I'm Smarter Than You, Just Look At My Vocabulary

Keith Olbermann was once on SportsCenter and people liked him. His humor was dry and biting, like a good martini. His writing was clean. His seeming self-effacement while delivering sports news and highlights made you think he was an alright guy.
Then, he left. Er, got fired. Er, whatever. It was one stop in a longer string of stops for a TV guy who most people called very “talented” but couldn’t get along with management.
I know these types. Maybe I am one myself. Or not quite.
These guys are so bitterly anti-management because they think they have it all figured out and everyone else is a dope. Well, management CAN be stupid, but not by default. They have their own band they have to dance to, while we “talent” hear a different tune.
Now Keith is presiding over a TV show that is getting “good” ratings on MSNBC, which is sorta like being the only girl at an Iowa state fair who can still buy dresses “off the rack.”
It’s called “Countdown” with Keith Olbermann.
It features 5 neatly packaged “things” (calling them “stories” or “topics” is perhaps giving them too much credit) that Keith thinks newsworthy or attention grabbing.
Lately, the show should be re-named “Meltdown.” Because the guy is flat crazy.
If you never saw one of his maniacal anti-Bush rants, then you’re in for a truly psychotic treat.
My favorite is this interminable, 10 minute long tantrum, full of fancy words, righteous indignation, and dripping condescension. News flash. Bush pardoned Scooter Libby. My God! The Republic is ruined. Never mind that the case itself, was more flimsy than a wet Olbermann teleprompter script. Never mind the countless pardons of far more dangerous and corrupt convicts by Bubba Clinton. I suppose Keith’s “special comment” on those is still in a script re-write.
NOTE: After watching this laughable tantrum once more, I struck me. Ten f’ing minutes! Hashing over the same crap 3 or 4 different ways? Has the dude ever heard of “editing” his material. And for that matter, he must have a staff full of terrified pussies working as his producers. Surely any one of them with an even cable access sense of timing and television would have spoken up to say: “Nice rant, boss. How bout we trim it down to 3 minutes? That way, you don’t sound like a complete nut job, and we can show a few baseball bloopers to close the show. You know, leave ‘em on a little bit of an up note?”)
Anyway.
Now Page 6 of the NY Post is engaged in a sort of feud with Keith, as they chronicle several mentally unbalanced incidents surrounding the death of Tim Russert.
You can read the latest here, along with Keith’s vehement denials and counter-charges of Page 6’s own dishonesty. Then there’s the previous charge of him wanting the Russert gig.
Ah, yes. A catfight! Good!
I am sure that Page 6 isn’t as thoroughly sourced as say the Wall Street Journal – hello, it’s GOSSIP! And perhaps some things were stretched. But if you ask me who to believe, it sure isn’t psycho-skunk-hair-baseball-dweeb.
I absolutely think Keith WANTS the Russert job. I absolutely think he contemplates quitting in a grandstand move if he’s not given a tryout. I totally can see him flipping out about not getting a first class train ticket to Washington D.C.
Funny though, if NBC actually DID swallow a ratings cyanide pill by putting Olby in the Russert chair, they would have gone from one polar opposite to the other. Russert actually listened to the “other side” of the mainstream liberal TV arguments about politics, and gave each side of the political aisle holy hell when they were spinning or evasive.
I would almost like to see what Keith’s version of Sunday Morning “fairness” amounts to. Would he put conservative guests in chairs that drop down into a pit of alligators at the first moment of dissention?
Keith, your meltdown is ready…. in 5… 4… 3… 2… 1.

What Would Irv Have Said?
Hi Steve:
When Bob brought up the other day the things may have been different with Brett had Irv been around, I really got to thinking. Since Holmgren, and likely Wolf departed, and his dad died, Favre has had no one to really fear. Next up, Ray Rhodes and Mike Sherman, who let him run wild. Since he didn't have accountability, he could become more of a diva with no one to bring him down to earth. By the time Thompson and McCarthy came along and weren't willing to let Brett walk all over the team, he had been unaccountable for long enough that he couldn't handle it and resented it. Hurt feelings resulted from him having to answer to someone for a change, and from fewer special "Brett rules".
