Olbermann Slams Bush's 'Radio Yackers' Meeting (calls meeting at Whitehouse 'Legion of Doom')
NewsBusters ^ | Wednesday October 18th, 2006 | Brad Wilmouth

On Tuesday's Countdown show, MSNBC host Keith Olbermann fretted about an Oval Office meeting of President Bush and several conservative talk radio hosts -- verbally tagged by Olbermann as "right-wing radio yackers" and labelled on-screen as the "Legion of Doom" -- as the Countdown host contended that Bush was devoting "90 minutes worth of your taxpayer dollars" to the meeting. And in an amusing faux pas, Olbermann's staff, for the second time in less than a year, accidentally displayed a photograph of former liberal Democratic Senator Max Cleland instead of conservative talk radio host Neal Boortz.

During the show's opening teaser, Olbermann proclaimed: "The born again and the born talkers: The President takes 90 minutes worth of your taxpayer dollars to entertain right-wing radio yackers in the Oval Office, and will set up a radio row for them on the White House grounds next week."

'Legion of Doom' sounds more like a video game.

He also put up a picture of Mike Savage who did not attend this evil meeting. Looks like his minions back stage have been sniffing too much glue.

Keith Olbermann's so low in the ratings that he's attacking every AM radio conservative talk show host with hopes to get free advertisement the following day. He's a TV troll. Best thing to do is ignore idiots like him. That's what he does NOT want to happen.

Olbermaniac should talk...his side has the Joker (Hillary) the Penguin (Ted Kennedy) the Scarecrow (Al Gore) Cat Woman (Nancy Pelosi) and Mr. Freeze (John Kerry).

Well Sean did say the other day that he grew up a big Philadelphia Flyers fan, so it's perhaps a compliment. :)

Who at Newsbusters has the unenviable chore of watching Keith Oh-for-a-man? Why is he still on MSDNC? He has a face made for radio, IMHO.

I understand the ignore argument, but I think it's better to give the unhinged liberal leftist democrats like olbermann as much attention as possible. Regular folks in everyday America get a glimpse into the REAL democratic party every time idiots like keith olbermann open their mouths.

Guys does Olberdouche have many right wingers on his show for a 1 on 1 debate? I've never seen his televised left wing hate blog.

I think he does invite conservatives, but I wouldn't know for sure. Anytine a channel surf in our home comes across MSNBC the remote somehow automatically moves on to the next station.

Not many people know that answer to that question based on the 'Countdown' ratings on MSNBC.
