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

Posted on 01/19/2010 8:19:56 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

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 . .

“It will be fun to watch Keith Tonight as the numbers roll in.”

Thanks for mentioning that: reminds me I have to tune in. I wonder if he’s already working on some melodramatic Special Comment for the occasion, along the lines “Mr. Brown, sir. You have won this battle. But let the word go forth: we will fight you and your radical right-wing allies on the beaches, in our towns and villages and all the way to the White House and Capitol to prevent you from plunging this country into a dark night of fascism.” Heheh!

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

If had said that about a colleague in public, I'd be reprimanded.

It is “sad and pathetic” that MSNBC continues to give a spiteful twerp like Olberman a platform to spew his hate of everyone with whom he disagrees.

IMHO Joe Scarborough is sad and pathetic.

If he ever had any principles, they were lost at MSNBC.

Since I read on a post yesterday that many of the leftist scum who have attempted to marginalize Palin are hard at work to do the same to Brown, he will have a difficult six years as Senator. He does seem to have the strength for it however.

Come on
Obermann can't do anything but be outrageous to try and attract an audience--especially aggrieved conservatives

Most people like to see fights

Don't fall for his BS and watch an increase his ratings
That is why he does it

It will be fun to watch Keith Tonight as the numbers roll in. He will be sad indeed

And increase his ratings which is why he does what he does--He could care less if you love or hate him as long as you watch

Every Circus needs a clown. Tonight Keith will be a crying clown indeed. Lets see who he blames for the loss? Tea Party people, Angry white racists, Fox News, Bill O’Reily, the KKK?

Someone should keep a paper bag handy. Olbie might start to hyperventilate... We don't need anyone to pass out on air. No rating point is worth that... Hmmm... In Olbie's case one might make an exception...

Just the thought of KO in any form of undress is enough to make me hurl.

Or laugh, if the rumors spread by his former girlfriends are true.

Who the hell cares what he does

He doesn’t believe his own BS

He knows he can sucker conservatives in to watch him no matter what he does and his ratings will go up and you are falling for it

Or maybe a mop ... doesn't Olbie have some kind of issue where he occasionally loses control of his bodily functions while on air? Thought I read that somewhere ... if someone can provide confirmation and a cite I'd appreciate!

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

Not from me. If that idiot is announcing a game I refuse to watch it, and I'm a big football fan.

You don’t know how TV ratings are taken, do you? Watching Olbie won’t raise his ratings unless you’re letting a ratings company monitor what you watch.
