Just when you think the infamous, deplorable Keith Olbermann has scraped the bottom of the barrel, he goes and proves you wrong. Well he did want Hillary Clinton beaten to death. And he did take on the aspect of a cheering section for women abusers by chortling as he called one woman a mashed-up bag of meat with lipstick. Those were pretty bad. Maybe this doesn't quite sink to that level of personal vitriol, but it certainly plumbs new depths of crass vulgarity.
Behold the ever-evolving ethical standards of (MS)NBC News. In reporting on a poll from the impartial Daily Kos, Edward R Olbermann put up a graphic purporting to represent the findings. Look and be amazed at what passes NBC standards and practices these days (screengrab via johnny dollar's place):

Now before the apologists rush to insist that this was merely a typo, a mistake that someone overlooked, consider the following facts:
Is this a new low for the infamous, deplorable Keith Olbermann? Or just a typo combined with an incredible string of coincidences? Discuss, resolve, and then recap the last Hour of Spin of the week. Comments are open!
Just a reprint from another site I posted on just in case it gets taken down over there.
Right On Sara & Chris!
People love to forget Greta because she doesn’t march in lock step. Greta is a democrat and also a Scientologist, yet she chooses not to flag wave it on tv. They want somebody like Mike Malloy on FNC and then they still would not be happy.
Greta has interviewed Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin, Billy Graham, Franklin Graham, Mitt Romney, John McCain, Hillary Clinton, Henry Kissinger, Lawrence Eagleburger, and Condoleezza Rice. She has interviewed Presidents George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush; former Vice-President Dick Cheney; former House Speaker Newt Gingrich; and Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf and I could go on.
I took on a FNC nut on another site because I couldn’t understand how he could call Greta’s show, which has won it’s time slot for the past 8 years. A ‘Weak Link’. And the anti-FNC people don’t like her because she’s not a screaming banshee like Randi Rhoades.
Now with Hannity & Maddow I don’t watch them, But from what I have. One shills for the DNC & one shills for the RNC. And you know what? I don’t have a problem with either, and “I” make the choice not to watch them.
Alan Colmes? Has a regular weekly segment on ‘The Factor’ with his sister in law. And also still has that 3 hour radio show on ‘FOX NEWS RADIO’ , that just happens to be carried on many progressive radio stations.
Let’s also get rid of this notion MSNBC is fair and balanced. Matthews, Schultz, Olbermann & Maddow have their own shows. Morning Joe has mutiple players. Plus how many of these shows on MSNBC got great fanfair when they began? And we were all told of how they would rise and take over as ratings champions, and crush FNC?
Now, anybody who’s been calling Beck a Conservative far-right guy, doesn’t watch the show and just takes their points from Huff-Poo & Media Matters. That ‘Slaughtered’ cr** that they tried to hang on him this week proves it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WI6y_TJd4OQ
Back in the day, places like Huff-Po, Daily Kos, Media Matters could play ‘Chop Shop’ Videos. The MSM could pick up on that, run with it. And dump on anyone that did not go along with the program for which they could get away with, unchallenged.
Now. we can play the whole tape, the whole segment. (thank you youtube)
O’Reilly we have already covered this week, just look at his guest list this week. Compare it with Olbermann’s, nuff said.
You know for all the moaning, finger pointing, Chopped up Videos, screaming, yelling, spewing exact talking points from all things anti-FNC websites. There’s one thing they have not been able to do in all the years FNC has been Number 1 for cable news.
Put on a show that can beat them.
And it can be done, just look at this site. There are quite a few authors that I see take the heat because, they try to be balanced and not march in lock step. Don’t be surprised if you see them on Red-Eye one of these days, and other FNC shows. (OMG! I probably cursed them now)
So step up anti-FNC people. Put on that show that will rise in the ratings and beat FNC. And quit b*%#&ing and moaning. Show us what you can do!
Olby? Daily Kos Poll? Markos? MSNBC?
Makes sense to me Johnny!
But what do you expect from 2nd graders, that's why pinhead elites are running from this guy.
How can anyone watch this show? Olbermann is such a juvenile. He hates women, he hates conservatives, he hates the fact that his ratings are low. If you look at the Fox News commentators (O'Reilly, Beck, Hannity) they do their jobs professionally. They may make jokes to lighten the mood, but they don't insult liberal/progressive women and they don't call a candidate for office a sexist, racist, homophobe. The way Olbermann insults and name calls is so immature. If Olbermann wants to be taken seriously, he should become a serious commentator and discuss the issues and watch our government. But that's wishful thinking and it may not come true in our lifetime.
If anyone saw last nights show, during the WPITW segment when he named Glenn Beck as his WPITW. The only thing he had on Beck was that his last name was the same of a nazi party leader in Germany in the 1930's which I thought was very pathedic and then continued to make fun of his name by repeating it in a snide voice. If that's not immature and non-professional, then I don't know what is.
Well lets see what we have learned tonight. Hmm....NOTHING. SOS, only in different order.
Bragging again about the potential downfall of "Sister Sarah" as he calls her. More borning talk with that hack Wolffe.
Bashing the tea party and comparing it to 60's civil rights talk.
Claiming that Jon Stewart "stuck it to" BOR. Cause Bill didn't show the whole interview but put the rest on the 'net and got caught getting "schooled" by BOR. DUH Keith, the only reason why Bill didn't have the whole interview on and showed selected clips was because of time constraints, cause Bill has a real show and you have nothing else in.
Then there was the sheep story. Only this idiot and the exception of lone Python fans still in their PBS basement know of that similarity. Get a life Keith. The Pythons can't stand you, you're an embarassment to them. Graham Chapman is rolling over in what is left of his grave hearing your babble.
