[...] MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann, host of Countdown to No Ratings, was furious with Glenn for his “weightphobia.” It was just last year Olbermann called FNC’s Roger Ailes “fat ass.” Olbermann Watch has more in last night’s recap. [...]

[...] Says Hotline, “[T]he threat here is that Fox News will somehow treat Edwards differently if he refuses to appear at their debate.” No, the “threat” here is that Fox News won’t treat Edwards differently if he refuses to appear. He’s the one trying to black them out, not vice versa. Ailes’s point is that they’re going to keep covering him regardless. One can imagine these same words coming out of Helen Thomas’s mouth vis-a-vis Bush refusing to call on her for three years, except then they’d be hailed as a stirring statement of journalistic principle from the dean of the White House press corps. As it is, Olby will probably wring a few more fat jokes out of it. [...]

[...] From last night’s show. Gratifying, yet not as gratifying as one might hope simply because it doesn’t rise to the level of viciousness Olbermann himself operates at. One of the reasons righties are disappointed in “The Half-Hour News Hour,” I think, is because they crave the kind of catharsis the left enjoys when watching Stewart and Colbert humiliate their opponents. Ace derides that as “clapper” humor, where the audience laughs and hoots to show its approval of the message, but it’s not as much of a pose as he suggests. They’re genuinely enjoying it, it’s just that it’s less for the funny than the bloodsport. THHNH would be worthy if it was cutting even if it wasn’t funny (i.e., if it was like Olbermann’s show), but it’s neither. It wields a butter knife. [...]

Was Olberdouche telling fat jokes when Jerry Nachman was Editor in Chief at MSNBC?

Eh, he probably was, overgrown kindergartener that he is.

SailorDave,

Excellent description.

I think most non-Koolaid drinkers would agree that Olbermann suffers from mental illness.

He’s obviously a megalomaniac; has delisions of grandeur; suffers the malignant strain of BDS; extreme narcissism. Oh yeah…and he’s a complete douchebag.

I for one am glad that Allah continues to highlight the jackass. If he had more of a following then I would be more apt go along with the “ignore him and see if he goes away” tact.

But the way things are, it’s more important to ridicule him than ignore him. And it’s more fun too.

This guy is about 2 trailer park residents short of any Jerry Springer episode. Is anyone else getting that vibe? It’s almost like he’s goofing on himself and anyone with the bad taste or dead remote-control batteries to tune in. I take him as seriously as I take a Chihuahua owner with a “Beware of Dog” sign in the yard.

Look, you really need to give the man a break. He simply hasn’t gotten to two-syllable words yet. Since “cat” is scarcely an insult, “fat” is the best he can do. I should think you’d be glad that at least one liberal is making an effort to break the ignorance barrier.

I actually don’t have a problem if he calls Ailes a fat ass or whatever. He just shouldn’t go around thinking that he can suddenly flip a switch and become Edward R. Murrow. Lowbrow humor is fine with me, but it basically precludes you from the sanctimoniousness that has lately become KO’s favorite thing.

Maybe they’ll start a new news channel…MSNBC 2 (like espn2)
where Olberholerman can find a new home.. Broadcasting cable news to Antarctica, Lichtenstein and the Bermuda Triangle where he might really be appreciated (as historic ~~mystery~~ misery)

I think he’s already had “the talk” with Abrams. That, or the rumormill has already gotten the word around the office that he’s out soon. Olberdouche is just trying to go out in a blaze of glory. He knows he’s toast.

My gut instinct? The “special comments” were a part of his last attempt at salvaging his career at MSNBC. They didn’t work more than twice and now he knows that light at the end of the tunnel is actually a freight train. Crash and burn you noble savage, crash and burn.

I don’t think Allahpundit needs anyone’s advice on whether to continue to cover KO’s disintegration (although I hasten to add that he should heed my advice not to cover the antics of the UN and the “Security Council” except as comedy). KO will lose his show when the executives at MSNBC see that he’s hurting the brand. Whenever Allahpundit calls attention to KO’s disgraceful behavior, he hastens the day when the executives perceive KO’s repulsiveness. As he continues to claim one victim after another, the MSM may learn to fear Allah as much as they fear, well–Allah.

Did I mention that his throwing out the figure of $100,000 cannot be a coincidence? Dollars to donuts that is exactly the amount that he so piously handed over to Pope Bill, in what, to any sane mind, was one of the most disgraceful moments in journalistic history.

But in his own, righteous, and quite un-sane mind… he… is the embodiment of…GOOD.

It would be funnier if it weren’t so creepy and pathetic.

that was exactly who he was trying to impersonate with his 9-minute emoting last week, ER Murrow. Sad. After watching that, I actually wiki’d him, to see if he had any kind of education, because the reasoning seemed so disconnected — he did actually get a BA in Broadcast Communication, and then he went on to a successful career as a sport announcer! He even had his own show on ESPN!

I was laughing my ass off.

Like all comic characters (and I learned this from the master himself) he is blind to his own obsessions, oblivious to how others perceive him — and the funny thing is, the entire Left, who used to be the party of Scoop Jackson and Joe Lieberman — willfully indulge him in his narcissistic fantasy! KOMEDY with a Kapital K!