I am very curious how he handles Mangini, whom I have been told by a Jets fan is hated by the players. And, wait till Mike Lupica shreds him by mid-October. Read the NY press, they are building him up and up, and they will love tearing him down.
See ya, donkey,

KO is something that is refreshing in the modern news media. He has an opinion. He does not dumb it down for the audience. He states it clearly and moves on. He does not pick a random side, then yell into the mircophone. He is not a characture of his form self. (See, Lindbau, Rush)
He has flaws, fully agree that it could have been a 3 minute rant.
Disagree about the Libby pardon. Pardoning the guy who potentially has information that could be used agaisnt the adminstration, or at least the VP is as bad as anything the Clintons did. (Just to be clear, I think Bill belongs in a jail cell, but I am not yet sure if Bush should be his cell mate.)
Best,
Edge PA
Did you know KO went to Cornell? He rarely mentions that fact. You have to listen to him for minutes at a time before he drops that nugget.
My question is, did he go to Cornell Ag and Tech or Cornell U?
And, what are his opinions on the criminals who took over the campus? Does he despise their tactics for using shotguns and rifles as much as he despises handguns? Even though no shots were fired, they displayed those menacing instruments of death (sarcasm off now please).
KO is not refreshing on the NEWS. For his opinion, you can get it (without the big words) on Charlie Gibson, Katie Couric, Meredith Viera, The View, Chris Matthwes, and pretty much any other talk show. He gives a slanted opinion, then does a snarky look at the camera. If he wanted Conan's show, he is qualified. Both are unfunny and have low ratings.
Olberfopp would destroy Meet the Press. He's horrible and a light-weight. I'd rather make Brokaw the permanent host. You'll get the same left-ward slant, but at least Brokaw has some gravitas.
And I don't know about "pardoning" Libby being "as bad as is bad as anything the Clintons did." First of all, Bush did not pardon Libby - he granted Libby clemency. Second, Libby lied to law enforcement about something that was not a crime - the public identification of Valerie Plame. We all know who "leaked" Ms. Plame's identity - former Dep. Secretary of State Richard Armitage, himself no fan of the war in Iraq. Google the September 1, 2006 Washington Post editorial, "End of an Affair," for a good history of the leak. There's nothing Libby could say that would "implicate" the President or V.P. in any "crime." Libby should not have been granted clemency, but that's not as bad as the horrid financially motivated pardon spree President Clinton engaged in as he was running out the White House's back door.
Contrast Libby with former Clinton administration cabinet member Sandy Burglar - uh, Berger. He lied to law enforcement about something that was a crime. Berger stole and destroyed original documents pertaining to the Clinton administration's handling of terrorism. These documents were exactly the kind materials that the 9/11 Commission wanted and was entitled to. Berger did not receive prison time, but Libby did. So maybe Libby's clemency is some form of rough justice after all.
KO is so stuck on his won intellegence or lack there of that he can't ever consider a position other than his own. Ol' Keith on Meet the Depressed would kill the show.
Did Czabe really just rip someone for acting like they know everything? Really?
Look, Olbermann goes over the line at times. There's no doubt about it. However, I respect the hell out of him for calling the extreme right to task. Self-righteous asses like Limbaugh and O'Reilly try to bully their way to make the uninitiated genuflect to their thinking. Olbermann calls them out and shows how they constantly contradict themselves. This administration deserves to be exploited for the constitution-shredding crooks they are ad most of the media is too afraid to do so. Just because he represents "the other side" doesn't make him a fool.
Umm, Olberman is an ass. He actually had the audacity, when talking about Russert, to say how Tim actually was unbiased. Which according to Olberman, "is exactly what we in the media strive for".
He has NEVER been unbiased, and has NEVER tried to be unbiased. He is a liberal left d-bag and to even breathe a word about him taking the helm of MTP is disgusting.
