He hasn't been on The Hour of Spin for a while, but don't get the impression that the infamous, deplorable Keith Olbermann hasn't been busy. Maybe just not busy doing what you thought. The posts continue of course over at the (now heavily moderated) baseball blog. Meanwhile he's picking up the pace at his blog of choice, Daily Kos (proprietor: Markos 'Screw 'Em' Moulitsas). Mediaite noticed that he posted a blast at Jesse Ventura:
Keith Olbermann responded to an interview between Cenk Uygur and Jesse Ventura with a lengthy blog post on Daily Kos last night. Then he followed it up with 18 more comments to fellow Kos commenters. All concern his history with MSNBC, Ventura's, Ashleigh Banfield's time at the network (and leaving the network) and...more.
Jesse's crime? He criticized MSNBC. It is ironic that for all his rhetoric, Oralmann proves at heart to be the quintessential 'company man', flacking for his bosses even when he is supposedly preoccupied with other matters.
And yet the obsessive-compulsive nature of this cannot be understated. It was after 3:00 am, and Keith was presumably back home (he claims he wrote the lengthy original post at the hospital, using an iPhone!). But though it was the middle of the night, Edward R Olbermann was still tap-tap-tapping away. For some reason he thought it necessary to produce a detailed list of every person who held the 8:00 pm slot on A-Mess-NBC. We suppose that's nice bit of ego-onanism for someone who can then claim "I had it longest", but really, it's just...well...weird:

Notice how he puts that line break in to highlight 2, and again to separate 21 from the entries preceeding it? Self-absorbed much?
Discuss, resolve, and recap. Comments are open!
Ok that's just to crazy how he can find all of this TIME, and yet can't be managed to come over to the studios and do his show. YET, he can have the cameras do a spot last week on a rooftop somewhere in NYC.
Crazy huh?
But lets move on a successor to the idiots throne, one Ed Shultz who today wheeled out to (obviously an intern and her mom) talking about their health care woes, then going ballistic and doing an Olbermann by looking into the camera yelling out, "PASS THE DAMN BILL."
What a loser. Ed, you and KO need to both shut the hell up. HC is dead. And this oh people are dying, well...DUH jackass, people DIE everyday! Do you NOT get that? Geez, you are so pathetic, both of you.
Then there's MK (oh hell it's KOS or KO, we're not stupid) you're another loon. Your hero's 15 min of fame is now like the HCP, at ZERO, thank you for playing now get the hell out.
I personally think ole "Theo" has already checked out to that great big Chuck Wagon in the sky and KO is just trying to gather up stuff for some emotional assed "Special Comment" he'll unload once he brings his bloated "Free Willy" butt back to the set.
And if...IF it's passed, which it wont, He'll go off in a final rant about HC. I just wish the brass at MSNBC realized that their network is a joke. The hosts are one-sided losers, (I have to give houseboy, some props, she goes both ways, but still a lefty) who really did everything to get Obama into the White House, and now they feel they're the "official" voice of the WH.
The good thing is, this will be over soon. The Dems will lose both the House and Senate and the Republicans will take it over. If this bill is passed, go back in there and tear it up. Basically shove it back into their face. Show them it doesn't work, it won't work, end of story.
So I was listening to the Howard Stern Wrap Up Show today... (Yes I listen - I like it) Today was the Tiger Woods Mistress Beauty Pageant.. Baba Booey said that Keith Olbermann was going to be there today.. He didn't show up but he did say he was going to be there.. Kind of like saying you're going to work at your job but then not going... He is such an Ass... and Meerkat - I agree with you someone should tell Ed about the club for all the people that are dying.. its called EVERYONE.. No one is immortal... not even the asshole in the white house.
OH and one more thing... I hope Ventura responds to Keith... Just like the pussy he his he has to attach Ventura from behind his computer screen. Ventura should call him out and kick his fat ass. Might take a while because there is so much of him.
Is it safe to assume that Olbermann is serving a suspension for his comments about Dan A? I remember msnbc folks issued that memo a while back scolding Joe S. for criticizing msnbc talent and warning everyone else to knock it off....
One more thing, why does MLB put up with Olbermann? If Limbaugh is banned associating himself with the NFL how is Olbermann not too devisive for MLB?
Sorry I keep posting but i just read the Mediaite piece about all the past anchors at MSNBC - Keith you are total bullshit... How is that you know all these ins and outs of contract negotiations with on-air talent... I would think that there would be some sort of HR confidentiality going on there.. And as I recall Ashleigh Banfield was NBC's darling after 9/11 - I remember the rave reviews about her coverage that day and people were talking about how great she was and everyone was wanting her glasses... suddenly 2 years later - after they have this huge talent, they just up and decide not to renew her contract... BULLSHIT. Seriously Keith I know the list is long and distinguished but exactly who did you sleep with (male and/or female) to get where you are today??
