Classy.

But I guess this is the sort of thing you have to do when your serious political news show is being out-rated by game show reruns.

What, has GregH become our celebrity whipping boy?

I think we are above that. I hope we are, anyway. We’re a family here at Hot Air. GregH just seems to be that cousin or sibling that we don’t get along with. That’s no reason to mistreat him.

Well, when someone insist on painting a target on himself and waves his arms begging for attention, you just know you have to take a shot. Ya just gotta.

Well, I’m not above it, lol. Seriously though, he’s not a whipping boy, but he’s already made himself known as a liberal defender of the indefensible and talking point regurgitator, so I think my prediction was pretty on target… especially sense there are only he and honora playing the game.

Well, part of this is payback. He’s named Michelle the “worst person in the world” at least twice on his show, and if memory serves, one of those times was on a day when terrorists killed a hostage in Iraq.

The other part of it is that he’s a preening, smug, disingenuous, egotistical douche. Bashing him is joyful.

Oh I get it. Still think in the end, it feeds itself. Frankly I enjoyed him a lot more when he was more wry and less political. Potato, potahto.

Which is exactly what he wants. Don’t you ever get tired of this endless volleying?

Good comeback honora.

He want’s to be ridiculed at laughed at?

As for the volleying, no, I enjoy squashing you like a ripe melon

The volleying I was refering to was between the right and left (Olberman says…Hannity says….blah, blah, blah). I am happy for you that you enjoy smashing me like a ripe melon time after time–I really don’t remember any interaction with you but I’m sure you’re right.

Parodying the parody of KO isn’t “volleying”. It’s more like an overhead smash.

Would you rather watch a Keith Olbermann special comment or a fat woman explain the best way to tend a cabbage patch?

Definitely option B there, AP. At least I would be smarter after watching the cabbage segment.

Overdumb is not irrelevant. He’s the self-appointed poster boy for the extreme left and therefore deserves to have the spotlight shining brightly upon him here at HotAir.

Dan Abrams, general manager at downward-trending MSNBC, cited Olby’s recent success in landing suck-up interviews with Democrat power players, and has renamed Olby’s show ….. Godown with Keith Olbermann.

Not,

GoingThere

The bright spot is, there’s no one left to lose to. He’s exhausted the universe of possibilities, unless Nielsen wants to start measuring him against non-news networks like Home & Garden TV. Which, perhaps, would not be to Olby’s advantage.

Dearest Allah:

Test Patterns, EBS Tests, and the Ronco Food Dehydrator.

Hening is right. His next employer will likely be the new American Al Jazeera startup.

Just wait, there are libs out there ready to claim that Olby’s ratings are on the rise and O’Reilly’s are plummeting. And they’ll keep saying until three weeks after his show is pulled and they suddenly realize he’s not on the air any longer.

My money is on GregH… Come on Greg, you know you want to take a stab at it.

Does anyone else see the similarity between Olbermann and this guy? It is haunting.

I mean the guy on the left. His name is Bert.

With all the fauxtography we cannot draw any conclusions. But they look alike, They talk alike.