Just more proof your a lap dog in the conservative media machine. Nothing you say is surprising but how is he anything other than the natural balance to your fave like Laura Ingraham. Or O'Rielly or Rush. People who are liberal love him. Conservatives hate him. And the 85 percent of other Americans either don't care about politics or have learned to take guys like him with a grain of salt.
P.S. I wouldn't criticize somebody's integrity and talent considering how many obvious guffaws you've made on this page since the redesign.
Spirit '08:
"This administration deserves to be exploited for the bunch of constitution shredding crooks they are"
Here's a challenge: Site some specific examples instead of recalling a bumper sticker you saw on a prius.
Bush has let me down numerous times on myriad issues but not on his conviction to keep pummeling those sub-animal uncivilized terrorist ahabs into oblivion.
I agree with czabe, Olberman is a complete nutball jerk-off. Talented broadcaster, yes, complete ass-hat left wing propagandist, also yes.
Should've stuck to sports highlight guy role. People still like Dan Patrick. At least 50% of the people who used to respect Olberman now think he is an abject joke.
Well I guess honest journalism is not good enough for you Czaban. I mean first making up stuff about that Milwaukee Bucks_Philly Sixers series in 2001(A series where Iverson wasn't 100% and missed a game and the Bucks still couldn't win) and now going after one of the few honest TV anchors who reports the news accurately. I guess if you don't agree with Olbermann's political views and he constantly bashes your boys Bush(who deserves every piece of it) and Faux News then you can try to make him seem like he is less of a journalist.
I would love to see you write about how terrible Fox News and Bill O' Reilly but you share the same views so that will never happen.
Why don't you worry posting your 'snickies', whatever the hell that means. 3/4th of the 'snickies' you post on here are not even close to be attractive. I have never heard of that term until coming onto your site and have never come across a person that would call a woman that. They would probably laugh if they heard that term. Leave the political commentaries to professionals like Olbermann and worry about finding the next 'snicky' or complaining about the Sixers-Bucks 2001 playoff series which was not even close to being one-sided as you made it out to be.
--"and now going after one of the few honest TV anchors who reports the news accurately"--
I just snorted my beer through my nose when I read this statement.
--"Leave the political commentaries to professionals like Olbermann " --
OMG Stop it !! You're killing me !! HAHA...
Listen - calling Olbermann an "honest" anchor and a "professional" is a bit like calling your pig a dog.
Which is ok I guess. But don't expect the rest of us to admire his long coat and join you in bewilderment that he won't play "fetch".
Seriously - what color is the sky in your world?
Oh yeah - for those interested in some of Keith's mroe professional moments, please go here...

Spirit; Yes, it does make him a fool for representing the other side. Anybody who represent the other side is a fool.
Oh and ummm "Bootsy" if you don't like the blogs, don't read them. Go find a nice group, watch NBC, and give each other happy endings!
Both O'Reilly and Olbermann are egomaniacs who present slanted political commentary largely for effect. I always think to myself that both of them must love these sorts of polarized, heated discussions. As long as people buy into their sensationalized "journalism" in such an emotional way, these guys keep raking it in. To say Olbermann is "one of the few honest TV anchors who reports the news accurately" is simply laughable.
I admit that I watch both of these guys from time to time for exactly what they are: news-based entertainment -- nothing more. But to act like Olbermann is Walter Cronkite (or even a Russert or Stephanopoulos, who seem pretty fair overall) is just a joke.
While I can certainly see how someone might find O'Reilly unlikable, the reason I find Olbermann flat-out repugnant is his smugness. Olbermann's conceit prevents him from seeing that smugness is simply not a likable trait.
I have a hard time believing Olberdouche believes that insane nonsense he spews. I mean, COME ON. The fake emotions, scripted camera close ups, and general weirdness aren't enough to give his game away???
It's professional wrestling quality stuff. I half expect him to break character like Shatner on SNL yelling at the Trekkie dweebs. "You can't POSSIBLY believe this shit!"
He found a niche audience (insane leftists, high schoolers, nutjobs) and is exploiting it, and it's to his credit, sure. Anything to make a buck.
I'm not sure what is more pathetic, his sycophants thinking he is an honest "newsman" or Olberdouche's ridiculousness.