Krazy Keith kontinues to blog
His weight going up like a hog
He's fat and bloated
On meds he's loaded
Has his gear in Obama's cog
I think Keith probably gets annoyed with Ashleigh Banfield because she keeps nagging him for her glasses back.
From the previous post:
MKDAWUSS I read your most recent post (yawn) but we're still waiting for you to respond to all the lies we posted about Olbermann Monday night. You have proven once and for all to all of us here you are a coward.
HoneySmacks I would love to ignore MKDACOWARD, I really would. But I am dying to find someone who can defend Keith Olbermann.
Someone who can tell me it's ok to call a woman a "mashed up meat bag with lipstick".
Someone who can tell me it's ok to call the troops "cold blooded killers".
Someone who can tell me it's ok to issue ridiculous claims without evidence.
Someone who can tell me it's ok to insult those you disagree with solely because they disagree with you.
Someone who can tell me it's ok to be a massive hypocrite.
To be honest MKDACOWARD has become the best I can find at defending Olbermann, which isn't saying much.
I guess MKDACOWARD put his tail between his legs for this one tonight.
IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE WHO CAN DEFEND KEITH OLBERMANN???
I agree...just ignore him because it's pointless to debate with someone who simple refuses to face facts. You can post quote after quote and lie after lie but he will never accept/believe it because that is just who he is. He can't debate or defend so he resorts to posting pictures of his hero. Just ignore him and he will slink away back to the Daily Rag where he can get the emotional support he craves.
I would absolutely love to debate the issues but it seems the only two people that have come in here (since I've been here) have been absolute failures.
PS Please don't put m comments in quotes and respond to them because I already know what I said and I won't respond to you anyway. I would rather debate Health Care with my dog...at least I MIGHT get an intelligent rebuttal.
I like to make a couple of points in the holes in Frau Olberschmuck's list of MSNPUs disasters..
He left out the show that caused him to litterally go nuts in the first place ...THE WHITE HOUSE IN CRISIS which replaced per se "THE BIG SHOW"
Also if one remembers , Former management at MesSNPU had annointed Ashleigh Banfield " THE SAVIOUR OF MSNBC" , hmm sounds like what Shapiro says about Olbermann...
Olby, your done, toast...the torch is passed to your nephew Crazy Larry sunshine
It's just not possible for every single one of Keith Olbermann's fans to be a complete moron. It's just not.
Carlos - AKA (Mortal Combat Deadly Asinine Wuss)
Do not be intellectually dishonest with yourself....
It's okay to open your mind and grasp the reality and the truth about Keith....
FYI - You may find solace in a" Kool Aid's Anonymous meeting"....
#3 and #2: Crazy Larry had a tickle fight with Bill Maher; by which, I mean the two had a two-segment agreementfest. I'm sure Maher played the stupid card again.
"One more thing, why does MLB put up with Olbermann? If Limbaugh is banned associating himself with the NFL how is Olbermann not too devisive for MLB?"
Olbermann hasn't made anywhere near the list of divisive comments that Limbaugh has.
CJFLAN32--
"Someone who can tell me it's ok to call a woman a "mashed up meat bag with lipstick"."
Were you just as outraged over "big bag full of mashed-up jackass?" "[B]ig bag full of mashed-up Jake Delhomme?"
"Someone who can tell me it's ok to call the troops "cold blooded killers"."
If he said that, then Rush Limbaugh called our troops "phonies"
"Someone who can tell me it's ok to issue ridiculous claims without evidence."
http://mediamatters.org/search/index?qstring=baseless&x=0&y=0
You tell me
"Someone who can tell me it's ok to insult those you disagree with solely because they disagree with you."
"Someone who can tell me it's ok to be a massive hypocrite."
According to 99% of the comments and entries on OlbermannWatch, apparently it is OK to insult those you disagree with, and it's entirely acceptable to be a massive hypocrite.
On another note, what I find amazing is that someone (John Gibson) can build an entire career living off and attacking Keith Olbermann and his success.
Carlos.... Set the Kool Aid down and step away....
Mkdawuss, how is accusing Limbaugh of impropriety a defense of Keith Olbermann?