And stop saying that Bush left New Orleans left for dead. For that comment, YOU SIR need to be done that.
Now do we really care about the Super Bowl and Obama's predictions and how someone ditched the town now nearly 5 yrs ago! Get over it and move on like the rest of New Orleans has.
I hope Countdown is cancelled, I'm sure it's going to be before the end of the year. That fat bloated idiot can only put his foot in his mouth for so long before it becomes permanently stuck in there.
I knew that would be the spin from O'Reilly haters: Jon won and he also schooled, pwned, truth-squadded, and other juvenile memes.
What about sheep? People that watch Fox are sheep? Was that his point?
Keith's a douchebag extraordinaire
Just witness his Nielsen share
He's Ag School degreed
Journalism hackneyed
Live-in prostitutes call him "Bear"
#3: Keith plays the best of the full Stewart interview. Of course, that means the best gotchas and filibusters. It ended with this: "Just for contrast, when Stewart savaged me two weeks ago, I ran the whole thing on this show, and he didn't even *do* it on this show. When O'Reilly interviews Stewart live...and lets him say stuff like that on TV, not just on the 'net, I'll pay off part of his next *harassment settlement* [Ding!]." It *had* to end with that cheap shot, didn't it? How many times do we need to bring that up?
I think you guys are grasping at straws with this one, but it might just be that I don't care because this guy has become absolutely irrelevant. I'm a regular poster at TVNewser and there's about three apologists left for this guy and one of them is a bored troll.
What Merkle failed to point out was the length of the full "web-only" interview: 42:12!
Oh, and there was this exchange in the "web-only" interview beginning at 36:54:
STEWART: "... We've got people that eat brains in our jail system. Do you watch...I know you don't watch MSNBC, but watch it on the weekends. They have these prison shows..."
O'REILLY: "I know. I don't know why...why are they doing that, by the way?"
STEWART: "I don't...uh, they're out of money? I don't know what they're doin'."
O'REILLY: "I think they ran out of people. They don't have enough people to come in."
STEWART: "All right. ..."
The full interview. Fasten your seatbelts. (Oh, wait, I shouldn't say that; it got Glenn Beck in trouble.)
I wonder why Keith thinks we criticize him for rarely having opposing view points on his show. That's complete bullpuck and he knows it. We criticize him for NEVER having and opposing view point on his show.
Apparently Olbermann now just runs a clip show of O'Reilly outtakes. I guess he has failed at causing a dent in his ratings, so why not just hitch a ride on his fame? I also got a kick out of his justification for not having opposing views on. Unfortunately for his pathetic rationalization, Hannity, Greta, and Beck ARE LIVE and completely destroyed his point.
In addition, the Red Eye guys already blasted that creepy sheep ad last night. Except they didn't make it a melodramatic special comment like Edward R. Olbermann did. The actual ad was hilarious in a Terminator parody sort of way, Olbermann just ruined it. Why the hell can't this guy ever take a single joke? His show is quickly turning into a really bad Red Eye knockoff with the new focus on stupid criminals in his WPITW and the increasingly annoying Odd Ball segments. Could it be because Red Eye is coming close to matching him in the demo? Greg Gutfeld might want to prepare for the onslaught of childish insults soon to be coming his way. Once Nancy Grace permanently leaves him in the dust, he needs to focus on somebody new.
This is what gets to me, O'Reilly posted the whole interview on the FNC internet site. Wednesday he told everybody this. Thursday he told everybody this. Friday he told everybody this.
Yet liberals like Olby treat it like O'Reilly is hiding, O'Reilly is ducking. Can Olby just ramble? or does he have to stop for breaks? Funny how he forgets how tv works.
And this thing about putting it up on the internet? I guess Olby thinks his audience is too stupid to navigate to the FNC website? Or that maybe he is trying to put forth the notion that, Conservatives don't own computers? And even if they did, they couldn't work the power button?
Well, since we are dealing with twisted logic from a twisted mind.
News to Olby:
We own laptops, and if for some reason we don't have internet at our houses, we can go to any of the following places for FREE internet.
Starbucks
Dunkin Doughnuts
McDonalds
Motels & Hotels, go into the Lounge, sometimes you might get it by just sitting in your car outside of the place.
K-Mart
Let's say the house burns down with your Computer in it, you can go to your local Library and use their Computer. FOR FREE!
Or, you can pay and get something like Verizon wireless
But how can you tell that to somebody like 'Captain Video' who thinks he is the only one that can see and show us 'racist code words' that only Conservatives speak.
He's on his way out, but like I said before. He has about a year and a month to go on his contract. NBCU won't fire him now because they are leaving and they don't want to pay him. When Comcast finally takes over, they will let his contract run out. Unless he does something that violates his contract where they don't have to pay him.
Remember, to just fire him. You will most likely pay the rest of his contract. And he will probably drop a lawsuit on them for some sort of dopey workplace violation.
You think it's bad now folks, it's going to get worse from him as his last year on Cable comes to a close, especially if the Republicans don't blow it and pretty much wipe out the Democrats in November.
I would think you would all love for him to stick around as returns come in from around the Country and the map turns a shade of red not seen since maybe 94'.
Let me ask you, when was the last time he was written about in the tv section of a newspaper? When was the last time he was on a talk show like Leno, Letterman, or any of the others?
He is becoming, posion, a non-factor, obsolete to his own kind. They don't want to be associated with him. His guest list grows smaller by the week, because his guests are saying. "What good is it for my career to go on his show"? Only the completely ignorant like wolffe and Marky Markos show up nowadays.
His gig is dying folks, His schtick is begining to eat him alive. He was once the one who pulled the strings of the puppet. Now the puppet is begining to pull his strings.

