Olbermann Devotes 6 1/2 Minutes to Mock the Sarah Palin Turkey Clip

The purest “Countdown” segment you’ll ever see: Not only is his reaction a foregone conclusion before the tape begins, but the commentary itself is largely dispensed with in favor of a sustained, closed-captioned sneer. Why they don’t use this gimmick for all footage of Republicans, with Olby’s theatrical mugging acting as a form of sign language to the nutroots faithful about precisely how disgusted they should be, I don’t know. No special comment, at least. In the spirit of the season, for this we give thanks.

I am so glad I don’t get MSNBC on my cable.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Olbermann.

Who cares?

[fkabuckeyesrule]

I saw it on CNN and Dana Milbanks said it was cheesy while Campbell Brown’s seemed to like it. It was a pretty harmless video. Anyone who would make a big deal out of this video has issues of the soul they haven’t dealt with.

This idiot is a disgrace... However, it was not unexpected.

[St. Louis Conservative]

Those that nod heads with Keith O, that is..

Well that is pretty much limited to deranged fringe kooks that populate leftist blogs. Why the hell would Martha Stewart have that a**hole on?

[SoCalPol]

As a Gov. Palin supporter, I would not want Olbermann doing otherwise. He is a man child with mental issues.
I would hope he keeps up supporting his left wing folks,
they deserve each other.

[gidget7]

I would love to get it around, that the Olbergeek is afraid of a little ole girl!!

He must be, he can't shut up about her. And every time he rants, he gains her more popularity!

[Doug TX]

uhhh....Martha Stewart is one of those deranged kooks on the left.

Cavuto exposed her ‘let them eat cake’ outlook regarding tax increases a few weeks ago. It was a live interview in studio.

I get MSNBC on my cable but I've blocked it out so I just pass by the channel. I do look at it about once every two weeks just to check up on it. Other than a sneak peak, I've not watched MSNBC for about 4 months now. It's a joke to call MSNBC a news network. They don't even pretend to be nonpartisan. If I can play amateur analysis for a while, I would say that Keith O. has serious mental issues. He's beyond pathetic. I almost feel sorry for the guy. He needs professional help.

But I don't feel sorry for the guys in charge of this channel. They are despicable people, those who are in charge of programming. Can anyone give me some names? I wonder what the old timers at NBC would say about this group over at MSNBC. Can they possibly be making money? My understanding is that almost nobody watches them.

What gives?

[Tidbit]

Keith clearly can’t eat turkey on Thanksgiving as that would be cannibalism. Seriously, how does he think turkeys get from the yard to his table?

[St. Louis Conservative]

Oh please.

Martha may be an elitist lib, but she’s not a Moveon.org leftist.

[lnzog]

I wonder how long he devoted to the war?

[Tzimisce]

Olberman is a d**che bag. We knew that already.

[Cyber Ninja]

Please don’t post Oldturdman bilge. Just flush the commode it is floating in.

[Trajan88]

Keith... from where do you think turkeys hail that land on people's plates Thanksgiving day?

Here's a hint: they're not grown in a test tubes.

Olbermann = TOOL.

Is it true that a convention of all of that failed sportscaster’s viewers can be held in a phone booth...with room left over?

[St. Louis Conservative]

Phil Griffin is the president of MSNBC I believe.

I used to watch MSNBC quite a bit in the past. Back when it was run by Gerry Nachman (4-5 yrs ago), it was a very fair network, and even conservative. Nachmann himself had a show that was interesting, and he seemed to lean right on most things. Scarborough had a prime time show, and back then, he was decidedly more conservative than he is now.

Something happened around 2004-2005 when the network made a conscious decision to go left and be a counterweight network to Fox. It was around this time that they brought Olbyloon in and the rest is history.
