You know Olbermann is losing it when one of his own fellow members of the leftwing hate machine is ashamed of him. This is the first time I have ever seen Stewart attack Olbermann.
Holly god, did anyone see KO when he and Madcow said they would be on after the chairty thing..
#1 he is FAT
#2 does he know what an Iron is? Wrinkles Wrinles..what a slob..
I think he reall jealous of Sen Brown because they are about the same age and when he was 22 years old who was the one asked to show off his body and who wasn't? ALl I can say is thank god for that..I can't even think about KO being a nude centerfold..and I im sure KO is really jealous that Sen Brown has lived the American Dream..he is a better Athlete then Ko, He has a loving marriage, two beautiful daughters..just an all around great guy..unlike scum bag Olbermann!
The Word of the Day on "The O'Reilly Factor" tonight was no "nimiety." According to Merriam-Webster, "nimiety" means "excess, redundancy." Krazy Keith's Komments, Special and Kwik, are loaded with nimiety. Specificially... Be prepared, then...
I said the same thing on my twitter, I mean gooooood GOD! That pouch around his waist? Imagine, for just one moment, to be his talented little GF around "love making" time. BAUGH!
And yes, the wrinkles things, a HUGE 10 - four on that, but again, its related to that gut of his because how could his clothes stay ironed and nice looking with all that waddling and sauntering.

Sorry, Keith. Prempting your show for the Haiti telethon (didn't watch it, got enough misery in my life. Didn't need to see celebs talk about other misery) doesn't clear your debt to karma.
I gave $5 (all I could afford) to the Salvation Army. Just can't stand these celeb telethons. I stopped watching them when my dad died from ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). Just couldn't stomach them anymore. Not that I am a cold bastard (which I can be), it's just too much.

MSNBC is THE place for viewers to get the best political analysis and opinion in today's vast marketplace of ideas. We don't tell our hosts what to say. We don't have talking points. We encourage our talent to voice their opinions strongly and smartly, always rooted in fact. All of this has brought us great success, culminating in last year's victory over CNN.
Hosts strongly voicing their OWN opinions can no-doubt lead to spirited, substantive disagreements. This debate is encouraged. What we're doing at MSNBC is something our competition is not. And it is difficult. We have many strong personalities with differing, passionate opinions, but it is important to remember that we are all on the same team. I want to reiterate my long-standing policy: We do not publicly criticize our colleagues. This kind of behavior is unprofessional and will not be tolerated.
Let me be clear: I encourage you to keep doing what you do best. Give the viewers your perspective and a vigorous debate on the issues they care about. But do not turn substantive differences into personal ones.
From the "Challenge to Keith Olbermann" thread:
#1: Responding to Jon Stewart...by praising him, running the full Daily Show clip, pretending to try to attack him, and then apologizing to him. Can you feel the love?
NewsBusters recap:
Olbermann Apologizes to Stewart: 'I Have Been a Little Over the Top Lately'.
Yeah, but Mike C, I'm still surprised Fat Ass actually made light of Stewart's career by saying it peaked almost twenty years ago. Stewart certainly won't take that as friendly jabbing, at least I wouldn't. And lately, I think there's no love loss between Stewart and the clowns at MSDNC, as he's more often point out that very fact, how MSDNC is operated and promoted by said clowns that is.
But this update says it all... "Griffin responds to TVNewser, "An important rule was broken. I spoke to Keith and he said in the spirit of teamwork and the free flow of ideas, he didn't think it warranted punishment or suspension. I also talked to Joe and he apologized to me," said the MSNBC president, adding, "That's why I made the decision that this didn't rise to the level of punishment, but I felt it was necessary to reiterate my long-standing policy."
Nice, so Keith said its okay not to go after Joe because he want's to build teamwork. I don't who that makes look worse, Joe for towing the line, or Phil for obviously stating that it really is Cankles that runs the network.
One of the topics on "Fox News Watch" this week was the way the election in Massachusettes was covered in the MSM. Monkeymann comes up 2:16 into the video.
"We encourage our talent to voice their opinions strongly and smartly, always rooted in fact."

