Johnny, can we give up on the premise of calling Frum a 'conservative'? That horse left the barn long ago.

Tried to watch tonight, had to change channel after the first minute. I know there are plenty of legitimate reasons to criticize this man-child, but I have to get petty-

My God man, pause and swallow your some spit every now and then. You sound like you are drowning or being waterboarded. Not only is he unwatchable now he is unlistenable.

Screw KO, I'm watching Hell's Kitchen.

KO-that man is an idiot

Keith is venturing into Art Bell territory with #3. The footage of the capped oil well is faked? WTF?

Two day free health clinic? I though Obama care solved all death, Keith.

No that's not your bladder waking you up at 3am (conveniently enough just in time for Red Eye), it's your daily report on bidets for a-holes..... TEE TIME!!!!

Making fun of our founding fathers. I guess they aren't metro enough. Bashes Liberty Leaders and all Tea Partiers. Keith has no respect (neither does Rick Maddow) for any opinions counter to his own. Mom and Dad should be proud, if they weren't in hell.

Get out your vacumn cleaners and slop buckets, it's the WPITW abstract!

Bashes beck in a fake ad.

Bronze: Tom Shales again for bashing Christine Amapour- same attack as yesterday. Why attack a fellow leftie Keithy? So Keith bashes Shales for a double down? The move Keith invented? Guess he was pissed that Shales didn't cut him a check.

Silver: Mark Teason- Doesn't like Wiki Leaks, wants to kidnap the wiki leaks asshole. so do I. Kill him.

GOLD: Jason Brown- for robbing her date. And then eating at the olive garden. Damn son, when you rob somebody you don't celebrate at Olive Garden, you go high class. I'm talkin' Red Lobster!!

As for #1. Sharron is asking approval for questions the press asks her? What makes that different from what democrats do when they pre-screen any "town hall meetings"? Heck Obama's "THMs" are pre-screened like crazy. In fact what makes what Sharron does any different from what Keith does? At least Sharron is honest about it, unlike Olby.

Another award winning countdown to Sharron Angle living rent free in Olby's head.

I'm sorry MSNBC ... If Keith Olbermann is the BEST that you can do in providing any serious commentary on the "even the most left' interpretation of the Government or the News ... then I really have to stop watching MSNBC. I try to view and consider aspects from each point of view, thus my viewing of both sides. But the really "weird" commentary and completely contrived portrayals of truth by this man are more times silly than serious as it should be. Is this REALLY how you want to portray your view of the left side of politics?

Goodbye July and hello August!

January: 18 out of 20 days worked
February: 18 out of 20 days worked
March: 4 out of 23 days worked
April: 19 out of 22 days worked
May: 19 out of 20 days worked
June: 21 out of 22 days worked
July: 12 of 21 days worked

Of course holidays not counted and to be generous I counted his Shirley Sherrod Special Komment as a work day.

I'm still trying to see how Charlie Rangel and Maxine Waters are being hammered with numerous Congressional investigations because they're black...

In addition MSNBC (if any of you read this blog) ... Ed Schultz is no better. I've never heard so much "hate-talk" and blustering by anyone on TV. "Slant Head" Sean Hannity ... "The Drugster" Rush Limbaugh ... "Turd Blossom" Carl Rove ... the list goes on and is disgusting to a serious viewer. What is it with your need to be so juvenile? Are you a percieved alternative to FOX or just a junior-high parody?

Need I continue?

NOTE of CORRECTION: I'm sorry MSNBC ... I should have said "self-percieved alternative" because it seems you have less integrity than most of the people who watch your Network for viable arguments or answers. WAKE UP and provide someone who gives "Food for thought" not ridicule and school-boy theatrics.

You NEED to stop moving the goalposts and wasting our time. Haggis and Carol Carty say hello from J$P.

"Bathtub Boy"
"Hillary Rotten Clinton"
"Stretch Pelosi"
"Dianne Frankenfeinstein"
"Lindsey Grahamnesty"

Aren't those Mark Levin sayings? What does that have to do with anything?

Yes ... Hello MKDAWUSS ... Those are names I've seen on THIS blog. Not quite the same venue. Should we draw the conclusion that MSNBC follows the same rules as "Saturday Night Live"? I'm sorry, I don't look to them for serious commentary.

I'm still trying to see how Charlie Rangel and Maxine Waters are being hammered with numerous Congressional investigations because they're black...

SOMEONE CALL SECURITY!!! WUSSY'S ACCOUNT HAS BEEN COMPROMISED!!!

