Olbermann Devotes 6 1/2 Minutes to Mock the Sarah Palin Turkey Clip

[St. Louis Conservative]

The purest “Countdown” segment you’ll ever see: Not only is his reaction a foregone conclusion before the tape begins, but the commentary itself is largely dispensed with in favor of a sustained, closed-captioned sneer. Why they don’t use this gimmick for all footage of Republicans, with Olby’s theatrical mugging acting as a form of sign language to the nutroots faithful about precisely how disgusted they should be, I don’t know. No special comment, at least. In the spirit of the season, for this we give thanks.

I am so glad I don’t get MSNBC on my cable.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Olbermann.

Who cares?

[F15Eagle]

He went off on it on Martha Stewart today. He was the guest idiot and couldn’t miss slamming Gov. Palin.

The camera crew knew exactly how they framed that shot. It was no accident.

The framing tells it all, but that’s way over the heads of many Americans.

Those that nod heads with Keith O, that is...

[fkabuckeyesrule]

I saw it on CNN and Dana Milbanks said it was cheesy while Campbell Brown’s seemed to like it. It was a pretty harmless video. Anyone who would make a big deal out of this video has issues of the soul they haven’t dealt with.

[davek70]

This idiot is a disgrace... However, it was not unexpected.

[St. Louis Conservative]

Those that nod heads with Keith O, that is..

Well that is pretty much limited to deranged fringe kooks that populate leftist blogs. Why the hell would Martha Stewart have that a**hole on?

[SoCalPol]

As a Gov. Palin supporter, I would not want Olbermann doing otherwise. He is a man child with mental issues.
I would hope he keeps up supporting his left wing folks,
they deserve each other.

[gidget7]

I would love to get it around, that the Olbergeek is afraid of a little ole girl!!

He must be, he can't shut up about her. And every time he rants, he gains her more popularity!

[Doug TX]

uhhh....Martha Stewart is one of those deranged kooks on the left.

Cavuto exposed her ‘let them eat cake’ outlook regarding tax increases a few weeks ago. It was a live interview in studio.

[truthguy]

I get MSNBC on my cable but I've blocked it out so I just pass by the channel. I do look at it about once every two weeks just to check up on it. Other than a sneak peak, I've not watched MSNBC for about 4 months now. It's a joke to call MSNBC a news network. They don't even pretend to be nonpartisan. If I can play amateur analysis for a while, I would say that Keith O. has serious mental issues. He's beyond pathetic. I almost feel sorry for the guy. He needs professional help.

But I don't feel sorry for the guys in charge of this channel. They are despicable people, those who are in charge of programming. Can anyone give me some names? I wonder what the old timers at NBC would say about this group over at MSNBC. Can they possibly be making money? My understanding is that almost nobody watches them.

What gives?

[Tidbit]

Keith clearly can’t eat turkey on Thanksgiving as that would be cannibalism. Seriously, how does he think turkeys get from the yard to his table?

[St. Louis Conservative]

Oh please.

Martha may be an elitist lib, but she’s not a Moveon.org leftist.

[lnzog]

I wonder how long he devoted to the war?

[Tzimisce]

Olberman is a d**che bag. We knew that already.

[OnTheDress]

Please don’t post Oldturdman bilge. Just flush the commode it is floating in.

[Trajan88]

Keith... from where do you think turkeys hail that land on people's plates Thanksgiving day?

Here's a hint: they're not grown in a test tubes.

Olbermann = TOOL.

[Gay State Conservative]

Is it true that a convention of all of that failed sportscaster’s viewers can be held in a phone booth...with room left over?

[F15Eagle]

She has a few on from time-to-time. I’m a guy who happens to like to cook (but NOT clean) so there’s some interesting stuff from time-to-time (Rachel Ray is good but it’s an Oprah-sponsored show; she does do some good food stuff).

Yes ladies, some men actually like to cook. Just don’t ask us to do the dishes. Or at least not this guy. I can barely load the dishwasher, LOL.

Martha screwed up a number of years ago, but trashy Katie Couric’s sucker punch really ticked me off. But today I had to turn the volume down. Couldn’t take Olbermann any more.

[St. Louis Conservative]

Phil Griffin is the president of MSNBC I believe.

I used to watch MSNBC quite a bit in the past. Back when it was run by Gerry Nachman (4-5 yrs ago), it was a very fair network, and even conservative. Nachmann himself had a show that was interesting, and he seemed to lean right on most things. Scarborough had a prime time show, and back then, he was decidedly more conservative than he is now.

Something happened around 2004-2005 when the network made a conscious decision to go left and be a counterweight network to Fox. It was around this time that they brought Olbyloon in and the rest is history.

[Gay State Conservative]

Seriously, how does he think turkeys get from the yard to his table?

It's an inside job perpetrated by Bush,Cheny,Rumsfeld using the facilities of Halliburton.

[ozzymandus]

I will be very happy when GE, NBC, MSNBC, and Olberboy all go down the toilet together. I wonder how many bodyguards Olberboy has when he goes out in public (if he does).

[Lilpug15]

Olberman is a hateful moron of the worst kind!

[Lilpug15]

[Honcho]

I agree with you, it was not unexpected. Palin has got to be politically smarter than that in my opinion.

[my_pointy_head_is_sharp]

theatrical mugging

I've mentioned this before. That's what they're all doing. They're all imitating each other. Olbermann, Colbert, Stewart, Maddow, Abrams - to name just a few.

[Finalapproach29er]

These scumbags are terrfied of her appeal.

She’s got some big ovaries.

[ken21]

i resent the way the msm has treated governor palin.

yet some on this forum think the “dinosaur media” is dying.

this media has installed a socialist coup on our former republic.

[factoryrat]

Key point to remember here people:

Governer Palin pardoned “A” turkey. Let me repeat that:

“A Turkey”.

The rest are fair game, and coming to a dinner table near you.

[RadioCirca1970]

Fag

[RadioCirca1970]

We are all gonna find out one day that KO has child porn on his hard drives, I just have a feeling.

[pankot]

Wouldn’t it have been even funnier if Keith was getting the same treatment as the turkeys?

[F15Eagle]

I nominate Olbermann for first Iranian astronaut to the Sun.

[blackbart.223]

"Is it true that a convention of all of that failed sportscaster’s viewers can be held in a phone booth...with room left over?"

Are you sure there are that many?

[Jeff Gordon]

We are all gonna find out one day that KO has child porn on his hard drives, I just have a feeling.

Of course.

[NoLibZone]

Obelman, just think of it as an abortion and relish it.

[blackbart.223]

"I nominate Olbermann for first Iranian astronaut to the Sun."

I'll chip in for the ticket. I tried to watch this jerk once out of curiosity. I couldn't take it for more than two minutes.

[blackbart.223]

"We are all gonna find out one day that KO has child porn on his hard drives, I just have a feeling."

Not likely. I'm sure he is a eunuch. Draw your on conclusions.

[Arizona Carolyn]

Did you watch her Cavuto appearance? I did, DougTX is correct in his assessment.
