Echo-Chamber Olbermann Calls 'Idiot-Woman' Palin Coward For Refusing To Come On MSNBC
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 05/13/2010 7:02:25 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

If anyone in the liberal media has no business calling anyone a coward for refusing to take on people with opposing opinions, it's Keith Olbermann. The fragile Countdown host is so defensive about his policy of inviting only yes-people on his show that, as noted here, he recently devoted an MSNBC promo to lamely explaining away his Bert Lahr imitation.

But that didn't stop Olbermann on this evening's Countdown from pummeling Sarah Palin for declining to come on MSNBC. For good measure, the vulgarist variously referred to the former vice-presidential candidate as an "idiot-woman" and twice as an "idiot." Here's how Olbermann teased his attack at the top of the show . . .

KEITH OLBERMANN: Idiot-woman speaks. In front of a big flag, sponsored by a sump-pump company, quote: "somebody told me, you know your [sic] going into enemy territory. I said, it's Chicago, it's not MSNBC." Yah, like you had the courage to come to MSNBC.

Note to Olbermann: when calling someone else an "idiot-woman," avoid misspelling "you're" as "your" in your show graphics [see screencap after the break].

Olbermann is just upset that no woman would be brain dead enough to sleep with him, except for that one woman, who then blogged how he had a well, tiny little Keith

It’s way past time for Todd to give Keith a good old fashioned tune-up.

Keith you are “boring.”

Palin can get more people to a local book signing than PMSLSD can get to watch it’s programs.

She’d draw a bigger audience in a phonebooth.

Why would Sarah want to appear on a show whose ratings are tanking?

How is it that this idiot still has a show? Besides Sarah would tear him to bits.

I would so love to see Mr. Palin suddenly appear on the set with Olbertard and administer an old fashioned ass whoopin on live television.

How this ass-clown still has a show and is allowed to be an analyst for the NFL and MLB is beyond me.

Bathtub Boy squeals like the spoiled little brat that he is.

Palin is dead right not to speak to him.
“Cast not your pearls before swine”

Bathtub Boy is most assuredly swine.

Why does PMSNBC insist on doing such a close shot on this @sshat? I think I can see his pores secreting sebum. At least his pores are working. His brain certainly isn’t.

If Rush Limbaugh can't buy partial ownership in and NFL team because the NFL Commissioner thinks he's too controversial, why is he not also banning Olbermann from Sunday Night football broadcasts?

Palin works for Fox.

Why would she or her employer want to boost a rival network’s ratings?

Keef really must think his audience is pretty stupid.

O’Reilly also condemns people he can’t get on his show. Maybe Keith thinks that is how O’Reilly gets his audience.

Olbermann gets more exposure on this thread than he does on his show.
