"Countdown" host Keith Olbermann made a huge mistake last Thursday night: he chose to make radio host Mark Levin "The Worst Person in the World" for nominating Rush Limbaugh as a potential Nobel Peace Prize recipient.
In response, Levin spent a large part of his show on Friday ripping this abomination apart. Audio links are available here and here courtesy of our friend at Olbermann Watch (h/t Dan at Riehl World View).
Before clicking on theses links, please be advised that Levin went after Olbermann with guns blazing, and discussed at length allegations of an unsatisfactory tryst in ahotel room with an unhappy female fan that was reported in the New York Post last October. As such, the reader is wraned about potentially offensive content.
That said, for those with a sense of humor, and those who have a serious distaste for Olbermann -- maybe more important, NBC News for presenting this disgrace on national television as a serious journalist -- are going to have a great time listening to the Great One rip this man apart. Also, pay particluar attention to Levin giving credit to the Media Research Center for some of his information.
You took on the wrong guy, Keith; you're way out of your league.
Have fun, all.
Ping-worthy?
A rhetorical question to start this off:
Why is it that Olbermann never seems to pick a liberal or a Democrat for his "worst person of the World"?
I've never seen him pick one....
Thanks LFC, I missed this night of the Great One and appreciate being brought up to speed.
My only fear is that Mark is playing into the losers hands by giving him more exposure on his radio show than Keith has in a week's worth of programming.
Either way, he is a mindless dolt who wasn't good enough for ESPN and can barely get two more viewers than the cable pariah Chrissy Matthews.
Time to look back on the old Levin live thread.
Yeah. If your idea of good radio is "Anyone who can tell us a story about Kieth Overbite's limp dick and poor sexual performance, please call us" then you'll love how Levin stoops to Olberman's level.
Levin for President!
Thanks for the wraning.
Hmmm...I imagine if Keith Overbite were to 'put a sock in it', then Levin wouldn't have had to deal with him, right?
Ovebite is a joke of a "journalist"
BTW, question: does overbite engage in personal attacks against conservatives?
If so, isn't what's good for the goose, good for the gander?
Is he giving Overbite a taste of his own medicine?
Methinks so.
Any my rhetorical question..........who cares
Taking on Olbermann, in my estimation, is a complete waste of time.
If you don't care, or don't like this thread, then you can change the channel (as liberals are so fond of saying), or rather...go to a different thread.
I imagine that it is important for Overbite to be fair and balanced - by picking some Democrats and liberals for "Worst Person of the World".
Why should he? He is one.
LOL... the links are a riot.
Mark Levin ("The Great One") is absolutely brilliant and exceedingly ornery.
A**hole Olbermann picked the wrong person to slander.
So, Levin can't 'walk and chew gum' at the same time?
The Donald taking on Rosie was a complete waste of time?
I imagine that him taking her on is quite possibly what helped her end up with only about a 40% approval rating (according to one poll) among Americans.
Oh dear! The horror! We "principled" conservatives MUST take the highroad!
Why, gunfights are simply just sooooo vulgar! The noise! The smoke! That nasty, nasty blood that splatters all over everything!!
So much nicer to throw cream puffs at the rascals, that way everybody is happy!! Just sooo hap-hap-happy!

Get a grip, read my tagline. Lead, follow or get out the damn way.
Whatever Mark did to that idiot oberman was clearly NOT ENOUGH.
So glad I taped that show. It's a keeper.
You should be telling this to Old Friend, since he is the one who said "Who cares."
Completely different comparison. Keith Olbermann is nothing but a left-winged anklebiter craving attention.
The most mindboggling aspect of this is, why would anyone pay him (Olbermann) any recognition anyway?
I concur with your post.
Yes, it seems that someone does want to just have one great big Kum Ba Yah fest.
