The infamous, deplorable Keith Olbermann will return to the airwaves tonight, and at least in his own mind he returns as a victor. As Jeff Bercovici noted, when you get past all the flowery prose and pseudo-intellectual posturing of Keith's 'apology', it all translates to two words: 'I won'.
But maybe people aren't reading Oralmann's words closely enough. The detritus that Keith bangs out on his laptop has more to tell us than the fact that he's an egotist (like who didn't know that already?). Perusing his screed, there were several items that caught our eye.
I was suspended without a hearing...
Wow. Somehow that lack of a hearing didn't bother him when he was chortling over the firing of Juan Williams.
You should also know that I did not attempt to keep any of these political contributions secret; I knew they would be known to you and the rest of the public.
When would that be? He covered the entire election cycle, including election night himself, without mentioning his donations. When was he going to make this public? Next year? He only admitted the donations after he'd been caught, after a website had dug out the information for themselves.
You should know that I mistakenly violated an inconsistently applied rule - which I previously knew nothing about
Here's where it gets interesting. Remember this?
No actual news organization would permit its people, even its commentators, to assume such purely partisan political fund-raising roles. This organization, rightly, would not even let me address an ordinary non-fund-raising gathering of some Democratic senators. Those are the news rules. And if Mr. Ailes does no honor them nor obey them, as he never has, he should be relieved of any news responsibilities, or his employer should admit that he is purely a political operative.
Wait just a second here. Keith claims that he isn't aware of NBC's rules, but just a few months ago he was quoting them chapter and verse to attack Roger Ailes? If you believe Herr Olbermahn, then we have some lovely oceanfront property in Colorado to sell you. Note also that Olby insists because Ailes broke the 'news rules' (i.e. NBC's rules), he should be 'relieved of any news responsibilities'. Does he still hold with that standard?
You should know that I mistakenly violated an inconsistently applied rule...
Inconsistently applied? That would mean there are others at MSNC who also made secret donations? So Keith is not the only person to donate to candidates without permission or disclosure to NBC? Who are the others? Name the names, in the interest of full disclosure. Hey Keith, are you protecting more secrets donors who just haven't been caught yet? Or is your claim merely Another Olbermann Lie?
We know that Keith is not the only person shilling for Democrats on A-Mess-NBC. While we wait for him to name the other secret donors he's protecting, how about someone explaining how an MSNBC host can get away with this?
The Broomfield Democrats invite you to the Carter Dinner. This is the largest annual fundraising event for the party and this year's keynote will be given by MSNBC's Ed Schultz!
How can this be? When he was attacking Fox Edward R Olbermann used this exact example of something NBC would never permit! And it seems they permitted it all along. Hey Olby, did Ed Schultz break the 'news rules'? Should he be immediately relieved of all duties at MSNBC?
And what an exciting event that Ed Schultz fundraiser must have been, given the huge spotlight focus shining directly on one of MSNBC's on-air hosts:
That's delightful the way they phrase that: 'distinguished guests'...and Ed Schultz too.
Olbermann citing NBC rules to attack Fox, then claiming ignorance of NBC rules to make excuses for himself. Olbermann claiming that he's been singled out unfairly, while refusing to give any information whatsoever about the other alleged infringers. Does anyone over the age of ten really believe anything this serial liar says?
The fabrications, spin, and outright lies spewing forth from Olbypologists like Rachel Maddow have been stunning. If you haven't already, read the truth about the Phony 'Journalism' of Rachel Maddow. It will give you just the context you need for the following video. Then settle down for an excrutiating Hour of Spin.
On tonight's hour of spin:
I'm celebrating the return of the deplorable one by watching NCIS. Gotta get my Abby.
Twittermann: "ShowPlugLast: & Everything You Wanted To Know About My Suspension (But Were Afraid To Ask) with special guest ME."
A George Soros rep met with Fox News executives over Glenn Beck's expose. At meeting's end, said rep gave them a copy of the movie "A Face in the Crowd." The lead character in that movie: Lonesome Rhodes [Ding!], played by Andy Griffith. Seems that rep is an OlbyLoon.
