Olbermann is a true Journalist. Who else could have discovered the fabled "Federal Budget Debt". It is like finding the last Unicorn.

WPITW summary:

#3-Pamela Geller for defending Sarah Palin.

#2-America Family Association for pointing out that the reason why gays souldn't openly serve in the military is because of the shower situation.

#1-Sports Illustrated--specifically one whose in charge of covers--and he mentions Dan Patrick, his former Sports radio partner, by name as being the possible culprit. Uh Oh.

Thus continues Keih's countdown to no ratings.

Correction:

should be: "...why gays shouldn't openly..."

#5A: Snowstorms=Global Wa...I mean Climate Change. Weather Channel chief meteorologist Howard Fineman was the guest.

#5B: Video title: "Party of no [Ding!] Medicare?" Dr. Markos Moulitsas dropped bye for the skillionth time.

Kwik Komment #1: Pretending to care about the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe.

#4: Attacking Kit Bond and Newt Gingrich over counterterrorism. Discredited rogue ex-CIA guy Jack Rice piled on.

Oddball: AccuWeather's Wild Jim Kosik. Seriously, Jim, knock off the shtick. You're giving AccuWeather a bad name.

#3: Video title: "Inside the Republican Hypocrisy [Ding!] Hall of Fame." Crazy Larry O'Donnell.

Kwik Komment #2: Another Bachmann Attack.

#2: The Media Matters Minute. Yada yada yada. Worst was S.I. because their jinx may have struck again; this time with Lindsey Vonn. Story here.

#1: Another Beck Attack, but with a guest. Rob Boston, seen here and here. Gibby sure nailed him back then, didn't he? I'm sure it felt great to be in the friendly confines of OlbyPlanet.

I'm just glad O'Reilly wasn't attacked tonight.

A follow-up to Komment #1: I don't want to admit that Keith scored a victory, but TVNewser said he did. The charity he promoted raised almost $200,000 (so far). So, as much as it pains me to say it, congrats, Olby. Oh, and MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

Jim Kosec has been doing it for a while, myself I'm tired of the same old, same old, same old, robot weathercasters. And I'm talking about the accuweather channel.

I can't see how one guy is giving a channel a bad name, don't like it? Turn him off. I sent the youtube vid to my friends in the UK. They wish they had a guy like Jim over there. You want boring robots? Turn on any other freakin' channel (local or national).

Kosec has been with Accuweather longer (since 87') than Olby has had a coherent thought in his head. The head of Accuweather has said in an interview that feedback runs 80/20 in favor of Jim.

Plus Shithead is a day late on this one as O'Reilly ran the Kosec clip the night before in P&P. With O'Reilly saying, you make the call. Jim is a wack-job no doubt. But Olby is forever an ass-hole.

It's my fault for not being familiar with Kosik's longevity. I'm sorry. He's earned the right to do what he does. Again, sorry. I also take back my "Wild" moniker.

I hate having to backtrack. I can't do anything right!!!

Don't worry about it MikeC. He is a wildman!

But you have to have fun with this weather. I'm sure everybody on tv was doing the old scary blah blah blah.

Let's take a look over at FNC where they were having fun with the weather.

Meanwhile over at MSNBC, let's keep up ALGORE's sham! You know I hate to be sexist but. When it comes to the multiple, almost daily gaffes from Brewer. She makes me think of that old line.......

It's not who you know........

Cause she clearly doesn't get it.

Speaking of wild n' crazy weather guys, for anybody from the NYC area.

Remember this guy?

Anybody remember the two anchors at the end?

Keith Olbermahn is a buffoon
Each night sings the same tired tune
Blast Sean, Sarah, and Bill
When, in fact, he's the shill
For Obama (but he'll be gone soon)

@puck30. Loyd Lindsey Young. Remember him well. Saw him give forecast with Giants Helmet on one time. There's an aspergers with whit and humor!

He's now on KGO Radio in San Francisco. Been there awhile and enjoyed hearing his forecasts when I lived there from '97 to 2007

I don't think he has Asperger Syndrome.
From NewsBusters: Olbermann [in #5A]: Limbaugh and Palin Trying To 'Kill Us All' With Global Warming Disinformation.