Also this is a sight dedicated to shedding light on Olbermann's lies, vcious personal attacks and general insanity. Why does it matter what anyone's feelings are on some espn's commenter's words on Jake Delhomme. Also are you suggesting that because Olbermann called both Malkin and Limbaugh big bags of mashed up meat that it's somehow ok?
Furthermore, linking to a search page on Media Matters is just plain stupid. Again this is a Keith Olbermann site, what does Media Matters have to do with anything going on here?
"According to 99% of the comments and entries on OlbermannWatch, apparently it is OK to insult those you disagree with, and it's entirely acceptable to be a massive hypocrite."
Just wow. The whole point of this site is to show that Olbermann is insulting everyone he disagrees with all while being a massive hypocrite and the good people here are specifically saying that's not OK. Are you familiar with the phsycological concept of projection, because that is a classical example.
P.S. I tuned into Countdown for about 20 seconds today and I heard Bill Maher and Larry O'Donell talking about "teabagging" and "snorkeling". I can not understand how any channel, especially one trying to be a news channel, can allow a conversation like that to happen. I can't even put into words how disgusted I was by that brief interchange between two horrible people.
At least MK is back to where he started when he popped up on day one: Attempting to rationalize Edward R. Olbermann's lies and smears by comparing him to Rush Limbaugh. He has now gone full circle through his tactics, time to stop giving him any more of our attention. It's painfully obvious that whenever the main page has a new entry, he immediately gets his posts in so he doesn't have the stare at the dozens of contradictions we post for him.
Comparing Rush to Olbermann is ridiculous, for one, Rush doesn't pretend his show is a news program. He openly admits his politics and the slant at which he approaches news items. Rush admits he is a conservative, yet Olbermann denies that he is a liberal.
I am not here to defend Rush, because he has said things in the past that I think went to far, but he admits his show is his opinion and for political entertainment. Olbermann keeps pretending that he is legitimate news and that Rush, Hannity and others are shills. Pot. Kettle. Black.
What really is the issue here with MKD is that you'll never prove your points when it comes to the Ape Ruler, because with MKD and his kind it's not only that they'll never see the light, but the "light" to them is always tainted. If you show him a thousand examples and quotes from their coward that proves he's a liar they either won't believe it...or much worse...they CONDONE it.
So, if you show them a quote saying that he said our troops are baby killers...big deal, because to these anti-Americans our troops are the lowest of the low. Show them a quote that says Ann Coulter is a man, and yeah that's okay because she is. Show them a quote that a former Viet Nam war hero is worse than the terrorists, and there's no condemnation, because deep down they feel the same way if their ruler says it's so.
You can't argue with anybody like this crowd on this site, or anywhere for that matter, because you are arguing/debating with the thought, and this is the most important issue here, that you are having an intelligent conversation with somebody with lucid ideas. That is the problem I see we are all having when it comes to these delusional mixed up people.
There is nothing, absolutely NOTHING that these followers of the Ape Ruler would ever say or do to condemn their hero no matter what the proof. Even if he lied through his whole show saying that every democrat/liberal in the country were secretly republican/conservatives his blind followers would take that to their grave. He could say ANYTHING no matter how ludicrous, and they not only will believe it but ENDORSE it.
It's like having a debate with a cockroach, and the only one who loses is us for taking the time to point out the obvious flaws we see in this deranged loser. We get frustrated because we think we are debating someone who will come back with an example to prove us wrong, and all we get back is the cockroach running away when the light comes on who then does the exact same thing day after day with no reason other than the fact that this is how it is programmed. They run on instinct, and nothing more.
This whole thing with the Ape Ruler's followers is not even about party lines, although olbermann in his depraved way probably thinks it is, as it's ALL about a man who has gathered a core following that is borderline obsessive compulsion addicts, who cling to every whim and sick comment that comes out of his vile lying mouth, and who will defend him as if it was defending their own soul.
I'm as guilty as the rest here who have posted to counter the stupidity of MKD and the others who have stuck up for their ruler, and I guess it's the need...at least in my case...to help these poor naive fools see the error of their ways, and to help them see the light, but alas, as soon as I think it's working they run back into the cupboard, and the same thing happens again the next day.
My bad for trying, and I guess it's the goodness of most people to try to help an "addict," but unfortunately as with most addicts, denial is a very powerful weapon to overcome.
I agree with HS. Time to start ignoring him. Trolls give up when no one takes their bait. That reminds me: I don't go to Daily Kos, Newshounds, HuffPo, Think Progress, etc., and leave comments to *their* threads.
WUSSY tosses another belt-high softball out over the plate...
"On another note, what I find amazing is that someone (Keith Olbermann) can build an entire career living off and attacking Bill O'Reilly and his success."
