I didn't see the problem with him running his show over into 9 p.m.

Respect or not, both Maddow and Olbermann know the game is ratings.

To continue from the last thread, MKDAWUSS' attempt to derail J$ from the real question has failed.

Why the secrecy about the ratings?

This man used to lie ERRR brag about ratings all the time. Now after three shows there's no comment?

Please MKDAWUSS, just save us all the trouble and say "why are you all obsessed with ratings?"

Just say it and get it over with. You'll be the hypocrite everyone knows you are, but at least it will be entertaining.

"•At @current we'll soon have a 9 PM companion commentary show to mine. But in the interim there is no reason for me to be overlapping with my friend Rachel, nor to ignore the wishes of those who've been so loyal to both of us for so long. We've heard you: as of tomorrow night Countdown finishes at 9. Bonus stuff will instead go to Countdown Online. Thanks for upsiding my head on this :)"

So in other words, what The False Murrow is saying is that HE is the one that counts on Current TV. To use his own quote, "I'M THE A-HOLE".

I also have to say that it is very juvenile for a middle aged man to use :) in a tweet. Keith, grow up.

So is this going to be the new meme for OlbyWatch? "Where are the ratings?"

I don't think the ratings are going to plummet that quickly as OlbyWatch members suggest - they didn't at MSNBC. The ones who saw the show on their TV Day 1 all aren't one-and-dones. Also, there are people watching the show online on various internet feeds. I don't think they're counted in the ratings race.

"Please MKDAWUSS, just save us all the trouble and say "why are you all obsessed with ratings?""
Because I know the answer - anything that can be used to slam Olby will be used. Throw stuff at the wall and hope it sticks. The slightest drop in ratings, the smallest of errors (never mind that errors get corrected as soon as Olby is aware of them), and of course, when all else fails, just make crap up.

Now, if you wanna' bring up ratings, audience, and traffic...

And yet there's this: http://www.sitemeter.com/?a=stats&s=s17erasmus
Those are the stats for this site. I find those much better than the OlbyWatch Facebook page that not everyone knows about. Who needs to "Like" *that* page when you can come *here* and proverbially [Ding!] "like" the site by coming to it and commenting? In a way, you are "liking" this site by coming here, even though your goal is to shame us with links and opinion that go against ours. It's a valiant effort, but why bother? I don't comment at left-wing sites like HuffPo, your new fave MMfA, Newshounds, or Kos. I have so many left-wing friends and I try to avoid commenting on their political status updates and links. Why swim against the current?

MkDawuss, I just thought you'd like to know, the Boston Red Sox vs. San Diego game CREAMED Olby's show...

Okay, got my morning routine done, now it's time for something worse than Rebecca Black's Friday! It's the WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD ABSTRACT!!!!!

Bronze: Some guy from england for shoplifitng a coat. Olby seems to have been don't a lot of these shoplifitng stories. Maybe he's had stuff stolen from him at the current offices?

Silver (making his Countdown 2.0 debut on the list....) RUSH!!!!!: Calls him a comic, and then another slur about his addiction problem. Then to the meat of the matter. Rush-bo dared criticized POTUS on his grand speech Wednesday night (as a aside, I didn't get to see any of it, all tv programming in Louisville was knocked off due to tornadoes in the Louisville Area). The crime occures when the Maha Rushie compares Obama's ignoring of his Generals to Hitler ignoring his generals. Well, both Hitler and Obama seems to hate Jews? So what's the problem?

GOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!: Matt Ramsey: From GA 72 district for the sin of having a illegal immigration law. Cause you can't pay citizens a working rate. Of course, Olby thinks that only illegals can only pick farm produce or clean his house. He also thinks Illegals get paid $9 a hour! That's a laugh. Farmers get away with illegals getting paid less than $2 a hour. The farmers were against this bill due to their bottom line. Olby laments aobout all the food going to waiste. Well, if people need a job bad enough, the farmers can stoop to paying minimum wage and the unemployed can stoop to picking fruits and veggies.

ANOTHER AWARD WINNING COUNTDOWN TO MY KIDNEY TRANSPLANT! (hopefully soon)

Oh, by the way. Tune in tonight for a SPECIAL Thurber Free Long Distance Dedication.

"So is this going to be the new meme for OlbyWatch? 'Where are the ratings?'"

Actually, it's the same it's always been: Holding Olbermann accountable. Olbermann's a liar and a hypocrite, especially when he doesn't live up to the standards he sets for other people.

This is just another example of how dumb you are. Is it about the ratings? Somewhat? Is it more about holding Olbermann to his word? Yes.

"I don't think the ratings are going to plummet that quickly as OlbyWatch members suggest - they didn't at MSNBC."

How do you know? YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THEM! How can you say they haven't plummeted when you haven't seen them?

"Also, there are people watching the show online on various internet feeds. I don't think they're counted in the ratings race."

