"I'm Keith Olbermann, and I disapprove of this reality."

Only watched a couple minutes. It goes on and on like most SNL skits. When will they learn, less is more.

Olbermann is such a putz.

Maybe they can ask Keith to comment. After all, when a Democrat candidate looks bad, isn't it the timing that's in question?

ha ha ha

I thought it ironic, NBC makes fun of their own moonbat.

Ben didn't do too bad as Keith. "Courageous- I know". LOL

Saw this on Hot Air while ago - Afflect has so many of KO's mannerisms down and it's pretty funny. But waaaaayyyy too long. It should have been 5 minutes, tops.

"Folks" is no less racist than "socialist".

Could we somehow require that all SNL skits be no more than 3-5 minutes? Around 3 minutes they hit lame-o.

Ms Precious Perfect- LMAO

Everybody needs to RESIGN....

Here's hoping and praying that KO's head explodes on Tuesday night with Obama's defeat.

I can honestly say that I've never seen a presidential election where so many people are blind to the truth. I find it mind boggling and beyond my comprehension.

Can people really be that stupid?

Since we're talking about TV, did you see Joe the Plumber on Cavuto?
Cavuto kept muscling him into a corner ("McCain has these policies, too") and Joe kept coming back at him! This is a guy that Obama fell over by accident.
America is a great country.

Wonder which Hollyweird rehab KO is going to check in to when McCain wins?

They are being purposely obtuse. They think that if they wish hard enough, the world will be an ideal place tomorrow Wednesday morning. This is not, to the moonbats, about the men running, or what they represent, this is about the (D) next to the name of the candidate. As long ad that (D) is elected, they do not care about the person whose name appears alongside the (D). It is as dangerous and stupid as passing out blasting caps to toddlers to celebrate the 4th of July.

I disagree. This is about the big "S," the socialist, Obama. These people want a Euro-styled socialism in our country. Many of Obama's supporters may not be able to argue the fine details about socialism, but they know what he is promising, and that's what they want. So, it doesn't matter if they have any awareness of the pitfalls of socialism or the history of socialism, but they do know they want it.

I watched that last night. It was very good, but like Charles said, it went too long. That seems to be one of the big problems with SNL. Maybe should shorten the show to an hour, since they only seem to have an hours worth of material.

"Something For Nothing"

Waiting for the winds of change
To sweep the clouds away
Waiting for the rainbow's end
To cast its gold your way

You pass the days

Waiting for someone to call
And turn your world around
Looking for an answer
To the question you have found
Looking for
An open door

You don't get something for nothing
You can't have freedom for free
You won't get wise
With the sleep still in your eyes
No matter what your dreams might be

What you own is your own kingdom
What you do is your own glory
What you love is your own power
What you live is your own story
In your head is the answer
Let it guide you along
Let your heart be the anchor
And the beat of your own song

You don't get something for nothing
You can't have freedom for free
You won't get wise
With the sleep still in your eyes
No matter what your dreams might be

The parody is only a mild exaggeration, if exaggerated at all. Olbermann really does do this kind of crap.

In fact, the deployment had been announced publicly weeks before and a big send-off rally had been planned well before Palin's selection as McCain's running mate. Overbight ignored all this and made an ominous speech about military plans and troop movements being national security secrets, the betrayal of which was a serious crime.

FCC Probe Signals Democratic Attack Machine

A Federal Communications Commission investigation of on-air military analysts is providing a glimpse of what Democrats and an Obama administration will do to critics once they capture Washington.

The FCC has sent letters to some of the nation's most prominent military analysts -- some of them pro-President Bush and pro-war -- suggesting they may have broken the law when they appeared on television stations to comment on and explain the war on terrorism.

The FCC investigation raises the question of whether a Democrat-controlled Congress and White House next year will investigate -- and perhaps criminalize -- all sorts of actions taken by the Bush administration. Obama is leading in all presidential polls, while Democrats are set to greatly increase their hold on the House and Senate.

/first they came for the Generals . . .

The FCC letters came at the behest of two House Democrats, who say the analysts parroted on air the private briefings they received at the Pentagon. This may have broken the law, the lawmakers said.

In an Obama Administration that role will be transferred (redistributed) to the government.

When Palin gave them their highest ratings in 14 years, they woke up and realized that there were millions of viewers who had tuned out because the show had become so one-sided politically. That's why we're now getting the Olbermann skit and probably more like it in the future.

I haven't watched PMSNBC since our cable company gave us FNC, but I will be watching Tuesday night.

/I want to see someone cry.

I just cut out all the cable. Let me know if they do cry though- that will be must see tv.

