Davis told The Hill's Betsy Rothstein he "would not go on either Olbermann or Matthews ever". The Hill report, courtesy of Noel Sheppard at Newsbusters, reveals Davis spoken with MSNBC management about the blatant bias of the network:

Davis says he spoke with a "member of senior MSNBC management" who "told me personally that they were aware that they needed to do something to bring credibility back to MSNBC in terms of balance."

The former Clinton adviser points to MSNBC hosts Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann as culprits. Though he says he personally likes the men, citing a 25-year-old friendship with Matthews, he thinks their shows are deplorably one-sided.

...Keith replies with something so incredible stupid that I just had to post it. Just from his reply alone tells me he doesn't get it...He can't appreciate the hardships most people go through while he's sitting in his multi-million dollar condo getting fatter with a 24 year old girl.

The blogger continues...

The only time I see him actually put his feet on the ground is when he talks about our troops. Otherwise, he floats around with his big giant head trying to pretend he can relate...

Will Bunch is an OlbyLoon. Why? Will is the senior writer for the Philadelphia Daily News and its former political writer. Will's been covering presidential campaigns since 1984 and was a key member of the New York Newsday team that won the 1992 Pulitzer Prize for spot news reporting. Will lives in a tortured state of existence because he is a Pulitizer Prize winning journalist who has been relegated to a second rate tabloid newspaper in a third rate city. Keith is a second rate journalistic hack relegated to a third rate cable news channel. Will lives in a tortured state of existence which makes Keith Olbermann appealing to him.

Josh Phillips is an OlbyLoon. Why? Josh is an IT Professional from Houston, TX who spends his time blogging on a website called WindowsConnected and Twittering. Josh is a liberal living in the home state of George W. Bush, living in the same city with Bush 41. Keith hates George Bush 43 and 41 and even 41's wife and 43's mom. Josh is in a tortured state of existence which makes Keith so appealing to him.

In trying to learn more about what I can do with Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, et al I ran across what appears to be the official Countdown with Keith Olbermann Fan Page on Facebook. The page has about 1,700 fans. I thought it might be help clear-thinking readers understand the POV of KO fans to Google a few of these fans and see just what it is that makes them so ANGRY (grrrrrr!). If any OW commenters would care to became a contributor to our experimental "Meet the OlbyLoons" series please drop me a line. The work entails picking a fan from the Countdown with Keith Olbermann page, running a Google search to look for something that would explain the tortured nature of their existence which makes Keith Olbermann so appealing to them.

First up is CJ Griffin (above).

CJ Griffin is an OlbyLoon. Why? CJ is now in grad school at Rutgers but apparently worked as a Program Associate for Astraea Mission Statement:

Our mission is based is on an enduring commitment to feminism, progressive social change and an end to all forms of exploitation and discrimination. We support programs and policies that strive to eliminate oppression based on race, age, sex, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, economic exploitation, physical and mental ability, anti-Semitism, and other such factors. Only through action will we build a world of peace and justice for lesbians, and for society as a whole.

Astraea has an enduring commitment to feminism and is committed to ending anti-semitism. CJ supports Astraea. Keith is well-known for his misogynistic and racist wise-cracks and anti-semitic antics. CJ supports Keith. Ergo, CJ is in a tortured state of existence which makes Keith so appealing to her.

See? Simple.

If you''d like to contribute to the "Meet the OlbyLoons" series let me know.

Host: Keith Olbermann

Topics/Guests:

• 2008 ELECTION: Jonathan Alter, Newsweek columnist and NBC News political analyst; Harry Reid, Senate majority leader and author of "The Good Fight"; Rachel Maddow, Err America Radio host and MSNBC political analyst; Mort Sahl, comedian
• MARY TILLMAN SPEAKS OUT: Mary Tillman, author of  "Boots on the Ground by Dusk: My Tribute to Pat Tillman"

The last opening spiel of the week, bellowed by the infamous, deplorable one in his best carnival-barker fashion: Obama on the verge but Hillary refuses to quit! McCain and Hagee! [Ding!] Pat Tillman! Satirist Mort Sahl! It's casual Friday at Olbermann Watch.