Dobermann and Madcow have given Fox News the kind of free advertising that other shows only dream about.
Mike C.,
Even if you wanted to leave comments on those blogs, the leftists have a tendency of purging or censoring all comments they don't agree with. Every time I attempt to post a legitimate comment on a site like MediaMatters, I get the same "because you aren't a regular poster, your comment will appear after review by a moderator". Surprise, surprise, more than half of the time the comments aren't posted. I can't fathom the logic it takes to justify such censorship on sites dedicated to political discourse. I guess the leftists have convinced themselves that because they have "intellectual superiority", deleting and ignoring dissenting arguments is acceptable if they come from a "tea-bagging mouth breathing troglodyte" (a term frequently pointed at me if my comments ever do get posted). They place themselves so far above the conservative-leaning American populous that they don't even think twice about silencing as opposed to arguing with them.
Same goes to Olbermann at his MLB blog. Once it became obvious he had made a serious error with his petty attack on Simmons, the next day a good chunk of the comment posts had mysteriously disappeared.
This type of liberal mentality as a whole must be actively confronted and attacked openly. I see this all the time as a law student, everybody in my Constitutional law classes constantly ridiculing those Americans who believe they can manage their lives better than the Government can dictate them to do. Don't like the fact that some Americans actually want to own a gun for non-hunting or self-defense purposes? Just ignore their existence, and for the few that make themselves vocal, scoff at them for not understanding that government knows best. Are they still making too much noise? Just call them uneducated rednecks not worthy of having a voice in political discourse. What's the final endgame if the public is still making a fuss? Jamming their beliefs down out throats and telling us to deal with "the truth". At no point do they actually confront the idea that their liberal political beliefs should be open to compromise and debate. It's a constant smear and silencing campaign until the public has had a enough and drops the issue.
For a person with the mentality of MK, it doesn't matter that Rush Limbaugh doesn't call himself a news program. Liberals have such a hatred for the people that listen to his show, they just assume they don't posses the intellectual capacity to differentiate between news and opinion. In their mind, if the American people are so stupid that they listen to Rush, why allow them to make their own conclusion about the content of his show. If the liberals have declared that Rush openly holds himself out to be a newscaster, then in their mind he is comparable to Edward R. Olbermann.
Of course, even in this scenario, it doesn't actually deal with anything that Olbermann does or says on his show. But it's a weird type of circular logic that results in them assuming that attacking Rush Limbaugh is a valid defense of Keith Olbermann.
You're not damaging anyone's credibility but your own - and by extension, this website's - by repeatedly referring to Pres. Obama as "The Ape Ruler".
You figure this would be self-evident, but.....apparently not.
Watching Olbermann just confirms my real life experiences that far lefties (like Keith) are just closed-minded irrational fools. They really do live in a world of their own creation where they reign superior over mere mortals (who they must save) and the subhumans, i.e., "right wingers". I don't know what causes this affliction since I'm not a psychologist. It may have roots in childhood or the inability to deal with their latent homosexuality. Or, it may simply be the result of being picked on as a kid, given swirlies by the jocks and rejected by most women as a "creep". This certainly seems to fit Olbermann who's an overgrown douchebag who likely will never grow up during the rest of his pathetic and immature life. I've tried to be reasonable with lefties, in good faith, but it always comes down to one basic reality. They just think we are evil subhumans. Period. They'll humor us, they may pretend to tolerate us, and they may even go through the "social" motions. But deep down, they hate us worse than Hitler hated the Jews. All conservatives, moderates, and free thinkers should not forget this basic fact especially when it comes to a raving lunatic like Keith Olbermann. How do we deal with such people? Not with reason. Not with logic. Not with compassion. We SMASH them. WE attack their sponsers, their corporate underwriting, and the networks who carry their hate speech. Conservatives get suckered in time and time again that they can be "reasonable" with these people. We cannot. They are a cancer on our society and our way of life. We have to treat them like we treat cancer.

Well you obviously are new here, as the only thing self-evident about that comment is that it was wrong. I refer to olbermann as the "Ape Ruler" not Obama, as he reminds me of Dr. Zaius from the "Planet of the Apes" and all his fans as his followers because they remind me of the apes grunting and going along with anything Dr.Zaius says without thinking for themselves.
I'll give you the benefit of the doubt here...although I don't know how you miscued what I said...but just for the record did you go to all those lefty sites condemning them for calling President Bush a gorilla and Hitler? Just curious.

And therein lies the key. Those million or so morons are "defending" Olbermann because in reality, they are defending their similar views.
