    Olbermann Watch, "persecuting" Keith since 2004

    You-know-who to change the subject in 3, 2, 1...

    Ha, this proves the point I've been making for quite some time, it is more clear each day that this self proclaimed intellectual is nothing more than a mindless liberal, with the IQ of a filing cabinet. So, add being not a very smart person, to a coward and liberal, and you get, Mr. Olbermann...

    What I really love about this, is that he was attempting to make a tasteless Nazi joke at the same time as bashing a member of the Tea Party. But he forgot the obvious, that in order for a joke to be funny (or relative) then the preface should at least be accurate.

    And what I really, really love about this, is the fact that I'm sure by now he's aware of this example of his stupidity and is desperately trying to think of a way to cover his tracks by finding a way to talk about how the Ark of the Covenant is somehow linked to animals. You know this is just eating him up...

    Normally you give someone a pass for this sort of thing. If someone says something stupid, you give em a pass.

    But with the way Olbermann constantly impugns and mocks other people's intelligence for minor gaffes, he deserves absolutely no mercy.

    I just LOVE MessNBS and the Circus...

    ...you can see clowns working at either place.

    That man is an idiot.

    I agree...normally you give someone a pass for a minor error but not Olby. He deserves all of the criticism because his show is basically pointing out minor gaffes.

    I would be extremely surprised if he revisited this error in an attempt to cover his ass but knowing Olby and his giant ego you never know.

    As the Olbsession occasionally tells e-mailers: "No nitpicking." Of course, Olbermoronn will never take that advice.

    It will take weeks for Olby to get this one cause Johnny had to throw the cartoon in at the end.

    Learnings fun, lol

    Comment on #3. Nice trick Olby. You twist support of the Arizona Immigration law into Latino approval for the president. You never asked Latino support for the law. Good trick, too bad it's so transparent, it's laughable.

    And olby brings up MISSION ACCOMPLISHED once more. Oh how we missed you.


    No, that's not tears coming from the masses that the regular TV season is over, it's time for your daily update on the ratings for morons crowd..... TEE TIME!!!!! (what can I say, I've got a golf fetish).

    Attack on James O'Keefe. Tries to make this watergate II again, doesn't work. Give it up Keith.

    Olby takes offense from the judge calling O'Keefe a 'journalist'. Hey Keith, he's more of a jouranlist than you.

    Like that rash that won't go away until you go the the doctor, IT'S THE WPITW ABSTRACT.

    Bronze: Kevin McCarthy and Mike Pence: for something about listening. I wasn't paying attention.

    Silver: Rick Perry for using stimulus money after saying he wouldn't. meh.

    GOLD: BECK-O!!!!! For 'attacking' Obama's 'Family'. Hey Keith, Lou Dobbs called, he thinks your a hypocritical bastard, so do I.

    ANOTHER AWARD WINNING COUNTDOWN TO COMCAST KICKING THIS FRAKKER ON HIS ASS.

    Also brings up guy writing Palin book moving next to Palin, Kieth sees nothing wrong about it. Wonder if Keith felt the same way about code pink protesting in front of former President Bush's Crawford Ranch? And I bring up Lou Dobbs again! It seems on Olby Planet, only the famileis of the left shouldn't be involved. This exempts Bristol, Willow and the rest of the Palin clan.

    Ann Coulter goes after Keithy poo again.

    COULTER: "What do you think of Keith Olberman?" and "I think he's a girl.">>

    http://tinyurl.com/3ynaq8y

    Part of my excerpt went awry. Anyway, it's question#11 in the linked article.

    MKDAWUSS? Hello?

    I didn't think so.

    I know you're reading Olbermann. How does it feel to be this big of a hypocrite?

    The "Countdown" page is taking forever to post video from tonight. So, I have to--gasp--watch the show as it airs on MSNBC. I would've been watching "Alison Rosen is Your New Best Friend" on UStream, but apparently that was on earlier than normal tonight.

    For OlbyFans spying on us, I go to the show page to look at the guests listed in the video preview panes. Since March, I've been tracking who the guests are each weeknight to document the guests that show up more than once in a given week. Also, O'Reilly Attacks get my attention because he's going after my guy.
    From watching with the sound off, here's what I can say:
    #5A: Grilling BP. Howie Fineman for the second time this week.
    #5B: That Steiner guy for the second night in a row.

    Wait a minute. This is Monday's show re-airing!!! Never mind.

    I, sir, am an idiot...in this case.

    Maybe he was at the Mets-Phils game at Citi Field and Crazy Larry couldn't fill in?

    Was tonight really a repeat? Recently I have just been flipping over to see if he's sitting in his chair. If it was a repeat then that is the first mia show for the month if I am correct. Only 4 days left in the month and Olby couldn't make it.

    It was a repeat. Here's how I reached that conclusion: Fineman, live shot of spill, Steiner, live shot continues. It took me a few minutes. I thought MSNBC.com was just being lax. No wonder they didn't post new video.

