    Olbermann Watch, "persecuting" Keith since 2004


    August 27, 2009
    Countdown: Thursday Recappers Thread
    Bathtub Boy

    It's a rotten job but somebody has to do it. Use this thread to recap tonight's Hour of Spin. You know the show with the "news anchor" who lies about his ratings. Hey Olby, when it comes to Nielsen numbers, size does matter, something Katy has also explained to you by now. Comments are open!

    Let me be the first to say, "Ew!"

    However graphic, it is a very funny and accurate metaphor for what Olbermann and his buddies have become over on MSNBC. Good job to the creator.

    Some alliteration is called for.....

    Cankles the clown continues his crummy, comedic and casuistic commentaries on his contemptible and counterfeit "news program" called COUNTDOWN.

    Wait! Glenn? 3 Million? With Limbaugh as his guest?

    They were supposed to be 'Worm Food' by now according to the great Olby.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCAkSCAD50Q

    Countin' them chickens again eh?

    Kharma.

    It's a bitch ain't it Keith?

    Ole racist"chicken and waffles" Olbermann just kissed corrupt, race-baiting Maxine Water's ass. He mentioned being embarassesed about being a white person because of all the hate and racism he's heard the past 7 months.

    What a pussy.

    I'm ashamed that Olby is human.

    He is not human. He is in the same category as Garafalo...SUB-HUMANS.

    Gee, guess who made two of the three worst persons.

    This is pure Air America stuff, but I think Randi Rhoades could do a better job.

    http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3036677/

    I heard only two people laughing off camera during this. Which somes up Olby's viewers at this point.

    Oh, the third guy has something to do with the guy at the town hall meeting who called himself a right wing terrorist. Except Olby said that video has just been uncovered. Funny I remember seeing this last week.

    OH! Maybe a video from a certain well known 'Chop Shop, Video site has been sent over to 'Countdown'.

    Worse was Another O'Reilly Attack, Worser was Another Beck Attack, and Worst was Another Republican Congressman Attack.

    Johhny, you used a very sharp knife to cut KO down to the little twerp he is tonight.

    Ce, that is the longest string of alliteration I've ever seen. Good job!

    Here is Olby's comments about BOR in the WPITW segment:

    BOR stated, "Tuesday night on MSNBC, someone said that people who watch Fox News are paranoid and racist. That should tell you everything you need to know about the entire NBC situation. Pinhead does not even begin to cover it."

    Olby states, "That would've been me. I said that." Then he goes on to quote his own statement he made Tuesday night adding, "Mr. O'Reilly is upset and he has a right to be upset...I'd like to apologize, I left out loons...and pinheads".

    Just some observations:

    1) Did you notice Keith did not quote BOR about how he LIED ABOUT HIS RATINGS?

    2) Once again, Olby had to stroke his own ego by saying, "That would be me. I said that". Why else would you bring it up if it wasn't about you, Keith? We all know you are the center of the universe and the world revolves around you.

    3) Mr. O'Reilly is upset??? Hmmm, he seemed very calm to me and was just pointing out that you LIED ABOUT YOUR RATINGS. Cankles is the one that is upset and jealous of BOR and Fox News. It eats him up that even Fox and Friends in the morning beats his show in prime time and that it is co-anchored by a WOMAN.

    Keep digging your grave Olby. You are alienating millions of viewers that might (but I seriously doubt it) switch to MSNBC but that thought is completely out the window with YOUR RACIST AND STEREOTYPICAL COMMENTS.

    By the way Keith, keep hammering away at Glenn Beck. He had a huge Wednesday night, pulling in 3.04 million total viewers and besting BOR in the 25-54 demo.

    What were your numbers again?


    If that's what happened, then I'm glad I didn't click on the video on the "Countdown" page. It would have been very frustrating, as usual.

    Oh, see MikeC.....SOMEONE returned to his immature, shallow, self-absorbed and intellectually dishonest ways only 24 hours after looking like a thoughtful adult....SOMEONE could not resist responding to an accurate take-down of something he said three days ago that was ridiculous and hateful.....SOMEONE is a putz.

    I like O'Reilly's current name for Cankles the clown....SOMEONE is a fitting name for someone who is acting like he is, with the ego on full display, despite the reality he has no business believing the hype.