Segment 1: Aptly titled "Constitution, I hardly knew ye"
Apparently Lindsey Graham, John Kyle and John McCain have called for the repeal of the 14th amendment, Olby's proof? Well, none really, but who needs proof? What is the truth? Those three have asked for congressional review on what the language of the 14th amendment means. Apparently Olby thinks the 14th amendment reads as "All persons born or naturalized in the United States . . . are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside". Anyone besides me see the problem (I'm sure you don't MCDAWUSS)? Well let me enlighten (without heat! don't want anyone getting toasty) "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside". That's right! There's an "and" in there! Does Keith ". . ." Olbermann know the difference between "and" and "or"? Does he know what the definition of "is" is? I speculate, you decide.

For more on segment 1 let's go with me on a journey to stupidity. You see the 14th amendment, according to Obly, was written to deal with slaves. Today we have no slaves. Ergo you would think that the 14th amendment no longer has meaning. Or does Olby think that illegal immigrants are really slaves? Or is this the left once again rewriting history to change the purpose of the 14th amendment? Olby lies, you can decide if you want.

Next on the list for segment 1 is Olby using the infalibility of the court to say "Look, the court says it effects immigrants and the court can't be wrong!" in the same segment that he attacks the court for the Dredd Scott descision. Olby hypocriticizes, you can start laughing if it wasn;t so sad (and look i made a verb out of hypocrite, oh Olby won't you tweet me a twitter?)

Am I done yet? Unfortunately no as Olby becomes a birther! That's right, McCain is not a citizen because he was born on an army base in Panama and Romney is not a citizen because his grandfather once lived in Mexico. Olby becomes unglued, you get the dry heaves.

More! How is this possible, oh right we are talking about Olby, we could go on all night. Turly shows up and starts talking about the King's Land Law. I suppose that Hamurabi's Code, the Ten Commandments and the Magna Carta are all valid alternatives also. I mean why use the Constitution when discussing American law when we have so many other non-relevant sources to rely on? Olby obfuscates, you should probably check your pulse if you watch Countdown.

Please tell me this will be over soon. I can only hope. Olby brings up some hack congressman who says that the 14th amendment should cover immigrants. Turly brings up the fact that the author said it should not. Who gets more weight with Olby, the author or the no-name hoople head? Olby goes with the inconsequential, you get the joy of reading the crap I am writing.

P.S. If you disagree with Olby you are a racsist

Segment 2: Ethics? Ethics! We don't need no stinkin' Ethics (because ethics are racist!)
Damn it! I mean DAMN IT! 19 months have gone by and still, STILL!, that a-hole is causing problems! How is it that the most ignorant man to ever hold the office of President of the United States of America was able to set up a system where ninteen months after leaving office he would be able to tear apart the Democratic party with RAAACISST! ethics charges againt Maxine Waters and Charlie Rangle? Will we ever be able to escape the land mines left behind by the evil George Bush? Olby gets deranged, you get to laugh.

Let's go to Eugene Robinson for his take: "Everyone does it so the only reason to pick on these two people is RAAACISSSMMM!!" Oh, and it's George Bush's fault too. I mean, I'm no statitician, so what other reason could there possible be that the black members of congress are being picked on? Could it be that the are the ones breaking the rules? Olby plays the Eugene card, you get to be called a racist.

P.S. I realize I spell racist wrong a lot, I only do it hoping that one day Olby will tweet what a dumbass I am for my misspelt words.

Oddball: As in not even, cause Olby only has one testical (which he keeps in his nightstand)
Buy an anti-BP tee-shirt! My guess is that they are either infringing on copywrite laws or else a scam. If Olby's involved I'll bet on both.

Other then that it's oddball, who really cares?

"I'm still trying to see how Charlie Rangel and Maxine Waters are being hammered with numerous Congressional investigations because they're black..."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey WUSS...why do you post the same identical question here AND at the Daily Kooks? I'm sure you will get the answer you are looking for over there in the bizzaro world...you know, because it's racist, right?

Pewp? You forgot that Barney "The Butt" Frank has been implicated in the Maxine Waters mess. Who would have known. Not only are ethics are racist, they're homophobic too.

A better discussion on the 14th Amendment can be found here with the Olbsession and two credible attorneys.

I didn't know about Frank. Last thing I had heard about Frank was his ranting that gay clubs don't honor AARP cards.

And yes, that previous sentence is serious. If that alone isn't reason to love America I don't know what is.

It's the same song and dance every night
No conservatives ever in sight
We've been keeping track
The political hack
Is afraid of those from the right

Heard it on the War Room with Quinn and Rose.

