He's finally coming back from two weeks of reporting in the field. The baseball field, that is. And he's already stirring up the Kossacks with a promise of a 14-minute Special Education Komment about healthcare, and a vague, amorphous 'surprise' concerning the so-called MSNBC/FNC truce.
What do you think the infamous, deplorable one has in mind? Will he launch another Howard Beale tirade at the eeevil O'Reilly? Start an extra-early campaign to prevent Mr Bill from speaking at Alexa next year? Or will he bow to his corporate masters and downplay his greatest Olbsession? Post your predictions right here, then use this thread to recap tonight's Hour of Spin. Comments are open!
1.Olby will move on from O'Reilly to Glenn Beck. Anyone who calls the President names needs a good dressing down from Ol 'WTF.
2. Olby will be noticably fatter, and at the same time he will congratulate Rush Limbaugh on his amazing weight loss.
3. He will retire the 'Bouncing Limbaugh' screen graphic, he will announce the new 'Green Chair Fat Olbermann' screen graphic for upcoming 'Speshul Komment's.'
He's going to probably say as long as Fox tones it down he will but he won't forgive BOR, or something to that extent, but either way, it's going to be interesting to see what he brings up on this special comment tonight.
14 minutes? man, can JL be red-faced that long without passing out?
He's gotta pull something. He's been away for two weeks, his ratings have gone even deeper into the crapper with inept fill-ins.
It will be something, but I don't care I'm heading for NY State tonight.
Now as a sidenote, it seems MSNBC likes taking people off the scrapheep, another supposed 'NEXT BIG PERSONALITY' at ESPN that was suddenly not tendered a new contract. Is now the NEW contributing commentator on race.
From Phil Mushnick at the New York Post.......
"MSNBC must have had an opening for a race-based provocateur with zero credibility, a thorough disregard for facts and an extensive record for prefacing windy spiels with bad guesswork, because it has hired Stephen A. Smith as a contributing commentator on race. By the way, why is racial profiling condemned as abhorrent in crime prevention and crime investigations, but considered an essential part of jury selection in the process that adjudicates the accused?"
http://www.nypost.com/seven/08022009/sports/moresports/mlbs_dirt_a_selig_fehr_production_182632.htm?page=2
Of all people, they hire this guy?
Look for Stephen A. Smith to get the 10PM slot at MSNBC in the fall.
I'm pretty sure those 14 minutes will include his tease's for it early on in the show. " coming up later, My Spechal Komment on blah blah blah blah "
Will he tell someone to "grow up" "shut up" " or come out of a room bruised "? He has a lot on his plate. But one things for sure I expect some Sarah Palin news " You know, the chick who almost worked at ESPN and could have been the seduced by KO in the early 90's"
I'm sure that's KO's reason for his olbysession with her.
Olby will bash Fox News, Limbaugh, Palin, Tea party protesters, BOR, Beck, ect., ect., ect. There will be nothing "new" or "special".
Health Care. He will criticize Republicans for not caring about poor people while all the time distorting the facts and, in my opinion, flat out lie to his viewers. Then he will call Beck a racist and demand his resignation and/or firing.
I don't know if he'll chime in on the Crowley/Gates incident but if he does my guess is he will bring up 100 years of racial incidents in America, slavery and racial profiling...all of which have absolutely nothing to do with the Gates arrest.
Put it this way...he will DEFLECT FROM THE REAL ISSUES, place blame on Conservatives and not mention Obama's record deficit spending, unemployment figures or how the Chosen One's poll numbers are falling.
I personally will not watch one second of the show. I will have to rely on your comments and MAYBE watch some video of it later so I can mute the sound.
BREAKING....Yikes....Olby caught shirtless with big-time farmers tan:
http://tinyurl.com/kpxcpr
I'm inclined to agree with Brad.
And Keith isn't the only one to be gone for two weeks. I took a break from commenting at OlbyWatch, but I'm back now. I did, however, participate in that poll. No fill-in is as bad as Merkle, the ultimate bonehead.
ObserverDan,
Great photo and excellent photo shop skills...LOL.
Had a good 'belly' laugh there ObserverDan!