He blogs at an extreme left-wing site, the Daily Kos. That pretty much sums up what he's about.

Reminder to only press submit once at Zabe's 1967-era Univac-powered site...
I take dumps each morning that are larger than KO's viewing audience.
He makes democrats look bad... and I'm on the D-team. I hate this guy, but I hate these "pundit" types in general anyway.
To quote Rupert Murdoch, "I fired Olbermann, he's crazy" says it all. Picking on Olbermann is like picking on a sick grandparent in failing health, it is just not right. The man is looney, he implodes in front of our eyes each night (for the 2-3 of you who actually watch that ratings disaster of a show). I assume people tune in because they like to see mentally disturnbed people try to function in normal society. I grant you he has a great memory, but so does Charles Manson, most intellectually disturbed humans have a great proclivity to remember odd facts. Watch Manson's jail house interviews with Geraldo, he was doing "Countdown" 10 years before Olbermann. The man is mentally challenged and deranged. Mark my words, he will do something outrageous in public that will eventually do him in forever. Praise the lord when that day happens!
wait, wut?
I like pancakes
I'm more disturbed by Olbermann's fixation/man-crush on O'Reilly more than anything.
--"I just snorted my beer through my nose when I read this statement.--"
That sounds like a personal problem. Maybe you need to seek help.
--"OMG Stop it !! You're killing me !! HAHA...
Listen - calling Olbermann an "honest" anchor and a "professional" is a bit like calling your pig a dog. --"
That's your opinion. Don't be mad because I see things different. You sound like a typical smug conservative Bill O'Reilly tight up the ass kind of person. "I CAN'T READ IT THERE'S NO WORDS ON IT .. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS TO PLAY US OUT... WE'LL DO IT LIVE, FUCK IT"
--"Which is ok I guess. But don't expect the rest of us to admire his long coat and join you in bewilderment that he won't play "fetch".--"
LOL like I need your approval for it to be ok. Please.
"--Seriously - what color is the sky in your world?--"
I don't know why don't you tell me since you seem to think you have all the right answers.
Oh and umm Sol rosenburgh if I don't like the blogs, then I am going to comment on them. That's why they have a link at the top that's called 'COMMENTS'. You must have thought it said'COMMENTS THAT AGREE WITH SOL ROSENBURGH' or 'COMMENTS THAT ONLY AGREE WITH THE BLOG'.
Why don't you see if you can get that done you self-absorbed jerk.
"--Go find a nice group, watch NBC, and give each other happy endings--"
Well it seems like YOU have already found that place on czabe.com. Congratulations.
Bootsy, the point is Olberfopp (and O'Reilly) are not "newsmen" or "journalists." They are cable pundits. They deal in opinion, not straight dissemination of information. Let's not pretend that what Olberfopp says is "objective" or "honest." He may *honestly* believe what he says when he goes on his rants, but it's still just an opinion.
That face he makes when he's super serious is priceless. It says, "I'm a self-righteous dandy and you should listen to my enlightened pronouncements." I bet he used to get his ass kicked a lot in high school.
It's amazing that the same liberals who bitch about O'Reilly have no problem with Olbermann. Olbermann isn't a journalist or a talk show host as someone already said. He is a paid puppet of the Democrat party. Seriously. He doesn't even make an attempt to be objective.
He is the Sean Hannity of the liberal movement. That would normally be all right with me because everyone is entitled to their views. But my problem is this, Olbermann cringes when he is described as liberal. He hates it. He claims he was just as hard on the previous administration as he is on this one.
Well, I didn't pay as much attention back then. Maybe he is just an anti-establishment kind of guy. Maybe he just likes being a jack ass. But as someone who has worked in politics inside Washington, I have a problem with people like Olbermann because they think they know everything. By the way, I have the same issue with O'Reilly as well. But at least O'Reilly has Democrat guests on his show. Plus, he will show viewer email that criticizes him. Also, he does criticize Republicans as well, unlike Olbermann who doesn't say anything bad about the Dems.