#5: Clinton low on money while Bill Jefferson plays "bad cop". Edward R Olbermann reveals that, impartial newsman that he is, he was "for" Hillary at first. Who's he for now? Man, that's a puzzler, ain't it? Edwards says Obama is a uniter. Hillary is being Nixonian! [Ding!] What she's doing is almost "bribery"! Keith pimped out Alter who said yeah her "code language" is Nixonian! [Ding!] Lefty quoted Hillary as saying "she is the candidate of white Americans", which is such a caricature of her words that it's almost a lie. But lying is fine on OlbyPlanet so he was Great Thanksed.

Next the blue-dress interview with Harry Reid. Yes it's hard to believe, it's stunning, it's an astonishing indictment of the partisan political hackery that is The Hour of Spin. We're talking about The List. Gaze upon it and be amazed. Meanwhile, that crusading journalist Keith Oralmann pummeled Reid with the tough questions that only years in the bathtub could have prepared him for. Prepare for questions so leading that Krazy Keith should have been waving a baton:

• Do you think the primary process is in its final stretch? Do you have to do something to make sure it is in its final stretch soon?
• Wasn't it a no-win for Hillary to raise the issue of her support from white voters?
• Wouldn't it make more sense to wait for the next administration before acting on FISA legislation?
• Isn't it clear that the threat that exists was exaggeration, drawn up into dimensions of "total disproportionateness"?
• What did the President say to you on the 9/11 anniversary and what does it say to you?
• Oh dear.
• Is there anything Lieberman could do that could make you take away his Homeland Security chairmanship?
• Isn't Countdown the best show on tv? Don't you hate Bill O'Reilly? Isn't it true I'm the smartest interviewer you've ever met?

OK, that last line was made up. But it's no less leading than what came before. For agreeing to just about every leading question Reid was Great Thanksed.

After a Hagee [Ding!] came #4: Merkle moved the nightly McCain attack up one segment, presumably to make room for Mort Sahl. "John McCain is not driving the bus." Hagee! Hagee! [Ding!] [Ding!] Repeat of an old OlbyLie about Fox News "defending" McCain. Olby pimped out comedian Rachel Maddow, who tonight played a poli-sci expert and piled on yesterday's calling of Mrs McCain a "fraud" with more attacks on the Mrs. Hagee! Hagee! [Ding!] [Ding!] Jeremiah Wright is "dirty politics" but we need more Hagee! [Ding!] He's "apocalyptic"! McCain is a "liar"! The comedian was upset that McCain's campaign called Arianna Huffington names, approximately 10 seconds after Oralmann called McCain a "liar". Nice way to treat a POW, Fat Ass. If this were 1974 you would be Jane Fonda.

After a Fox Noise [Ding!], a "lunatic fringe" [Ding!], and another "lunatic fringe" [Ding!], came #3: Herr Olbermahn exploits the family of Pat Tillman yet again over "Mister Bush's war". Mary Tillman was Great Thanksed before she said a single word. Merkle wondered if the friendly fire was "really accidental", while Mary blamed Rumsfeld for the "cover-up" because Rummy had written Pat a letter thanking him for enlisting and was aware of his celebrity. Yeah, that just about cinches it.

#2: The Media Matters Minute: the requisite attacks on O'Reilly (for reporting on GE's dealings with Iran)--Mackris! [Ding!] Loofahs! [Ding!] Loofahs! [Ding!]--and Roger Ailes (Blue Blog Source: TVNewser) of Fox Noise! [Ding!] Fixed News! [Ding!]

#1: A sad spectacle, the legendary Mort Sahl lowering himself to appear with the slovenly political hack Olbermoronn. Keith lied again about Fox "defending" McCain (see link above) but the hallmark of an OlbyLie is that he'll repeat it over and over until every credulous lemming has soaked it in. "Man on Fan" Olbermann wanted to know why Hillary doesn't realize that it's over. It was nice to see Sahl even though he's not exactly on his game these days.