    Since I did not see any of the church of SNOBamessiah revival hour, I will have to check out some of the video to see if SOMEONE's ensemble still reflected the deep, deep mourning he is experiencing with the passing of Senator Kennedy.

    VERO POSSUMUS! Wee weed?

    He's embarrassingly uncouth
    Crude rants getting long in the tooth
    His culture of hating
    Reflected in rating
    All his friends are in a phone booth

    An ABSOLUTE muted mongrel tonight on COUTNDOWN....let alone every other media outlet currently in blind reverance mode regarding the passing of Senator Kennedy:

    "One of his favorite topics of humor was indeed Chappaquiddick itself"

    "As long as we’re on the subject of humor this morning, what kind of jokes did the late Ted Kennedy like to tell his closest friends? One of Kennedy’s close friends, former editor of Newsweek and New York Times Magazine Ed Klein, tells the Diane Rehm Show that Chappaquiddick jokes were high up on the list.....

    "I don’t know if you know this or not, but one of his favorite topics of humor was indeed Chappaquiddick itself. And he would ask people, 'have you heard any new jokes about Chappaquiddick?' That is just the most amazing thing. It’s not that he didn’t feel remorse about the death of Mary Jo Kopechne, but that he still always saw the other side of everything and the ridiculous side of things, too."

    http://hotair.com/archives/2009/08/28/one-of-his-favorite-topics-of-humor-was-indeed-chappaquiddick-itself/


    ###
    Again, imagine if this was anyone right of Hillary Clinton.....Keith Olbermann would be very indignant at the insensitivity and callous disregard for our fellow human beings....the person would be labeled a monster and dismissed.

    But with Kennedy, we are to be the rational, open-minded observers of a life's work and excuse, if not totally ignore, the frank blemishes that normally marginalize a person.....But the left's political elite?.....there are different rules.

    Hypocrisy continues on in the media...and COUTNDOWN is head of the pack.

    VERO POSSUMUS! Wee weed?

    Poor, dense Cankles the clown....In WPitW last night, he was still angry with Congressman Herger for not condemning his constituent's speech, even saying that Herger violated his oath of office and needed to show due deference to "law and order."

    Oh my. This site is just chock full of documentation showing Cankles Keith O throwing around the term "terrorist" in describing his political bogeymen, and Cankles was not being SARCASTIC in those examples like the town hall speaker was obviously being....IN DESCRIBING WHAT THE LEFT HAS CLAIMED HE IS!

    So, in WPitW last night, we have hypocrisy AND faux outrage....a twofer from the stupid one. The left has tarred the opposition with the taint of being "terrorists," and "evil." The left's own polticial class, like Obama, Reid and Pelosi, have gone down the road of such labels....They own it and Olbermann cannot change the facts.

    This is Obama's America now....racists, terrorists, pinheads, loons, you name them....those who stand in opposition to the agenda of the leftist elite have been labeled.

    Wonderful.

    VERO POSSUMUS! Wee weed?

    Cankles Keith O LOST to both Nancy Grace and Campbell Brown in the demo last night...and came in third place for total viewers.

    http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/ratings/the_scoreboard_thursday_august_27_129730.asp

    Loser.

    Those ratings probably had nothing to do with him insulting every person in the country the past two nights.

    A typical? Olbermann, Maddow, and Matthews fan?

    Get to 5:45 as fast as you can.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7_2lCqQQnY

    Hey! Keith is dysfunctional, so why should this be a surprise?

    From the Associated Press:

    KABUL – An American service member died Friday when his vehicle struck a bomb in eastern Afghanistan, making August the deadliest month for U.S. forces in the nearly eight-year war.

    Where is Keith Olbermann? I guess he is too busy smearing the CIA.

    What a piece of work. How does this LOON sleep at night?

    The following piece was linked over at J$'s place, then pulled and now posted at another site. I think it is an excellent critique of the poor form we all saw from Olbermann this week regarding O'Reilly. It should be part of OW's records covering the continuing hate speech of Cankles Keith O.....

    "Due to popular demand, I have re-posted this Keith Olbermann rant over here, a blog for which I am admin. for. The reason for the deletion of the post was because the admin. for The O Files is a Keith Olbermann fan and was not happy. That admin. deleted it, not me. The rant is now here to stay for good.

    [...]

