Grammie, you were dreaming. Obama isn't president. Joe Biden is retired. Keith Olbermann is working weekends at some station doing sports on the weekend. Ed Shultz is a greeter at Wal Mart. Rachel Maddow is just NOWHERE! And Chris Mathews has shooting pain in his arml. And I'm married to Mariska Hargitay.
Saddly, this isn't a dream. It's quickly becoming a nightmare
Can anybody tell me one, and I mean just one, network news show that would have such a malicious, nasty excuse for a human being on besides Olberdouche? Even the twats at comedy central would mercilessly mock this cruel little troll but Olberdouche chuckles along.
There was a "SEPERATED AT BIRTH?" moment there.....Like some longtime married couples, Olbermann and Musto are starting to look like they are related.
Maddow better keep Mr. Genitalia off her show or there will be conspiracy theories that she is leading a double life....Especially if she wears her Barry Goldwater frames. Creepy lower Manhattan styles really create strange looking clones!
Oh well....I believe there is enough "Great Moments in Broadcast Journalism" for a volume one DVD....Is there any way some poor guys can make some dough from all of this great material? I would be a willing investor, J$.
His fans, especially his smitten gal pals, just lap it up as if it were ambrosia instead of vomit that is pouring from their mouths. Surely some adult at NBC will rein him in soon.
Daily Kos has a new diary up about 65% of kossiaks souring on Olbermann! I can't cut & paste a link so any help would be appreciated. Of course, Olby has already replied to the diary in the comment section. Poor Olby.
Here is the thread from KOS. KO only briefly added a comment saying something about critics, big whoop bathtub boy. That's ALL you could come up with? Anyway...enjoy.
Has the Daily Kos community soured on Keith Olbermann? Hotlist
by Simon Owens [Subscribe]
Fri May 01, 2009 at 08:49:53 AM PDT
A survey found that 65% of Daily Kos' discussion of a recent Olbermann segment is negative.
Last week, Fox News' Sean Hannity made an off-the-cuff offer to partake in waterboarding for charity, an announcement that MSNBC's Keith Olbermann met with his own charity offer.
"For every second you last, a thousand dollars -- live or on tape, provided other networks' cameras are there," the MSNBC anchor said. "A thousand dollars a second, Sean, because this is no game. This is serious stuff. Put your money where your mouth is, and your nose. Oh, and I'll double it when you admit you feared for your life, when you admit the horrible truth -- waterboarding, the symbol of the last administration, is torture."
Over the past few years, members of the liberal blogosphere have been among Olbermann's most ardent supporters, perhaps none more so than the diarists at Daily Kos. During every show of his the community hosts an "open thread" and Olbermann himself often blogs at the liberal site.
But the negative response the Kos community had for this Olbermann segment and others indicates a certain level of animosity is growing towards the MSNBC host. As of this writing, Olbermann's charity offer has spawned nine diary posts and nearly 1,400 comments at Daily Kos. I surveyed a sizable percentage of these comments and found that approximately 65% of the discussion of Olbermann is negative. About 30% of the comments are positive, while the remaining 5% is neutral.
"Someone should ask Olbermann why he would want to inflict any such treatment on any other living human," one commenter wrote. "And, if what he is proposing comes up short of what we did with our 'enhanced interrogation techniques' what's to be gained by giving Hannity any attention."
Much of the negative coverage followed in this vein, while Olbermann supporters said that the anchor's offer was a good idea, one that would finally teach Hannity that waterboarding constitutes torture.
"I disagree," one person wrote. "This is co-opting Hannity's stunt. I think Hannity is now in a losing position. Either he backs out, or Olbermann makes some actual good come out of Fox News."
This isn't the first indication that the Daily Kos community has soured on Olbermann. When CNBC's Jim Cramer appeared on the Daily Show -- an appearance that many considered an embarrassment to CNBC and its parent company -- the Kos community harshly criticized Olbermann for not highlighting the interview on his show. Many accused him of bowing down to alleged demands that MSNBC anchors not mention the Cramer/Stewart interview. Olbermann himself showed up in the comment threads to defend himself from these charges.
But if this is a sign that the Kossacks have turned on Olbermann, who will take his place in the cable news lineup as the liberal blogosphere's darling? Both Rachel Maddow and (ironically) FNC's Shepard Smith have been getting favorable coverage from Daily Kos in recent months. Might one of them become the blog's newest champion?
"LOL....Nothing benefits a critic better than being criticized."
###
The degree of Olbermann's insecurity seems to know no bottom.
Remember DEMOCRAT Ben Nelson made an accurate observation that Olbermann was the radical left's equivalant to Limbaugh, Hannity or Beck and the result was predicatable....The noble US Senator was made WPitW by an obviously insulted Olbermann.
Here we see the giggle text....LOL....Good response....Then the defensive, "well at least you're all talking about me....that will benefit my ratings!" HOW "LIMBAUGH" OF HIM!
A sorry man....a superficial man.....a mean man.....
"Mean," came up in the comments section, in connection to his misogynist rant with Mr. Genitalia last night.
It’s OK to call Prejean a tranny to make fun of her. However they're making fun of her because of her stance on gay marriage, the holy grail for the LGBT movement. Aren't trannies the T in LGBT?
Oh wait, he's gay, I guess it's OK for him to make fun of trannies. I guess he really hates boobs, regardless if they're on a woman or a dude.
Wow! Al Franken glamed it up!
What? it's Michael Musto? My bad.
Please, someone, anyone tell me that I was dreaming and didn't really see that!
These are always fun to watch. lol

Great vid as always J$.
Just wondering. Does anyone know how much Olberorange paid for his man boobs?
Andy Levy viciously reminded S.E. Cup to " please don't refer to Keith Olbermann as a newsman." Sometimes Red Eye gets out of control.
There was a "SEPERATED AT BIRTH?" moment there.....Like some longtime married couples, Olbermann and Musto are starting to look like they are related.
Maddow better keep Mr. Genitalia off her show or there will be conspiracy theories that she is leading a double life....Especially if she wears her Barry Goldwater frames. Creepy lower Manhattan styles really create strange looking clones!

"....cut off her penis. And...uh, ha, ha."
Yeah, I saw Musto on there and I was like, "I guess Christian Finnegain didn't have anything to plug, so wheel out the ugliest gay guy there is."
"Not just a boob, but a fake boob." Wow, KO describes himself perfectly here. This should be his new tagline in MSNBC ads for "Countdown."
Cee posted the link to the entire segment over at J$P.
It's not easy but I listened to the entire segment.
It is as bad as anything he and the freaky Musto have ever done. Absolutely appalling!

The BIGGEST BOOB is Olberboyy and his pathetic guests. Every one a liberal un-attractive boob on their own.

I'm confused by Musto's comments.
It’s OK to call Prejean a tranny to make fun of her. However they're making fun of her because of her stance on gay marriage, the holy grail for the LGBT movement. Aren't trannies the T in LGBT?
Oh wait, he's gay, I guess it's OK for him to make fun of trannies. I guess he really hates boobs, regardless if they're on a woman or a dude.
