Wits vs. witless

Olbermann is a paid stooge who reads whatever that witch who runs firedoglake writes for him.

Big Brown will win the Triple Crown. OT how soon will Ted K's seizure be blamed on Bush/Cheney .

I love babes with brains.

Shut up Olberman you sick, bitter, BDS riddled man.

Ain't Laura just fine lookin' in that pic? Yowza!

olbermann has been ready for a straight jacket for quite a while now.

That's really not a fair fight. Laura could take apart Keith without breaking a sweat.

re: #7 Whale Watcher

You me both

Olbermann is just such a poor example of what broadcast journalists ought to be. Shame on MSNBC for hiring such a despicable anchor. No wonder their ratings are in the toilet.

re: #9 Rkrocket

Ain't Laura just fine lookin' in that pic? Yowza!

If only I were younger ,,,, ( and better looking,,, smarter,,,, richer ,, taller,,,, and not married) I would have someone introduce me to her and ask her to marry me !

Laura and crew want to send him a spa basket, lol!

Seriously, though, it makes me sick that our military has to listen to this kind of stuff day in and day out from this creep. Just turns my stomach.

And a TV reporter telling the President to shut the hell up? Can you imagine someone saying that type of thing to Hillary or Obama if they become POTUS, and not getting fired? Heck, they'd be charged with hate-speech and put on trial!

This is going to be good! I wonder how Bathtub Boy will react to this?

Keith Overbite

hahahahahahahahahaha!

Why does Mr. Olbermann think he is Edward R. Murrow? He couldn't carry Edward R. Murrow's microphone.

If I'm in a battle and my opponent comes unarmed that's not my problem, it just makes my job that much easier.

All those brains & pretty too. She has always been a huge supporter of our troops.
Hey Keith, come on over here, closer, closer.Now repeat after me, "I am a despicable creature who is about to get a shoe up my ass"

I used to despise Olbermann until it dawned on me the man in all likelihood has no real political beliefs, this is all just a career move for him. If the paycheck was the right size, he would gleefully say things that would make Michael Savage blush. Which makes him all the more contemptible.

WOW That was awesome. What Olbermann badly needs is a padded room and a shirt with long sleeves (you know, those sleeves that tie up behind his back).

I remember when NBC brought him on during halftime of their Sunday Night Football coverage, as a commentator. I sat there and thought, "I can literally hear people changing the channel."

Olby's show feeds back to liberals what they want to hear: a circlejerk of epic proportions.

Olbermann is an idiot, no doubt. But what makes you guys so sure he was really talking about the troops? Or maybe he was just calling the "bad" troops "cold blooded killers," the ones who were convicted of wrongdoing? I am not trying to defend, Olbermann, because I almost want to vomit when I simply write his name, but I'm just saying maybe Ingraham is using the straw man arguement technique.

re: #27 PloniAlmoni

It was a logical conclusion to draw. Olbermann's script writer was at the least being imprecise with the language.

#16...he wouldn't get get fired ..he would disappear into the CLinton gulag..or however, you spell it...I remember once when some guy was heckling ol' Bubba..and the SS hustled him away...

Laura Ingraham is brilliant, beautiful, and witty. My dream woman!

Olbertroll is a smug, jealous, pathetic, logic-impaired moron. He should be on medication.

