Olbermann: Rush Will "Wizz All Over Himself Instead of Everybody Else"

NewsBusters ^ | May 2, 2006 | Ian Schwartz

[EveningStar]

On the opening of last night's edition of Countdown, host Keith Olbermann said "now he can wizz all over himself instead of everybody else" on the subject of Rush Limbaugh's mandatory random drug test...

[Soul Seeker]

His last "achievement" was banging the drum for the Boxer Rebellion. He's over.

[Skywarner]

Actually he is going to be on MSNBC at 9:00 eastern now.

Now, even fewer people can watch the big cheese head...

[JohnLongIsland]

so what's the difference if they keep him or not?
that slot on mslsd will go up or down fifteen viewers.

[RedMonqey]

Will somebody PLEASE put this poor excuse for a network down.


I hate to see dumb animals suffer.....

[RedMonqey]

Olberman would have to "sit down" to find it.

[JennysCool]

The danger is only there because the '60s/70s generation is in power at the moment. The good news is, they're getting old, and the public is getting wiser to them every day. Next up in the line of succession will be the kids of the "Reagan Revolution" -- and, boy, will THAT be a sea-change!

[linn37]

Is Olberman speaking from personal experience? I hear its hard to pee in a cup if you are a bit on the small side.

[GreenLanternCorps]

Class act, isn't he?

[ozzymandus]

Olbermanns brain damage seems to be getting worse.

[Always Right]

Rush never says anything that hateful and derogatory about liberals. Unfortunately for Olbermann, this flactuation is not going to improve his miserable ratings.

[vox_freedom]

olberman's show "Countdown" is aptly named... it's a countdown to the end of his short, miserable career, and it's a countdown to the complete failure of the network

He is indeed a Loser (note the capital L). Maybe when his show goes off the air because of non-inflated #'s he'll be shining the shoes of Howard Stern over @ Sirius.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Rush doesn't fall for this crap anymore after Franken wrote his book.

Yep, Rush completely ignored Franken's book, and the book ended up on Wal-Mart's discount bin.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

To run a show as badly as Olberman sure doesn't...take a whiz.

[finnman69]

How much longer can MSNBC keep this Jackyl employed? His show is one of the lowest on cable news.

Olbermann 's ratings are the bright point at a network with garbage ratings. It's not saying much. The moonbats celebrated when Olbermann/MSNBC moved ahead of a single CNN channel for the first time.

[Always Right]

It's the great strawman. They pretend Rush bashed drug addicts so he is a hypocrite. In reality, he never really talked about it.

He did some, but all those quotes liberals found were back in 1998 before Rush became addicted to prescription drugs.

[DTogo]

The Earl Camembert of cable TV.

[domenad]

There has to BE an Air America for him to get a job at, and since they are losing their flagship station in August, I doubt very highly if they'll be taking any applications.

[TheForceOfOne]

Desperate loser attacking a popular public figures in an attempt to increase cellar dweller ratings.