What is the hardest thing to do for most people? Admit they were wrong. For Olbermann's million or so morons, admitting anything Olbermann does is wrong, means they were wrong for either cheering it on, or worse, believing it. They simply cannot come to grips with this. It's part of the culture they were most likely raised in: they were told they were never wrong, or that they are just a victim. They cannot fix what ailes them, because they cannot admit that Olbermann (and by extension, they) is wrong.
We have another dispatch from the dark netherworld of diseased thinking. Here is the latest from Keith Olbermann's Ego:
http://olbermannsego.blogspot.com/2010/03/its-called-strategy-people.html
"Also are you suggesting that because Olbermann called both Malkin and Limbaugh big bags of mashed up meat that it's somehow ok?"
What I'm asking is, "Why the double standard?"
"Just wow. The whole point of this site is to show that Olbermann is insulting everyone he disagrees with all while being a massive hypocrite and the good people here are specifically saying that's not OK."
That's what Keith Olbermann does. He points out the liars, frauds, and hypocrites and says, "Hey, wait a minute, let's get this straigtened out here." He provides a balanced perspective in a slanted media. He often points out both the Democrat and Republican POV and then proceeds to determine who is right and who is wrong.
"Are you familiar with the phsycological concept of projection, because that is a classical example."
I've heard of the term, yes, though I'm no expert on psychology.
"At least MK is back to where he started when he popped up on day one: Attempting to rationalize Edward R. Olbermann's lies and smears by comparing him to Rush Limbaugh."
Because, somehow, people on the right (except for Michael Savage) get a free pass, while the rest get demonized for saying anything remotely close to what those on the right say.
"It's painfully obvious that whenever the main page has a new entry, he immediately gets his posts in so he doesn't have the stare at the dozens of contradictions we post for him."
My post wasn't even in the first 10. This somehow is an "immediate entry?" Sorry if I don't post when it's convenient for you and I don't necessarily say the talking points that you wanna' hear.
"By 26 on March 10, 2010 11:51 PM"
So now he's "just an entertainer" again?
"(Olbermann) could say ANYTHING no matter how ludicrous, and they not only will believe it but ENDORSE it."
You've got to be kidding me. When was the last time you've heard someone say that KO is "infallible" or that he's "always right?" KO's fans disagree with him from time to time. Just check the Daily Kos every once in a while.
"Every time I attempt to post a legitimate comment on a site like MediaMatters, I get the same "because you aren't a regular poster, your comment will appear after review by a moderator". Surprise, surprise, more than half of the time the comments aren't posted."
Everyone there has that period. I had it myself when I first started posting there. When you have enough posts, this step is bypassed.
"Same goes to Olbermann at his MLB blog. Once it became obvious he had made a serious error with his petty attack on Simmons, the next day a good chunk of the comment posts had mysteriously disappeared."
From what I heard, the community clicked the "report" button, and some MLB Blog mod/admin removed them. I don't know what the comments were, let alone if removing them was appropriate, but that's what I heard.
"but just for the record did you go to all those lefty sites condemning them for calling President Bush a gorilla and Hitler?"
Keith Olbermann did it, not just when it happened to Bush, but to Obama as well. He condemned and denounced such references, calling them over-the-top and inappropriate, and offensive to all those who lived through WWII. Howard Dean did the same thing.
"What is the hardest thing to do for most people? Admit they were wrong."
I've admitted I was wrong before. I even did here on OlbermannWatch of all places.
Speaking of which, when's the last time Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, Glenn Beck, John Gibson, or Ann Coulter admitted they were wrong, even after having proven to be so, by a watchdog group like Media Matters, or a blog like the Daily Kos, or a concerned journalist like Keith Olbermann?
Again, Keith Olbermann provides a sense of balanced to a heavily conservative-biased media. He's not afraid to say it like it is. Whether or not he's the future of journalism in America, that's (IMO) too early to say. Is he the next Edward R. Murrow? I don't know - I've only seen one clip of Murrow, and so I don't really know what he was like.
"Keith Olbermann did it, not just when it happened to Bush"
Like when he compared the Bush administration to the Third Reich? Did he condemn himself for that? Like what he called Bush a 'fascist'? Did he turn around and denounce himself? I must have missed that episode.
"You've got to be kidding me. When was the last time you've heard someone say that KO is "infallible" or that he's "always right?""