In #5A, which I joked about in my mini-recap, Herr Olbermahn set the world record for most lies and personal attacks in a 7-minute-42-second span. If glob...sorry, CLIMATE CHANGE isn't working out for you because of COLD WEATHER and SNOWSTORMS, then change the narrative. And that's exactly what's happening. We predicted this all along, they say. Extreme changes in climate are leading to this extreme weather, they say. To quote somebody that Bullymann now hates because he works for Fox, John Stossel, would say: "Give me a break!" (Oh, and watch "Stossel" tonight at 8PM on Fox Business Network.)

I forgot what I was writing in mid-sentence. I didn't need to put in "would say."

It is guaranteed that a producer at Fox News wins WPITW tonight. What was their sin? During the Bill Clinton health scare, Fox aired Glenn Beck with a breaking news caption while the other networks interrupted their scheduled programming to go with a live breaking news broadcast.

Well, hold on, now it appears that Fox has gone to the breaking news desk. However from 5 PM to 5:15, Fox aired Glenn Beck. Watch Edward R. Olbermann distort this and claim Fox didn't even mention Clinton's health at all.

oh of course MSNBC are in full "clinton watch" mode now. and I'll bet if it was Cheney, they'd be doing nothing. if you notice they barely brought him up, and I'm sure racist Chris Matthews cringed when he heard the name, just dying to tell someone you're mis pronouncing it. whatever.

clinton is the ultimate "bubba", drinkin, eatin and humpin. I wonder if he call the stents, "monica and paula"

to hear MSNBC talk, it's like he's the second coming. Watch, you know Keith will bring up "health care" on this. I mean c'mon, Bush senior had some surgery awhile back and I don't remember hearing them bending over backwards on it.

The real kicker of the MSNBC Clinton coverage was the moment of silence Matthews gave when one of the doctors mentioned that Clinton had a quadrupole bypass back in 2004. He then said something to the effect of that being one of the worst days in his life. I believe he also may have been trying to attack Bush by saying that Kerry took a break during his campaigning to visit Clinton while Bush didn't. I wasn't really paying attention that well, but I know he brought up Kerry a few times.

This is going to blow up in MSNBC's face. We now know that Clinton had scheduled his trip to the hospital 48 HOURS AGO. There was no ambulance, and he drove himself to the hospital for a scheduled checkup and stent placement. Somebody within the hospital or one of Clinton's staffers must have leaked this, and MSNBC ran with it and essentially declared a national day of mourning.

CNN is flipping from coverage of it to their main stories, and FOX is doing the same to an extent, but like Honey is saying, MSNBC is like in full "breaking news" mode. Between Chris and Ed telling stories and having that misty look in their eyes.

And what in the hell is Tom Brokow still doing on? I thought he went away.

If it were Cheney, it would be party time at MSNBC and Olby would be praying for his death during his show.

Well the Clinton "love fest" continued from a live version of Countdown, basically repeating the same ole crap as they did a few hours ago, for the idiots out there who need their "Clinton fix" to "meltdown's" coverage.

Then again a hunt for Blackwater, please - this is old, and they need to give up their witch hunt on that stuff.

And then the show tuned into a part of the movie "Sicko" with Olbermann playing the role of Michael Moore, which isn't much of a stretch anymore considering the bloated ass oaf is just as big.

Personally I think they are going overboard on this poor kids' plight. Is it bad, yes...but they're singling him out to really drive it through people to show them the urgency of getting Universal HealthCare. Nice try Keith but we see through your BS.

Then the you know "touched up" poll numbers on Palin. You know the Dems are scared to death of her, and if (and I hope) she does run in 2012, she'll take Obama out. And the love fest of Wolffe and Olbemann. Wolffe is bummed that his book, along with Olbermanns' is for crap and Palins' leaves them in the dust.

They need to watch out for Scott Brown, he could be the Republican's "ace in the hole" and a Brown/Palin ticket would easily crush Obama/Biden in three years.

Then of course bringing up the Sheep video in comparing the Alabama race, you can just see the man reaching for anything, literally anything to fill an hours worth of TV.

WPITW: A rehash on the man who screwed that girl in NY about the exam she missed, who now fixed things, but she had to re-take it later...who cares?

The something about a couple bitching 'bout Beck, BOR and Breitbart. So what?

Then Beck who again gets Worst Person. Talking about dying and Hari Kari, try it Keith please...or can you get the sword through that blubber deep enough to penatrate.

P.S. this isn't an official countdown summary, I leave that to the masters on here, I'm just letting off steam, enjoy.

