Olbermann Sneers at Thompson Speech: 'Mostly Standing McCain Next to a Flag and a Gun'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 09/02/2008 8:54:21 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Reviewing speeches at the Dem convention, Keith Olbermann was like a mother describing her child's performance in a middle-school musical. "A grand slam across the street," enthused Olbermann over Hillary's effort, only to outdo himself by calling Obama's speech's "spellbinding" and "extraordinary."

But when it came to reviewing Fred Thompson's speech at tonight's Dem convention, Olbermann suddenly morphed into Frank Rich with a migraine back in his theater critic days.

Sniffed Olbermann: "We have heard two speeches in the last forty minutes or so, Chris, first from President Bush and now from former Senator Fred Thompson. I think it's fair to say, nearly entirely militaristic in nature and touching to some degree on who John McCain is and what he would do, but mostly standing him next to a flag and a gun."

Not gonna do it..have high blood pressure..

Surely you have a spare TV that can afford to be shot when he appears on screen with this screed. I think that would go a long way to reducing your blood pressure.

FRed was ON FIRE!

If only he had that much “fire in the belly” for himself during the primaries, he might be the nominee.

At any rate, he was awesome tonight, and did he ever light ‘em up!

Okay....I can’t help myself....
I can keep the story secret no longer...

Olbermann is an angry man for several reasons.
Reason #1 - He KNOWS he has never done a manly thing in his life.
Reason #2 - He is as bald as the 8 ball he is always behind.
Reason #3 - One of his girlfriends revealed he has the “equipment” of a child, and is an abysmal “performer”.
Reason #4 - He KNOWS we KNOW his secrets....

Therefore this girlyboy strikes out at everyone he recognizes as his superior.....

Palin as a woman, who clearly possesses more of everything necessary that he doesn’t have — REALLY threatens him...

Don’t tell the turd I told you......

Everytime I see Olbermann I realize more and more why Hitler used to like to eat dinner while watching people choke to death while dangling by piano wire.

I don’t what’s up with the link you gave, but it took me to an youtube page with nasty pics on it. LOL

Here is the vid...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yN54Fb9dLKs

Newt spanking a reporter discussing Gov. Palin.

BTW, that was helpful, now I know how to use No Script a little better. :O)

Maybe you can program your remote to skip CNN and MSNBC like I did. Now I don’t have to see those scumbags, EVER.

Thanks for posting the new one. BTW, I must have posted the one of Newt dressed in black leather, literally spanking the reporter! LOL!!

Well, we'll see how long before the Obama campaign gets wind of this one and has it taken down.