I love how you call him Olberfopp(don't know what that means, makes no sense) but don't call O'Reilly anything. Olbermann may make funny faces and all that but at least the guy shows you that he is disgusted by what is happening to this country and it's current 'leadership' and not putting blinders on like Fox does. Thinking everything is great and we are winning the war and we need to start another one crap.
I think you like many others on here don't Olbermann because he makes his point strongly and is not afraid to show it. Who cares what is face looks like. What I care about is the message in his commentary and those words need to be said to an audience. He's not OReally sitting there screaming and yelling at his guests that don't agree with him and about ready to start a fight on the set. It amazes me that people say that Olbermann is crazy or arrogant or whatever and I watch O'Reilly's show and this dude starts arguing with his guests if they don't share the same opinion as him. Then you look at that tape of him on Inside Edition and it all comes full circle. O'Reilly is a certified nut.
Bootsy, I think you are on the wrong site. You better "moveon"...
And, BTW, I don't like Olberdouche b/c he talks like he is down the middle, which he is clearly not. This is confusing for the mindless fools who actually think he is reporting the news.
He, like the rest of the lib pukes of the world, want to blame Bush for EVERYTHING. I mean, when they blamed Bush for Hurrican Katrina, that was it for me. You can't blame him for a friggin' hurricane. You can't even blame him for the evacuation or clean up. Like its the President's personal responsibility.
Nagin didn't take any action, but nobody blamed him!!! But, that is the kind of crap your boy Olberdouche does. He doesn't report the news, he reports his agenda.
That's what all of the so-called "news" services do. ALL OF THEM!!! Its' all propaganda.
I happen to like Czabe's point of view, that is why I visit this site. I don't like the liberal agenda. Hence, I don't go to their sites.
I learned long ago that arguing with a lib is useless. They never let facts get in the way of their "feelings".
That's the bottom line.
bgz73, I think you are on the wrong site. You are crazy like a "fox"...why don't you "rush" over there.
You sound like you need to apply for Fox News as soon as people with that bs you just typed. Bush wasn't out golfing or fishing or whatever he doesn't do that's important when Katrina was happening. Lots of people blamed Nagin why do you think he isn't mayor anymore. He and the gov. of Louisiana got blamed too.
You and your conservative friends on here put blinders on and only want to see and hear what they want.
'lib pukes', I love it name calling you sound like a two year old.
That's the top and bottom line.
Bootsy, according to my Webster's Ninth Collegiate Dictionary, a fop is (1) a foolish or silly person, (2) a man who is devoted to or vain about his appearance or dress, or (3) a coxcomb or dandy. Yep. That's Olbermann. "Olberfopp" makes the point quite nicely if I do say so myself.
I didn't call O'Reilly a fop because he isn't one. Blowhard? Sure. Fop? I don't see it. In any event, I don't look to either one of them to be "objective" news sources.
At least O'Reilly has guests with whom he disagrees. When was the last time you saw Olbermann interview a conservative? [crickets chirping . . .]
Instead of cherishing his minor league opinion guy status, Olbermann (there, are you satisfied?) has pretensions of being Edward R. Murrow. That's laughable. As for making his point strongly and not being afraid to show it, when he gets his dander up he reminds me of Niles Crane complaining about a poorly performed opera.
Doc, calling Olbermann a fop still makes no sense to me. Out of all the words THAT'S the one you came up with. Even if you don't like him I still don't see how that definition applies to him.
As for Olbermann not having conservatives on his show is not his fault. I am willing to bet that his producers or whoever have probably asked conservatives for an interview and they probably decline because they are going to get asked tough questions or have no interest because they can go on Fox instead. I have seen Olbermann say that he asked Republican such and such to come on his show and he says they declined. It's not like dude isn't trying.
The difference between O'Reilly and Olbermann is that O'Reilly HAS ratings. Olbermann's ratings are non-existent. Actually, FOX's Neil Cavuto's 4 o'clock business report does better than Olbermann!
Bootsy,
Check yourself. The brilliant constituency of New Orleans re-elected Nagin as mayor. They deserve what they get.