Segment 3: Birth of the capper
I'll say capper sounds stupid but not as stupid as Olby saying the video is faked. Does Olby also belive the moon landing was faked? Was 9/11 a government job? Where's the birth certificate? Olby conspiracizes, you get to rot your brain.

Static kill!?!? How dare they! Doesn't BP know that they can't stop this leak untill after the elections? I mean Dems need this as a talking point. Olby really seems pissed off that BP is trying everything it can to cap the well. Bob Cavnar showed up to agree that BP is trying to hard. Also makes the outrageous statement that Corexit is more toxic then the oil, something the EPA would disagree with. Olby blah blah blah, you get tired of me doing this.

Tea Time!: Where's my swizzle stick?
Some guy fires another guy. I guess Olby feels sympathetic since he sees the writing on the MSNBC bathroom walls. Olby fears for his job, you get to see him sweat.

Segment 4: Worse Segment in the World!
Fortunately for you syvyn already handled this so you can skip right ahead to whatever comes next. If you don't want to then let me ask, why does Keith use rendition instead of extradition when talking about Marc Thiessen. I know that extradition is rendition but why do you have to use the more inflamatory word rendition? Olby panders to the base, you feel a need to spit in his face (well maybe not but I thought you would like a rhyme)

Segment 5: Angle-ing for his DNC masters
Quick, who said: "Very rarely did we communicate through the press anything that we didn't absolutely control" and "so that what the voters heard we determined, as opposed to some editor in a TV station"? Was it Sharon Angle? If you watch Olby thinking he's not full of crap then most likely yes. If you have more then two brain cells (do you qualify MCDAWUSS?) you would know this came from Obama's communication's director. Did Olby have a problem with things like: "Whether it was a David Plouffe video or an Obama speech, a huge part of our press strategy was focused on making the media cover what Obama was actually saying as opposed to why the campaign was saying it" and "One of the reasons we did so many of the David Plouffe videos was not just for our supporters, but also because it was a way for us to get our message out without having to actually talk to reporters. ... We just put that out there and made them write what Plouffe had said as opposed to Plouffe doing an interview with a reporter. So it was very much we controlled it as opposed to the press controlled it"

So in Olby world using, yes USING, the media to raise campaign funds is horrible but controlling the media to get BHO elected is not worth a comment. Only ignores, you can go to bed now.

Rendition makes Keithy sound smarter than he actually is. Sort of like that Dryfuss affair stuff he sprouted off when he did his 'special comment' about Mrs. Sherrod.

When you bring up the Dreyfus Affair, I immediately think of Glenn Beck and Pat Gray aptly mocking Keithy's Komment two weeks ago.

For once, I actually am slightly sympathetic towards one of Olbermann's policy stances. We conservatives have constantly advocated for originalism and a strict reading of the actual text of the Constitution. We rightfully reject liberals assertions that the 2nd Amendment isn't relevant anymore and that the Commerce Clause is catch-all for expanding the federal government. So why are we now supposed to believe that the intent of the 14th Amendment to only cover slaves during the Reconstruction era somehow supersedes the text of the Amendment? It reeks of hypocrisy to reject the the liberal claim that the Constitution is a living and ever-evolving document, but then turn around and state that the 14th Amendment isn't relevant in today's world.

What is so difficult to understand about the sentence "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside"? Many conservatives get caught up on the "jurisdiction thereof" language, but the original authors and log of Congressional debate makes it clear it was added to exclude foreign dignitaries/ambassadors. In other words, if you are subject to the laws of the United States and the state you currently reside in, then the naturalized citizenship provision applies.

I'm fine with the GOP going back and attempting to amend the Constitution via the clearly outlined procedures required. However, it really makes me question the GOP's policy of strict interpretation of the Constitution when so many conservative politicians and media heads want to suddenly argue that we can't take the language of the 14th Amendment at face value. We haven't even voted them back into power yet, and it appears so many of them are willing to spit on the language of the Constitution.

It is all about the money, HoneySmacks. Illegals use anchor babies to get a foothold into this country and then raise said kids to think of Mexico first and send money to their poor relatives.

Or when they travel across the border looking for a decent job that should be reserved for Americans or immigrants that are here legally, they send whatever extra money that they earn, usually under the table, south to their relatives.

To the point, most illegals see the US as a way to get rich quick and send all of the money down south across the border.

To HoneySmacks:

The authors of the 14th amendment did not intend to have it cover non-immigrant foreigners in the US, and this means illegal immigrants are not covered, after all by being illegal you were default not under US jurisdiction. The supreme court case in 1898 ruled that children of legal immigrants to the US, even if they were not yet citizens, were under the 14th legal citizens, the court decision did not address illegals. It wasn't until 1980's that the court decided that illegal children also were given citizenship under the 14th.