While we're on the subject of the troops:
I have no idea what the "psychologist" at the VA in Texas was thinking when she sent an email apparently discouraging the use of "PTSD" as a diagnosis. However, I do know that VA services all over the country have been making PTSD the automatic "diagnosis" for every vet they can get their hands on. I work in the disability profession. Recently I found a 43 year old whom VA had qualified as 100% disabled based on his self-reported PTSD from Vietnam. He is 43 years old and he was @ 10 years old when the war ended, but did the bureaucrats at VA manage to figure that out? Another guy had gotten VA to buy him a van with hand controls because he said he had "conversion disorder" and his legs were paralyzed. He had a wreck driving his sports car and hospital records showed he was walking just fine. As long as the vets put up with this garbage, it's going to continue. Anyone who thinks that VA employees have any concern whatsoever about saving money is nuts. The only thing bureaucrats worry about is keeping themselves out of trouble and not rocking the boat. The psychologist in question clearly hadn't gotten the memo: Just keep shoveling taxpayer money at voters. I suspect she might have just been asking people to be sure that the diagnostic criteria for PTSD actually apply. This would include checking the vets records to see if they really were ever in combat. Remember Jesse MacBeth the fake soldier who took part in all those protests? He not only had never participated in the "war crimes" he "reported" but he also never got out of basic. Every vet ought to read Stolen Valor and be as angry as hell that the bottom-feeders are getting away with crap.The media can't decide whether to portray vets as victims or mercenaries. You can bet anytime there is a story like this it's designed to do one or the other. This one not only tries to show that there's not enough money to care for our heroes, the eeeevil Bush regime has hired heartless professionals to screw deserving pathetic victims of the eeeevil Bush war out of their well-deserved benefits. Don't believe it. Given a choice between throwing millions of tax dollars at a problem or getting a single nasty phone call from the news media, most any bureaucrat in the country will grab a shovel and the money flows out as fast as he can throw it. After all, it's not their. It's taxpayer money, so who gives a damn? My dad and all 6 of my uncles were in the military, including 2 career servicemen. My uncle-n-law died at Iwo Jima. The VA travesty makes me sick.

Much as it pains me to say it, I think Laura gets this one at least partially wrong. I've listened to and read the rants of the L³eft for the entirety of the Bush administration. The vast majority of the time, when they whine and moan about war criminals and cold blooded killers, they're referencing the "neo-con cabal" of Wolfowitz and Cheny, Haliburton and Rove. They are conspiracists who think much more grandly and fantastically than to merely blame those "poor, deceived boys and girls" of the armed forces.

Has ANY national broadcaster ever said "SHUT THE HELL UP!" to a sitting president? This man is absolutely disgusting.

re: #21 Bob in Breckenridge
For sure! Girlyman.lol

The other day poster drewberto? called Olbie Democratic Rage Boy. Great visual.

re: #31 julie

Ms. Rawmuse works for the VA, but not in psych.
The VA will diagnose as much PTSD as possible, because they use the numbers to increase funding.
The sad part is that with PTSD, there are some claims mixed in with bogus ones. But, what is to be done? It's not like you can look at it with an x-ray.

Good point! And on something that is actually true...that talking to terrorists would be kinda like coddling to them...if I remember right.

re: #28 MrArchieBunker

It was a logical conclusion to draw. Olbermann's script writer was at the least being imprecise with the language.

Yeah, I can see how you can conclude that he was talking about the troops, but you can also conclude he was talking about other people or groups of people. Olbermann was way outta line by saying what he said, it was disgusting to even listen to him, he's dead wrong on pretty much every issue, but I don't think he really meant that all of the troops are "cold blooded killers." I think Ingraham claimed that Olbermann implied that about the troops to inflame the audience so she would have an even more interesting conversation on the air. She reminds me a lot of Ann Coulter actually. I believe Ann Coulter will say anything to sell her book, for instance.

Ingraham could have slammed Olbermann even without implying that he implied that the troops are killers.

Keith Olbermann: the personification of everything that's wrong with the MSM.

re: #39 PloniAlmoni

The language was SO imprecise, it had to be intentional. Did Laura draw the incorrect conclusion? Maybe. Does Olbermann deserve the benefit of the doubt? No.

I think Ingraham nailed it when she said this latest Olby meltdown may have been sparked by his getting passed over to replace Conan O'Brien on the Late Show. They probably told his agent that Olby was damaged goods and way too politically bent to ever get a comedy gig so fuhgetabout.

Really, at this point, he has given up any hope of attracting new viewers or changing any minds and all he is doing is preaching to the choir with his bombastic tirades. Hes a nutjob with no future in the business outside the little box he crawled into.

MSNBC has turned into a propaganda channel for the left.
It's about as successful as Air America.

I have to wonder how long GE will keep it going.

I love Laura Ingraham. She does a lot of heavy lifting for us. She's kinda like a fullback, except she's hot - and really smart.

This would be an appropriate "reward" for K. O.; stuck in liberal mouthpiece Hell for the rest of his life.

Let us hope he may one day reform and get a job in sanitation.