And Republicans won't go on Olbermann because he doesn't have dick for ratings.
I am not a big fan of the Bush administration. Additionally, I have had to turn the channel at times when Shawn Hannity or Bill O’Reilly get on their arrogant rants or when they bully guests with whom they disagree. Still, Keith’s invective and incomprehensible hatred for Bush and FOX news personnel are something I cannot stomach.
I hate the fucker and I hope he goes down the next time we have an attack by Al-Quida.
Don't talk to bootsy anymore. He or she is nuts.
Bootsy, if you don't see how the word "fop" fits Olbermann, then you just don't get it. As for your explanation why conservatives don't go on his show, that's just plain foolish or silly speculation. Conservatives routinely went on Meet the Press to face tough but fair Tim Russert. What makes anyone think they are scared of appearing on faux-hip, smug, sanctimonious, pretentious and - yes - foppish Keith Olbermann's lame program?
toby, your mom is nuts.
Sorry, bootsy, but until you start putting together more cogent, rational thoughts, no one is going to take your comments seriously. Hell, just putting together complete, spelling-error-free sentences would be a start toward convincing others that you can be rational. The factual errors don't help either. Slow yourself down. ...and wipe the drool from your chin; the staff is on its way in with your dinner, so computer time is over.
Of course no one is going to take my comments seriously. This is a conservative based forum on a conservative talk show hosts site who works for a conservative company. No one is going to want to see the views of the opposite side. toby, you and the others can't stand to see someone stand up to you and I love it.
--"Hell just putting together complete, spelling-error-free sentences would be a start toward convincing others that you can be rational."--
Please stop making up stuff. My thoughts are completely rational and error-free. If they are irrational and full of errors then why are you responding to me you idiot.
1. bootsy, bootsy. you troubled little man. See how many errors you can find in just the below three sentences of your commentary.
"Thinking everything is great and we are winning the war and we need to start another one crap.
I think you like many others on here don't Olbermann because he makes his point strongly and is not afraid to show it. Who cares what is face looks like."
Eloquent, bootsy, down right eloquent.
2. "Lots of people blamed Nagin why do you think he isn't mayor anymore." ERROR. But Hoss already shut you up on this one.
3. Look, 1. and 2. are somewhat nitpicky though. What makes you irrational is that you see Olbermann as a balanced, straightforward newsman. You are so blinded that you think I'm the "opposite side" and you are "stand[ing] up to" me. I am not a conservative and I don't think George Bush has been a good President. I am rational enough, however, to see that Olbermann presents unfair, heavily slanted, views on Bush and conservatives in general. Check out my first comment of this thread. I said O'Reilly does the same thing on the opposite side. They do this for effect and to titillate people like you.
Look, go ahead and enjoy Olbermann for what he is if you want. If you find him entertaining, watch him like you would any other comedy show. Just try to take your head out of the clouds and understand that Olbermann is not presenting you cold, hard journalism. The U.S. needs people to think more clearly and critically in making decisions for themselves. If you don't get your head out of the clouds, you'll unknowingly find yourself falling over a cliff with your nose up Olbermann's ass.
Olbermann doesn't scare me...what scares me is that Bootsy has a vote...god help us!
toby.. oh my god, what kind of mess are you talking about.
--"2. "Lots of people blamed Nagin why do you think he isn't mayor anymore." ERROR. But Hoss already shut you up on this one."--
I don't see the error here. Like I said before you are reaching for the stars with this.
--"3. Look, 1. and 2. are somewhat nitpicky though.--"
Exactly, now shutup. You are certainly no professor of English. I am done with you. You are proved nothing to me except to try to make yourself look more knowledgeable than you are.
--"Olbermann doesn't scare me...what scares me is that Bootsy has a vote...god help us!"--
Mango, you are so not funny dude. I know George Carlin just died but please don't try to take his place with this corny shit.
--"Exactly, now shutup. You are certainly no professor of English. I am done with you. You are proved nothing to me except to try to make yourself look more knowledgeable than you are."--
I meant to say 'You have proved nothing to me..'
