It's worth noting Col. Allard's 2/15/07 words (highlighted above) resurfaced in a recent O'Reilly Attack where Oralmann brought up two times when Bill referred to him directly. From what I read in the text Cee copied and pasted on here (I forget in which thread), Keith turned Bill reading a quote from Col. Allard into Bill calling out Keith. Obviously, that was not the case. (Bill even read Olbermann as "Olbermahn," which is where we get our nickname for him from.) Methinks Keith Olbsesses too much.

By the way, I'll have to watch "Huckabee" tomorrow on my DVR because I'm in Southwest Connecticut for a jazz concert. (I'm writing from my laptop in my hotel room.) If Keith is brought up, you know an attack will be forthcoming on Monday; if not, a What the Komment.

I'm back home, editing pictures, and watching/listening to "Huckabee." I was distracted at times, but from what I heard and saw, Harold Olbermann never came up in Col. Allard's interview.

KO has a lot of time on his hands while the gf is out chasing tornadoes. He's been very prolific at Daily Kos. His current entry is on the Olbermann Flood on the left rail but here's the link. Click on his name and go to "Comments". He's quite the chatty one.

At one point he took umbrage that someone questioned his status in the DKos community:

Pardon me, but, huh? (66+ / 0-)
I'm not part of the community? So when I've been coming here since '04 or '05, that hasn't counted somehow?
When critics throw "also a blogger at a left-wing site" at me and I've never reacted to it let alone disputed it, that was, what, to burnish my image?
This post is part of some sort of PR campaign? When I comment on somebody else's diary it's been after a meeting and a few focus groups?
Do you have any clue as to how far your assumptions diverge from reality?
MSNBC - the entire network, not my show - has two, count 'em, two, media relations people. There's a third one, but she works for NBC News. They answer every email, every phone call, and if we're actually trying to sell people on something they have to do the grunt work. They don't have the time to coordinate lunch.
I don't have a publicist, and my assistant only works for me around four hours a day - the rest of her day is spent working in the Graphics Department.
And my employers have never, ever, seen one of my posts here in advance and I have never cleared one of my comments with them.
Jeez Louise.

Btw, let's not forget KO bragging about his huge salary and all the taxes he pays while he's whining about the small staff at his network. How much are those Yankee tickets, again? Oh, and those baseball cards on ebay? Yeah, he wins friends and influences people wherever he goes.

What e-mail? Show me the link on MSNBC.com where I can send that s.o.b. an e-mail.

Mike C. I watched the Huckabee-Allard interview. I blanked out for a few seconds but I don't think there was a mention of Olbermann. To be honest judging from this blog he's not even worth mentioning. It was more about the NYT being borderline plagiarist and not even worth buying to train your dog.

Olby's like a while elephant
Expensive, but not relevant
Opinions inflated
Simply stated
Keith's hateful and malevolent

Olbermann makes a nice dig FNC on his favorite "community" web site:

"After years of professional consideration on this issue, I think it boils down to this:

"People watch Fox for the same reason they watch Daytime Drama (insult name: Soap Operas) or pro wrestling. This is the world as they'd like to see it, with heroes and villains they can react to appropriately. And an uncomfortably large percentage of the viewers think it's 100% real."

What an insightful opinion after "years of professional consideration."

Once again, along with all of the other pathologies that have been well documented here and elsewhere, projection is a frequent defense mechanism for Mr. Olbermann....And that's after SECONDS of my own "professional consideration."

So I suppose a world of heroes and villians has never been a paradigm for Mr. Olbermann and his guests? The radical left thrives on the same "coin of the realm" his comment derides....The latest?....

DICK CHENEY = DARTH VADER (or the Emperor with Bush as the fallen Anakin Skywalker)

BARACK OBAMA = SPOCK

I could go on with the simplistic childish dichotomies that Olbermann and his audience thrive on....but I have better things to do like empty my gutters.

Nuance is about as foreign to Olbermann as is logic.

VERO POSSUMUS! WTF?

Professional? Professional what? I'll tell you what, I'll right his #5 segment right now in less than two minutes. Here goes:

Peter King says getting to the truth about torture is anti-American!

Why is it so difficult for the Villagers to allow the natural process of investigation to take place so we can get to the truth about how the Bush Administration used torture? Peter King uses the usual conservative talking point that says we hate America if we want to find the root cause for this moral cancer in the beltway. King attacks the ACLU as America-haters when all they are doing is righting a terrible wrong that was let loose by Bush and Cheney.

Hey, I robbed a store, pistol-whipped the cashier and abused a female customer. As a few years have gone by since then, I realize now that I shouldn't do that anymore. Do you think the police, the store, cashier or woman will just let bygones be bygones? Would Peter King?

Done.

I'm now a professional rip 'n read left wing hack. I don't do any research or invite an opposing view. Ahhh, the life of a professional!

write (spell checker doesn't work for idiots LOL)

And the #1 story everyone will be talking about tomorrow:

Hersh Accuses Cheney of Ordering the Hit on Bhutto
By Philip Klein on 5.18.09 @ 6:08PM

The Pakistani newspaper the Nation reports that:

Former prime minister of Pakistan Benazir Bhutto was assassinated on the orders of the special death squad formed by former US vice-president Dick Cheney, which had already killed the Lebanese Prime Minister Rafique Al Hariri and the army chief of that country."

The squad was headed by General Stanley McChrystal, the newly-appointed commander of US army in Afghanistan. It was disclosed by reputed US journalist Seymour Hersh while talking to an Arab TV in an interview.

"People watch Fox for the same reason they watch Daytime Drama (insult name: Soap Operas) or pro wrestling....."

Well Dopey, if you want to go the pro wrestling route. Judging by Friday's numbers and all of last week I'd say you've got the equivalent of a 'good forking' by 'Abdullah The Butcher'.
