Let me guess. Olby is going to congratulate FNC in getting their front row seat. Urge Maxine Watters to do the right thing for the country and resign. Support Gov. Brewer in their fight to uphold the immigration laws. And apologize to Rand Paul, Sharron Angle and the rest of the tea party for all his 'over the top' comments.
WHO AM I KIDDING? It will be more of the same! Maybe a special ed comment as well. A proper WPA later.
So libs hate Target for supporting a PAC with a person who not for gay rights. Conservatives hate Target for telling the Salvation Army to take a hike. I hate Target because most of their stuff is low quality and high priced. But I do admit to lurking Target's clearance areas, you can find some good buys there sometimes. Heck last November, I picked up God of War for PSP for $5. And you get 10% discount on magazines.
Now for the fun, I'm a little rusty. No, that's not Olby not understanding basic laws, it's your daily update on the bath tubs for lonely men crowd........ TEE TIME!!!!!!! (I still got it).
Olby bashes the minori-tea rally. Because there are some white people there. HOLY COL. ALAN WEST! Keith doesn't get it still, it's like he hasn't missed a beat or a meal for at least 20 years by the looks of it. Keith must run the fact that tea parties are racist into the ground.
Get your oatmeal and cellphones out, it's the WORLD FAMOUS (in Louisville) WORST PERSONS ABSTRACT.
Bronze- Tom Shales- who used to be a sure lib, for bashing Christine Amapour who was shitty in her ABC debut.
Silver- Fred Barnes for bashing JournaList, says he's never been on the 'conservative team'. Olby then connects (in a way only Olby can) since Barnes took speaking fees, he's on the 'conservative team'. Keith, it's too late, the guys on JournaList still don't like you. You can't be their friend.
GOLD- RUPERT MURDOCH! and Dennis Swanson. For having the local Fox OWNED stations content directives to have it as "biased" as FNC. Give it up.
Another award winning countdown to Lady Gaga being totally irrelevant. (OH NOES!!! LADY GAGA WON'T PLAY ARIZONA! WHAT ARE WE TO DO?)
No, she *will* play Arizona, but she'll peacefully protest SB-1070. Whatever.
I like Target. Some of their grocery items are cheaper than at supermarkets. I said some, not all.
In the tea time segment, Keith Olbermann started with something along the lines of "if you point out that the tea party is almost all white..then you're the racist!" he said it mockingly of course, but he is absolutely correct.
If your mind is so obsessed with race that you are measuring entire groups of people based on their racial makeup, then yes, you are a racist.
It's the same type of racism that Shirley Sherrod engages in. It's the same type of racism that inspires "affirmative action" policies. It's the same type of racism that has turned the word "diversity" into a meaningless buzzword.
Also. Keith Olbermann kept tossing around the word "laundered" in relation to Target giving money to some PAC.
Either he doesn't know the meaning of the word, or he's just being a dick. Either way.....wtf?
He also implied that Supreme Court justices (the conservative ones of course) are bought off. By who? I don't know. Those evil "corporations".
I never understood liberals hatred of corporations. They can sometimes be dicks, but corporations don't demand a certain percentage of my income. Corporations don't tell me what I can and can't ingest in the privacy of my own home. Corporations don't tell me where I can't smoke. Corporations don't force me to wear a seat belt.
And if your complaint is corporations swaying politicians.......politicians still have to be voted on. So even if a politician is bought, he still has to win elections...at which point his presence in office is nobodies fault but the people's.
Also. To correct even more crap from Keith Olbermann's show.
On the immigration segment. His guest tried to point out a hypocritical stance by Mccain and Kyl's viewing of the Constitution. Kyl expressed dismay over the "anchor baby" loop hole that people use when illegally entering the United States. The guest said something along the lines of "these strict constitutionalists want to go against the constitution...."
but being a strict constructionist (what I think he meant) doesn't mean you can't favor changing the Constitution. It just means you take a more narrow, literal view of what the words in the Constitution mean. So when you read the first amendment, for example, the part where congress shall make no law abridging freedom of speech, you don't read that as "but corporations don't count as being protected by this".
Personally. I think there's no way to close the anchor baby loop-hole.
But man. Keith Olbermann's been away for two weeks...I think I may have forgotten what a dishonest, intellectual lazy person he is. I was reminded tonight.
Liberals keep using the "crime is down in Arizona". Yes. Crime is down. But that point doesn't help the liberal point, because illegal immigration is ALSO down.
The economic slowdown in the United States, and Arizona (which was extremely hard hit by the housing bubble burst) has decreased the number of illegal immigrants entering Arizona.
I'm not saying that less illegal immigrants and less crime is a direct causal relationship. I'm just saying the liberals have no point on this one either.
Before you use it to avoid the actual point, I know about Red Eye being on over night and what that means concerning ratings, so I amend my last post to read "MKDAWUSS, if Countdown was on when Red Eye is, who but you would watch it?" You may not like the belittling of Olbermann here, but you really need to find someone worth defending.
Don't even start on Redeye wuss. It only airs at 3am (eastern time)and with virtually no advertisement (save for whenever one of its three regulars appear on other shows as guests) it occasionally beats CNN's prime time ratings. Your problem is that it is not a 100% left wing echo chamber. For once, why don't you take a page out of the conservative playbook and watch good entertainment even if occasionally (or even half the time) you have to overlook or just play along with certain ideas that conflict with your own. For instance, _The West Wing_ was the first television series I ever got on DVD. Hardly a conservative fantasy that.
MK, I have convinced several of my liberal-leaning Fox-news hating law school friends to give Red Eye a chance. Every single one of them is hooked now, I record the show on my DVR every night and they come over at the end of the week and watch all five episodes non-stop. Comedy doesn't have a political ideology. In addition, I don't think that cable networks have reliable ratings indicators on a daily basis for the 3 AM time slot, but I know that in the few instances where Red Eye's numbers have been released, it gets a huge audience comparable to that of primetime CNN in the key demo.
I believe even Keith Olbermann has called the show "sometimes very funny, sometimes very crass, sometimes very stupid". I pulled that quote from the WPITW when he thought that Red Eye was censoring O'Reilly's weed stash. In reality, they were actually trying to bait Olbermann into talking about the Olbsession, which the new Murrow did without hesitation.