That's the key....Olbermann's characterization of Scott Brown was not rooted in fact but instead it was a very poor analysis of events concluding with such extreme accusations of homophobia, rascism, sexism and that the candidate accepts violence as an acceptable form of political expression.
There has been ample documentation that Olbermann got his facts wrong and he has not retracted or corrected his editorial....Phil Griffin should be ashamed of himself.
Olbermann's apology was directed Stewart It was not for his audience and it was not to Mr. Brown, that is for sure. Olbermann did not apologize for getting any facts wrong, like the fact that Brown did disassociate himself from the violent threat shouted out at his campaign event. Olbermann apologized for being over the top....whatever that means.
I hope Stewart does have Olbermann on and grills him about his error on the facts surrounding the Massachusetts special election and his blatent hypocrisy (being misogynistic towards Michelle Malkin while holding Brown to some standard of respecting women) in the specific editorial...I would really enjoy seeing Olbermann squirm.
I know he wants media exposure for a ratings boost....his show needs it desperately. However, I believe he has done irrevokable damage to his reputation among those who still hold him in high regard because they have common ideological cause (like Stewart) and that will eventually hurt him and his limited successful career at the pathetic left wing propaganda machine of MSNBC.
It's like he lifted it right from Olby's "special ed" comment.
And isn't this man a constitutional lawyer? Didn't he go to Columbia law school? Has he ever heard of "marbury v Madison"? Hell, did he even hear of the first amendment! What's so hard to understand about "Congress Shall Make No Law Abridging Freedom of Speech"?
I want to see his education records. Did Columbia Law have a Ag school?
Olbermann apologizes to a fellow member of the left wing hate machine, not to Scott Brown of course. Phil Griffin rains in Joe ScarRino and not the ranting lunatic.
Olbermann is such a jackass. He makes a fool of himself night in and night out. When will MSNBC realize that Olbermann is an embarrasment to them. Olbermann has made a career at lying and smearing those whom he disagrees with. You can see the jealousy and hatred he feels for Fox News. It's like he holds a grudge against that company. I wonder if Rupert Murdock firing him from Fox Sports Net has anything to do with it?
Olbermann has gone the way of Jerry Springer and Maury Povich. When things start to get tough, their show started to get more and more insane looking for a ratings boost. I'm just waiting for someone to throw a chair or Olby to start having live paternity tests.
I don't believe it... Muppet Mouth on MSDNC actually de-followed me on twitter... I'd been hammering him for some time and actually hadn't did an @davidshuster in a few days yet today for some reason he de-followed me.
Now I don't know whether to be encouraged or discouraged. Now he won't see my bile filled bellow the belt crass insults worth of being an anchor on MSDNC, at least when I direct them at him.
Oh well, as long as I can do an @norahodonnell and keep her up to date on Sarah Palin's activities, such as: "@norahodonnell This just in Norah, Gov Palin put a pair of shoes on today and ate breakfast... Thought you should know this breaking news first."
It gets worse for poor old Olbermann....A fellow leftist puts him in the same padded room as Glenn Beck!......
"Listen, I think Glenn Beck and Keith Olbermann have both taken leave of their senses. You know, I was a Martha Coakley fan. I thought she was a great D.A. But I know Scott Brown. He’s a great guy. You can’t help but like the guy. He strikes me as a wonderful family guy. He’s out there mowing the lawn. His wife, Gail Huff, has been a great reporter on Channel 5. Racist? A homophobe? Sexist? I mean, this is crazy. His politics are different than mine, but it’s sick."
###
Wow...We all have seen the way Olbermann sees Glenn Beck....he's nuts!....Now a fellow liberal puts Olbermann at the same level as Beck?....This is historic and hysterical!
Read the whole exchange with Kurtz....it ends with another zinger against Olbermann.
You know Olbermann is losing it when one of his own fellow members of the leftwing hate machine is ashamed of him. This is the first time I have ever seen Stewart attack Olbermann.
The news hack and sniffer of jock
Is the subject of John Stewart's mock
The butt of his joke
Much fun he'll poke
Keith's as dumb as a suitcase of rock

After watching the Hope for Haiti Now telethon I feel hope for humanity through the outpouring.
Now I feel dirty and despondent having seen this sad excuse for a human being follow such a lovely effort for Haiti.
ENOUGH! RESIGN!

This is the 106th day since the current President was awarded the Nobel Peace prize.
Props to Johnny Dollar for being mentioned on BOR's Talking Points Memo.
Once saw Missterrr Olbermann exiting a limo at 30 Rock. His jacket buttons were popping. He's enormous.

Since it's Olby, I have my doubts, but I think making light of Jon's career was "pretending to try to attack him."

Speaking of Maury, his daughter-in-law is the executive producer of "Countdown."