WPITW: Actually, I'm going with the Worst Persons in My World

Bronze: EVERYBODY!

Silver: Gail Simone: for defending Captain America writer Ed Brubaker for 'teabaggers' comment. It's defending the indefensable (and mixes in with the #1 story tonight).

Gold: Olby and everybody at msnbc.

I've been having a down day and not in the mood for Keith's problems.

What the hell is wrong with this guy? During the first minute of tonight's hour of spin, Olby lead off with the Clinton story, and he just had to throw a shot at George W. Bush. After saying that "former President Bush" was praying for a speedy recovery of his friend, Olby paused, then added "that's the FIRST President Bush wishing for a speedy recovery".

Apparently Edward R. Olbermann now has mind reading powers and deduced that Bush 43 was praying that Clinton died, but knows that Bush 41 wants him to get better. I am actually starting to enjoy the Bush derangement syndrome that liberals can't hold in. Give America a few more months of the Obama show of horrors and the majority will be hoping Bush was still president.

Let me see if can grasp Edward R. Olbermann's views on wasteful government spending

A few thousand dollars to employ a "escort" in a security firm = the greatest fraud ever unleashed on the American tax payer
3.4 million to build a turtle tunnel in Florida = no mention at all

Now, I am personally pissed that Blackwater was wasting money on hookers, but I am even more annoyed with Bath Tub Boy selectively picking wasteful spending to preach to his quickly shrinking viewer base.

In addition, somebody should tell MSNBC that American common law has a specific division of tort damages for insurance bad faith. If this insurance company really was stonewalling the cancer kid, all you need to do is file a claim for insurance bad faith. If you can get those sort of cases to juries, they are almost always the highest damage awards in the history of American civil suits, as jurors really can't stand insurance companies. The mere fact that this kid's family already has hired an Ivy League lawyer proves that the system works. Nice try Keith, the American judicial system can handle these cases without a massive new federal insurance program.

One final thing, his attack on Bachmann tonight was about as petty as it gets. He literally pitched a fit because Bachmann said "the Democrats will use reconciliation to to pass the bill". Was he mad about Bachmann mentioning reconciliation? Of course not, he decided to mock Bachmann's understanding on how a bill becomes a law, saying "This bill has already been passed. TWICE. Nice try, thanks for playing". Haven't heard that insult in awhile Olby, but when your contract runs out with NBC, it's probably going to be Comcast who will be telling you "sorry, thanks for playing"

Since the bill is already been passed twice, why did Olbermann spend 20 minutes preaching about the cancer kid tonight? Why even talk about it at all? He apparently is a civics expert, maybe he can clue us in on how he believes a bill becomes a law. And to think, most of us thought it went to conference committee before it was actually passed. I guess we are all a bunch of knuckle-dragging rednecks who can't grasp Olby logic.

I hate Bath Tub boy constantly using Winston Churchill quotes to make himself sound intellectual. Winston Churchill would probably hate Olby's guts due to him constantly pandering to the rights of Muslim terrorists looking to take over western civilization. Perhaps Keith should research the "inflammatory language" that Churchill used to describe Third Reich, and eventually, the Soviet Union. Churchill had the guts to tell the western world about the dangers that our enemies represented. Modern liberals like Keith want to make sure our enemies have an attorney and aren't touched during interrogation. God help us if Iran actually is capable of producing weapons grade uranium.

Kankles Keith whines about health care yet continues to gain weight at a remarkable pace. The seams in his suit jacket are begging for relief. Health care frauds Ed Shultz and Chris Matthews aren't exactly pictures of health either. Maybe Michelle Obama should turn her attention to the "obesity crisis" at (MS)NBC.

Jim Kosek (I got the spelling right this time) was on 'America Live' yesterday.

Keith informs the Kos Kids that his job is safe, relieves their concerns.

The story:

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2010/2/10/835929/-Oppose-the-NBC-Comcast-Merger

Keith's Komments:

I can only address one part of this with any authority.

Those of you who've posted about Comcast meaning the end of my show or Rachel's can, I think, relieve yourselves of such concerns.

Reports from tv trade publications have charted the finances of MSNBC over the last few years. When Countdown started seven years ago next month the operation was losing a lot of money. By 2005, largely through advertising on Countdown, we were at about break-even. In 2006 we started to make a small profit. By 2007 it was reportedly around $100 million. The 2009 estimate was twice that, and I don't think that correctly gauged the profit off Rachel's show.