Olbermoronn is in a death spiral. Kountdown's ratings are plummeting so Keith ramps up the vitriol in a childish attempt to gain an audience. Ramping up the vitriol alienates even more viewers (and potential guests) resulting in worse ratings. It's over, Olby. You lose.
Maybe Keith should resurrect his "legal expert" John (disbarred attorney, convicted felon) Dean to advise on his inevitable lawsuit against (MS)NBC/GE. You know this isn't going to end well.
Does Keithy even know that people can see the whole interview on line or in fact that people can see what others say on networks or individual shows on line in their entirety? No wonder his ratings are down 50% since the Obama election. People started to wise up and do research on their own and realized that Olbermann is a fraud.
I don't get how Olbermann can put on a "news show" that is 90% about another news show (or it's on air personalities) and get away with calling that journalism. Taking personal shots at a competitor's programming/personalities is not journalism. I'm not a journalist, but "news" about another news show is NOT NEWS. It's laughable.
Maybe that IS what they taught him at his agricultural alma mater.
Would you buy/read The New York Times if 90% of the pages were filled with attacks on The New York Post? I highly doubt it. Doesn't Olby see this????
FIRE HIM NOW
What I do not get is about Countdown is that most of the people that watch this show, would never watch FNC,Listen to Rush. or real conservative blogs so what is the purpose? To make sure these people are so outradged that they would never dare turn the dial, because they actually might find what a fraud Olbermann is he is a jerk!
Why not be positive? Why not show what a great job this Lib agenda is doing for all America, maybe the fact is that is not great is a real disater! Nothing positive to report about your people so why not try and take down the other side that has better ideas.
Maybe he is a bitter middle aged man that looks around and all he sees is anger, just not happy!
Oh I know this one is getting taken down. And since the loons are running the site I'll probably get banned.

You guys are so right! I take back the ‘dumber then a box of rocks’ statement.
Obama is much smarter then all of us. When he goes off that teleprompter, he is just a wizz eh?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDJSVPAx8xc
Thanks for pointing that out guys. BTW: I wonder if he knows how many original colonies there were?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpGH02DtIws
And what was that thing about seeing dead people?
Let’s put him on Jeopardy with Hillary and Palin and get this done once and for all, do you think he will be able to work the buzzer? BTW: My money is on Hillary to win, Palin to Place, Obama? Can you finish out of the money in a three horse race?
LOL!
But if you attack J$P no problem!
I'm surprised they left my rebuttle up

same2you, you are so right about the Koldys Kiddie Korner, I am sure Koldys is already getting it ready for his Fox Crap Week in Review. He will cherry pick every joke and call it a lie, Koldys has about the same sense of humor that Sara has which is none.
As for the jazz loving freak, we better not forget about IM Right? man crush on Olbermann and Dollar obvious crush on Botox Banderas.

” jazz loving freak, IM Right? man crush on Olbermann, Dollar obvious crush on Botox Banderas.”
I do believe we have our first case of DDS! (Dollar Derangement Syndome) here at Mediaite.
While Patrick was sliming me, I was at a Super Bowl party. He also has MCDS, Mike C. Derangement Syndrome. Patrick may be interested to know that I have many progressive friends.