I had to edit that because the almighty Professor toby would come in here and give me English grammar lessons.
Bootsy, please reconcile:
"'lib pukes', I love it name calling you sound like a two year old." - Bootsy, June 27, 2008, 1:48 p.m.
"toby, your mom is nuts." Bootsy, June 28, 2008, 6:29 p.m.
"This is a conservative based forum on a conservative talk show hosts site who works for a conservative company. No one is going to want to see the views of the opposite side. toby, you and the others can't stand to see someone stand up to you and I love it."
Bootsy, what do you mean that "[n]o one is going to want to see the views of the opposite side"? Why do you project onto others a reluctance to listen to opposing viewpoints? That's very revealing of you. The marketplace of ideas is a wonderful thing. If you have something to say, have at it. I want to drag your ideas kicking and screaming into the light of day. By all means, "stand up to" me, if that's what you think you're doing.
bootsy says, "--'2. 'Lots of people blamed Nagin why do you think he isn't mayor anymore." ERROR. But Hoss already shut you up on this one.'--
I don't see the error here. Like I said before you are reaching for the stars with this."
If anyone out there is still following this, please chime in whether you "see" the error bootsy is making here. This is almost comical because of course Hoss already specifically pointed out the factual error to bootsy. I'm just hoping that if enough people simply chime in saying, "bootsy, if you don't flat out see the factual error in your statement, God help you," bootsy will think to himself, "hey, maybe i do have a blind spot and my mind has been clouded by my overzealousness."
I know it's unlikely, but before convincing bootsy that Olbermann might be just a wee bit slanted in his presentation of the news, let's at least see if we can get bootsy to acknowledge when he's made an error.
Oh, and bootsy, i think you might have meant "grasping at straws," not "reaching for the stars." If you did mean "reaching for the stars," thank you for the compliment.
bootsy = Miss Teen South Carolina???
shoelaces, waffles, paper clips. Such as, so forth, such as.
ok, let me be the first to call bullshit on this "bootsy" person. no one is that stupid or completely biased. i think it is czabe pulling everyones chain to keep the message board going. it makes sence because it is a newly designed site. seriously this person thinks that nagin is no longer the mayor of N O. it's called google dumb-ass might want to try it.
nice try cazbe.

Bush has let me down numerous times on myriad issues but not on his conviction to keep pummeling those sub-animal uncivilized terrorist ahabs into oblivion.”
Is this specific enough for you:
(From today’s NY Times)
After the Sept. 11 attacks, President Bush committed the nation to a “war on terrorism” and made the destruction of Mr. bin Laden’s network the top priority of his presidency. But it is increasingly clear that the Bush administration will leave office with Al Qaeda having successfully relocated its base from Afghanistan to Pakistan’s tribal areas, where it has rebuilt much of its ability to attack from the region and broadcast its messages to militants across the world.
Whatever sea-shizzle, you quote something from the NY times as fact...hahahahahahahaha! And don't tell me, it's from an opinion piece... that would be so fitting
BTW, my challenge was to Free Spitit 08 or whatever his/her tag was.
OK, al qaeda is much stronger now...
Fact is they haven't done jack squat on US soil in almost 7 years, or is that merely coincidence? They are raging in new numbers and in strength because of Bush, but somehow they haven't so much as spit on the sidewalk on american soil since 9/11?
Give me a break, get a life and get ready to see more terrorism on US soil the seciond that socialist hack Obama takes over...
Get ready for some terrorism on US soil? Really. That’s overtly the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. You want Americans to die to prove the Bush administration was holding court protecting our soil? What are you going to say if there is no attack during Barack’s watch? Coincidence.
I’m not arguing that the ideology for protecting our sacred soil and targeting those responsible isn’t sound, but the execution has been anything but. You’re hanging your hat on the fact that Bush hasn’t allowed a second attack on his watch, (which BTW is as stupid as saying, since I caught my wife cheating on me, I’m wiser and she hasn’t since) but at what cost. We’re in a prolonged military engagement that has cost more lives (both American and Iraqi) than anyone had planned, and Bush has failed to corral the most extreme culprits of the group responsible for the attack. Better yet, his missteps have inflamed Al Qaeda and increased their numbers and desire to indeed launch another devastating attack on our soil.