    Probably sitting in the tub lamenting over his Ark of Covenant gaffe.

    "Probably sitting in the tub lamenting over his Ark of Covenant gaffe."

    Isn't that the M.O.? Shit hits the fan and it's off to the tub.

    Keith's commentary rife with snark
    But he forgot to fact-check the ark
    What a freakin' tool
    The consummate fool
    All his colleagues call him "skid mark"

    He must have been crying after reading my "WPITW abstract" for tonight. Either that or MSNBC executives must have been pissed at the Sister Sarah tonight.

    Cause, I don't think he really gives a damn about the Ark comment. He's never owned up to any gaffe before, why this one, why now?

    Has Olby covered the Joe Sestak allegations or has he swept it under the rug like most of the MSM?

    That's not Barack Obama being stumped by the press, it's your daily update on the ratings in the hole crowd..... TEE TIME!

    Another Sue Louden attack. How many this week? Just because you smeared Sarah Palin and she lost the election doesn't mean it will always work. Watch it backfire and she beats Harry within a inch of his life.

    Anywho. It's a lame tweet from a Olby lover. And it's who Olby is thinking who should represent the tea party. Airs a 'gotcha' interview.

    YAWN!

    I hope Keith has a dream where he's a chicken and he's been deep fried and eaten by Sue Louden.

    No more good TV until Setember, unless you count Flashpoint and Wipeout, IT'S THE WPITW ABSTRACT

    Bronze: Newt-O: For misspeaking about bailouts.

    Silver: Kevin Skenhart: A baseball exc. For a garden gnome who looked like a lawn jockey. I don't know if this is the right forum for this but a) garden gnomes are supposed to be ugly and B), my sister wants a lawn jockey for her front lawn. My brother in law said "OVER MY DEAD BODY"! Just a strange story.

    GOLD: That Indiana congressman who got caught cheating for saying he was quiting anyway. I wonder why that didn't send Olby to the tub?

    Another award winning countdown to Keith's four day Memorial day weekend soak in the tub.

    Or do you think he'll actually show up Friday?

    Just letting you all know I'm giving up keeping track of the guests each night starting tonight.

    This week's Olby Week in Review from The Daily Caller features another Great Moment in Olbypocrisy:
    "THURSDAY, MAY 27: On Monday morning, Bill O'Reilly made a joke on 'Fox & Friends' about creatively plugging the hole in the ocean floor: 'I thought that they — basically, in the very beginning — should stuff every member of NBC News in that hole,' O'Reilly joked. For that riff, Olbermann piously declared him the Worst Person in the World."

    Interrupting The DC's Ruth Graham for a moment, here is the pious attack: "Maybe we should listen, Bill, because based on the Andrea Mackris [Ding!] lawsuit [Ding!], I gathered that you were the expert on unsuccessful attempts to stuff things into holes."

    Back to OWiR: "Flash forward to Thursday, and Olbermann is sitting at his anchor chair chatting with guest Michio Kaku. Discussing one fanciful plan for a cleanup of the spill, Olbermann said 'One would think that would be alternative to stuffing old tires into it. Perhaps old BP executives could be of some use here.'
    In other words, he made the exact same joke he had excoriated O'Reilly for just three days ago. Although, to be fair, Keith Olbermann demonstrating extraordinary [Olbypocrisy] is a 'dog bites man' story, too."

    We are literally, dreadfully sorry.

    I don't believe it, Olby is in tonight. Thought the news of Gary Coleman would send him right to the tub.

    Do a proper Worst Persons abstract at the right time.

    Olby just gave a scolding to King Obama for his (in)actions in the Gulf. Sounded like he gave Obama cover.

    WOW! Finally, Keith is talking about Sestak. Says it's no big deal, that republicans are using 'puffery', making it out more than what it is. Just remember, if this was George HW Bush asking a congressman to do the same for a job in his son's white house, Olby would be bitching louder than anyone (and people would still not hear him). So Olby does a Officer Barbaby (move along, nothing to see here). Wolffeman nods in agreement like a bobblehead doll.

    That's not Rachel Maddow looking stupid and overly manly, its your nightly check up on the bath tub for morons crowd..... TEE TIME! (really, I should be a comedy writer).

    WORST:

    Bronze: Peggy Noonan for attacking EPA offical while the gulf burns.

    Silver: George W. Bush- And using a Oliver Stone movie as a source? Nuff said.

    GOLD; BECK-O!!!!!! For 'mocking' Obama's daughter for Obama's stupid comment about his daughter asking him if "he plugged the hole". Which is a 100x kinder than what left does to the Palins. Hey Keith, Lou Dobbs, GWB and Sarah Palin all called. They think you're the pot calling the kettle black.

    Another AWARD WINNING COUNTDOWN TO THE INDY 500. I'm rooting for Dario Francini, not becasue I like him, cause Ashley Judd is his wife and if he wins, she'll get drenched in champane and milk too. Yummy.

