Olby: If Hugh Hewitt is for it, who can not be against it?

Here’s the most shameless left-wing water carrier on television, a man who once donated to Bill Clinton’s charity on camera, knocking amnesty shill Jon Kyl for taking advice from the dark precincts of right-wing talk radio. Would the Democratic Senate leadership ever stoop so low as to solicit legislative input from its own grassroots movement? Why … yes, they would. But that’s “people-powered politics” at work, quite distinct from the Republican “noise machine.”
Like Dean says, he doesn’t even attempt a critique on the merits. And no wonder: wait until you see what suggestion Hewitt made that’s got this Trutherish crank all hot and bothered.

Olby is so deranged, it almost makes you want the fairness doctrine.
TheSitRep on June 26, 2007 at 9:11 AM
fantasy: Olby in a jug. No air. Me gettum woody.
james hooker on June 26, 2007 at 9:35 AM
Love the music :P
debradsh on June 26, 2007 at 9:36 AM
Man, he’s worse than that guy who does the Big Show on ESPN with Dan Patrick!
radjah shelduck on June 26, 2007 at 9:43 AM
The irony is how hateful Olbermann claims talk radio to be, yet in an average segment he is more hateful than Rush Limbaugh is in one day.
Now the question is…when are we going to have Coulter vs. Olbermann on Pay-Per-View?
MadisonConservative on June 26, 2007 at 9:47 AM
We may get help from unexpected sources today. Oberdouche is the embodiment of the disconnect from reality of the wide left mentality. The whole ‘worst person’ shtick is a crude tactic designed to appeal to the the lowest common denominator of Jerry Springer types, and is probably creating more of the same.
sonnyspats1 on June 26, 2007 at 9:48 AM
He is being paid by all you wingnuts who subscribe to cable.
For sure he couldn’t generate income for the network without their revenue sharing agreement with the cable networks. Olby and Matthews would be selling their cars in a free market was running the show.

WE may get help link revisited
sonnyspats1 on June 26, 2007 at 9:50 AM
I can’t even watch this tard. There is a reason O’Reilly never mentions the Olberdouche’s name on his show. How long can a guy stay on the air attacking Fox News and conservatives with only 3-4 viewers a night?
saltydogg14 on June 26, 2007 at 9:57 AM
Never have paid for television. Likely never will, until they start having “pick only the channels you want” services. MSNBC won’t be one of them.
MadisonConservative on June 26, 2007 at 9:59 AM
I thank God at times like this for giving up television.
Andy from Beaverton on June 26, 2007 at 10:00 AM
Olby and Chris Matthews have ratings so low that without their immediate famililies watching they may not have any ratings at all. Typical liberal swill doesn’t even sell to other liberals.
volsense on June 26, 2007 at 10:01 AM
It’s like watching a self-important dweeb’s vlog on YouTube, except Olby actually gets advertising dollars.
common sensineer on June 26, 2007 at 10:09 AM
Coulter would kick his butt. I bet she is real scrappy. And she has the reach, she’s huge. Don’t forget all that rage she has, as well.
cjn on June 26, 2007 at 10:10 AM
Actually, he is paid by the companies who buy advertising on his show. Ask Imus.
He’s a joke. Whats sad is that there are enough people who watch him to convince companies to pay for advertising on his show. If he has no ratings he would have no advertisers and no show.
JackStraw on June 26, 2007 at 10:10 AM
The only people who watch Olberturd these days appear to be right wing bloggers who tune in just to write down the stupid things he says.
Frank Nitti on June 26, 2007 at 10:11 AM
I apologize if my ramblings make no sense. Still new at this.
cjn on June 26, 2007 at 10:11 AM
Nuance, indeed!
revolutionismyname on June 26, 2007 at 10:12 AM
What a shining intellectually light Olby is. /sarc off
Spirit of 1776 on June 26, 2007 at 10:12 AM
The fact that NBC/MSNBC has this guy on the air is proof positive that you do not need ratings to stay on the air at the peacock network.
All you have to do is have BDS and hate America.
Michael Savage had higher ratings than either Olbermann or Phil Donahue yet he was canceled.
MSNBC is the proud network of Red Diaper Doper Babies.
ScottyDog on June 26, 2007 at 10:21 AM
Easiest way to keep Blowlby distracted is to email him every clip of Bill O’Reilly you can find. He’s so obsessed with Bill that it’ll keep him busy screaming about him and nothing else for months.
Kowboy on June 26, 2007 at 10:26 AM
ohyea… msnbc… that station I blocked and don’t miss…
Olberdouche, you insipid little oopmahloompah fake tan orange carnival freak… What have you EVER contributed? EVER done to make a difference?
Here’s a SPESHUL comment for you: “!(*&&^%(!)#%& OFF!!”