If it's Friday, it's our weekly assessment of Krazy Keith's masculinity. This week, Monkeymann attacked Fox and other broadcasters 29 times. Olby's source (Hillary Clinton's Media Matters) criticized (MS)NBC 5 times, but Keithy protected his corporate masters with zero criticisms. That makes this week's Olbermann Manhood Quotient: -68 [mama's boy limp].

Tonight's MisterMeter reading: 1 [LOW]

And that's The Hour of Spin for this, the 732nd day since the declaration that "Karl Rove will in fact be indicted".

"COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN" (8:00 P.M.-9:00 P.M. ET)

Host: Keith Olbermann

Topics/Guests:

• 2008 ELECTION: Richard Wolffe, Newsweek senior White House correspondent and MSNBC political analyst; Dana Milkbank, Washington Post; Jonathan Alter, Newsweek columnist and NBC News political analyst; Eugene Robinson, Washington Post associate editor and columnist and MSNBC political analyst
• BARBARA WALTERS: Paul F. Tompkins, comedian and VH-1 contributor

Wolffe Man is in the house tonight to play Olbersturmfuhrer's stooge. Milbank might show up in some sweet threads much to the delight of Mr. Merlot. Lefty "Analyst" Alter and forever amused Eugene Robinson. Quite a lineup of committed parrots. So called comedian Tompkins and more! I'm already going crazy with anticipation.

Host: Keith Olbermann

Topics/Guests:

• 2008 ELECTION/NORTH CAROLINA AND INDIANA PRIMARIES: Chuck Todd, NBC News political director; Richard Wolffe, Newsweek senior White House correspondent and MSNBC political analyst; Howard Fineman, Newsweek senior Washington Correspondent and MSNBC political analyst; comedian Rachel Maddow, Err America Radio host and MSNBC political analyst

The infamous, deplorable Keith Olbermann bellowed the opening spiel: Clinton won't quit, even though it's over! Supporters telling her to quit, because it's over! She should stop her "anti-Obama rhetoric" because it's over! The nightly McCain attack! The nightly attack on Fox Noise! [Ding!] It's hump day at Olbermann Watch, as we once again report on the most biased hour of television in the known 'verse. Do not adjust your set. While CNN and FNC are now airing in high definition, A-Mess-NBC has instead relied on their own in-house technological advancement, something no other news channel can equal, let alone surpass. Yes, The Hour of Spin is coming to you in that new miracle of television: ObamaVision!

#5: Bonus obscure historical reference (El Alamein)--we usually have to sit through a Special Education Komment to get one of those. Hillary won't admit it's over. Feinstein talked to the Congressional newspaper "The Hehuill". Which is something like "The Hill". Obama lost Indiana despite having once held a lead. Oh wait, that's not right. A-Mess-NBC engineers adjusted their ObamaVision dials and it came out properly: Obama was expected to lose Indiana by a huge margin but he almost won. That's better. Hillary's "talking points". Hot Toddy was there for the nightly report: Obama still has more delegates. And Grant is still buried in Grant's Tomb. Oh, and don't forget, it's over!

Another string of historical factoids (supposed to be demonstrative of how well-informed Bathtub Boy thinks he is, except when it comes to knowing that you can't mount a filibuster in the House of Representatives of course) led to more talk about how it's over! More talk about the gas tax holiday. Why can't MSLSD give us a gas-bag holiday? The Wolffe Man simpered on cue.

After a comedian [Ding!] came #4: Not only is it over, it was over in February! This was a supposed-to-be-clever "CSI" rundown of Hillary flubs, missteps, and "fear mongering" over the months. On OlbyPlanet, not only do you get kicked when you are down, you get Fat Ass grinding his heel into your rump. The Pundit for All Occasions did his expected and was Many Thanksed.

After a "dumbass" (Max Boot) and another Pulitzer-worthy edition of "oddball" came #3. This should be the nightly McCain attack if Mr Merlot sticks to the cookie-cutter template. Let's see. Obama is the Obamanee. (Groan.) Hillary, it's over! And the Republicans are in a "panic"! Now we're getting there. Keith pimped out comedian Rachel Maddow, who tonight played a political analyst. John Hagee! [Ding!] There we go; now we're on track. The comedian concluded that the only way McCain can win is to lie, run a dirty campaign, or break the law. Hey, why even bothering to have the election? Oh, and Hillary? It's over!

