OLBERMANN’S RECOUNTDOWN ('Olbermann’s fixation on the vote-count story' to get liberal viewers)

These bloggers, said Mr. Olbermann, were his allies: They "can go places I can’t go

Actually, they can both go to the same place, as far as I'm concerned...

Keith Olbermann studies Captain Queeg for ideas of how to present his thoughts on the Ohio vote

[MarineBrat]

What is this 'Olbermann' you speak of?

[My2Cents]

"Countdown with Keith Olbermann"....otherwise known as "The Tinfoil Hat Hour."

[GOPRaleigh]

Idiot + 1 hour + microphone = Olbermann

In 1986, I worked as an intern in the sports department for Scott St. James, a local sports guy in Los Angeles. During that time, the big sports guys in L.A. were Fred Rogan and Jim Hill. Olbermann was just starting out doing sports on a local station, KTLA channel 5. It was universally understood amongst all the other sports guys and people working in sports that Olbermann was the biggest jerk in L.A. sports. Everyone hated the guy, his reputation amongst people who worked with him, around him, etc. was that he was a colossal a-hole.


Things don't change.

Is it true, I read it here before, that Olbermann left a job during the height of the Lewinsky-Impeachment period because he just hated reporting such negative stuff against his beloved Clinton?

[Trippin]

Good Lord, if Keith Olbermann could give himself oral pleasure he'd probably stop dating. This guy is totally in love with himself. My wife thinks he looks like a horse. LOL!

[counterpunch]

All the stars are aligned for Keith right now. He’s perfect for this new age of journalism."

Yeah, he can take over for Dan Rather, and make the Fake News at CBS more hip like John Stewart.

>>>>Regardless of the outcome of this election," intoned Mr. Kerry in a video clip linked to the site, "once all the votes are counted—and they will be counted—we will continue to challenge this administration." <<<<<

This says it all . What does it mean? It means they will fight this Bush administration tooth and nail and be as partisan as they can be all the while accusing Mr, Bush of not trying to bring the parties together in a Non-Partisan way.

[GOPRaleigh]

Please do NOT compare me with Mr. Olbermann. It is very insulting.

Sincerely,

I think Olberman is doing GREAT work!! HE IS ON TO SOMETHING!!! And, it is just out of reach!! If only Kerry would free up all his $45 million to pay for recounts in key battleground states I know that me and my main man Keith working with other minions all over would do something that would surprise many people! C'mon Keuth, join us in urging Kerry to help get himself elected, "KERRY - UNLEASH THE WARCHEST, DON'T RUN AWAY FROM THIS BATTLE, TOO!!!

[CaptainK]

Olbermann, the dolt who insinuated a direct link between Rove and Buckhead in setting up Rather. That dream has now been replaced by the rigged election. Waiting breathlessly for his next hallucination.

"Sometimes we sit there at the end of the show and go, ‘It’s too bad more people didn’t see this. See what they missed?’"

But the fact remains, they didn't see it, which should tell him something.

[bootless]

This guy's got it all wrong. WE wear the pajamas ... THEY wear tin foil suits.

[kinghorse]

Run Forrest Olbermann run. Work it to death. It's helpful to the Democrat cause. No really, it is.

On Friday, Nov. 19, Mr. Olbermann sat at a corner booth at Osteria del Circo on West 55th Street, his lovely publicist by his side...

Can anybody be sure Olbermann's "lovely publicist" isn't a 12 year-old boy in drag?

[Cousin Eddie]

As a native Angeleno, I had to endure too many sportscasts with this guy pontificating about some player or manager. He always knew better. I couldn't understand how anyone could like him. He couldn't report the sports news, he had an opinion about every team and star, and he thought that the audience cared about his opinion.

[SeaBiscuit]

someone should tell him to remove the coat hanger before he puts on the jacket.
