ROFLMAO!!! Ha!!! I love it. Around 2.5 million people (give or take a few hundred thousand) saw this and learned about bathtub boy. God bless John Gibson for calling out this pompous douchbag for what he really is, which is a sportscaster. I even liked the small shot at John Stewart but in reality it was probably more a compliment since he is a comedian being taken seriously. Regardless, John is right and Olbermann needs to be put back on meds or put on meds to begin with. He is one hair away from being in the looney bin eating crayons and pretending he's Edward R. Murrow. Oh wait, he already does the Murrow bit. Maybe he'll eat crayons next.

Of course, nothing gets by you, J$.

I just logged in to post a notice that Gibby was on Hannity.

Good stuff.

Re: "Bathtub Boy"
"He has made no attempt to try to refute that story."

Priceless.

I laugh ever time Gibson says "Bath Tub Boy".

Wonder if Olby will talk about it tomorrow and possibly make Gibson WPITW???

The best comeback Bathtub Boy has on Gibson is " I'm on TV, you use to be on TV." Oh snap. lol

Gibson's book will surely annoy
(MS)NBC and Bathtub Boy
Krazy Keith's "off his meds"
Say informed talking heads
Another shrink Keith needs to employ

Via the transcript, Lou asked a question to Sen. Jim Inhofe on his radio show. "Senator, this begs the question, if I may put it forward right now: who the hell does this president think he is?" There was likely more to the question, but Keith always likes to take interview questions out of context and "answer" them himself.
"Well, Lou, he thinks he's the president. And unlike you, who think you're an independent, and who think you're going to wind up on CNBC, and who thinks you're going to become senator from New Jersey, and believes people aren't making fun of you when they tell you that you should be president; this president appears to be, you know, sane."

Then came the O'Reilly Attack. You saw my own transcript, but here is a fuller one:
"But our winner, Billo [Ding!]. Made a boo-boo on his comedy hour [Ding!] the other day. It was the Osama Obama-a lot of us has done this. I've done it. Sometimes it's deliberate, but not in this case, I don't think. That's not what this is about. It's that Billy [Ding!] apparently thought he was taping his show when they were actually on the network as he spoke.
...
Oh, Bill, seriously? You can't remember whether you're doing it on tape or-
...
Billo the clown [Ding!], today's worst person-oh, let's cut this again, sorry. Oh, we're live? Oh, crap."

And #1:
"Programming note. I will be interrupting the following segment in a few moments to fulfill paragraph 17, clause three of my contract, which requires me to annually light the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree. Trust me, I'll be talking to Mr. Jay Pierpont Comcast about that."

Keithy's seems so happy that Comcast now owns him.

"On to our number one story, in which we discovered today that Tiger Woods' golf handicap is women who work at night spots. Add a Los Angeles waitress and a Las Vegas club executive to his foursome. And after apparently seeking one too many birdies, Woods today apologized on his website at length without whatever saying he was apologizing for.
...
That shot has pretty much landed in the sand trap of the reality of fame. The tabloid of record of "Life & Style Magazine" now reporting that Tiger Woods and Vegas nightclub marketing manager Kalika (ph) have hooked up a bunch of times, while "Us Weekly" found a cocktail waitress and distinguished alum of VH-1's "Tool Academy," ... who claims a 31-month relationship with Woods and says she has a message, has played it, that she says is from Woods, asking her to take her name off her out-going voice mail message, that she says proves everything.
...
Or you can have a man's name on it, or maybe a nunnery. Joining me now, columnist for the "Village Voice," author of "Fork on The Left, Knife in The Back," Michael Musto. So to continue the golf analogies and the use of the warnings of the links here, fore! Good evening, Michael?
MICHAEL MUSTO, "THE VILLAGE VOICE": Hi, Keith. Can you take my name off here?"

More Musto lowlights:
"Yes, the sports media still won't even say that JFK cheated. These people have given him such a free pass for so long. Tiger has made Mary Lou Retton look dangerous, and she is. Those teeth. But I would never want to hear you say, was this scandal necessary again, Keith. That is crazy talk."
"I know, it's like O.J. leaving a message, I'm coming over to cut two heads off later. See you later. It's crazy, Keith. It's so incriminating. Why not rent a dirigible, my wife's getting suspicious; could you block your name. Crazy stuff."
"I'm sure Tiger gave it to "US Weekly." No, I don't know.
Look, he called her, or Mrs. Tiger called?"
"Well, the whole family should stop calling this woman. It's destroying their image. And they're going to have to get a bigger plan-
I think a bigger monthly plan."
"No, I think you would see a whole bunch of decapitated Thanksgiving turkeys, five or six cars sinking into the mud, like in the movie "Psycho," and a long line of Vegas hostesses waiting for their hush money."
"I clicked on that and he's selling the phone messages. I got three for the price of two. Even Carrie Prejean-what's her name-
OLBERMANN: Carrie Prejean.
MUSTO: Thank you.
OLBERMANN: Oh, wait a minute. I've got to light the button. Here you go. Go!
MUSTO: You're not allowed to say that?
OLBERMANN: No, I just had to light the tree. The cue came a little early. I had to do it. I'm sorry.
MUSTO: More tax money of mine going to the Con-Ed bill. I detest cheap sentiment. Back to the important things. Carrie Prejean acknowledged her scandals as they came out ever hour, on the hour. This guy thinks if he can use the blanket term, "transgressions," that will cover it. Sorry, mister, I want details. How many hostesses? Did you tip?"
"I think that was in Eisenstein's "Battleship Potemkin" or maybe it's "What Happened in Vegas." Yeah, you're right. Even weirder is Tiger put out a press release saying, give me privacy. But whatever the case, we should honor his wishes and show some him human decency and let him crash cars and cheat in private. Be decent, people."

And the sign-off from Keith: "That's COUNTDOWN for this 2,407th day since the previous president declared mission accomplished in Iraq. I'm Keith Olbermann, and as Tiger Woods might sign off, thanks for watching me here, playing golf's annual skins game."

One final note: I think I now know why Olby did the "here kitty kitty" line last Tuesday when he said O'Reilly doesn't do ambushes himself. He was likely implying Bill is a coward, but making a reference to a slang term for female anatomy. That slang term takes on a different meaning when you put the word "cat" after it.

I meant to put that comment in the Tuesday/Wednesday thread, but you get the idea. Lou = Lou Dobbs.

Looks like the Comcast-NBCU deal is done. I hope for Olbermann's sake they're not looking to cut costs anytime soon.

How come Olby hasn't been bragging about ratings lately? Maybe because of this:

"Countdown with Keith Olbermann" averaged 1.07M Total Viewers at 8pmET, handily beating CNN and HLN. But in the demo, "Countdown" was third behind HLN's Nancy Grace.

THIRD!! In the money demo. HA!!