We are, despite what the Right would like to believe, an ATM. All previous incarnations of MSNBC - including the Fox Lite stuff of 2002-03 - were financial disasters. Guess which MSNBC a company like Comcast wants to be buying?

Whatever else you think of these guys, they are not in the habit of saying "a billion in profit over the next five years? Who needs it! Cancel the shows that generate it! (Oh, and let's keep paying both of their salaries, too)."

If you want to argue the other points of the Senator's stand, have at - you can understand why I need to recuse myself. But the "they'll-kill-Keith-and-Rachel" stuff is an understandable but groundless fear.

That was followed by a blogger saying that, "In many markets, Comcast has been moving MSNBC from their basic tier to the digital tier, forcing people to watch MSNBC programming online. Meanwhile, Fox remains readily available on basic cable. Why would Comcast sabotage their (soon-to-be) own network in this way, if they're looking to keep the ratings and revenue at their current levels? Would it not make sense to keep MSNBC on the basic tier, to ensure that more people see it, and subsequently, its advertising?

To which Olby replied:

As I Said To My Masters in 2003...if you think you're going to steal the right wing, delirious and delusional audience away from Fox, you're going to lose a lot of money finding out that Fox is not a television news operation, but a political sub-party. You cannot out-Right them - their success is predicated on being exactly on the line separating crazy from chaos. If you are just as Right as they are, they will win on incumbency. If you are not as Right as they are, you will still be dismissed as liberal.

Do you think Glenn Beck's audience quadrupled because he got four times as crazy on Fox as he was on CNN Headline News? Do you think some rival right wing tv network could hire Beck away without most of his viewers saying "you have left our church, you are a heathen - what time is Hannity on?"

Despite the puerile rantings of Mr. O'Reilly and his colleagues, GE is not run by a bunch of leftists. It is run by a bunch of businessmen.

I can't speak to Murdoch "buying Comcast's share" but why is the risk any greater that he'd buy Comcast's share, than that he would have bought GE's 100% share a year ago?

********************************************************************************************************************

So let me get this straight, according to Olbylogic:

1) His and Rachel's job are safe because his show has made $200 million in profits in 2009 and Comcast would not buy a company in financial disaster.

2) Comcast bought MSNBC because their shows will make "a billion in profit over the next five years".

3) Fox viewers are delirious and delusional.

4) Fox is not a television news operation, but a political sub-party.

5) Fox is crazy boarding on chaos.

6) Glenn Beck ratings quadrupled only because he went to Fox.

7) Bill O'Reilly makes juvenile/childish comments about GE.

8) GE is not run by a bunch of liberals, it's run by businessmen.

To break it all down (according to Olby without any shred of proof, links or facts)...MSNBC is not in financial trouble, they actually make millions of dollars for GE. Fox is not a news organization (yawn) and GE is not run by liberals (double yawn).

And of course the Kos Kids ate it up as fact because his viewers and followers are not "delusional" or "delirious"...they are much smarter than you. Everything is fine and dandy at MSNBC. Keith and Rachel are an "ATM" and will continue to make Comcast a lot of money just as they did for GE.

Can this man tell the truth about anything?

Yes, I see Rupert Murcdoch at the White House all the time. Wait a minute that's not Murdoch, that's Jeffery Imelt going in to the white house all the freaking time.

"GE is not run by a bunch of leftists. It is run by a bunch of businessmen."

Really? Why is the chairman of GE (Immelt) on President Obama's Economic Recovery Advisory Board?

"By 2007 it was reportedly around $100 million. The 2009 estimate was twice that, and I don't think that correctly gauged the profit off Rachel's show."

Um, Keith, don't you remember when GE was fined $50 million by the SEC for fraud because GE engaged in a series of efforts to manipulate earnings to mislead investors?

And I didn't even mention the stake GE has in Cap and Trade with the green government contracts. But I guess all this has nothing to do with being a "leftist" but because GE is run by "businessmen".

What a fraud.

One more thing about Jim Kosek: I first heard him give weather reports from AccuWeather on 1010 WINS. That's why I thought he was Mr. Serious when he's really Mr. Let-It-All-Hang-Out. For all I know, AccuWeather meterologists I currently hear on WINS (i.e. Dave Bowers, Josh Nagelberg) are just as energetic.
I'm done. Back to Olby.