    "'In his nightly round of self-applause last night, designed to drown out the echo of daddy hitting him…' - Keith Olbermann about Bill O'Reilly

    "What the f*** Olbermann, you fat, arrogant, snide, obnoxious, Bill O'Reilly-Fox News obsessed douche bag? At what point is enough enough? It's not the criticizing of another TV personality or company that's the problem, like it or not it is part of the business and I'm fine with it, it's the lengths that he goes to do it. First of all, is it really necessary to correct O'Reilly for saying 'Double-A' instead of 'Triple-A'. For all we know, he could have meant to say 'Triple-A' and 'Double-A' inadvertently came out instead. But when you start it out by joking about a matter that is so serious (child abuse), you crossed the line with me and I have absolutely had it with him. It's wrong, it's DAMN WRONG! You don't make that kind of reference, no matter how much you can't stand someone. And the sad part is, there is not a damn person at MSNBC willing to do something about it. If MSNBC wants to go liberal, that's fine, but bring in a credible liberal to host the 8 PM show. There's Rachel Maddow, who is a much better alternative to those that a fan of Fox News. She has people on her show that she disagrees with (something Olbermann never does), is actually funny (Keith Olbermann's schtick has gotten so old with me that I just can't laugh at anything he says), and is an all-round better program for a liberal like me to enjoy.

    "I have morals and values that I am proud of and I feel as if I can no longer keep them by being affiliated, even in the smallest way possible with this phony Edward R. Murrow wanna-be and The O Files blog that is filled with Bush Administration comparisons to the Nazi Administration that are downright wrong, not funny, insulting, and unwarranted. I don't believe that Bush was a great president at all (I strongly disliked him), but that comparison is wrong. I know you probably think that I have zero credibility, JC, because I bash Olbermann so much nowadays and strongly disagree with your views on Vick, but you have to believe me when I say that by comparing Bush to the Hitler and the Nazis, you only make yourself look like a fool. Even when I was an Olbermann fanboy when you first started this thing, I did not think those were warranted and not once did I laugh at them. And if my future employers ever find out about any affiliation I have with them, I may not get a job.

    "Oh, and as far as that mysterious under 35 demo (a demo only brought up by Olbermann), it turns out that Keith Olbermann completely lied about it. He even loses to FNC in that demo! From Mediaite

    "'Well besides the fact that '35 and younger' isn’t exactly a usual demographic, according to Nielsen, this doesn’t appear to be accurate. The lowest age level would be the 18-34 demo, which O’Reilly still beat Olbermann in during July (140,000 to 124,000). The FNC host is winning by that same percentage in August so far.'

    "The sad part is that that lie is about as unsurprising as a Washington Nationals loss and/or a New York Mets injury this year.

    "Fire Keith Olbermann Now!"

    http://fireandyreidnow.blogspot.com/2009/08/fire-keith-olbermann-now.html


    ###
    I could not agree more. I am glad the author was able to repost the above because it is a good piece from someone who was once an Olbermann "fan boy."

    MSNBC should fire Olbermann and put Maddow in his time slot. I believe their ratings would not do any worse, and may even improve with the shake-up as some people give the netowrk another try after the repetative hate speech was rightfully removed.

    I am no fan of Maddow, especially after her obsession with "tea-bagging," (uh, uh, uh....they said "tea bag!" uh, ha, uh, ha, TEA BAG!). She is borderline blind with hatred of conservatism but at least is not obsessed with personalities like O'Reilly and Beck. She also allows dissenting voices on her show.

    Anyway, MSNBC, NBC NEWS and GE have a real mess on their hands with a leftist partisan shill willing to joke about child abuse. What a crying shame!

    VERO POSSUMUS! Wee weed?

    Having never read an O'Reilly biography, I don't know. Has he alluded to being a product of an abusive father? It would'nt surprise me if Olbermann just made it up out of whole cloth, the creep.

    Mike C, you could probably give me the definitive answer to my above question, thanks.

    What is that I see?....Another cynical, anti-America leftist narrative spouted by the shill, Cankles Keith O, seeing the light of facts and melting away?.......

    "These scenes provide previously unpublicized details about the transformation of the man known to U.S. officials as KSM from an avowed and truculent enemy of the United States into what the CIA called its 'preeminent source' on al-Qaeda. This reversal occurred after Mohammed was subjected to simulated drowning and prolonged sleep deprivation, among other harsh interrogation techniques.