I forgot to link to video of Glenn talking about that at the end of his show today.
Just for the record, should there be any doubt, the notion that Obama is a Muslim is not, nor was it ever, a widespread belief among any political party nor is it promoted by anyone of any significance.
What is PROVABLY highly contested is his Christianity.
Sorry, but I'm sick of that straw man fallacy. I'm sick of all of Olbermann's BS. Would that he had stayed gone.
And did I just here him speak ill of Capitalism...again? Is there really any doubt on where he stands?
Just noticed a sign outside oralmanns window that points to the left and reads "
How appropriate!
So lets set the record straight, once and for all about Iraq: The same people (olbyturds) that blasted Reagan, Bush 41 and Rumsfeld for selling chemical weapons to Saddam in the 1980s, want us to believe that the Bush 43 Administration sent us into war for lies that Saddam had WMD's, totally ignoring the fact that Saddam gassed his own people, only to discover that when We did find Weapons Cache's of chemical weapons, they (olbyturds) discredited the WMD's as "old and useless", but they (olbyturds) still say the WMD's still didn't exist and never existed?
Last week
Fox commentators donate = bad
This week
oLBY does it = 21st century journlism
oLBYplanet
Sorry about the earlier post,
Just noticed a sign outside oralmanns window that points to the LEFT that reads "one way"
How appropriate!
Yeah...Keith didn't really understand why people thought the suspension was pointless.
The reason being that nobody considers Keith a journalist, except him.
He contrasted his donation with the Chamber of Commerce story, but that isn't the counterpoint. The counterpoint is his view of NewsCorp giving money to political causes, or Fox personalities giving to political causes.
The show was a total lovefest between Olby and his echo chamber guests.
...based on TVNewser's account of what happened.
Via the eeevil Beck's The Blaze, the show opened with a shot of a dark studio with the show logo on a monitor. There was a loud hum. Then, a theatrically pensive Olbermoronn walks on: "Oh...hi. So, uh..." And then I stopped watching.
Noel Sheppard: Keith Olbermann Almost Dislocates Shoulder Congratulating Himself.
Olbermann never changes, Maddow in relief, but the best part is that MSNBC is scrambling as they see it all slipping away. No one other than Scooter was even in question after years of promises of Bush's staff being frog walked into jails, and now, as President Obama's friends all scurry for cover fom the light of day, Keith plays every card a good liberal would..... My employer is evil, they are wrong, I didn't know, look what those guys are doing, I won! like a common crook, he deny's any wrongdoing.
Meanwhile, Obama calls out his enemies, a list of talk show hosts, while he admits the country of which he is commander and chief is flawed (again), and the Democrats who make sure everyone realizes they have won the recent elections continue to dance with the ones what brought 'em, Pelosi and Reid.
And Keith dances on, his world shrinking, his sky darker, but a renewed focus restoring his energy to defeat those who have ruined America, the evil..... Fox News and Geaorge W. Bush!
As always.....UN-FUCKING-WATCHABLE!!!
Tur's suspension of Olbermosexual w/o "pay" was PERMANENT, not a coupla days like the pussies at MYASSNBC.
Rachel's too busy creamin' her jeans over Bachman, Palin, Megyn, Gretchen, etc. to focus in and pay attention to what's really happnin' in the world

This has to be the Worst Apology In The World!! #2 in the apology trifecta:
"...for not having known by observation since it's not in my contract that NBC had rules about getting permission for making political donations, even though any rule like that in any company is probably not legal."
This is an apology? Uhhhh, nope. It's a justification, a rationalization, a lame excuse, and disingenuous to boot.
Employment contracts do not contain company rules. They do contain a clause that states failure to abide by company rules may put the employee in jeopardy of disciplinary action, up to and including termination.
Please, read the product of this most talented wordsmith: Even though any _____ like that in any _______ is probably not _____.