    Oh, dear god! Another Fridays with Thurber. He draws too? Jesus! I drew better in my first grade art class! But what do I know, I think dog playing poker and velvet Elvis is high art.

    Well, unless any flashes of inspiration come to me, I'm off til tuesday. Happy and safe Memorial Day, guys.

    "GOLD; BECK-O!!!!!! For 'mocking' Obama's daughter for Obama's stupid comment about his daughter asking him if "he plugged the hole". Which is a 100x kinder than what left does to the Palins. Hey Keith, Lou Dobbs, GWB and Sarah Palin all called. They think you're the pot calling the kettle black."

    Oh, really?

    1: When was the last time KO went after someone's children?
    2: What Beck did was worse than what Letterman did, and the outrage is significantly less. Where's the SCLM?

    WOW! My first MKDAWUSS attack. Olbermann has went after the families of Sarah Palin, Lou Dobbs and most famously when on his show David Shuster (remember him guys) said that Hillary was pimping out Chelsea. On Olby planet, the kids of democrats are off limits, but for those on the right, it's open season.

    Sorry, I was laughing my ass off and spitting up Cherry Coke Zero on my keyboard I didn't read #2. My bad.

    Beck mocked a child. What Letterman did is aleged child molestation. Letterman is worse.

    Just call me Pope Tardsmack the First.

    I know what Letterman said, but what did Beck say?

    "I know what Letterman said, but what did Beck say?"

    It's the lead story on Media Matters.

    You might want to see what Glenn Beck had to say on his TV show today:
    http://video.foxnews.com/v/4218368/african-american-founders/
    http://video.foxnews.com/v/4217847/founders-friday-extra/
    I know, *I'm* changing the subject. Back what *you* said: since it's the lead story on MM, it was probably Olby's source for the attack. I bet his did it with a serious tone and without insulting nicknames and references to some Andy Griffith movie.

    Oops, a typo. This man is an idiot.

    Well I guess the side that defends NAMBLA, Roman Polanski, Kevin "the 'safe' school czar" Jennings, etc. would think that was worse than what Letterman said.

    To me that whole segment sounded like he was calling Obama a liar. What ELEVEN YEAR OLD girl asks such a simple and childish question? Sounds like he's using his children as political leverage.

    Yesterday when Empore Obama had his press confrence, Obama said his daughter comes into to the bathroom and ask "Daddy, did you plug the hole, yet?" It was stupid of Obama to do it, it makes him look foolish.

    Well, Glenn used a high pitched voice for the Obama daughter and made fun of Obama. It was childish but funny. Remember on Olby planet, there is no comedy unless it's from unfunny writers who've been dead for almost 50 years.

    BREAKING NEWS

    "OLBAMA ADMINISTRATION HIRES GREGORY HINES AND SAVION GLOVER"

    When asked why Hines and Glover were brought on David Axlerod said, "After watching the President's performance in Thursdays press conference, it was decided that it would be easier to just hire two black guys who could really Tap Dance and take pressure off the Presidnet."

    DETAILS AT ELEVEN

    Just for the record. I CALLED IT! Dario Francini won the indy 500. Too bad he's still known as Mr. Ashley Judd.

    A Michigan lawmaker wants journalists to be licensed. (Michigan? Why I'm not suprised)
    "Senator Bruce Patterson is introducing legislation that will regulate reporters much like the state does with hairdressers, auto mechanics and plumbers," reported FoxNews.com Friday.
    "Patterson, who also practices constitutional law, says that the general public is being overwhelmed by an increasing number of media outlets--traditional, online and citizen generated--and an even greater amount misinformation."
    According to the bill, folks wanting to be considered as reporters would have to provide proof of:
    --"Good moral character” and demonstrate they have industry “ethics standards acceptable to the board.”
    (does dating a woman half your age count as "ethics standards acceptable?"
    --Possession of a degree in journalism or other degree substantially equivalent.
    (Cornell Cow?)
    --Not less than 3 years experience as a reporter or any other relevant background information.

    (Keithy has three years experience of being a asshole.)
    --Awards or recognition related to being a reporter.

    (Keith's screwed there!)
    --Three or more writing samples.

    (does his blog posts at Kos count?)


    Well, the "good moral character" clause certainly eliminates most of the usual suspects.
    That said, interested parties are already lining up against the bill:
    Critics say the proposed law will stem press freedoms and is bound to be politicized with disgruntles politicians going after reporters who don’t paint them in a positive light. They say that adding members of the so-called fourth estate to the list of government regulated occupations would likely be found unconstitutional.
    “It’s misguided and it’s never going to fly,” said Kelly McBride, media ethics expert, the Poynter Institute. She is currently involved in a project examining the transformation of the journalism profession.
    In response to the proposed legislation, Glenn Reynolds opined Sunday:
    How about requiring that all sitting legislators pass a test on the constitution? And maybe an IQ test, too . . . .
    Now THAT'S a bill I could get behind.