    [...]

    "Over a few weeks, he was subjected to an escalating series of coercive methods, culminating in 7 1/2 days of sleep deprivation, while diapered and shackled, and 183 instances of waterboarding. After the month-long torment, he was never waterboarded again.

    "'What do you think changed KSM’s mind?' one former senior intelligence official said this week after being asked about the effect of waterboarding. 'Of course it began with that.'

    [...]

    "One former U.S. official with detailed knowledge of how the interrogations were carried out said Mohammed, like several other detainees, seemed to have decided that it was okay to stop resisting after he had endured a certain amount of pressure.

    "'Once the harsher techniques were used on [detainees], they could be viewed as having done their duty to Islam or their cause, and their religious principles would ask no more of them,' said the former official, who requested anonymity because the events are still classified. 'After that point, they became compliant. Obviously, there was also an interest in being able to later say, 'I was tortured into cooperating.''"

    I recall Cankles the clown spitting out the old leftist canard that EIT's do not work and the information such techniques gets is false.....The report clearly contradicts his claim.

    And thousands of innocent Americans likely have the patriotic professionals who conducted such activities to thank for their lives and limbs....perhaps even elitist liberal Manhattan chubby metrosexuals like Olbermann!

    Ah, but now the wonderfully myopic AG the one selected has decided to prosecute those same brave professionals. The church of SNOBamessiah cannot let a political asset go even in the face of truth and rightousness.

    You see, the anti-America left must be placated in these times of failure over national single-payer healthcare reform and cap & tax. The base must be fed its pound of blood dripping flesh in their never satiated hatred.

    Nope, no correction or apology from Olbermann.....he is one of the haters, God bless 'em.

    VERO POSSUMUS! Wee weed?

    I watched MSNBC long enough today during the Ted Kennedy coverage to hear Keith ramble incoherently after what started off to be a question but then he just stumbled from one subject to another. Keith, you are just awful.

    ENOUGH! RESIGN!

    Bill's father was tough, but not abusive.

    Thanks Mike C.

    I read "Bold Fresh" and got the impression that his father was stern (mainly because O'Reilly was a troublemaker) but not an abusive jerk.

    Of course I never hear about Olbermann's father. What's up with him? Does Olbermann ever mention him?

    I sat down for dinner tonight and politely asked my father (who was watching MSNBC) to change the channel as soon as I heard Olbermann's voice. My mother was like "what's the big deal" and I said I didn't want to hear about how Sen Kennedy was a longtime friend and big Countdown fan, nor how it's the Republicans fault that there won't ever be anyone who will "reach across the aisle" like Sen. Kennedy.

    Was he doing any of that stuff, the same stuff he did with Tim Russert and every other famous person who dies?

    I don't know. I watched FNC from 7:00 to 8:27 (when coverage ended).

    Hell, I'm surprised MSNBC took the time to actually cover the funeral.

    Apparently, according to TVNewser, he did do that:
    "Keith Olbermann reflected:
    "We don't have royalty, this is the closest thing we have to it. We somehow psychologically dally with the idea, but it's more than that. That would mean a certain connection and familiarity with people from generation to generation and brother to brother. But an affection seems to be built on...that public vulnerability. It's as much the tragedies, the failures as...the story of redemption in Senator Kennedy's life, that I think threads throughout the family and has been expressed again today. That's the bind between people and a group of politicians...The benefit of the doubt, when they don't always live up to the expectation, is, I think, based on the willingness to say, 'Here are my problems. maybe you have problems too. While I'm working on mine, I'm also working on yours.'""

    I only saw the part at Arlington National. Even though it was visually impossible to see as it got darker, it was quite moving. I felt for his granddaughters as they struggled through their remembrances.

    From Noel Sheppard at Newsbusters:

    For the second night in a row, Fox News's Glenn Beck attracted the most cable news viewers in the all important demographic of folks aged 25 to 54.

    As for MSNBC's Keith Olberman who arrogantly and errantly bragged Tuesday about having "the highest rated cable news program, period," he came in third in his time slot Thursday actually attracting fewer viewers than CNN's Campbell Brown.

    Though airing at different times, Olbermann also got beaten by CNN's Larry King and Anderson Cooper.

    I'm sure in his crazy world, and that of those who watch him, he's still number one.