Well not infallible, but just the other day I read some commenter here claim that "Look, when Keith-O makes a mistake, the first chance he gets, he corrects his mistake". What's strange is that I listed a quick half dozen examples of Oralmann getting stuff wrong and yet in none of those cases did he correct his mistake. There are dozens and dozens more just on this site. Trying to paint Olby as an honest guy who just gets something wrong and immediately corrects the record is not only disingenous, it's a deliberate attempt to camouflage what Olbermann is: a serial liar.
When did WUSS cash his last payroll check from GE?

Keith Olbermann did it, not just when it happened to Bush, but to Obama as well. He condemned and denounced such references, calling them over-the-top and inappropriate, and offensive to all those who lived through WWII. Howard Dean did the same thing...MKD
You obviously not only are in denial, but to state THIS example as a defense for your Ape Ruler is so sad. Olbermann was the WORST example of this kind of rhetoric that I've ever seen or heard. Yes, long armed one, Dean did denounce it, but he denounced on the Ape Ruler's show because it was the Ape Ruler himself who was the biggest advocate of calling Bush a fascist.
Do you not know anything about your ruler, or do you not want to accept the fact that he is a certifiable liar and phony? I'm sure Johnny Dollar could show you the archive of when this psycho said all these things.
Read the above post by flindycon at 10:34 as he nailed it to what you people are all about. You may learn a lot about yourselve in his short, but to the point post.
Olbermann "denounced and condemned" these actions. Are you alive MKD? You have got to be kidding me. That's it, you have gotten the last response out of me, as you've proven my point beyond anything I could say just with THAT defense of your hero.
You are hopeless and frankly I think it's time to check in and get a sanity test, but I fear you are past the point of ever being sane again.
"Denounced and condemned"...That is just TOO good...
"Is he the next Edward R. Murrow? I don't know -"
The point is the arrogant, self-absorbed, thin-skinned leftist thinks he is and his delusion is laughable.
Olbermann has peaked, he is in decline and has lost any small piece of credibilty he could ever claim to have with the Floyd Abrams Nazi smear. He could get on his knees and personally apologize to Mr. Abrams but the damage is done....Olbermann is a hypocrite, the very definition of hypocrite and an apology will only serve to heal the personal wound he inflicted on the good man. Anyone who gives his reporting or opinion any respect is no better than the ditto-heads the left has derided for the past twenty years.
MKDAWUSS: "I've admitted I was wrong before. I even did here on OlbermannWatch of all places."
When you admit you're wrong you refuse to acknowledge the damage it does to your position on Olbermann as one who:
"provides a balanced perspective in a slanted media. He often points out both the Democrat and Republican POV and then proceeds to determine who is right and who is wrong."
Yes balanced is exactly what I think of when I think of Olbermann and his same old guests week after week who ALWAYS agree with him. If he's so balanced, why is it that his entire show for the vast majority of the time is one long blame game of anyone on the right? Why will he never have those people on his show to question them or allow them to defend or at least qualify what they've said or done? All the people on the right you have mentioned have done the same. What's olbermann's excuse?
Also, are you admitting now that because the media is supposedly so heavily bias in favor of the right, Olbermann can be as unbalanced as he likes? And tell us please, in what way is the media conservative?
MKDAWUSS: "Because, somehow, people on the right (except for Michael Savage) get a free pass"
IS THAT A JOKE!?!? Have you ever heard of Sarah Palin? Were you trapped in a coal mine and somehow missed the full month of manufactured anger over Limbaugh's "I hope he fails" comment and how they distorted what he actually meant? Were you in a coma during the Bush administration?
Not to mention how they still refer to Rush as fat, and continue to use pictures of him when he was fat, even though he's lost a lot of weight.
Of course by "they" you mean everyone except KO since now HE is the extra large one. What goes around comes around.
looks like bathtub boy will be on, he's up on the roof.
Sounds like Olbermann has the camera rolling at the hospital tonight, some prerecorded crap about living wills and how they will save America from the evil Republicans. There was also a sob story about some EMT who chased Olby more than a block after leaving the hospital to thank him for his service to America. Does this EMT actually exist? Olbermann's tendencies to be a lying bastard make me conclude no.
He is also wearing his Football Night in America wind breaker. Thanks for reminding America why we should never watch NBC's Sunday night football come next September.
In regards to what crazy Larry is bitching about tonight, he has put on his serious face regarding the Harry Reid family car crash and is essentially saying "let's pass this thing for Harry". Some line about how America now owes Mr. Reid "a happy day" after his family was almost killed this afternoon. Hey MSNBC, politicians aren't entitled to anything, regardless of the amount of personal tragedy in their lives. I pray for the health of Majority Leader Reid's family, but it's sickening that the left constantly use stories of tragedy to jam their agenda down America's throat.