I'm beginning to sense a thrill up my leg.
Nowhere in this non-apology does Keith Olbermann say he was unaware of the rules. He states he did not know "by observation," and that was because they weren't in his contract, and even if they WERE in his contract and he HAD OBSERVED them in his contract, it wouldn't matter because they probably wouldn't be legal.
In addition, he stated in his Feb. 4th, WPITW that he was fully aware of the "news rules" even if MSNBC had not pointed them out to him, and that someone not following the "news rules" should be "relieved of any news responsibilities."
How long can this keep going on?
"Rachel's too busy creamin' her jeans over Bachman, Palin, Megyn, Gretchen, etc. to focus in and pay attention to what's really happnin' in the world"
-Not the imagery that I want to have.......Please give me sewing needles so I can poke out my eyes!!!!!!!! I will say this though, watching Olbermann and Maddow is like having open heart surgery night after night after night without anesthesia. The first 10 minutes of Maddow's show was actually PAINFUL to watch. She actually thought she was being funny? I was suprised she didn't get a rotten tomato in the face and get yanked off the set with a cane!
I also thought that journalism was supposed to be objective, with the author or anchor only telling the story. Once the author or anchor subjects him/herself into the story, they immediately disqualify themselves as journalists. Sorry Olby, your show is not a news hour, IT'S A PROPAGANDA HOUR. Did you happen to realize that every guest that appears on Olby's show has ties to GEORGE SOROS? As Glenn Beck says, "don't take my word for it. Do your own homework". It is amazing what you find out.
BTW, Olby, if you are trolling this page (which I think you do) Don't you think that the ratings of your PROPAGANDA HOUR would actually go up if you have a guest like Michael Moore on and you didn't just sit there, blubbering like an absolute fool, saying "YEP" and acting like a bobblehead doll to everything he says? Sorry, that was just pathetic.
This is the link to the first segment on Maddow's show last night, which she actually was trying to be funny. Sorry Maddow, EPIC FAIL. I BET WHEN THE AXE FALLS ON ALL OF YOU AT MSHIT, YOU WILL BE THE FIRST ONE TO GO OVER TO FOX AND BEG FOR A JOB.

That's just not right, Funny as hell, but just not right. ;)
Oralmann's triumphant return was a ! He was the #1 show not on Fox [Ding!]! He couldn't have done it without his supporters. He loves them all.
(All of the above was sarcasm.)
Let's try that again. Keith's return last night was a ratings bonanza. He couldn't have done it without his supporters, all of whom love him as he loves them.
“Wheel of Fortune” host Pat Sajak is delivering an online mea culpa for introducing Olbermann to a national TV audience.
http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/category/msnbc
Looks like Pat is sorry. We can only hope that the media can turn their backs on this loon soon.
Mike C, you made my day. I love this category on that website:
P2+ = viewers over the age of 2
So will Olbyturd now make this a "Key-Targeted Demo" of ages 2 to 54? Will he now use woobies and nookies as props on his show? The way he acts sometimes, I would place the Bloomberg bet: A nickel and say yes. He will do anything for ratings
That photoshoped pic of Keith will haunt my days for the rest of my life.
And Chris Matthews and Sgt. Schultz just can't help themselves to fat jokes when talking about Chris Christie. I just so happened to flip over to MSHIT during commercial breaks, and there is Chris Matthews and his panel talking about the NJ/NYC tunnel project that Christie had to scrap because the state is broke. So naturally, Matthews has to say "Someone needs to tell Chris Christie that it is a WIDE PROJECT and it would certainly come in handy". I swear, is this guy really trying to make his post MSHIT career in broadcasting as UNHIREABLE?
Please forgive me for the many postings. I just lost my job on Friday, and I have been sending out 500+ resumes and posting here is helping me to vent my frustrations and contain whatever sanity I have left
syvyn11 glad you liked the pic I did , and im glad someone made it even better !!
Wait till ya see what i do to madcow.....muwahahahahahah
