MSNBC commentator Keith Olbermann is looking for dirt on Fox News' Glenn Beck.
"Find everything you can about Glenn Beck, Stu Burguiere, and Roger Ailes," Olbermann posted on The Daily Kos. (Burguiere produces Beck's radio show; Ailes is the head of Fox News.)

Olbermann's request for fact-finding was a somewhat cheeky reply to Beck's own similarly phrased, ALL-IN-CAPS request, on his Twitter feed, for his followers to dig up some dirt on Cass Sunstein, Mark Lloyd and Carol Browner, President Barack Obama's nominees to fill the positions of the head of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, the Associate General Counsel and Chief Diversity Officer of the FCC, and the Assistant to the President for Energy and Climate Change, respectively.

Olbermann says he'll discuss the matter further on his Tuesday show, during which he'll provide a designated email address for tips.
What do you think? Just more mud-slinging, or is, as Olbermann says in his post, what's good for the goose good for the gander?

Impossible since they both are obviously way more into "receiving" deliveries then making them.
It looks like from twitter Glen may be live today.
Does anyone have emails for WH or buttboy olbergirlie?
I really miss flag. Now you have to fill out crap. I use the flag@whitehouse.gov for my return addy, but it is such a pain.
I know, but it makes me feel better to send the WH CRAP!
He’ll lose.
I suppose so......
Wow...it’s not like Olbermann to go negative like that....HAHAHAHAHAHA.
Personal life
Olbermann briefly dated conservative talk show host Laura Ingraham (who has won the “Worst Person in the World” Award numerous times on Countdown) in the 1990s.[7] In June 2006, Olbermann began dating Katy Tur, a reporter with WPIX-TV; the two have lived together in New York City since October of that year.[9][77]
Olbermann suffers from a mild case of celiac disease,[78] as well as restless legs syndrome.[79] He also suffered a partial loss of depth perception following a head injury from “leaping” on to the NYC subway in August of 1980[80] and, consequently, avoids driving.[7] Along with Bob Costas, he supports the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation as an honorary board member.[81]
During a period in the mid-1990s, Olbermann appeared in a series of Boston Market advertisements, in which he would cry, “Eat something!”[28]
Maybe Laura give us some help............?
Let’s not forget that the Oberfuhrer has a few skeletons in his closet! They’ve received a little publicity, but - to date- he’s been such an insignificant figure that no one’s really paid attention. But with > 3 million viewers - who are now given prima facie evidence of Beck’s ability to target and focus the beam of truth on these marxists and comimes - Oberfuhrer might rue the day he “declared war”. He just should remember what started the Van collapse - the ol’ commie himself declared “war” on Beck. Who’s now on the proverbial autopsy table? Hey, Keith, there’s plenty of room in the media morgue. You’ve got one foot in the ratings grave already. Bring on the coup de grace - your whining, pathetic appeals to women based on your “fame”. We’ll soon be seeing you in Van-ville!!!!
That's a threat? Well, okay...
That was him? He should have stayed with it.
Come on he wants to increase his ratings
It is an old trick
Pick a fight
Didn’t work when he went after O’Reilly
Beck should completely ignore him
And so should this site
Queef hasn’t learned in all these years that it ain’t news if it’s about the reporter. Beck reports facts , news, not what he did and who is or isn’t doing it to him. And when he states his opinion he says it’s his opinion. Doesn’t try to BS the Sheeple watching the Teeeee Veeee .
Oberfuehrer Queef on the other hand is a punk presstitute that has dirt on someone at PMSNBS so has a job till that person in power dies and Queef gets fired.
Come on he wants to increase his ratings
It is an old trick
Pick a fight
Didn’t work when he went after O’Reilly
Beck should completely ignore him

Keith Olbermann ? Never heard of him....
I have been saying for years, that in order to break the media bias they need to start attacking each other. This would also be good for their ratings.
Imagine if every night one network reports the lies of the other.
Bring out the popcorn.
Go ahead Keith. Make my day!
"Hey, I'm Keith...I have some cool Bee Gees albums at my place. Wanna come over and drink a Harvey Wallbanger?"
Olbermann may run afoul of the libel laws. Actual malice would be easy to prove in his case.
I hope that K.O.’s skirts are pristine because we are going to “Alinsky” him now too. Out comes the political Oreck looking for his dirt.
And in a related story, Belize just declared war on China..........
