It says allot when Olby discredits a left leaning site to promote his little show. I'm sure he was all for them when they PROMOTED his bullcrap last week.

    I'm not sure but hasn't he been refuting and pissing off a few leftwing blogs recently? There's a story there I think.

    How is being the "extreme left fascist loony King" been working out for him?

    mmmmmmmAnnCoulterFree....achhhhyaaaghrewwww...

    Ok how come no one is asking the critical question? KO has a "staff" Ha! Now we know what David Schuster does when he is not filling in for one of the "hosts"! LOL! I hope KO recalls that his "staff" member is the same guy that said Rove was going to be indited..oh what 4 years ago..

    Krazy Keith would water board Bush
    He'll kiss terrorists on the tush
    Mister Olbermahn, sir
    Is 9/11 a blur?
    Or would you give them the button to push?

    From Gawker:

    We say it all adds up to a fake—either by orchestration or half-assed laziness. The only reason that Olbermann—or anyone else for that matter—could come to a different conclusion is ideological fervor. This, according to Olbermann, is "changing the debate" on torture.

    http://gawker.com/5273106/oh-keith


    This episode tells you everything you need to know about krazy keith - a blind ideologue who has cornered himself into another stupid lie.

    It's stupid to try to use logic or argumentation to rebut the many krazy claims of keith. He is not "reporting" or seriously "arguing" about anything. Nope - he job is just to provoke and annoy.

    I always compare krazy keith to Sean Hannity (not B.O.). Both keith and Sean are partisans and both are trying to promote an agenda. The difference is that Keith calls himself a "journalist". That is simply a disgusting lie.

    How anyone can still take Keith seriously after the mancow incident is beyond me.

    Mancow tries to defend himself.

    http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/mancow/2009/05/29/bored-bloggers-are-all-wet/

    Big Hollywood ain't buying what he's selling.

    I linked to that in the Thursday blog, Syvyn, but thanks.
    P.J. Gladnick is next to chime in on Mancow, doing so at NewsBusters.

    Lets not forget MSNBC is "MSNBC is not left or right just interested in right from wrong? Keith Olbermann, April 2009! This episode with Madcow, is just the latest example of this obsession he has with anyone that would even dare question his ethics or the validity of his so called journalism. It just really bizarre he can spend hours hammering a person, belittling them, ruthlessly smearing their character over one or two words, but if you DARE call him out when its clear he had made a mistake or said something stupid..you are the bad guy and will in turn smear you for pointing out his mistake, because in Olbermann world he and ONLY HE had the moral superiorly to shame others.

    Another user on Keith Oralmann's blog of record is sick of him.

    Great catch, Mike....A nice quote from the kossack....

    "Further, this serves to distract attention from the continuing failure of the administration and the Dems in Congress to honor their promises on civil liberties, healthcare, financial system reform, ending the war, etc. etc. Sitting there watching Thursday night I felt like a liberal version of the clowns who watch Fox News and cheer every hit of a liberal politician or Democratic spokesman. It's just feeding us red meat without nutrition and blocking any real criticism of the failure of our Democratic majority to enact the mandate the country gave them."

    I scanned lots of vitriol in the comments section of that post. Bill O'Reilly should cover that one on Monday!

    Olbermann did comment about this story:

    Keith Olbermann: not necessarily the news

    http://miamiherald.typepad.com/changing_channels/2009/05/keith-olbermann-not-necessarily-the-news.html

    This quote from the writer, Glenn Garvin, was on kos:

    "I dunno, maybe actual NBC reporters don't want to come on Keith Olbermann's show since he took to bellowing insults at them on the air while anchoring the network's coverage of the Republican convention last year. Whatever the reason, he's now apparently resorted to faking stories. [...] This is not altogether surprising, since the supposed object of the waterboarding was Erich "Mancow" Muller, a Chicago shock-jock who regularly does silly stunts on the air. Nothing wrong with that on a morning-zoo radio show, but it's a little dicey when you're presenting yourself as a news operation. The idea was that Mancow would undergo waterboarding to test the contention of former Bush administration officials that it doesn't really amount to torture."

    And Olbermann's retort:

    "Garvin...piously partial, not even gifted at hiding it.

    "Cheers, all."

    Ah, what hypocrisy.....what wit. If anyone should not be casting stones at glass houses filled with "pious," "partial" and nongifted people it is Keith Olbermann.

    But as usual, the thick headed idiot shows he is totally unaware of his own shortcomings.

    By the way, Mr. Garvin has two excellent points later in the piece that, or course, Olbermann chooses not to respond to because they are valid, logical and cogent themes.....

    "Personally, I think the whole debate over the semantics of waterboarding is amazingly stupid -- whether it fits a technical legal description of 'torture,' it's obviously abusive and hideously unpleasant and not something any sane person would want installed in the routine interrogation arsenal of either law enforcement or the military. The question is -- or ought to be -- are we willing to allow it in the case of captured high-level terrorists? There are reasonable arguments on both sides. But presenting shock-jock publicity gags as news does nothing to illuminate them, though of course even on a good day Olbermann's show provides illumination only to the extent that you put your TV set in a dark room and turn up the brightness control to maximum.