In his tease of the Special Komment he told some politician to, "Prepare to be called-out, sir!" Hope that congressman is not one of the last 17 people that watch Olbermann, because he'd be shaking in fear.
Whoops! Jimmy Legs did indeed change his tune and began attacking BOR again, using the Ted Baxter voice. He is able to do this because, he said, "This isn't the Constitution, it's a half-baked news program."
Forgetting, of course, that it's perfectly fine to change the Constitution; we've already done so dozens of times with these things called Amendments.
Truce? WHAT TRUCE?
Keithy-poo had just taken that truce and stuck it where the sun don't shine.
So WPitW was a triple play of critic writing about the MSNBC/FNC 'truce', the return of a "Bill-0 the clown" quote from two years ago, and to complete the Trifecta... RUPERT MURDOCH for supposedly "muffling" O'Reilly.
EPIC! One day back and he's in douchebag form.
Do they keep having to move the shot every five seconds?
Just as most of thought, NO TRUCE. It's obvious, slobberman is going down swingin. He no longer cares about his sinking ratings so it's balls out. The guy has no backbone. I say to Bill O. take the gloves off and come out swingin and knock this asshole down and don't let him up. Put Glenn Beck in there also and let Glenn cut loose with some of his awsome rants about ole fat one. People from the TEA PARTIES need to go to 30 rock outside of fatasses studio and boycott his show in masses with signs and lots of loud voices. It's time to wipe ole Olbermann off the tv's of America. Olby is soooo much in the tank for OsamaObama that it is now time to shut this guy up once and for all. Once slobbermann is gone, let's go after Chris Mathews who is another total wack job for OsamaObama. That's right, i'm pissed that these 2 idiots from the left along with ALL of the guest hosts from these 2 shows get away with their agenda. It's time to call them ALL out.
I caught the WPITW segment where he gave the silver to the NYT guy who wrote about the MSNBC/FOX truce (apparently, this story was BS,) But the gold went to Rupurt Murdoch for agreeing to the "truce" (which wasn't BS since it fit his biased opinion.) Only a moron wouldn't see the contradiction here.
SoCal, let's not forget about Ed (even though the test pattern gets better ratings) and Rachel. They need to get it up their tailpipes too.
I have been floored by the news that Oralmann went right back to attacking the good guys, including his Olbsession. While his "quarantine" is over, mine will continue. I can't work myself into watching any O'Reilly, Fox, or News Corp. attacks, or anything else associated with the Hour of Spin, which I only do for recapping purposes and to pinpoint which blue blog post was his source for a given attack. I don't even know if I can read the transcripts, but I might do that. I'll see how I feel.
Thank you to those that take time out of your evening to watch and recap. Painful as it is, you are doing a huge service.
I've been reading this blog forever, and I have to tell you - I admire any Conservative that can watch this nozzle for more than 90 seconds. It is brutal! I suffer through it just so I can more readily enjoy everyone's (except Mike H's) comments, but watching him is just a kick in the testes.
"1.Olby will move on from O'Reilly to Glenn Beck. Anyone who calls the President names needs a good dressing down from Ol 'WTF."
Wow, Dan, that cracked me up! I can't stop giggling.

Just caught the tail end of the Speshul Komment. The corpulent one who now apparently has at least 50 lbs on the svelte Rush actually stated that the polls show widespread support for Obamacare. Uhhh..OK. And he actually threatened the Blue Dogs that he and other progressives would come after them in the next election and they would lose their jobs. But Keithy, if these Democrats lose an election, won't that necessarily mean that the winner would be Republican? Have at it Bathtub Boy.
Go ahead everyone, we have some great power here. Pass it around to your friends that TEA PARTY, for them in New York to go to 30 rock and call olby out once and for all. The worst thing that could happen is for his ratings to go up ( 1 days worth ). I can see it now with pictures of ole fat ass sitting in that green chair on the porch, belly hangin out over the sides, laptop in lap, Olbermann watch on the screen, this is priceless.
I quote the late Vince Lombardi, in response to tonight's Special Comment: "What the hell was that?"
