Scarborough Slams Olbermann Over Anti-Brown Tirade: 'Sad And Pathetic'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Not that they were BFFs before, but Joe Scarborough has now definitively de-friended Keith Olbermann . . .

As NewsBuster Noel Sheppard reported, Olbermann last night unleashed an absurdly over-the-top Special Comment at Scott Brown, calling him "an irresponsible, homophobic, racist, reactionary, ex-nude model, teabagging supporter of violence against woman and against politicians with whom he disagrees."

Joe Scarborough thereafter tweeted that Olbermann's Special Comment was "reckless and sad." On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough fired similar remarks at his MSNBC colleague on live national TV . .

That was a pretty weak "slam," if you ask me. Is that the best you can muster up, Joe?

BTW, what's up with that stupid music they blare a full 2 minutes before cutting to a commercial? It's damn annoying.

So, now we know what they intend to do to us. Projection.

I’d say “sad and pathetic” is pretty strong language to say on live national TV about a work colleague.

You mean the nameless colleague? Sorry, I beg to differ.

Now, remind me again, why Rush Limbaugh is so divisive that he should not be allowed to own an NFL team, but this piece of slandering, libeling crap is allowed to be part of a game broadcast where the NFL logo is prominently displayed.

Does anyone really pay attention to Keith Brockman anymore?

It's much like the question, "If a tree falls and nobody hears it, does it make a sound?"

If a "sad and reckless" comment is made and nobody watches the show, does it really matter?

True, would have been stronger if he had called Olbermann out by name. But inside NBC/MSNBC everyone knew exactly who he was talking about, and that probably took some guts. Also, many if not most Morning Joe viewers probably had a good idea of whom Joe had in mind.

I made sure I watched KO last night, I wanted to see if a vein would pop. Even if Brown does not pull it off, watching the libs loose their mables over this was worth my contribution to Brown’s campaign.

“SAD and PATHETIC!” is very strong when it is National TV and said against one of your Network’s “STAR!”
You can bet that OLBERDOUCHE is freaking out right now demanding that Joe Scarborough is “FIRED!”
Thank you Joe, for finally stepping up to the plate and showing some Kutzpah!and Honesty! Maybe NBC will start figuring out why they are so PATHETIC?

He has a job because he is “controversial” and that translates into ratings.

Trouble is, few people except for the barking moonbats watch him. Sooner or later, as ratings plummet, he will be out of a job. The NBC ship is sinking (see Leno and Tonight Show) and the company can't afford the bleed much longer.

It will be fun to watch Keith Tonight as the numbers roll in. He will be sad indeed. Keith used to be funny—I guess he still is—just not funny ha ha, funny in the head.

If Brown wins today, expect some of these goofballs to hurl themselves off the nearest bridge.

I don't watch Olbie, but it might be worth it to tune him in tomorrow if Brown wins just to watch the meltdown.

And I thought he was referring to Ed Schultz’s tirade about how he’d vote 10 times if he could, he’d cheat the election because Republicans were bast*rds.

But, MSNBC isn’t biased, Fox is the biased network, ask Obama.

I will be flipping back to MSNBC between fox on the commercial breaks, can’t wait till Keith declares the voters of Mass as the “Worst people in the world!”
