Olbermann: Time for ‘Dick’ Cheney to ‘Shove It’ & ‘Leave This Country’
NewsBusters ^ | February 8, 2009 | Brad Wilmouth

Now that America has a liberal President, it is apparently no longer acceptable for a private citizen to express disagreement with the White House in Keith Olbermann’s world. On Thursday’s Countdown show, MSNBC host Olbermann delivered his latest "Special Comment" rant, this time calling for former Vice President Cheney to "leave this country," and made a suggestion that Cheney, who recently criticized President Obama’s plans for handling counterterrorism, should somehow be "made to desist" from such criticism. Olbermann: "You, Mr. Cheney, you terrified more Americans than did any terrorist in the last seven years, and now it is time for you to desist, or to be made to desist."

The Countdown host, who never showed any concern that his tirades against the Bush administration would "undermine" the war on terrorism, accused Cheney of "trying to sabotage" Obama’s "efforts against terrorism," and made a number of vulgar implications in attacking Cheney – including twice pronouncing the former Vice President’s first name with emphasis as if to call him by a vulgar word; saying that he would tell Cheney to "shove it"; and asking which "orifice" Cheney was pulling numbers from about the recidivism rate of former Guantanamo detainees.

As if the MSNBC host had a history of restraining himself when he disagreed with Cheney while the former Vice President was still in office, Olbermann teased Thursday’s show: "When he was in office, we kind of had to take this from him. He is in office no longer, so we don’t. He has caused far more terror in this country in the last seven years than any terrorist."

After several plugs, during which he claimed that "his [Cheney’s] policies contributed to the worst attack ever on American soil," and said he would tell Cheney to "shove it," Olbermann began his "Special Comment":

Yea, isn’t his viewership about 150K. One wonders why he is still on the air.

I saw KO on the Super Bowl pregame. Looks like he’s swallowing a lot of aggression. And he talks about Rush being fat.

Oooooooooh! VP Cheney is shaking in his boots and will surely leave the country straight away due to this guy hurting his feelings. Hah! I can just see the expression on Cheney’s face right now, IF he even takes passing notice.

I wish Mrs. Olbermann would take care of her little boy. He’s really a pain in the ass to the adults around here.

I did some research on KO. He can’t drive a car, because of damage done to his brain, after he was HIT ON THE HEAD! I’m not kidding.

I know NBC is biased; but, its stupid for them to stay with this guy. He’s ‘emotionally challenged’ and his ratings suck.

Olbermann is the kind of guy who demonstrates that there may be a foundation to the argument that fascism is an hereditary problem for some ethnic groups.

'or to be made to desist'

In the same way we'd like to make you desist, you genetically defective public nuisance and borderline-threat to public safety?

You would think with all Overbite's money he could find a suit that fits? That was embarrassing.