I have seen Keith Olbermann's show, very briefly, while I was in my hotel room at Disney World. You see, Disney, for some reason, doesn't carry Fox news, only local channels, the Caliphate News Network, MSNBC, and assorted other stuff. So I was in my room one evening, turned on the tv, was bored by the sight of the same old crap on CNN and clicked the channel changer.

What did my wondering eyes behold but Mr. Olbermann in full rant. It was worse than watching Charles Grodin have one of his temper tantrums (I used to watch those out of a morbid fear that he was going to have a stroke and I would be the only person to call 911, because Lord knows, no one else was watching that poor bastard.).

I sat there, dumbstruck, as he screamed at the camera for about three or four minutes, I dunno, it seemed like an eternity. Finally, my mother, hearing the screaming and fearing I was under attack, came into the room and rescued me. I think she changed the channel or something. I don't remember. When I came to, it was the next morning and I was at the swimming pool.

Anyhow, Ben Affleck gave me flashbacks.

Many thanks. In this, Oboe follows Bryant Gumbel, who was eventually reduced to narrating UFO propaganda on the Sci-Fi Channel before he tried a comeback as a sportscaster, a gig from which he was promptly fired for being an all-round horse's arse.

Gumbel's live coverage of the 9-11 attacks, when he stridently dismissed the possibility of a deliberate attack even after the second plane hit the WTC, was the single most disgraceful and moronic performance in the history of network news. That is saying a hell of a lot.

Oh, I don't know. Peter Jennings implying that Bush was a coward for staying up in Air Force One until the military and the Secret Service thought it was safe enough to land was also pretty disgraceful.

I wonder how long it will take for Olbermann to figure out who wrote the skit and offer him a job writing for Countdown . . . it covered everything Keithy loves - misrepresentation of fact and demonization of everyone with whom he disagrees served with a generous side of moral equivalence and liberal condescension.

Either that or he watched it and is congratulating himself for a job well done.

re: #110 FrogMarch

ha ha "Obama blowjob train"....is that copyrighted or can I use it?

Sorry to go OT but here's an editorial by Cal Thomas that might be a good one to pass on to your e-mail lists, etc., also posted in the links.

"Electing Barack Obama president of the United States would be a roll of loaded dice. We will live (and possibly die) to regret it. Republicans have made many mistakes and deserve the punishment they are now getting, but the one charge that cannot be laid at their doorstep is that they wanted to re-write the Constitution and weaken the country.

Obama will do that and more. Wake up, America, and stop flirting with this guy because you are flirting with potential disaster."

Read the whole thing:[Link: www.sgvtribune.com...]

Drudge had a story about Olberman going to the studio to watch the rehearsal of this. He wasn't expected, apparently and Affleck (understandably) was rather uncomfortable. Of course in the comments on the article Olby's lackeys were screaming how it was insane that anyone would think Keithy was being heavy-handed by showing up like he did -- he just wanted to see what they were going to do!

Of course, if anyone's been there they know that Olby could have watched the rehearsal from the internal feed in the building right in his office or dressing room.

But that wouldn't have made his point, would it?

Affleck did a great job. It's long, but it's funny throughout, IMO. I hope they do more like it. :)

Any disaster that results from an Obama presidency, from the nuking of Tel Aviv to a bottomless economic depression, can be laid firmly at the feet of the media-industrial complex and its characteristic internal culture. They are the true and literal enemy.

After September 11, and while contributing to Salon.com, he published a profound "Mea Culpa" to ESPN and fellow workers and addressed the burned bridges in his career. He attributed most of his "outbursts" to feelings of "insecurity" and "fear of being blamed".

Palin told supporters to listen to the audiotape. “You’re going to hear Sen. Obama talk about bankrupting the coal industry,” she said. The Alaska governor also pointed to comments that Democratic vice-presidential candidate Joe Biden made to an environmental activist, promising no more coal-fired power plants in America. Biden was videotaped, likely without his knowledge.

“In an Obama-Biden administration, there would be no use for coal at all, from Wyoming to Colorado, to West Virginia and Ohio,” Palin said.

McCain in Pennsylvania: I'm a 'Coal Booster'

Mocking Obama for a comment he made in an interview with the San Francisco Chronicle in January -- "The only thing I've said with respect to coal, I haven't been some coal booster," Obama had said -- McCain promised the audience at the University of Scranton that he's been a proud coal cheerleader in the past, and plans to be one in the future.

"My friends, you know what Senator Obama said about a year ago, he said he had not been a, quote, coal booster," he said, as the crowd booed. "My friends, I've been a coal booster and it's going to create jobs, and we're going to export coal to other countries and we are going to create hundreds of thousands of jobs. That's going to help restore the economy of the great state of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania."