    "Postscript: If I understood correctly the exchange between Olbermann and Mancow early in the segment, it sounds as if MSNBC paid $10,000 for Mancow's appearance. The fact that the money went to Mancow's favorite charity doesn't make it any less of a case of paying for news, which on real news shows is frowned upon."

    So true yet the radical anti-America left shill, Keith Olbermann, continues on his religious crusade posing as an NBC NEWS journalist.

    I wonder if anyone of broader reach than Garvin, and respect, say Howard Kurtz, will inform the general public of NBC NEWS's ethical lapses here?

    Accountability is a good thing, even for congregants of the church of SNOBamessiah.

    VERO POSSUMUS! WTF?

    Olbermann continues to have a problem with the Mission Accomplished banner because he prefers the white flag of surrender, just like his weasel friend Harry Reid. They can't help it, it's a liberal thing.

    Anyone want to bet that orangeman makes some moonbat claim that this is BOR's fault on Monday's show:

    WICHITA, Kan. (AP) The attorney for George Tiller says the late-term abortion provider was shot and killed at his church in Wichita, Kan.

    Attorney Dan Monnat says Tiller was shot as he served as an usher during Sunday morning services at Reformation Lutheran Church. Monnat said Tiller's wife, Jeanne, was in the choir at the time of the shooting.

    "Anyone want to bet that orangeman makes some moonbat claim that this is BOR's fault on Monday's show:"


    I think it's a safe bet that KO will devote a huge chuck of his show blaming O'Reilly and the rest of the Right for this murder..the rest of the Far-left blogs and MSM are already attacking the entire Pro-life movement without any proof of what the motives of the killer were.

    When radical Arab Terrorist kill 3000 people..KO and the PC crowd tells us to be careful not condemn the Muslim world..but when one nut who may or not be a member of the Pro-Life movement kills one person..everyone from the Pope down is blamed for it....double standards anyone?..and I'm sure KO will also deliver a "Special comment" on the story if he thinks it has legs to help him bash O'Reilly. New Murrow indeed.

    I agree, guys. Man on Fan is definitely going to bring this up tomorrow night and blame O'Reilly and the right (even though the two are not linked, since Bill is a non-partisan independent). At the very least, Bill will be Worst with "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor" knocked off (faded out) and theatrical indignation and faux outrage used. It's like his linking of that church shooter to Bernie Goldberg.

    He'll end with something like: "For the good of humanity, for the sake of humanity...QUIT!, Bill O'Reilly...today's Worst Person in the World."

    Oh, and don't forget: "You, sir, have blood on your hands."

    Let him rant all he wants, it won't change anyone's mind.

    RIP Tiller. Send us a postcard from hell.

    It's time for this week's Fox Haters Week in Review.

    Newshounds has already geared up the attacks on Bill and FNC...and J$...and me. Their minion commandeered the weekend thread.

    Time for Olbermann to go into full attack mode. No doubt he will accuse Bill O'Reilly of inciting murder. We might even get a call for censorship by Olbermann in some form. Olbermann will use Tillers death a call to arms against anyone who is against the murder of babies.

    I believe the man who mudered Tiller should be arrested and thrown in Jail. We are still a country that follows the rule of law for the moment. I would have rather seen Tiller rot in a prison cell for the rest of his life. However I do hope that Tiller is getting aborted over and over again in hell.

    I'm pretty sure I've seen O'Reilly mention Tiller's name specifically more than once, so I have no doubt that Jimmy Legs will tie some comment or comments made by O'Reilly and blame him, perhaps even at the exact same moment Bill is on his show condemning the murder.

    Maybe Keith can even muster a Special Comment on how after years of stopping fake terrorist plots, the "true terrorists" in the US are the GOP. Jeanine Garofalo can come on and say "This is about hating a black man, AND hating the abstract concept of choice!"

    Please please please. No cross-coverage of the goings-on at newshounds. Not here at at OlbyWatch. Johnny Dollar keeps his commentors on topic at his site. I wish the same could be said for OlbermannWatch, which has a different mission. I don't care to read any more transcripts from the Kelly file (I've not familiar with that)here at OW. I'm just asking nicely. I hope wolverine doens't jump down my throat for expressing my opinion.

    The only...ONLY!...ONLY!...reason I post all that crap is because it's partially related to the events of "Countdown" or may be part of an attack on a later "Countdown." This is exactly what I said in my response to hailstate on Friday night. I know you two (the only ones to come forward so far; I'm sure more will appear) don't like me or anyone going off topic. I don't like it either, but I don't feel I'm going off topic. But I'm sure anyone here that goes off topic doesn't think they are. So, I don't know what to think other than I've been reprimanded twice and it hurts.

    In Tiller's obit will they say he was 51 years old or it was his 204th trimester?

