OLBERMANN ALIENATES EVEN MORE PEOPLE

Keith Olbermann will not host his own show, but has taken time from taking care of his father for a little blog war. Now, why would an already-imploding blowhard pick an immature fight with a popular young sports columnist? Nobody wants try to get inside the head of the increasingly unstable Keith, but going after Bill Simmons seems like another sign that his fragile emotional state is nearing Armageddon and why NBC execs are increasingly worried.

Last week, “The Sports Guy” wrote a column arguing that Tiger Woods comeback on the golf course would be more difficult than Ali returning to boxing after avoiding the Vietnam draft. That might be dumb, but the guy is paid to give provocative opinions on sports-related topics. What’s the big deal? It’s called free speech.

I believe that the “football guys” are really emarrassed
to death by Oberdick. I saw the look on ones face last year
that I had to laugh at. The look said: “What the hell is that dork talking about?”

[Belasarius]

I had the same thought about Olbermann. I was pretty upset over his description of his dad’s horrific illness. As far out there as KO is that’s got to be pushing him over the edge. Who would be surprised if we heard tomorrow that he’d stepped in front of a train? That’s the impression he gives me.

February saw ratings plunge beneath last year’s by 43% among 25-54 viewers and 29% in total viewership.

At the same time, FOX News continues its “mammoth growth.” Olbermann’s envy of all things FOX is palpable when he does things like scream, “I loathe FOX” or allege that FOX News President Roger Ailes deliberately attempts to “[inspire] fear” in people and is out to get him.

when NBC executives and others seek to remind him of life’s little burdens (you can’t verbally abuse women in the office, you can’t verbally abuse women out of the office, etc.) he sometimes hides under his desk

name the 50-year-old man who hasn’t hidden in the bathtub when an employer — in this case, NBC — sends a limousine to take him to work.

Simmons then Tweeted in response: KO, please know the feeling is mutual. You’re my worst case scenario for my career in 12 yrs: a pious, unlikable blowhard who lives alone.

The NBC/Comcast merger is in work with congressional hearings still going on this week. Unlike NBC Comcast cares about making money so many of the goofs at MSNBC may have to show results or be shown the door.

In a sublime display of irony, hot on the heels of Keith Olbermann’s insolent diatribe against the alleged lack of minority representation at Tea Party

Olbermann’s ‘Federal Budget Debt’ Blunder
2010 February 27

MSNBC’s “Countdown” show host, Keith Olbermann, recently claimed that today’s “federal budget debt” is “far less than it was throughout the Reagan administration.” He also said it is “about the same as it was in 1970.” Is he right? Tonight’s countdown:

10) What is a “federal budget debt”? No researcher, intern or night security guard told him that there is no such thing? No one fact checked him before he went on-air? Add this to the ever-growing catalog of Olbermann’s greatest hits kept by the indispensable NewsBusters.org.

Thanks, RT. That's Huma Abedin, aide to HRC, lurking in the background and whispering pleasantries in her ear.

[Rennes Templar]

Is she considered more than an aide?

[ozzymandus]

I have to admit, Olbermann’s career circling the toilet makes fascinating watching. The idiots who decided to pay him $7.5 million per year must be desperately trying to figure out a way to get rid of him.

[ozzymandus]

Rumors during the campaign said so.

[Rennes Templar]

Olbermann will be a superstar in the Decline of Western Civilization Hall of Fame.
