Just curious...but does PMSNBC have a staff drug-testing policy in place?
Look up the word psychotic in the dictionary. There's Olbermann's picture.
And John Wilkes Booth was a Democrat. Honest Injun!
Why would anybody spend their time watching this drivel?
Holy cow! He has really gone over the edge.
It's good to see Olbermann is taking the outing of his sexual dysfunctions well (snicker).
Why do the democrats always scream racism?
Olbermann is a raving lunatic pandering to his only audience.....the MoveOn.Org and Daily Kos crowd.... I wonder how the rest of the MSNBC crew can tolerate him. He makes them look like conservative pundits.....
I'm sure the guy who watches that show agreed.
You do these sorts of things when your show's ratings are in the toilet. Olbermann is the very definition of "insane".
I caught part of this - it must have been 10+ minutes long & bordering on absolute nutcase hysteria. Seriously, this guy has lost his marbles - it was so funny. I thought about posting too, since nobody anywhere watches his show & I ended up on it purely by accident. I was left wondering, if Republicans hold house and/or senate, Keith Olberman have have gone completely totally insane, but akin to a tree falling in the forest, would there be anybody in the audience to even notice?
No one of any importance shows up on his show and for good reason: 1)there are no viewers so why bother and 2)there never will be any viewers so why bother.
It's comforting to know he'll soon be schlepping his way back to ESPN where the political leash will be applied and his nonsense will be stifled...oh, and where he can be even more easily avoided.
He will continue to be super pissed until Dems actually win an election. Lets hope that he stays pissed for a long, long, long time.
Vice-President Chenney and Rep. Charles Rangel Debate
Representative Charles Rangel (D-NY)-- who is set to become chairman of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee if the Democrats win the House in the upcoming elections – has said he wouldn’t continue “a single one” of President Bush’s tax cuts.
Vice-President Dick Cheney said that he thought this might be bad for the economy. “I don’t know if the stock market would like it,” Chenney said.”Charlie doesn’t understand how the economy works. So if a man like Charlie Rangel were to be chairman of the committee, and sitting there with the gavel, all he has to do is not act, just don’t call up the legislation, and there’ll be a big tax increase.”
Rangel rebutted Chenney by saying, “He’s a real son of a bitch.”
Keith Olbermann of MSNBC News rated the debate a “draw.” “Both men made good points,” said Olbermann. “You could see that each side stuck to its basic theme. There wasn’t anything here that changed my mind. While partisan Republicans will focus on Chenney’s emphasis on tax and economic policy, objective observers will have to admit that he didn’t really refute Rangel’s argument.”

Talk about chutzpah.
I know Olbermann lost it long ago, but seriously, this is a new low.
What a pathetic, sad man.
As a proud Yankee whose ancestors fought on the Union side in the Civil War, and a proud Republican party member, I am outraged that this twit would compare Bush supporters to Bully Brooks and his caning of Charles Sumner.
Typical transference from the liberal idiots.
On May 22, 1856, the "world's greatest deliberative body" became a combat zone. In one of the most dramatic and deeply ominous moments in the Senate's entire history, a member of the House of Representatives entered the Senate chamber and savagely beat a senator into unconsciousness.
The inspiration for this clash came three days earlier when Senator Charles Sumner, a Massachusetts antislavery Republican, addressed the Senate on the explosive issue of whether Kansas should be admitted to the Union as a slave state or a free state. In his "Crime Against Kansas" speech, Sumner identified two Democratic senators as the principal culprits in this crime—Stephen Douglas of Illinois and Andrew Butler of South Carolina. He characterized Douglas to his face as a "noise-some, squat, and nameless animal . . . not a proper model for an American senator." Andrew Butler, who was not present, received more elaborate treatment. Mocking the South Carolina senator's stance as a man of chivalry, the Massachusetts senator charged him with taking "a mistress . . . who, though ugly to others, is always lovely to him; though polluted in the sight of the world, is chaste in his sight—I mean," added Sumner, "the harlot, Slavery."
Representative Preston Brooks was Butler's South Carolina kinsman. If he had believed Sumner to be a gentleman, he might have challenged him to a duel. Instead, he chose a light cane of the type used to discipline unruly dogs. Shortly after the Senate had adjourned for the day, Brooks entered the old chamber, where he found Sumner busily attaching his postal frank to copies of his "Crime Against Kansas" speech.
Moving quickly, Brooks slammed his metal-topped cane onto the unsuspecting Sumner's head. As Brooks struck again and again, Sumner rose and lurched blindly about the chamber, futilely attempting to protect himself. After a very long minute, it ended.
Bleeding profusely, Sumner was carried away. Brooks walked calmly out of the chamber without being detained by the stunned onlookers. Overnight, both men became heroes in their respective regions.
Surviving a House censure resolution, Brooks resigned, was immediately reelected, and soon thereafter died at age 37. Sumner recovered slowly and returned to the Senate, where he remained for another 18 years. The nation, suffering from the breakdown of reasoned discourse that this event symbolized, tumbled onward toward the catastrophe of civil war.
What?
For the other half of the country... Que?
It seems KO has Network syndrome... well, more like videodrome.
