Maybe Leavenworth has a TV studio he could use . . .

Keith Olbermann has vowed to break the law and go to jail if ObamaCare requires him to buy health care insurance. Keith made his macho boast in the course of his melodramatic Special Comment this evening.

View video here.

And they want free iphones, free gas cards and a bottomless cup of Dunkin Donuts coffee.

I used to stop and watch Olbermann’s daily rants at one time, now I won’t have him on the TV for a microsecond, and I’m very happy with my decision.

I don’t watch the Pre-Game stuff he does and I don’t click on Videos of him. He’s not worth it. He’s a nutjob that has been able to manipulate people around him. NBC has to be really radical politically to give that guy a venue.

Try turning him off - you’ll like it.

"He says he’s self-insured by choice."

I wondered about that comment. Does he mean instead of participating in NBC's employer provided insurance he buys his own insurance, or does he mean he does not have insurance, and just pays for his medical treatment on an as-required basis?

The latter would be true "self-insuring", but I do not know what Olberwomann means.

If the latter, Olberwomann is a serious hypocrite.

"I have scanned two articles today that say Obama will win in 2012 because the Conservatives have no one.

By the time we get to 2012 the economy will be such a mess that anybody could beat BOZO.
Let them think what ever they want. It will just make an easy job even easier. . . . .

[hennie pennie]

There's no way BHO can win in 2012; Independents deserted him some time ago, and now his most aggressive leftie base is furious with him.

However, it may be safer for the future good of this country if he is lead to believe that he has a chance of winning in 2012....LOL

[jersey117]

Why? Was he planning on signing up for the public option?

[Darkwolf377]

Keith is mad because he came in second place to Obama as Time’s Attention Whore of the Year.

[MortMan]

Why wait? He can go to jail now, as far as I’m concerned.

Howdy, GLGB. Merry Christmas, FRiend!

Don’t worry, you are still sane. Olbermann doesn’t share you views except on the one point. See post #26 above. Olbermann is being more left than Obama - wants the govt to pay, doesn’t want to pay those evil insurance companies...

I love repeating this story:

My old girlfriend used to work at ESPN when Olberman was there. She worked down the hall from his office.

EVERYONE at ESPN hated him, including his bosses and the cafeteria workers!

[RaceBannon]

Oh, and it was one of the cooks that told me about the cafeteria people hating him. :)

[Armedanddangerous]

yesterday Glenn Beck called Olbermann a failed shakespearian actor..which I thought was appropriate.

[RaceBannon]

Which one plays the woman?

Well, we know Olberman pretends to be a man...

[Red in Blue PA]

Wow! I am confused. Does this make Keith a patriot?







That was sarcasm in case you couldn't tell.

[pillut48]

Well, slap me silly and call me Ida Mae! KO is NOT supporting ObamaDon'tCareHowMuchItCostsAmericansAsLongAsItsAFeatherInHisCap?!?



I'll believe it when I see the video of Keith in an orange jumpsuit being led away in shackles, LOL!

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

Ping. Mark Levin calls this guy “Keith Over-bite”. No friends of conservatives, and he gets it.

[NavVet]

Well, I guess there is at least one reason to support Obama Care.

[envisio]

Thats what I knew from the get go.

He is complaining because he wants it FREE.... as in single payer.

[Old Teufel Hunden]

Olberman is really tempting me to support this health care bill...

[fatima]

Gosh this is good.My first laugh of the day.:)