You know, MK, I almost thought you weren't getting a fair shake, but then you have to go and blow it. Dodge the substance of a person's remarks and play the deflection game. Attempt to excuse Olbermann's behavior by deflecting the attention to Rush, or Beck, or whomever else, but the simple fact is this site isn't about them.
So stop the deflections onto those "evil conservatives" in the media.
I will be the first to admit commentators on both sides of the political spectrum say dumb things. I don't hold any conservative commentator above reproach when they say something stupid.
I can admit that Hannity, and Rush, and Beck are opinion shows mostly (although they at least have the courage to debate).
I can admit that Rush, and Beck, and Hannity, and Levin, and so on are opinion shows.
The real problem is you think Olbermann is balanced, you think he is a journalist. You think Olbermann is "the news." He is none of those things.
And saying that the media is conservatively biased, just. makes. me. laugh.
And as to the whole Sick Dr. Ape Ruler comment which I assume was meant to imply calling a black man anything ape is inherently racist is ridiculous.
Like when a delegate says that children playing around trees are acting like monkeys, it has little to do with their color, but more about how they are acting. Monkeys live in trees... etc...
Why am I even bothering...
The EMT chased him down cause KO didn't pay at the snackbar and tried to welch out. Or maybe he wanted some Roscos's Chicken n Waffles.
It did seem like crazy Larry was saying "Lets pass it for Harry" much like these idiots are saying, "Do it for Teddy." Well "Fredo" is dead and "Moe Green" is 'bout on his way out of his majority leader seat.
I don't buy him getting chased down by an EMT. Duh, living will's have been here for a long time. It's up to the person jackass. The other things you can put on the back of your drivers license, organ donors, etc.
That's just common sence, Suzi Orman talks about it all the time. Just cause Bathtub Boy talks about doesn't mean it's going to push sales.
Quit bringing up photos of "Theo", yeah we're glad he opened his eyes, but stop bringing him out only for your own pretence.
Yet he finds the time to bash Limbaugh, you're an idiot. Quoting Cohen, haha, Keith you're no more a Yankee Doodle Dandy than the pope is. Give it up. HC is gone. Even if it does pass, the Republicans will tear it all up once we get Obama out in 2 yrs.
I'm calling BULLSHIT! I don't think any EMT would care who Keith is. I doubt any EMT would chase him down to talk about living wills. And I doubt that Keith has been in his dad's hospital room everyday since his 'vacation' started (spring training anyone?).
Keith is a phony.
And as to the whole Sick Dr. Ape Ruler comment which I assume was meant to imply calling a black man anything ape is inherently racist is ridiculous....26
I refer to olbermann as the "Ape Ruler" not Obama, as he reminds me of Dr. Zaius from the "Planet of the Apes" and all his fans as his followers because they remind me of the apes grunting and going along with anything Dr.Zaius says without thinking for themselves.
So for all you new posters here, please read each comment made carefully before you begin to defend or attack the comment.
I never have, nor will I ever lower myself by demeaning President Obama with personal attacks. I disagree with most of his policies, but unlike the far left and especially the Ape Ruler who showed his true colors with his vicious anti-American lying attacks on President Bush, I have much more respect for the POTUS and my country to ever disrespect someone who is the leader of the best country in the world.
Ape Ruler/ Dr. Zaius>>>OLBERMANN
I agree, I think he came in long enough to film a spot to let people know he's 'round. He knew he was busted by being online posting MLB blogs, bitching at sportswriters, etc.
That "ramble" he did tonight was just horrible...but we've learned to expect that from this idiot.
I gotta' say this: Keith looked EXHAUSTED
You can tell that his father's illness is really taking a toll on him. Hopefully he's eating and sleeping like he's supposed to, but I wouldn't be surprised if he isn't.
I don't know - would he have been better off waiting until the whole ordeal with his father was over? The updates were nice, the message was important, and he even had a little moment where he did his usual calling-out on people , but....
Boy MKDAWUSS, I'll bet your a hoot where you work.
When I heard about Reid's family "accident" I wondered how long it would take for someone to try to use it to push Obamacare..just like KO exploiting his poor Father..but like KO's father the Reid family medical problems have nothing to do with Obamacare..in fact let's ask Reid if he would trade his medical insurance for what he wants to force on the rest of us...as for KO he really must be p#ssed that his Father isn't dead yet so he can rush back to TV to use his corpse to exploit. New Murrow indeed,
What I'm asking is, "Why the double standard?"