    For your entertainment pleasure, here are Thursday's rankings (h/t TVbytheNumbers.com):

    1. The O’Reilly Factor– 2,896,000 viewers (757,000) (1,281,000)
    2. Glenn Beck– 2,544,000 viewers (762,000) (1,275,000)
    3. Hannity –2,402,000 viewers (691,000) (1,113,000)
    4. On The Record w/ Greta Van Susteren—2,330,000 viewers (623,000) (1,011,000)
    5. Special Report with Bret Baier– 1,906,000 viewers (446,000) (860,000)
    6. Fox Report w/Shep Smith–1,697,000 viewers (418,000) (743,000)
    7. Larry King Live—1,464,000 viewers (378,000) (623,000)
    8. Anderson Cooper 360—1,280,000 viewers (343,000) (555,000)
    9. Campbell Brown- 1,243,000 viewers (337,000) (414,000)
    10. Countdown w/ K. Olbermann– 1,199,000 viewers (276,000) (614,000)

    Here are the demo rankings:

    1. Glenn Beck -- 762,000
    2. The O’Reilly Factor– 757,000
    3. Hannity –691,000
    4. On The Record w/ Greta Van Susteren—623,000
    5. Special Report with Bret Baier– 446,000
    6. Fox Report w/Shep Smith–418,000
    7. Larry King Live—378,000
    8. FOX & Friends- 357,000
    9. Nancy Grace – 347,000
    10. Anderson Cooper 360—343,000
    11. Campbell Brown- 337,000
    12. Rachel Maddow Show—279,000
    13. Countdown w/ K. Olbermann– 276,000

    Wow. 10th in total viewers and 13th in the demo.

    How will Cankles spin this blow to his ego? I know..."This is the highest rated show in total viewers who are left handed, have green eyes and drive 4 door vehicles." - Keith Olbermann

    As Glen Beck would say " He's using facts "

    In the Olbyverse facts are anything Olbermann comes up with 3 minutes before his news show starts.

    Start Each Day Positively

    How to start each day with a positive outlook:

    1. Open a new file in your computer.

    2. Name it 'Barack Obama'.

    3. Send it to the Recycle Bin.

    4. Empty the Recycle Bin.

    5. Your PC will ask you: "Do you really want to get rid of 'Barack
    Obama?"

    6. Firmly Click 'Yes.'

    7. Feel better? GOOD! - Tomorrow we'll do Nancy Pelosi

    Just so we're clear yeah, the above link seems like nitpicking but remember when Bill O was WPITW for that stuff with Nixon and China? Where he was lambasted by Newshounds and Media Matters for "changing history"? Where MikeH (somebody needs to write a spelling error ridden post mentioning God and the troops to get him out of his cave) came here and based a night's worth of trolling on that? One question:

    WHERE YOU ALL AT NOW?

    Cal, you need to package and sell your "Start Every Day Positively" instead of giving it away like that.

    I'm more positive today then I've been in years. It works wonders whether used on the high and mighty or the more mundane.

    A few pesky inlaws, MikeHeeHee, KO, Patsy, Bobo. Just great!

    CJ, just this very same week KO used the mistake BOR made with the Mud Hens Semi Pro League status to rant about child abuse of BOR by BOR, Sr. and to call FNC viewers such things as racists, tin foil wearers, terrorists etc. Surely, with this MO his every utterance is fair game for a complete anal exam by a big guy with a huge hangnail.

    You know, I've also been wondering where MikeHeeHee has been lately. He could be sent into a frenzy of disgust, anger and disapproval just over Rummy saying that some opponents of the Iraq War had not learned the painful lesson of Neville Chamberlain and "peace in out time".

    I thought for sure now that the political scence is buried under accusations of critics of Obamacare as unruly mobs, schwasticker wearers, potential assassins, terrorists etc he would be here taking a principled stand against even worst behavior from his side of the aisle.

    I would hate to think that MikeHeeHee was just paying politics all along and was only concerned if GWB et al claimed a power that he has tingling down his leg at the mere thought of BHO grabbing every authority and power that is not nailed down tight.

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

    You all got it wrong. Keith is Number 1 among hermaphrodites, beastiality lovers, and bed wetters. So in this respect I totally agree with Keith. Wow I thought I would never agree with Keith. Keep preaching the "truth" as you see it through those beety little ferrite eyes. Keep up the "news" as you see it in that little chick pea brain of yours.

