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

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...

[Tarpon]

The wizzer speaks, and the rains came.

You forgot that he has a vendeta against FOX, and the owners of FOX, due to how he left their sports station... he makes no bones about his hatred for the channel.

[pankot]

Souds to me he is so excited about Rush's "Wizz" he may "Jizz" all over himself.

[garyhope]

Good point and something that I think and wonder about frequently. Are the demographics really that clear? I can only hope so.

I hope that you're right that there will be a sea change due to the coming demographics.

I will be SOOO glad when the 60's are finally over (and I had a VERY good time during the 60's and 70's), but I am very tired of the sedition and treason of that generation. Such a self-indulgent, narcissistic and self-important time.

[Arizona Carolyn]

I think you are wrong. Have you ever suffered from insurmountable, Intractable, back pain? Unless you have I wouldn't throw stones.

Doctors prescribe drugs like Vicodin and when it doesn't work -- and the patients are addicted -- they move up to another class-3 drug with known addictive qualities: Ocycontin..

Rush became addicted, it caused him great embarassment and likely his hearing as well, but it didn't impare his brain and he is as brilliant as ever.

Unlikely you will see him on a lot of talk shows, it's difficult for him to hear with the different microphones and such...

[veronica]

I think this shows that Rush's addiction will be used as fodder to skewer any Conservative ideas. Sorry, IMHO, its time for Rush to retire.

Oh please...

Keith Olbermann is a pisher. I remember him a local sportscaster in LA. If Rush discovered the cure for cancer Keith Olbermann would still hate him.

[Rummyfan]

Olbermann is pathetically reaching for an audience: he gets about 250K viewers whereas Rush has an audience of fifteen million.

[Rummyfan]

Wasn't he also cited for stalking WNBA player Lisa Leslie too?

[Minus_The_Bear]

If anything Rush's battle with pain pills has shown the left to be devoid of any principles. I don't remember Brett Favre being prosecuted.

[Republican Red]

I didn't even know Shuster was ever with Fox.

NRO has been keeping up with the shoddy "journalism" of Shuster. He has been purposefully misquoting people and falsifying stories. When confronted with facts and real quotes, MSNBC has yet to issue any on air correction.

[johnny7]

Bold talk for a pillow-biter.

[Rummyfan]

New York Yankees second baseman Chuck Knoblauch accidentally hit Olbermann’s mother in the head during a botched play at Yankee Stadium in 1998. Bill Scheft of ESPN the Magazine commented, “I think I speak for the whole ESPN family and sports fans everywhere when I say, ‘Wrong Olbermann.’” Olbermann, an employee of competing cable network Fox Sports Net at the time, blasted Scheft on his radio show the next day, calling him “swine.”

That's funny, I don't care who you are!

[Khankrumthebulgar]

Then only media falling farther and fasters is Err Amerika. The Knee Jerk Liberal Nitwork of Morons and Activists losers. Keith Olbermann has dismal ratings. He desperately needs viewers and his antics are not working.

There is always Cable Access for Keith!!!

[Rummyfan]

I remember him from his days on KTLA too. He was actually funny then.....

[clintonh8r]

KO must be like an annuity for some lucky psychiatrist....

[EveningStar]

I remember him from his days on KTLA too. He was actually funny then

I thought he was an asswipe even then. :)

[VRWCmember]

Go back to Sports Center, bozoid.

Hey! Why do you want to trash Sportscenter like that?

[TalBlack]

"Ignore him instead and he will go away - for good."

Will he? He keeps failing to attract audience and he keeps getting new jobs.

When is the last time--if ever--that this guy posted a respectable share?

[hermgem]

Olberman comes in on rank 21 Matthews on 24.
They need shrillness to those so special but few viewers.
Without shrieks there's nothing there there.

[sam I am]

Each time I see Olbermann on anything,I turn him off. He is so over rated in him own eyes.

He seems to have I Trouble, every thing is I,I, I.

He will never be the man Rush is.
