Powder Puff Spooks Keith (Olbermann demands trip to hospital after receiving soap powder)
NY Post ^ | September 27, 2006 | Paula Froehlich

MSNBC loudmouth Keith Olbermann flipped out when he opened his home mail yesterday. The acerbic host of "Countdown with Keith Olbermann" was terrified when he opened a suspicious-looking letter with a California postmark and a batch of white powder poured out. A note inside warned Olbermann, who's a frequent critic of President Bush's policies, that it was payback for some of his on-air shtick.

The caustic commentator panicked and frantically called 911 at about 12:30 a.m., sources told The Post's Philip Messing. An NYPD HazMat unit rushed to Olbermann's pad on Central Park South, but preliminary tests indicated the substance was harmless soap powder. However, that wasn't enough to satisfy Olbermann, who insisted on a checkup. He asked to be taken to St. Luke's Hospital, where doctors looked him over and sent him home. Whether they gave him a lollipop on the way out isn't known. < snip >

Aww! Whatever happened to the good old days of lighting a bag of dog poo on someone's porch.

I'm guessing he doesn't have a porch with that address. I'm sure there are security guards as well to prevent the peons from coming close to his front door as well.

Could someone have sent him a powder puff for a pantywaist and he's blowing it out of proportion?

Recall that Bill Clinton had his "me too" moment after the anthrax attacks where his office said he was sent some "Salmonella" when what had actually happened was he was sent a Japanese snack (unsure if it was of US or Japanese origin) that sat UNOPENED FOR A MONTH before it expired.

I'm kind of embarrassed to admit that I am not bothered by the treatment of Keith Olberman. I'm sure it is a felony also.....under some Terroristic Threat statute. Here is why I have no sympathy for Olberman.

The demonization of others practiced by Olberman puts other individuals at risk from the same sort of committed partisan that sent him the white powder. Olbernaman is an unapologetic patisan liar. The facts are of no concern to him when he can trash the character of others with impunity from his industry or his bosses at PMS-NBC.

Olberman's particular brand of advocacy denigrates and dehumanizes others and is intended to foment anger for political advantage. He adopts as show-fodder any moonbat conspiracy theory that claims Bush and the GOP are stealing elections, going to war to take over the oilfields or enrich Halliburton, or a myriad of other "Bush is evil" story lines.

One indicator of the kind of mental illness infecting Olberman and his sycophants is the results of an MSNBC poll on their website a couple weeks ago. The question was; "Do you believe the US Government had something to do with the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Towers". A full 48% of the respondents to their poll said yes. That's right, almost half of the people that frequent the MSNBC website think the Government blew-up the Trade Towers. Does anyone want to argue about the level of cynicism and hate required to think your political rivals murdered thousands of other Americans?

This is what the Keith Olbermans of the world do. They don't want to argue about policy or methods, they want to personally destroy their opposition by any means not requiring a cogent point or argument. It is pure character assassination. If you saw or read the transcript of his show where he called Chris Wallace a "monkey", and waxes about "Clinton talking truth about 9/11", you got some insight to just how fundamentally dishonest Keith Olberman is.

Olberman is a dangerous individual who cultivates hate through lies and distortions. He is putting others in danger of attacks by whipping up the lunatic left-fringe. At least he knows what it feels like to be frightened for his safety. I sure he will realize his complicity in putting others at the same risk.......not!

No question the ass sent this to himself, or had it sent, so he could rail about the crazy right wingers trying to kill him.

Darn, you're probably right. All that poo saved for nothing! Then again, my son has an old potato gun - with a can of Aqua-Net hair spray and some petrified poo, we could be in business!

Actually if I was a controversial public figure and the same thing happened I'd call 911 with concern also.
