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":

His hatred has turned this man into a very ugly and base individual.

I'm not a huge fan of Joe Scarborough but even he knows Olbermann is full of crap.

Olbermann has lost the reason he had any ratings at all, BDS.

No Bush and Cheney, No BDS. No BDS, no viewers.

One of my co-workers made a simmilar remark. I mentioned he could rave on about ole Dick, but when New York was a pile of smoking ashes thanks to some Gitmo Boys in a boat he might think differently.

Give Keith a microphone and he thinks he's been elected by actual citizens. Actually it's funny that he thinks that he and his tiny micro chasm of fans have any credibility at all. He is but a gnat buzzing around a cow chip.

Didn’t he have some kind of sweater thing going under his jacket? What a dork. As vain as he is I would think he’d at least hire a personal trainer rather than resort to “fat” clothes.

At least move the buttons! Maybe he had Kevlar under his jacket; paranoia has to be among his list of neuroses.

I say this with the utmost seriousness...Keith Olbermann has a mental illness. He had an accident where he ran, head first, into a steel girder. He has classic head trauma personality disorder. Except, he gets paid for it. He’s an embarrassment and the people who pay him should be ashamed of themselves.

Can you imagine what would happen if Fox News had JUST ONE employee that carried on like Olbermann or Chrissy? the MSM would be apoplectic on a daily basis.

In Olberwienie’s world nothing could ever possibly be the fault of his precious democrats.

In another time and place he would be proudly displaying his swastika and shouting “Hiel Hitler”.

One of Titian's paintings is called Sacred and Profane Love. It features two females sitting on opposite ends of a bench, each representing love. One is virginal, the other sluttish.

There will never be a painting titled Intelligent and Stupid Keith Olbermann, with two different Keiths sitting at opposite ends on a bench. That's because even the most imaginative artist couldn't conceptualize an intelligent Olbermann to sit across from the moronic one.
