Keith Olbermann's arrogance and pomposity have reached unbelievable heights this year. But he sets a new bar with this ten minute rant against President Bush (and John McCain) and in defense of John Kerry's "botched joke" from the other day.
It's telling that Olbermann starts his screed against Bush by arrogantly assserting, as Kerry did in his "I apologize to no one" speech the other day, that anyone who might have misinterpreted Kerry's words or taken them at face value is either a total moron or completely evil. "The context was unmistakable" Oblermann says, adding that there was "no interpretation required." Really? Is that why millions of Americans, including many U.S. troops from all around the world were offended by Kerry's remarks? But, of course, Keith Olbermann is clearly much smarter than all those people who were "too stupid" to get Kerry's lame joke - even though he "botched" it.
That's exactly the sort of elitist attitude that Americans hate, whether it's coming from a stuck up Senator from Beacon Hill or a stuffed shirt former sports broadcaster who now fancies himself the reincarnation of Edward R. Murrow. Here's the whole ten minutes of Olbermann's unadulterated arrogance, if you can stomach it:

in Los Angeles back in the 20th century there once was an ass-clown named Olberman who got fired as a teevee sports reporter on one of the local stations. Pretty much a poser he didn't last long. Ironically his name was also Keith. Couldn't be the same guy though, I don't think you can go from fired sports reporter to a national syndicated political affairs program.
Bubba, the lab, just spoke sharply to me about that.
He thinks he leaves a rather attractive pile.
I'd rather check out those piles than vote for Pelosi...
TV does not force you to watch it or to make bad choices.
However, I will admit that my Tivo records Charmed for me every day. Even though I beg it not to.
MSNBC needs to help itself by firing olbermann
I couldn't take it, Olberman is such a fool
We should be thanking Keith for keeping the story alive another day. Now KO's two viewers know about it. John Boehner was on with Michael Medved today and said that the Kerry gaffe was starting to show up in some of the Congressional polls. It is too bad that we can't get Pelosi and Reid to crawl out from under their rocks. I would like for the voters to hear some of their jokes.
What Olbermann has missed is that Kerry exposed(made naked) the party to DEMOCRATS and even the GREENies, the republicans already knew..
Who knows maybe even some New York City Jews got the message..
Miracles happen..
Olberman reflects the perspective of those running MSNBC. He is heroic in their twisted minds.
30 SECONDS???? I can't last 3 milliseconds. He's the meanest, snidest, most arrogant ass on TV.
LOL!!! That's better than my Joke Malfunction!!
Overman.....he's over, man.
Apoligized to Peggy Noonan for the 'nooner?
Stage one DENIAL!
I agree that they will experience at least the first four. Five stages of loss:
Most raving libs are in stages 1, 2 or 3. However, they still have a long way to go to reach stage 5. It will take at least a couple more drubbings at the polls.
I was trying my hardest to give him a chance... omg, that guy is an ass!
Once Republican hold both houses
Democrat reactions:
Denial - DIEBOLD STOLE THE ELECTION!!1
Bargaining - We need power sharing (see tret lott weakness) We nee proportional representation
Anger - Protest Marches, Jessie Jaskson sings
Despair - Christians are all to blame, there is no way to stop them! life sucks, move to france.
Acceptance - Hilary will save us in 2008....
I watched all of Olberman's rant last night. It was overwrought and hysterical and arrogant and elitist and insufferable and......I want to see it played all day every day on MSNBC!
It's so over the top that it thoroughly discredits the Bush-haters.
Play it more!