I don't see those numbers getting released either. Again, you can't prove

"Now, if you wanna' bring up ratings, audience, and traffic..."

Oh boy! He's got you there Johnny. Bob Cox's Facebook page can't compete with Olbermann's.

Is everyone getting that? MKDAWUSS is comparing a Web Site to a TV show. So sad the lengths some will go to defend Olbermann.

"Now, if you wanna' bring up ratings, audience, and traffic..."

Carlos, it's completely pathetic that you have to constantly bring up Keith Olbermann's Facebook page to show how popular he is.

But since you brought it up (and like to make stupid comparisons) let's go through some Facebook pages and see how many fans some famous people/entities have:

Keith Olbermann-123,881

Bill-Maher-728,170

Former colleague Rachel Maddow-377,712

Professional jackass Randy Moss-373,240

Barcelona (soccer team)-17,271,297

Real Madrid (soccer team)-15,802,748

Lakers star Kobe Bryant-9,403,932

WWE Champion John Cena-7,416,234

World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton-874,921

Batman-1,573,485

Superman-1,125,313

The Power Rangers-279,112

Actor Jim Carrey-3,408,359

Actor Tom Hanks-477,252

Former tv show host Jerry Springer-520,709

Now, let's go through some of the Facebook pages of the people Olbermann likes to trash:

Keith Olbermann-123,881

Presidential Candidate Newt Gingrich-141,461

Presidential Candidate Herman Cain (has he gotten to Cain yet?)-141,822

Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney-1,015,322

"Mashed-up meat bag with lipstick" Michelle Malkin-422,833

Radio host Mark Levin-309,284

Cable news host Bill O'Reilly (who admits he doesn't even use Facebook)-417,838

Cable news host Sean Hannity-774,032

Cable news host Glenn Beck-2,009,290

Former President George W. Bush-1,476,654

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin-3,159,165

MSNBC-226,681

CNN-622,522

Fox News-2,132,801

Huh. That's quite interesting.

There you have it MKDAWUSS. Next time Olbermann bashes any of the people above we'll just point out their Facebook page and that'll be the end of it.

"Now, if you wanna' bring up ratings, audience, and traffic..."

1. Web Site popularity is measured in hits, not ratings.

2. Just because Olbermann Watch's audience is small doesn't mean Johnny and Cox are wrong.

3. Liking a Facebook page is not the same as web traffic. I have a couple of "likes" I haven't visited in a long time.

Now wonder you're a computer geek who can't even put together a Web Site.

Again, MKDAWUSS has failed to answer the question posed to him by Johnny Dollar yesterday:

"Why is it that Keith Olbermann and Current are keeping their Tuesday ratings secret?"

Apparently you can add Wednesday as well.

Please don't be fooled by MKDAWUSS' little smokescreen containing arguments that include "his ratings didn't drop off on MSNBC," and "Look at Keith's Facebook page! He's so popular!" He still has failed to answer the question.

And we all know why. Go back to the Anthony Weiner discussion from a couple weeks ago. MKDAWUSS dodged and dodged and dodged until he was presented with clear evidence that Weiner was a liar. And then he disappeared.

The point is MKDAWUSS refuses to say anything bad about his heroes unless it's in direct opposition to one of his beliefs (see S.E. Cupp).

The same goes here. He knows the only reason those ratings haven't been released is because their terrible. Can we be certain of that? Not until we see the numbers. But for a man who constantly bragged about his place in the cable news world it's quite dubious that he's not talking about them now.

MKDAWUSS knows the truth, from Olbermann's perspective, the ratings news isn't good. That's why he keeps bringing up the man's Facebook page.

It's pretty pathetic that you've danced around a simple question for 24 hours by pointing out Fox Business, soccer teams, what happened at MSNBC nearly a decade ago, and Facebook.

Pathetic, but not expected.

*unexpected. Damn.

http://current.com/shows/countdown/videos/web-extra-keith-and-janeane-garofalo-1

I want everyone to thank MKDAWUSS for this friendly reminder that Janeane Garofalo is a rude, vile, race-baiting b**** who generalized all people of color and female gender who have conservative values as self-loathing individuals. And thinks Anthony Weiner showing off his dick and lying about it is the fault of everyone but Anthony Weiner.

MKDAWUSS, who thinks that Janeane Garofalo is an "honest and reliable" source. Give him a hand!

And a friendly reminder to MKDAWUSS that Johnny Dollar is still waiting for an answer. At this rate J$ will set the Guinness World Record for holding his breath.

Here is some food for thought, wussy. I actually live 3 minutes away from Jeanine Garofowl's hometown of Newton, NJ. There are no signs in the public square stating that Newton, NJ is the birthplace of Jeanine Garofowl. I saw a group of 9/11 truthers holding a rally in that square one Sunday afternoon, (only about 5 people holding rediculous signs), but no one proclaiming that they were in the town that should be noted as her birthplace.