    P.S. Keith you are a delusional, clown lover, idiot!!!!!!

    Sorry, forgot to post this new picture I did.

    I wonder how much, if any, attention this will get on countdown to no ratings. Since Olbermahn got it 100% wrong.

    Ridge backpedals on pressure to raise terror alert level

    By Mimi Hall, USA TODAY
    WASHINGTON — Former Homeland Security secretary Tom Ridge, speaking for the first time about accusations made in his new book, says he did not mean to suggest that other top Bush administration officials were playing politics with the nation's security before the 2004 presidential election.

    http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2009-08-30-tom-ridge_N.htm

    Casualty reports or other bad news from Iraq and Afghanistan.....bad economic news like the poor unemployment statistics as of late....polls showing Obama's tanking public support....ALL always muted mongrels on COUNTDOWN now that Olbermann is a shill for the lefist ruling class in Washington DC.....

    I am sure Cankles Keith O will fail to report on this little gem....

    "The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that 30% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-one percent (41%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -11.

    "Overall, 46% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President’s performance. That’s the lowest level of total approval yet measured for Obama. Fifty-three percent (53%) now disapprove.

    "Eighty-one percent (81%) of Democrats approve while 83% of Republicans disapprove. As for those not affiliated with either major party, 66% disapprove."

    Oh my, when it was Bush, Olbermann was all over such stats as proof of failure, fascism and foolishness on the part of the chief executive....Now?....The "journalist" cannot hold himself back to keep giving the same bad advice to the one....push the radical anti-America leftist agenda EVEN HARDER, oh great one!

    VERO POSSUMUS! Wee weed?

    h8olby, the pic is gone.
    \

    Oh, and how did I forget another consistant muted mongrel on the church of SNOBamessiah revival hour, better known as COUNTDOWN....Overlooking the one's broken promises....like this likely one.....

    "Eager to show action on the ailing economy, President Barack Obama promised Monday to speed federal money into hundreds of public works projects this summer, vowing that 600,000 jobs will be created or saved."

    http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31165217/


    ###
    So, it is August 31st and the adminisration has yet to let us all know if that promise was kept....I wonder.

    600K jobs....are they there are not?

    VERO POSSUMUS! Wee weed?

    Nah, Fatso wouldn't dare discuss, let alone debate, issues such as unemployment, the economy, Obama's approval ratings, the deficit, the debt or the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Instead, he will focus on the real issue America is so concerned about....the CIA and Dick Cheney.

    Cankles has NOTHING else to talk about. The United States is going into the toilet and Olby is sitting in the bath tub trying to figure out how he can smear Fox News...journalism at it's finest.

    Guys let's be fair to Olbermann. The reason why he doesn't discuss the topics brad listed is because he's to stupid to understand the intricacies of them. If you don't understand something you shouldn't talk about it.

    Taking up the theme from COUNTDOWN last night, where Olbermann chronicled all the historical or other scholarly mistakes made by those on the right, I would like to point out a recent Obama gaffe not covered by the "journalist" Cankles Keith O.....

    "Washington Jewish Week and Politico tell us that Obama today reached out to about 1,000 Jewish leaders in his expanding campaign for health care reform. One of those on the call, Rabbi Jack Moline, tweeted through the call about what the president said. His Twitter page noted: Obama: 'shanah tovah to all of you.'

    "That's a reference to the Jewish new year, or Rosh Hashana, which starts at sundown September 18. It means 'Have a sweet new year.' An associate said that the president was just being polite with the rabbis, and spokesman Robert Gibbs said that Obama was invited by the rabbis to join in on the call 'as they get ready for their important holidays.'

    "But in September 2007, when Bush issued a holiday greeting a week early, he was roundly ridiculed for jumping the gun. The Washington Post said that there was 'quizzical reaction' from even Bush's friends.

    "A former Bushie who remembered the spat said: 'Strange. When GWB sent out Rosh Hashana greetings a few days early, he was mocked. Obama is an entire month too early, and no big whoop.'"

    Of course it is no big whoop because the one is such a superior intellectual and part of the elite ruling class. He can get all sorts of facts wrong, even lie about his own record, and the enamored media simply ignore or excuse such events....But the right?....they are stupid, evil and/or purposely being obtuse.

    Ah, gotta love hypocrisy.