My God, you thought Moses came down from the mountain top this evening to deliver some kind of manesfesto. That was just horrible on every level. Stating the "truce" was something that never happened to basically saying that the republican party is owned by the health insurance industry.
Excuse me Mr. Olberman, have you SEEN Sen. Kennedy? He's a freakin ass LUSH! Period! He killed a girl back in '68 and due to his name got out of it, so you know what? Who cares about him and most importantly SIR, who cares about YOU.
I would end this by saying "Good night and good luck" but I don't want you to have any luck.
Did his Special ED Comment really last 14 minutes? If so, and I'm being totally sincere, if anyone here watched the entire thing from beginning to end without muting the sound or turning the channel for a few seconds...you have earn my respect for a lifetime no matter what you do in the future. Anyone, I mean, A-N-Y-O-N-E, who could sit there for 14 minutes watching and listening to Keith Olbermann...I'm speechless. It takes a lot of intestinal fortitude to watch that turd for 14 seconds let alone 14 minutes.
It all comes down to ole fat asses double standards about who can call names and when. It was alright for Olbermahn to tell Bush to shut the hell up, but anyone else to call OsamaObama a liar?
Olbermahn and Bill Press.... 2 of a kind.
The onset of the Bush speshul komments are what saved Countdown. Now Keith tries to revive that mojo with a health care rant. This was by far his worst performance. Keith has no talent. Keith's product is stale and dull so we get another special comment full of Keith's whimpering and indiganation -- stale and dull as dishwater.
Keith makes a blunder of epic proportions. He mentions Sandy Barms of Arkansas and that she is hoping her heart valves hold together until she qualifies for medicaid (did he mean medicare?). He says Sandy must have the public health insurance option because she can not get coverage due to her existing medical issues. Oops! If Keith would have done 30 seconds of research he would know that Arkansas has a Comprehensive Health Insurance Pool (CHIP) that she can buy health insurance from with her pre existing heart condition. A female non smoker aged 60 can get coverage for about $482 per month -- including coverage for her faulty heart valves. Keith passionately proclaims that Sandy needs the public option. Oops, she can already get health insurance! Pay attentiion next time, Keith. I feel like I am back in high school having to explain everything to the guy who fell asleep in the back of the room.
ENOUGH!
I agree, Brad, except that calling Olbernozzle a "turd" is a bit unfair....to turds.
The better Special Comment was Steve Somers' monologue moments ago on WFAN-AM.
If so, and I'm being totally sincere, if anyone here watched the entire thing from beginning to end without muting the sound or turning the channel for a few seconds...you have earn my respect for a lifetime no matter what you do in the future...brad
I just finished watching an old TV movie "Helter Skelter" about Charles Manson, and it really struck me to how much Manson's groupies reminded me of the ape ruler's followers. They walked and talked like zombies without a clue in the world to what was real and to what wasn't. No difference at all with olbermann's present day bug eating losers, and the thought of them scurrying to the tv fighting for position to get the best view of their ruler, was no different then when Manson's followers would fight to read the latest on Manson's antics in court.
I wonder how Dr. Zaius feels, knowing that the closest comparison he's ever gotten to anybody noteworthy is to a sick psycho serial killer?
Brad says it all above, and yet there ARE actually people out there that did watch the whole 14 minutes, and not just to report on the hypocrisy of it all, but because they TRULY lived and died with every word that he spit out of his lying mouth. Zombies and ape followers then...and now. Sick man. Truly a sick world. I have to agree for the first time in my life with Bill Maher. America IS a stupid country.
Via the OlbyFlood, Brad Wilmouth of NewsBusters recaps Olbermoronn's explosion of attacks earlier tonight.
Worser blue blog source: Ellen and the Newshounds. This is the company Olby likes to associate with. Based on Wilmouth's transcript, Keith proved once again why we call him Rip 'n Read.
Ellen wrote: "On last night’s (7/30/09), Factor, Bill O’Reilly didn’t quite remember his trip to the Harlem restaurant, Sylvia’s, the way he remembered it two years ago, right after he ate there. With video.
