Thurber? Who's Thurber? Olbermann Dumps Reading Segment for Bush Bash!

Oh yes, he had all those high-minded reasons for reading Thurber on Fridays, but for the infamous, deplorable Keith Olbermann a chance to level new attacks on George Bush is like dangling catnip before Miss Precious Perfect.

So tonight, Thurber is out the window, and ridicule of an ex-President is in. The gory details:

Attack on Bush's (R) tax rates, with that paragon of American political insight, The Wolffe Man. And of course, Robert Reiccchhhh (D).
Attack on John McCain (R) using his wife as the pawn. Lt Dan Choi, who proclaimed he'd boycott MSNBC until Oralmann came back on the air, gets his reward tonight.
Attack on Glenn Beck (Fox) and Sarah Palin (R)...a twofer! Watch for David Bwock of Media Manipulations to appear in person this time (instead of just writing half the show). Bwock agreed to show up because Keith promised he'd provide the lotion.
Instead of thilly Thurber, we get Olbermahn ridiculing Bush's book, Decision Points. In case you are unfamiliar with it, it's the book that's #1 on Amazon, as compared with the book that bears Olbermann's name which has zoomed all the way up to...#1,069. No wonder Olbermoronn is upset. Expect dramatic readings, obligatory charges of plagiarism, and the usual OlbyPlanet detritus.

PLAGIARISM? WTF? How in the HELL do you plagiarize your own autobiography?

It seems that this warrants viewing. So in this rare case, no video of the week. We'll just watch Olby make a ass of himself.

Wait, wasn't fatass supposed to read Bush's book? But he pulls out Thurber at the last minute? Guess someone at MSNBC has ball (so we know it isn't Phil Harris) and made Olby change it at the last second. Well, if I had known, I would have put up a video of the week.

Oh well, plug in the DVD player, put in the latest prison documentaries disc and have Crazy Larry lock up after Rachel cleans the office. IT'S THE WEEKEND!!!! Looks like we made it. So, I'm on dialysis tomorrow, so my day is booked. If I get any gems of wisdom, I'll get here sooner or later. So see you guys on Monday and ... Let's be careful out there.

It seems that any nincompoop at (MS)NBC can get a "book" deal. Mika Brzezinski and Willie Geist are proof. What a hoot.

Keith is a bigger douche than I thought.

"Mr. Boehner where are the jobs?"

Keith, why didn't you ask Nancy Pelosi "where are the jobs?" She is the current Speaker of the House and the Dems have had control of Congress since 2007...oh that's right, you are liberal, partisan HACK...never mind.

"Attack on John McCain (R) using his wife as the pawn."
There was a night two years ago when Cindy McCain was the Worst Person in the World. If your description is any indication, since I didn't watch the segment, Merkle made a 180-degree turn. It has Olbypocrisy written all over it.