OUTSTANDING!!!!!
Nolamom67 on June 26, 2007 at 10:45 AM
Nothing ‘hateful’ about Limbaugh OR Coulter… I’m surprised anyone would make such a comparison. Where’s your sense of proportion, MadCon…? :)
Rugged Individual on June 26, 2007 at 10:46 AM
Now, let me tell you how I really feel… ;-)
Mazztek on June 26, 2007 at 10:48 AM
Care with your logic there. Never said Limbaugh was hateful. Just said Olbermann was more hateful than Limbaugh. ;)
As for Coulter, meh. I see her as little different than the right’s Rosie. Both say things that are intentionally over the line to increase ratings/book sales, and sound very uncomfortable when really faced with what they’ve said.
MadisonConservative on June 26, 2007 at 11:07 AM
critique on the merits
Bwaaahhhhaaaaaa
AP wins his own thread!
On-my-soap-box on June 26, 2007 at 11:18 AM
this is one of those times im glad those clips get blocked on my work comp. kinda like ro-ro…. though the only ro-ro clip i was ever able to watch was the one on the trapeeze thing….ugggg she should have gotten the nod from olby as the “worst person in the world” that day
gberez on June 26, 2007 at 11:45 AM
It’d be nice to see the worst person in the world actually be one of the worst people in the world every now and again…
MadConservative, what part of Madison?
BadgerHawk on June 26, 2007 at 11:51 AM
Whatever. Olbie’s scowl is burned in, permanent.
Bacchus on June 26, 2007 at 12:12 PM
Until a month ago, Monona. Now I’m living smack in the middle, just on the east edge of Middleton. How about you?
MadisonConservative on June 26, 2007 at 12:20 PM
Right off the square on Hamilton, but I’m down in Alabama right now for flight school. Sure do miss summer on the terrace…
BadgerHawk on June 26, 2007 at 12:22 PM
Just think! When you get back, the MadiFrisco trolley will be under way!
MadisonConservative on June 26, 2007 at 12:24 PM
This guy was a sportscaster, right?
Well then, he should definitely have his own show.
see-dubya on June 26, 2007 at 1:04 PM
Hmmm Olberdouche not married, no children, 50 years old, no girlfriend. Think he has an agenda?
Andy in Agoura Hills on June 26, 2007 at 2:17 PM
He’d have to have an intellect to have an agenda. KO has neither. He’s a loud-mouthed Democrat Gunga-Din.
His swiss-cheese logic would be funny if it weren’t so insipid.
Kyl isn’t going to have a good time after his vote today, but he’s far from any ‘worst’. He voted AYE on today’s cloture in order to introduce more amendments. What he failed to consider is that Reid will now try to slam-dunk the full bill TODAY, and Senators will have to reverse their cloture vote and be named a flip-flopper, or pass it.

Remember his ongoing fascination with Roger Clemens on ESPN? Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
That’s beside the point. This guy just annoys me on so many different levels. I can’t watch this channel, because I’d need to buy a new TV every day. And one thing about MSNBC. I swear this is true, but you’re going to think I’m crazy. There’s senior housing near where I live. Most of them have that basic cable package where you’re only supposed to get the local stations, for reception purposes. They all get MSNBC as a “bonus”. Is this how they get their ratings? And does this make me a conspiracy theorist?
PowWow on June 26, 2007 at 4:52 PM
How bad, weird, and/or hateful must you be to get fired from ESPN? A psych eval is in order, post haste, and THAT would be something to read about!
sgtstogie on June 26, 2007 at 5:16 PM
KO couldn’t even handle Jackie Mason on his show so what hope would he have against Ann Coulter?