While discussing the role of race in – what else? – the Henry Gates arrest, O’Reilly complained about too many subjects having racial overtones. “Remember when I went up to Sylvia’s?” O’Reilly said to guest, Geraldo Rivera. “…And said, on my radio show, ‘You know, Sylvia’s is just like any other restaurant in America. It’s a nice place with nice people, I got served great,’ and then the left-wing turned it into I was denigrating, saying, ‘Oh, he didn’t think Sylvia’s was gonna be nice.’ …Vile, out of context piece of garbage.”
Actually, that’s not quite what O’Reilly said at the time. In September, 2007, News Hound chrish noted that O’Reilly said, “I couldn't get over the fact that there was no difference between Sylvia's restaurant and any other restaurant in New York City. I mean it was -- it was exactly the same, even though it's run by blacks, primarily black patronship; it was the same. And that's really what this society is all about, now... There wasn't one person in Sylvia's who was screaming, 'M-Fer, I want more iced tea.' You know, I mean, everybody was -- it was like going into an Italian restaurant in an all-white suburb in the sense of people were sitting there, and they were ordering and having fun. And there wasn't any kind of craziness at all.""
Keith said: "So, tonight’s runner up, Bill-O the Clown [Ding!]. After the arrest of Professor Gates, the Frank Burns of news [Ding!] went back to his excursion two years ago to meet some black people. (Ted Baxter voice): "Remember when I went up to Sylvia's and had dinner with Al Sharpton and said on my radio show, you know, Sylvia’s is just like any other restaurant in America, it's a nice place with nice people. I got served great. And then, the left wing turned it into ‘I was denigrating,’ saying, oh, he didn't think Sylvia's was going to be nice."
(normal): Yeah, that's not what you said. Bill-O [Ding!], on September 19, 2007: (Baxter): "I couldn't get over the fact that there was no difference between Sylvia's restaurant and any other restaurant in New York City. I mean, it was, it was exactly the same, even though it's run by blacks. Primarily black patronship. It was the same. And that's really what this society is all about now. There wasn't one person in Sylvia's who was screaming, ‘M-F-er, I want more iced tea.’ You know, I mean, everybody was, it was like going into an Italian restaurant in an all-white suburb in the sense [of] people were sitting there and they were ordering and having fun, and there wasn't any kind of craziness at all."
(normal): Bill thought there might be a human sacrifice between the salad and the entree. Racist clown. Imagine dinner chez Bill-O: (Baxter): "I’m happily surprised you haven’t stabbed me with the steak knife, dear.""
Why did all those writers have to open their big mouths about that damn "truce"? Look what you all unleashed. Now, we have to put up with this crap again.
I guess Olby doesn't live in a glass house because every window would be broken.
"Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles at its finest."
Or
"This as her husband watched the game in New Mexico with the former Governor Bill Richardson, possibly asking Richardson for an endorsement and then would you please pass the guacamole."
If KO is such a big supporter of Obama care will he leave the great health care plan he has at MSNBC and use it or will he be like most of the supporters of OC and keep their own but force the rest of us to use it. New Murrow indeed.

Thanks Mike.
So, according to the liars Obama and Olbermann, the concerns citizens are bringing to townhall meetings are not legit and only represent a small minority being manipulated by the insurance companies, big pharma and the EVIL right wingers?......
"American voters, by a 55 - 35 percent margin, are more worried that Congress will spend too much money and add to the deficit than it will not act to overhaul the health care system, according to a Quinnipiac University national poll released today.
"By a similar 57 - 37 percent margin, voters say health care reform should be dropped if it adds 'significantly' to the deficit.
"By a 72 - 21 percent margin, voters do not believe that President Barack Obama will keep his promise to overhaul the health care system without adding to the deficit, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University national poll finds.
"American voters disapprove 52 - 39 percent of the way President Obama is handling health care, down from 46 - 42 percent approval July 1, with 60 - 34 percent disapproval from independent voters. Voters say 59 - 36 percent that Congress should not pass health care reform if only Democratic members support it."

Olbermann and his leftwing friends should stop lying about what the majority of the American people really want.....They do not want what the democrats are proposing and a good debate should be encouraged to restart the process and allow common sense solutions for our healthcare problems....
Alas, the left's special interests do not want such compromise.
