"And now, something special as promised, a guest 'Quick Comment' and I'll let the commentator provide their own introduction.
Good evening. I'm Sarah Palin's left hand. All of us hands have been written on but when was the last time you were written on for something that wasn't either trivia, stuff that the brain figured it was going to forget, you know, peanut butter, gravy, Diet Dr Pepper. Or when it's not that, it's something really important or complicated like a phone number at a bar or the answer sequence on a bio-exam or George Costanza's crib notes in bed with that girl? I really enjoyed that episode.
I mean, look at this: energy, cuts, tax, lift American spirits. That ain't exactly the Gettysburg address she scribbled on me. And—and look. A cross-out? A cross-out?
Four things she wanted to remember and she couldn't keep them straight even after she wrote them down on me? I know. I know. I read the blogs. They're trying to defend us. 'At least it wasn't a teleprompter.' Like the Boss had her acceptance speech at the convention written on her thigh or something.
Remember how she complained when the prompter screwed up on her? Remember how she used the prompter throughout the campaign? Get this woman a new prompter stat. I mean, if not, some day, I'll open up and on the palm, it will say, your name is Sarah.
OK. I can see I'm out of time but I want to thank you for being such a great audience. Give yourselves a hand. I know. Old joke.
But before I go, I'd just like to end with a two-word plea to the American people: Help me!"
Something tells me that's not the first time Olbermann has used "Sarah Palin's left hand" if you know what I mean. Also, nice line reading, jackass.
Note to Olbermann, no one wants to see your doughy flesh again. Oh and where was your Super Bowl pass? I thought for sure he'd have it on to show how big of a big-shot he is.
Another splendid moment in the history of NBC Broadcast Journalism. NBC must be so proud to have witnessed this great moment. The Kennedy assassination, the moon landing, 9/11 and you can now add to the list...a hand puppet complete with lipstick and glasses mocking a former VP candidate and governor of Alaska.

(what an idiot, it was a freakin igloo made during a huge snow storm, oh yes ppl die, big deal, they die all the time what is the difference?)
GOLD!!: David Stiener: For liberal government bureaucracy. who cares.
(ya know Keith? Rules are rules, if you can't show up, then you get what you deserve, unless she told him something ahead of time, then some support could be given, otherwise just as Syvyn said.."who cares?")
He said last night that Toyota made bad cars or something like that, but I've seen two Toyota apology commercials during the hour of propaganda. Go figure...
Just I have a problem following olby logic. Especially for WP status. I find a child molestor to be a worst person than most of the people Olby names. And sometimes it's just too hard.
Red Eye just aired a new robot theater aimed specifically at Olbermann. Rest assured there were references to the bath tub and shaving his back with a butter knife. Hopefully Fox uploads it on youtube ASAP.
KEITH OLBERMANN, HOST: That`s next, but first tonight`s worst persons in the world. The bronze to Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee. You`ll remember, the record setter for longest monotone question to the president at their meeting. Her new debt solution? Allowing younger Americans to privatize their Social Security accounts, where they can get wiped out the next time the mortgage industry or some other form of legalized gambling wipes out another chunk of the economy. By the way, federal budget debt is a good thing in a recession. It`s not a bad thing. As a percentage of Gross Domestic Product, it`s about the same as it was in 1970, as it is right now, far less than it was throughout the Reagan administration.
Uhhhh, Keith. There is no such thing as 'federal budget debt. There is FEDERAL BUDGET DEFICIT!
Seems like this guy is as smart as Obama. That wasn't a compliment.
as Hugh Hewitt said "he's just a dumb sportcaster that gets his lines fed to him".
"as Hugh Hewitt said "he's just a dumb sportcaster that gets his lines fed to him"."
Yep. Olbermann's drivel about the "federal budget debt" comes straight from the partisan hack, leftist "economist" Krugman, who spews his progressive crap via the NY Times op-ed pages, and has been on Keithy's show many times. Olbermann knows as much about the economy as he does about most other issues he "reports" on: ONLY WHAT HE IS FED by leftists!
Two NewsBusters links: Olbermann Paints 'Tea Klux Klan' as Wanting to Bring Back Jim Crow Laws. This was in #3 with Geno Robinson. (For you newcomers, that's how I refer to Eugene Robinson.) Olbermann's 'Federal Budget Debt a Good Thing' [in WPitW] Staggeringly Stupid.
As for Inhofe's grandkids:
"The runner up, Molly and Jimmy Rapert, daughter and son in law of Senator James Inhofe of Oklahoma, and also their four children. After the DC snowstorm, they happily built a big igloo at 3rd Street and Independence, South-East, with a big sign reading, 'Al Gore's new home' and 'honk if you heart global warming.'
Well, obviously that's funny during a storm that killed people. To the political statement, you do realize that it's climate change, where when it's supposed to get warm, it gets warmer, and where it's supposed to get cold, it gets colder. You got that, right? It isn't a freaking weather forecast from Channel Four? Grandpa Inhofe is a cheesy politician and he doesn't understand this complicated stuff, right?"
What a snarky jerk.
#1: The Dave/Oprah/Jay Super Bowl ad. Bill Carter threw away his last shred of credibility by appearing as the guest.
To pick up on part of #3, the birthers are the screaming minority in the tea party movement. I wish they weren't in the movement at all. Thanks to them, the Olbermanns of the world act like they're the majority. He was born in Honolulu, okay?! Stop acting like he's from Kenya!
Mike, unfortunately we don't live in a perfect world, but in the case of the ape ruler even one stupid belief by a conservative means that ALL conservatives are morons. For every "Katrina conspiracy," "9/11 conspiracy," "Unjustified attack on Iraq conspiracy," "Not planning to catch OBL conspiracy," etc. by the moronic ape follwers there may be one nutjob philosophy theory by the right...in this case the "birther theory"...that the ape ruler will jump on.
This has gone on for over 50 years now, at least from the time of the Viet Nam war, and it's never going to change as long as the ape followers have the forum to preach their crap. For every 1 nutjob theory from the right there seems to be 10 from the left, and to the ape ruler that is all he sees. So don't go too hard on these birthers Mike, no matter how out of touch with reality they may be, because as always the ape ruler only needs 1 mistaken point of view from the right to blow it way out of proportion, regardless of the hundreds he sees everyday from his followers, as it has NOTHING to do with preaching what is right, as it has all to do with COVERING up what is wrong.
He's the master of camouflage, smoke and mirrors, and if it isn't about the birthers, then it'll be something else. Health care, economy, Republican's rising up, massive Tea Party demonstrations, unhappiness with the current president...no problem, as I'll just whip out this "clever" kindergarden video mocking an ex republican governor, and everything will be fine again on the Planet of the Apes.
Johnny, how about a link to the whole disgusting segment for we masochists out here.
What a putz!
Here's the link, Grammie.