Can you clarify what you mean by double standard? Is it the double standard that it is ok to call a man, ie. Limbaugh, a mashed upo bag of meat but not a woman, ie. Malkin? Or is it the double standard of calling out Olbermann for his outlandish remarks and not Limbaugh? Or is it a thrid option I haven't listed?
That's what Keith Olbermann does. He points out the liars, frauds, and hypocrites and says, "Hey, wait a minute, let's get this straigtened out here." He provides a balanced perspective in a slanted media. He often points out both the Democrat and Republican POV and then proceeds to determine who is right and who is wrong.
Balanced? Both outs both sides? Have you ever actually watched his show? February 2010 Olbermann had on 59 democratic politicians, strategists and liberals and 0 (that's zero!) republican politicians, startegists and conservatives. January 2010 Olbermann had on 53 democratic politicians, strategists and liberals and 0 (that's zero!) republican politicians, startegists and conservatives. December 2009 Olbermann had on 51 democratic politicians, strategists and liberals and 0 (that's zero!) republican politicians, startegists and conservatives. November 2009 Olbermann had on 46 democratic politicians, strategists and liberals and 0 (that's zero!) republican politicians, startegists and conservatives. October 2009 Olbermann had on 48 democratic politicians, strategists and liberals and 0 (that's zero!) republican politicians, startegists and conservatives.
Do you see a pattern there? Olbermann is the single most lopsided and biased member of any media outside Venezuela. How can you possibly delude yourself into thinking he is presenting both sides of an issue, or do you agree with Keith and what's his name from Florida, Grayson or something, that the republican plan is really to "die quickly"?

I understand. My intent was not to defend your remark, but question the reason for Sick Dr's attack on it in the first place, understanding full well he misunderstood to whom it was referring.
Keith no more looked exhausted than he did going up the stairs. He was up on a roof and freezing that will make anyone look tired. Granted, he probably had the make up person get him to look all pale as compared to his normal look.
It was just another pathetic chance to speak 'bout Health Care and how he thinks people just run up to him like he's some "beacon" for the people to tell him how great he is.
No one here and even at KOS think that some EMT ran him down over a block to tell him about Living Wills. If he had a patient he was taking say to therapy what would they say? I'd fire his ass if I found out he went off down the road to talk to someone, let alone a hack personality.
And that "oh my Dad opened his eyes" then the photo again of "Theo", please. Then at the end quoting of course Cohen, probably cause he noticed that I mentioned it and knew he'd get in trouble, not that he's already in hot water right now as it is, what with Abrams Dad and a bunch demanding an apology for his statements a few weeks ago.
Just watched Olby's Komment. Now, I usually do not praise Olbermann but he did give people some good advice about living wills and how to go about it.
But the whole speech was completely blown up for 2 reasons:
1) "Accosted by an EMT"...give me an f-ing break. Just make your point without stroking your own ego. So this EMT saw you walking down the street, pulled his ambulance to the side of the street and chased after you for over a block?
2) Can this man ever make a statement without throwing in a smear? Why bring up Rush Limbaugh at all? OK, I can overlook the EMT thing but you why would you ruin perfectly good advice by juvenile name calling? Is it to appease the kids at the Daily Rag or is there something in your DNA that states, "I must smear"?
I'll admit...you had me Keith. I was in a generous mood and you started off really well and then.....BOOM, the old Olby I know came to life and f*cked it all up.
Well done
Olby-related quote from a blog entry that I came across this morning:
http://thehaternation.blogspot.com/2010/03/weak-ender-thns-dating-service.html
THERE WAS a big pillow fight between former ESPN employee Keith Olbermann and the Sports Dork, Bill Simpson. The Sports Dork made some sort of ill-advised remark about Tiger Woods' potential comeback, ignorantly saying it would be tougher than what Ali went through after he skipped the Vietnam War.
But if Olbermann made a comment every time that the Dork said something, he would not have enough time to do his own show. And in this war of words, Olbermann clearly outclassed Simpson, who showed that he was illequipped to engage in any sort of meaningful discussion that involved any sort of original thought outside of regurgitating Karate Kid quotes.
The Sports Dork has always been shown to be somewhat of a buffoon, who rarely writes while thinking and whose social commentary has been retarded by excessive 90210 rerun viewings.
This obviously will do nothing to stall Simpson's popularity with the morons who read his ESPN columns and download his podcasts, but it was nice to see him eviscerated by somebody who carries some media clout and credibility. So while I do not always agree with Olbermann, I found myself cheering him on this week.
WUSS,
WTF is Bill Simpson??? Did you mean O.J. Simmons??? I don't know who you are referring to, but then you never let facts get in the way of your posts.