    The fool that killed him didn't stop late term abortions. I have no use for someone who murders instead of using his democratic powers to change the law.

    But please do not consider that jumping down your throat, Dan. I'll try my best to stay on topic.

    Mike C, thanks for considering my views on the matter. I do see you as very meaningful contributor to this site. Lets move on and continue to expose, mock, and diminish the deplorable hack performance artist, Keith Olbermann.

    Thanks, Dan. And here's a link that highlights an Olbermann Lie from last Wednesday: Noel Sheppard's headline today at NewsBusters reads "Olbermann Falsely Compares Sotomayor's Remarks to Alito's." It happened in #5. Another Olbermann Lie!

    Not only was that an OlbyLie; it was a Rip 'n Read. Keith got his Alito gotcha from Salon's Glenn Greenwald.

    Uh, oh....things just got complicated for the Reverand Olbermann as he distills tonight's church of SNOBamessiah revival hour.....

    Military Recruiter Killed In Ark. Shooting

    A tragedy surely for the victims and their families no matter what their personal beliefs, right?

    Shall we all begin recalling anti-war speech coming from Reverand Olbermann's pie hole all these many years?....Could his speech have incited someone to violence?

    Speculation, demogoguery, accusations....they are easily exercised on both extremes of the political spectrum.

    Glass houses are difficult to maintain.

    VERO POSSUMUS! WTF?

    Friday's ratings are out. At 8:00, the second Mancowmann extravaganza finished third in the 25-54 demo and a distant second in total viewers, not even breaking 1 million. Said extravaganza placed the same in both categories at 10:00 as they did at 8:00. Yes, it was Friday, but for the infamous, deplorable Keith Olbermann, any defeat is good.

    With all the blood dripping raw meat out there for the radical left to sink their teeth into, I am sure the following will be a muted mongrel on tonight's COUNTDOWN:

    Cheney Hints He Supports Gay Marriage

    http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2009/06/01/cheney_hints_he_supports_gay_marriage.html


    ###
    So, let me get this straight...the caricature "DARTH CHENEY," spread by the hate-filled demogogue, Keith Olbermann...you know Cheney, the man who takes pleasure in the pain and suffering of others....the man who does not respect freedom, The Constitution or human rights....this man, Dick Cheney....

    disagrees with President Obama by supporting of gay marriage!

    Will the leftist hate-filled moron cover this diddy tonight?....Highly doubtful.

    So, again, let us review....Obama wants to deny gay folk a right to enter into marriage while Cheney is open to such freedom....Wow....what a situation!

    And lastly, the Darth Vader image gets another reality hit....he thinks the Obamas should have had their nice date this weekend in NYC....what a guy....The sadist image seems to be a teeny bit off.

    It seems to go against the silliness Olbermann spewed in his SPECIAL COMMENT just recently.

    VERO POSSUMUS! WTF?

    "Mr. Bush, at long last, has it not dawned on you that the America you have now created, includes "cold-blooded killers who will kill people to achieve their political objectives?"


    It's now a pretty good bet that KO will blame O'Reilly for the Doctors murder for one of his guess tonight will be Andrew Sullivan who was one of the first online to level the charge against O'Relliy,Christans and Sara Palin..by the way for those who don't know Sullivan is one of the leaders of the "Trig Palin is not Sara's son" movement so he clearly meets KO's "high ethical standards". New Murrow indeed.

    I hope wolverine doens't jump down my throat for expressing my opinion....Dan

    No way Dan, but it is nice to be noticed. I do think however that all the topics here are relative in some way towards olbermann. O'Reilly says black, and you know the ape ruler will say white, but only after mentioning him first. As a matter of fact almost all things Fox and common sense correlate to olbermann and his fraudulent personality.

    Think about it? If there is no O'Reilly there goes 1/3 of his show. Take away newshounds and where does olbermann get his info? The Daily KOS of course, and is that not also at least another 1/3 of his show?

    It's all relative. You can't have one without the other, and in you not wanting to hear about one is understandable, but to not acknowledge that olbermann's whole existance depends on what newshounds, Daily KOS and O'Reilly have to say is like asking a writer not to divulge his sources.

    I hope you don't take that as jumping down your throat, (aka: philosophical water boarding) and alas this too is just my opinion. No harm meant.

    Resolved QuestionShow me another »

    Why does Keith Olbermann hate Republicans so much?

    Why does Keith Olbermann hate Republicans so much? From George Bush, to John McCain, to Sean Hannity and especially Bill O'Reilly. He really seems to have a hateful personality. I'm not a huge fan of George W. Bush or Bill O'Reilly either but Keith acts like he has a vendetta against them or something. It seems to me he just needs to get over it. He's too lazy to spend the whole hour of his show reporting facts and news so he spends most of it putting down each and every Republican he can think of. I'm a Republican and I don't hate Democrats at all. I disagree with them but I respect them. Just goes to show you what kind of person Olbermann is on and off camera. A real jerk.