Interesting how Olbermoron times his vacation to be the same exact week as O'Reilly isn't it? O'Reilly is controlling the fools life and he doesn't even know it.
Olby's already mocking his Olbsession for the cover of Mr. Bill's new book, "Pinheads & Patriots: Where You Stand in the Age of Obama." Replying to an OlbyFan ("Only one man has the ego to put his face and the president's on a book jacket w/ the word 'pinhead'"), he said: "At least he's accurate: Obama, patriot. O'Reilly, pinhead." The loony fan replied: "Truth. Plus that is a very Brokeback Mountain-esque stare-down going on between the two of them."
There you have it: two people that won't buy Bill's book. Oh, well. Millions (at least) of others will. It comes out six weeks from today; September 14.
MK- I know your question was rhetorical, but I'll answer it anyway.
At least 300K people watch Red Eye each night. So your silly question puts Olbermann Watch members at 300K. If I had created this site, I would be very happy with those numbers.
I have a question for you, purely hypothetical-
How would KO do up against Red Eye in any time slot?
I think the results would be disastrous for KO. Red Eye could easily top KO's number even on his home turf at 8 pm. It's the choice of a mean-spirited, lying hypocritical ass always in a bad mood or people laughing and having fun with the news while informing.
I know that I should ignore MK who just drives by and pops off with a pea-shooter. No substance and even worse style.
h/t Me, here and here.
Keith met Katy when she was a teen
Stalking Lobo was mighty unclean
Mental disorder
Restraining order
Gets his cues from that creep Charlie Sheen

Who besides OlbyWatch watches Red Eye?
I do. You should too.
MKDAWUSS, who besides you and OlbyWatch, watches Countdown anymore? Can you look at Countdown's ratings and seriously mock Red Eye's?

Yeah, and for some reason, I watch "Family Guy," "American Dad," and "The Cleveland Show." All of those shows lean left and are often overly political, especially in the case of "Family Guy."