After a Fox Noise [Ding!] came #2: The Media Matters Minute. "Man on Fan" Olbermann attacked comedian [Ding!] Rush Limbaugh for the "failure" of "operation chaos" (neatly avoiding any mention of the Obama campaign's insistence that it didn't fail at all). Comedian! Comedian! [Ding!] [Ding!] Also the nightly smear of Fox made it to the "worst" category. It was the typical Oralmann tapestry of multiple lies: Fixed Noise [Ding!] did "breaking news" (OlbyLie) about a "scoop" (OlbyLie) that a woman had big breasts (OlbyLie). Actually it was a medical report with Dr Manny Alvarez (Olby would probably dismiss him as a "house boy") about the risks of excessive implants.

#1: Fat Ass home movies of an unbuilt baseball park. We polled the OlbyWatch staff and the vote was unanimous: the big breasts story was far more interesting. You can judge for yourself. We included the breast video as an appendix to this report. View it and vote in the comments. What would you rather watch: Herr Olbermann in ObamaVision or big breasts?

APPENDIX: "Worst person" video:

While we've been at it longer here on Olbermann Watch, Mark is really the master of verbally dissecting Keith Olbermann and a genuine hero to all clear-thinking readers here at Olbermann Watch.

Thanks, Mark!

For those who are not up to speed on either, you can keep tabs on me and all my interesting insights into the world of Keith Olbermann through the Twitter feed and view the status updates in Facebook. You can send Olbermann Watch notes, add us to your Facebook friends list and all sorts of wonderful, cool and exciting stuff.

This is in addition to our fabulous YouTube channel - the OlbermannWatch channel - which has over 1 million views. The OW Channel has 781 subscribers who get updates to their YouTube account whenever we upload new, hilarious videos of Keith's latest tirade, as always, laced with a heavy dose of Olbypocrisy.

UPDATE: I've now linked our Deli.cio.us feed (the KO Mini Blog) to Facebook as well so you can monitor our favorite Olbermann-related links in Facebook as well as in the left rail of Olbermann Watch.

And this summer Olbermann will have a series of pieces in Sports Collectors Digest, a weekly hobby newspaper. The series will showcase his collection of rare Topps proof cards and offer the stories behind some of the cards that were made for in-house work at the company in the past but never saw the light of day.

In the simplest terms, an unrelated site on the server which uses the same mySQL database used by OW was experiencing very high demand. To deal with that we moved OW to larger and larger servers. Even after moving to the largest available server we still ran into problems and so made a decision last night to shutdown the mySQL database. That reduced the load on the servers to a normal level. However, logins and adding comments are all "calls" to that same database. So, shutting down the database also means no one can login and no one can add a comment. For authors on the site like me and J$ it also means that we cannot add posts.

I am posting this now which should tell you that we are slowly brining pieces of the database back on line to see what happens at each stage. When the database is 100% online I will announce that here and the site will be fully functional.

This is NOT related to any sort of attack from far-left anti-OW hackers. In fact, the problem has nothing to do with OW at all. But we share a server and a database and when they catch a cold OlbyWatch sneezes.

To kick things off, or perhaps to provide fodder should matters resolve themselves early (one state has already been called), enjoy this interview. It's all about a planted question. You've heard Keith Oralmann rail about planted questions over and over. But this one he hasn't said a word about. When you listen you'll understand why:

I've been startled to watch two developments anger and shake our respective Coalitions of The Reasonable, without the obvious deflating corollaries apparently dawning on anybody. Firstly, Senator Clinton's appearance with O'Reilly is more pathetic and revelatory than it is outrageous. Secondly, the "Manchurian Candidate" meme voiced by Coultergeist might be taken down and later used against her.

I was drawn to Keith's use of "our" in "our respective Coalitions of The Reasonable"

I am curious to know what our clear-thinking readers of OlbyWatch think Keith means by this term and the use of the word "our".