To say that it is hypocritical to review the courts decision on the 14th is just not true. Many times in our history has the supreme court made a ruling that the legislatures then went back and changed, after all it was Dredd Scott that led to the 14th amendment.

This is a side note but I have not actually heard anyone calling for the repeal of the 14th. I know the libs and Olby claim people are but then they play clips of repubs calling for hearings on the 14th's meaning. The libs are obviously obfuscating the issue to hide their lies on what repubs really want.

I am new to this site. Have been reading for a long time. I was finally able to sign in after a year of trying. I love how Keith says Fox News is a propaganda machine. Has he ever watched his show let alone his network. You don't even have to be a psychic to know what topics are going to be discussed on his show that night. I love how Rachel and Keith go to the White House and meet with Obama. Then say Well Bush did it. Okay Fox News is a propaganda machine and got their talking points from the White House under Bush. That is what Keithball says. Mika admitted on air they get their talking Points from The White House and we love Joe Biden. No but MSNBC isn't a propaganda machine. They give it straight down the middle. Where are all the minorities that work for NBC? Keithball comes to work and sees how everone looks like him. No color at work. Oh actually Eugene Robinson is my only black friend. The biggest race baiter their is. Oh yeah I bring on that lady from Princeton who is an expert in African American Studies. Her take is it's the white man's fault. WOW! Keithball has one full time black friend and another one is a part time black friend. More black people at one Tea Party Rally than he has on in a year. My name is Keith Bi-Polar Olbermann scared to confront anyone but in a secure building behind a camera. WOW! Can't wait for another award winning Keithball Countdown episode. Where Republicans are bad and democrats are good. This is the 3,200th day my show was the same. I am Keithball Olbermann, Goodnight and I Suck.

Hey, Keithball. Award winning countdown is MY GIMMICK!!!

I call gimmick infringement!

Keith is cheery that Prop 8 went down like Barney Frank at a bath house. I guess when Obama dumps Michelle, Keithy-poo can move on in!

According to KO and GeneO-

Here a racist, there a racist, everywhere a racist, E-I-E-I-O

IMO, anyone who points to racism where there is none is a racist.

On an unrelated note- a friend of a friend claims they were blocked from the TVbythenumbers website for posting a comment about Rachel Maddow. Anyone ever hear of such a thing??

The comment that got him in trouble was-

What kind of parents name their son Rachel?

KO & GeneO- those men are idiots

Ann Coulter weighs in on the 14th Amendment issue and how it appllies to illegal immigrants.

Of course Keith is for the Victory Mosque in Manhattan. Who gives a damn if 3000 Americans died that sad day. We've got to build a monument to ISLAM'S DOMINATION OF THE WORLD! What's next? A Bhutto shrine next to the Pearl Harbor memorial? A nazi heritage museum next to Auschwitz? I guess someone with women issues like Keith would support Islam, he already sees women as second class citizens.

And Russell Simmons, you're on a "national cable 'news' broadcast" (I know it's MSNBC, but still), wear at least a button down shirt and a sports coat and leave the yankees cap at home.

No, that's not protesters ready to throw Mayor Blomberg out on his ear, it's your daily report on the Mosques for morons crowd...... TEE TIME!

No tea, seems Kiethy is pissed that people don't love Obama ONE care. How dare they defile Theo's name! I bet Theo would be pissed, if it weren't for the fact that he is in hell.

And no abstract, he's decided to talk to Ed Schultz about the anti-death health care clinics. So no snappy wit today. Sorry, guys. Maybe tomorrow Keith will feel his oats.

Not even going to bother with the repeated special kkkoment.

Repeat of the Special Ed Komment tonight...it was...hhhoorible, just hhhoorible. I just tuned in to see the hand off to Rick...priceless.

Sometimes, I think he just loves being the one who "I brought up this fight way back when it happened and you should give me credit" crap. He was gloating to an extent at the first half, then he got all bent out of shape when it came up to the health care thing. And of course, he brings out Ed "I'm a red-headed whale" Shultz on, pathetic. I agree with the ones who said Russell Simmons needed to dress up. You're not 25 anymore Russell, grow the hell up.

And for those who missed (and it's on the site here) is the EPIC Opie and Anthony two part rip on Olbermann's Prop 8 Special Comment back in '08. Enjoy.

When I saw the '1' next to the conservative/traditional I thought it was a typo.