Olbermann is a totally self absorbed narcissist. I've seldom ever seen or heard of anyone so impressed and in lvoe with himself. Then again, he IS the smartest man in the world. Just ask him. He'll tell you. Over and over and over and over again. Then ask anyone who worked with him at ESPN. I'm sure they'll tell you a few things, too.

#43: One thing to take into account, dogfacegi, is that the CEO of GE is one of the liberatti.

I'm really, really, really tired of his "good night and good luck" schtick. Keith Uberdork, you are no Edward R. Murrow.

And somebody ding PloniAlmoni's #39 down for me please, I accidentally dinged them damn thing up.

re: #45 USBeast

Yep. Like Uncle Scar in The Lion King. Being the Master over a bunch of idiots.

Everyone -

Apart from working for MSNBC, Laura Ingraham clerked for Justice Thomas, and worked for CBS. In a "fair world" - she would be sitting in the Anchor Chair currently occupied by "Perky Katie," would probably be a success, and making MONEY for CBS, a concept that CBS has seemed to have forgotten. That is all and QUITE ENOUGH!

-S-

Hey Keith!

Laura is attractive and witty, and you are, well, not.

Olbermann is one of the few (maybe only) people I could not be civil or shake hands with. He is not not news. However many people I know who watch him believe he is "news."

re: #41 MrArchieBunker

Exactly right. Bunker. The writers tried to leave enough wiggle room to deny their true intent. They failed.

"Shay" -

AND also got through BREAST CANCER, not the worse for wear. Looking at the women's bench of the Conservative Movement gives me Pride and Hope - Laura Ingraham, Monica Crowley, Tammy Bruce, and YES Ann Coulter. On the other side - all 'y'all have Randy Rhodes, Rosie O'Donnell, and?...

Hate speech...always protected on the Left. On the Right, not so much.

re: #33 princetrumpet

Based upon MSNBC's ratings, I suppose Olbermann is simply trying to get someone to notice him and his network. More people probably heard Olberman clips on Laura's radio show in one day than actually watch his show in a month.

[Link: www.nowpublic.com...]

Olbermann is getting beat by shows I've never even heard of.

I always thought Olbermann was a John Stewart skit of what a rabid leftist newsman would look like, just like Colbert is supposed to be a right-winger.

No one could ever confuse Olbermann with Einstein.

Obermann's days are numbered. Bush will be gone and the gig will be up. His extreme smugness is radioactive. He is devoid of generosity. His career will drizzle to a halt.

re: #33 princetrumpet

Would any other sitting President allow the Presidency to be abused in this way? Bush's "New Tone" has severely damaged the office. I think a strong President would have an apology from the Uberdouche by end of day.

Levin's rant is better.

Olbermanic is irrelevant, And Coo Coo for cocoa cocoa puffs.

For ratings, Olberman panders to the worst element of American society.

This is not nearly as good as the Fisking that Dennis Prager gave him on Thursday. You can listen to the podcast here. (scroll down to Thursday May 15 hours 1 and 2).

God bless Laura Ingraham!

Olbermann is just another forgettable, easily discarded ratings whore.

He just amazes me.

In a bad way.

Like lint, all you need to do is flick it off.

He deserves no more attention.

Being a purulent drivelmeister.

Mark Levin: "Keith Olberman is basically Tokyo Rose in a suit." Priceless.

Good night and good schmuck.

She used to pawn that shrill harpy Eleanor "can I finish" Clift on the McLaughlin Group when I could still bear to watch it, admittedly a long time ago. She's the best thing on talk radio imo.

So... Nobody here seems to have figured out that he was talking about "contractors" - Blackwater etc.

I still don't buy it. These accusations are ludacrous and libelous just the same and they STILL fall on the troops. Unless they believe that George Bush and Dick Cheney physically went over to Iraq and took a gantling gun or 50 caliber machine gun and lined up and shot hundreds of thousands of "innocent" Iraqis (An impossible scenario), then that only leads our troops to blame. When these idiots call Bush and Cheney murderers, then want to heap sympathy on our troops for being forced to fight an "illegal" war, I find it incredibly hypocritical. Calling Bush and Cheney murderers is the exact same thing as calling our troops cold blooded killers. Because it is the troops who are in Iraq with the M-16s and high-tech weapons, not Bush and Cheney.