I just got called a racist for my avatar on another message board, the kool-aid pitcher colored purple and orange. Little does he realize that it's not because of

EDIT: Hey Matrix, why do you have the Kool-Aid man? Is that some sort of racist connotation for Obama and black people in general?

I appreciate that he’s a war hero. But I gave someone the Heimlich in the eighth grade, so what?”
What an ass. I'll never see anything having anything to do with him EVER again.

Not surprising he'd single out a couple of actors. Now we know what Rock's over-riding criteria is for POTUS--coolness.

re: #225 SWPaul

Unfortunately, there are some people who think like that. I heard a story about somebody's son torn between McCain and Obama. When he heard that McCain picked Palin, he said that he's definately going for Obama.

/Academia, *sighs*.

re: #192 mitthrawnurdo

Seldomly, and that was when Tony Snow the Press Secretary.

President Bush not being able (or willing) to by-pass the press and get the message out was part of the problem with his presidency.

Good point.
And I have been wondering......................

Reagan could bypass the press by calling press conferences and scheduling speeches. Those were the days before cable became a major force. The stations would all air the speeches or press conferences and would preempt regular programming to do so.
Anyone watching TV would just be stuck with that.

Now viewers can just change the channel. The old networks can't afford to air presidential speeches, etc. when facing competition from those channels that don't air them. So they pick and choose what they want to air.

I think it's much harder for a president to reach people directly today,
and especially for a president the MSM itself doesn't want to promote.

re: #199 yah

I think Obama will give us all the alcohol and opiates we want.

i was thinking that too. keep us placated for a while, at first.
but he will begin his federal excise taxes on regular things people enjoy, slowly making what we take for granted, a luxury.

re: #232 wolfie

When the President of the United States calls a press conference the networks air it. If it's important and well delivered the folks listen. Now there lies the problem.

re: #232 wolfie

I remember right after 9/11 Bush made a great speech (the long war ,there will be hidden successes, like no war we've fought before etc.)Arter hearing it I was greatly impressed.Here we have a man who understands the threat and is willing to respond.Unfortunately I never heard him mention these themes again .As time passed most people saw the war as a bother and just wanted to get back to watching TV.It was all a critical lack of communication

Eh, well, the last eight years haven't been exactly highlights in rhetorical history.

However, anyone who thinks Obama speaks well hasn't been paying attention. I keep waiting for a coherent point to be made, and it never happens.

Heh - Obama said yesterday in a Nevada rally "And remember: you can vote early here in Nevada".

Only thing is, early voting ended on the 31st.

I thought it was long but thought that a good thing. The more satirical ranting Olbermann the better, I say. And Affleck pulled it off superbly. Just my opinion. The View sketch - now that was long.

That's funny,because when I was in the Army,my D.I would reference sittin' on the porch sipping Kool-Aid out of a mayonaise jar. He directed that at Hillbillys' and RedNecks.

/when did it become a racial slur? Did I miss something?

T-T-T-Toomer!

/take that you whiny ass Texas people, making Troy Aikman have to provide color commentary is icing on the cake

thats the most Olbermann I have ever watched/ and it's just like the 2 sec spots I have been attacked by, flipping channels.

re: #22 freeus

Wonder which Hollyweird rehab KO is going to check in to when McCain wins?

I have not watched one second of MSNBC. I will have to if McCain wins just for the hilarity that is going to ensue. It will be a perpetual SNL skit!

I think he is perfect for VH1's Celeb Rehab with Dr. Drew. He and Gary Busey could room together.

I have no idea. I guess because black people enjoy drinking Kool-Aid or something?

Obama makes his points masterfully. Hope and change lacking any specifics. Masterful. Absolutely masterful. The last guy this good came close to taking over an entire continent.

That's because you're actually listening and analyzing what he says. Many people aren't.

10 reasons not to vote for obama
[Link: bobmccarty.com...]

point number 10 SHOULD NOT be forwarded to your friends, if you are trying to switch them over to McCain.

Playing the "muslim" card will only result in you being called a bigot - and will play into the Democrats hands. dont risk it folks - not at this late stage...

stick with the issues. and there are plenty of them.

Seriously.

I actually need a clear, concise, and thorough list/article with an argument. It's so hard to encompass everything I've learned in one year here at LGF into my argument to convince people, with like 10 things coming out each day.

Anyone have one?

Hey, Ø just said we only have two more days of clouds,and then the sun will come out.

Does he realize if he wins, he has to wait until Jan.20, to take over?

OT: For anyone following how Obama's actions and policy pronouncements follow the ideology prescribed by Herbert Marcuse, I have posted a comment on the "tax consumerism" thread that lays out the Marcuse theory behind it.

The guy is a New Left Marxist.
