Olbermann Slams Bush's 'Radio Yackers' Meeting (calls meeting at Whitehouse 'Legion of Doom')
NewsBusters ^ | Wednesday October 18th, 2006 | Brad Wilmouth

On Tuesday's Countdown show, MSNBC host Keith Olbermann fretted about an Oval Office meeting of President Bush and several conservative talk radio hosts -- verbally tagged by Olbermann as "right-wing radio yackers" and labelled on-screen as the "Legion of Doom" -- as the Countdown host contended that Bush was devoting "90 minutes worth of your taxpayer dollars" to the meeting. And in an amusing faux pas, Olbermann's staff, for the second time in less than a year, accidentally displayed a photograph of former liberal Democratic Senator Max Cleland instead of conservative talk radio host Neal Boortz.

During the show's opening teaser, Olbermann proclaimed: "The born again and the born talkers: The President takes 90 minutes worth of your taxpayer dollars to entertain right-wing radio yackers in the Oval Office, and will set up a radio row for them on the White House grounds next week."

He used to be a half way decent sports anchor and reporter for ESPN. On ESPN radio these days Dan Patrick ruins his show daily by inviting keith olbermann on for an hour of co-host duties.

Who is Keith Olbermann? He has about as much significance as Air America.

Jealous much, Olber-whoever?

I have only heard this guy once, recently, when a clip was played on the Hugh Hewitt show. It totally reminded me of a hateful version of the TV show host character in that movie "V is for Vendetta" who quotes himself while watching himself on a large TV, from his even larger shower... totally icky, and totally impressed with himself.

Even at my age I would relish 30 seconds in a dark room with this POS.

Dick Durbin
John Conyers

Hey keith,
Speak when you are spoken to, prag. Better yet, just don't speak.

Keith Oldfartman. I don't care what he has to say, I've never cared what he has to say, and right now, I care even less than I ever cared before!

While I know you believe you understand what you think I said, I am not sure you realize that what you heard may not be exactly what I meant.

If you haven't seen the "Thank You For Smoking" movie, you should really rent it. It was a hilarious movie and the best LOD ever.

Its sad when PMSNBC can only get their ratings up by getting an even angrier gnome who has been dumped by Fox, ABC/ESPN already and rejected even by CNN. Maybe Olbermann could just try to replace Franken on Air Anti-America and be the lead-in for Randi Rhodes and her Bush assasination skits?

If it was a Yugo giveaway I'm sure Olbermann would be on top of the list.

Olbermann's just upset that Bush ripped off his idea - of himself, Katie Couric, Chris Matthews, Alan Colmes, Bill Moyers and the entire staff of NPR flying to Caracas to meet with Hugo Chavez.

Yeah, I thought that looked like Savage...

But let's be honest, could this really be a meeting of the Legion of Doom without Rush there? What kind of a Legion of Doom is that?

He's a complete baby. He tore up an Ann Coulter doll without even a trace of humor, he obsesses like mad over Bill O'Reilly, he does Nazi salutes, and he puts on little masks of people he doesn't like--mainly Bill O'Reilly. A total nutjob.

There was a love letter disguised as a column in the Dallas Morning News TV Magazine a couple of months ago, and he actually said he puts his neck on the line by bashing Bush, Cheney, etc. He was saying that his views are courageous, and nobody else in the MSM will dare to speak out against this President. What a laugh riot.

I guess libtards/leftards prefer Clinton's tea parties with drug dealers, influence peddlers and Chinese spies (and a smattering of Hollywood Idiots).