I wouldn’t say the BA is pounding its chest as much as it’s counting the days until the blame can indeed be passed on to the next administration, whomever it is.
Olberman is so over-the-top he's become a caricature ... sort of like Ron Burgandy, but instead of a clueless, conceited dimwit, KO is a conceited, smug, ranting left-wing lunatic. The fact that NBC uses him for election coverage and other news "analysis" shows how low NBC "news" division has stooped.
seacrud -- parrot those moronic dem talking points somewhere else.
Sea whizzle
You're an idiot. Al qaeda is praying to god, oops, almighty allah, that Obama is our next president, plain and simple.
Who's in charge does make a difference by the way. Take Reagan, Ronald, for instance. The second he put his hand on the bible the americans held hostage in iran (for over one year) were released. Carter was a typical limp wristed weak liberal (a political mirror image of Obama btw) and the iranians made him look the abject fool while our fellow americans were scared shitless in that miserable hell-hole.
Reagan then spent the next few years bringing the mighty USSR (not to mention East Germany and all the other eastern bloc commies) to their pathetic wimpering knees. A joke of a president like Carter would have appeased (and performed figurative fellatio on) Gorbachev on demand.
Reagan, however, stared Gorby down, never blinked, and in the end kicked the ever loving shit out him and for that matter communisn itself, just as he set out to the day he put his hand on that bible.
Who's in charge matters most in matters of war and terrorism sea pizzle, Barack Obama will probably make Carter look good in retrospect if that unqualified joke gets into office.
That's my last reply to liberal stupidity...today anyway
What a lot of you posters are forgetting is, Olbermann's been promoted to the Head Office of NBC, one of the most biased, if not thee most biased, left-leaning donkey-swastika TV network there is in America, not unlike Al-Jazeera - maybe you should do your homework before you go around making excuses for the guy. Czabe's right, if his message is factual and not the mud-slinging personal bully-pulpit tactic (that it is), then he would have everyone paying attention. Get it, his message would be considered righteous. Everyone who wastes time with MSNBC suffers with this guy still being given his own Show. Russert is(was) 100x whatever Keith O. thinks he ever could be. At least Russert had the guts to allow the opposing view to be heard during the same time frame, Olbermann runs away from the option. How dare anyone question Keith Olbermann, he's superior to all of us, yea right! Think donkey-swastika again! BTW, Keith, spiderholes are on the left.
They don't call what the mainstream Big 3 are pushing as propaganda for nothing. You think Hollywood is totally scripted? You need to wake up and look real hard at Network News. Of all the pundits out there, only O'Reilly appears to have the tenacity to look closely at both sides and call out both sides. And, if any of you did your homework, you would already know that a Poll taken inside FOXNEWS came back as almost 70% liberal for the Staff - that smacks of BS when you listen to the Adline of "we discuss, you decide" (or whatever). All you have to do is Google up whatever you disagree with on the FOXNEWS commentary(stay away from the Blogs in doing so, tho') The difference between FOXNEWS and the Big 3, is the Big 3 simply won't allow time for the discussion that FOXNEWS does - they purposely avoid the option, by cramming in other bullet points that have barely anything to do with the topic - censorship anyone - subliminal indoctrination anyone - sit Ubu sit...?
Get real people - over half of Europe is going Conservative already, for good reason. Is America still waiting for the next great Sitcom to copy from the BBC, yet again? (I cite All in the Family as a great example to that) There's a reason precincts all over the European Union, not just the Top Posts, have voted in Conservatives & started walking away from the Lefties, including that stupid global-warming con job rant. Carbon credits? Seriously?? Just check how you run your house, finances & all and then ask why you would run your Country any other way than that (??) It ain't that difficult, but then maybe it is, self-admitted vietnamese child-killer John Kerry almost got elected President. You can tell Voters in this Country hate doing their own Homework - it's on the List of What They're Not Gonna Do.
