What’s next? Worserest? Poopoo-head? It’s amazing how Ubermensch can think childish name-calling is serious journalism.

Can someone tell him to paste a large capital “L” on his forehead? Viewers unfamiliar with this hack-journalist’s astounding lack of originality or journalistic credibility really should be warned, and since he has but three or four viewers per night, the majority of our news-viewing public remains unaware.

Olby has gained a significant number of viewers due to the media’s treating him like a special-Edward R. Murrow.

Seriously, what is his show supposed to be? It’s so pathetic.

Ahh, but still getting his hindquarters handed to him by O’Reilly, I see. That must chaff him something awful.

You know, I used to watch The Soup on E!, but since ol’ what’s-his-name started showing clips from Olbermann’s show, I’ve actually stopped. Besides it’s much more fun (funner, Olbermann, if you so desire) to have the pros give me the same snarky news only every night.

Allah, I think you may want to include another link that readers would enjoy, but might miss unless they also follow the links one they get to Olby Watch.

Don’t get me wrong, this is good stuff:

Aside from the fact that Gibson wasn’t wrong, there’s also the fact that, as usual, Keith Oralmann does not come to the table with clean hands. The “desperation”, the “paranoia” he bellowed about? It’s all part of the Keith Olbermann playbook. Comparing people to terrorists and Nazis is all in a day’s work for the former sports guy.

* Item: Olbermann compares Sean Hannity to Bin Laden.
* Item: Keith Olbermann compares the Bush administration to the rise of the Nazis in Germany: the Nazis rose to prominence on the bodies of “backstabbers and profiteers”, and you, “Mister” Bush, picked out “your own profiteer, your own scapegoat”.
* Item: Olbermann and MSNBC used Nazi charges against Bill O’Reilly and others as a deliberate, planned PR scheme to gain publicity.
* Item: Olbermann asserts the the Republican Party is “imitating Bin Laden”, and adds that the GOP is “the leading terrorist group in this country”.

… But if folks want to hear what Gibby did that pissed Olby off so badly, you’ve got to hear the audio… This is Gibson playing audio clips of Olberman back-to-back with audio from Bin Laden, showing just how identical they are:

When I operated my blog I had a post up where you could “match the quote” to the Dem or the terrorist leader… if you weren’t a news junkie, you’d be totally guessing, as the comments were virtually identical. This is nothing new, but the comparison on Gibby’s radio show is about as mainstream as it’s gonna get… though, I believe Hannity used to do a little of this on TV a couple years ago.

BTW, what in the name of all that is holy was this POS doing on NBC Sunday night football last night.

I tuned in to watch the beloved Cowboys beat up on the Philistine NY Giants last night and was treated to this A-Hole on the desk. I won’t even follow AP’s links to this penis with ears videos anymore because he makes me wretch. Why do I have to see him on a sports show?????

Trying to be one of the guys. He gets no respect there and Costas isn’t giving up any in the near future either.

sonnyspats1 on September 10, 2007 at 11:42 PM

I heard Gibby and Angry Rich on XM during the drive home trying to book Chris Collingsworth for their show because they had heard Collingsworth “hates” and “has no respect” for Olberman.

If that interview actually happens and Collingsworth doesn’t puss out, I’ll post audio online for everyone to hear.

I can’t wait for what the “Senior Correspondent” Mrs. Gutfeld may say about Odormann. ;-)

MRS. GUTFELD RULES!!!

So Keith Olbermann is a hypocrite and thin skinned. This generation’s Edward R. Murrow eh? I don’t think so.

SoulGlo on September 11, 2007 at 1:13 AM

Fun.

The last vid is gold…no….it is GRITS!
Why do I see Dancing with the Stars in Olby’s future?

“Keith Olberman is Unamerican.”

Game, set, and match Olberdunce………again.

Would that be “special” as in he wears a helmet and rides the short bus?

CurtZHP on September 11, 2007 at 10:03 AM

NBC punished Olby by removing him from the wasteland of MSNBC and promoting him to Football color commentator.

Because he’s just.so.funny.

I guess Rosie O’Donnell must’ve said no.

One word…

Boycott.

DANEgerus on September 11, 2007 at 10:45 AM

Olby likes to think he’s Edward R. Murrow (for what reason I don’t know — the guy was a hack), but in reality he is Drew Pearson. Never heard of Drew Pearson? Well, had it not been for Drew Pearson George S. Patton would’ve been the American leader of the D-Day invasion force, not Omar Bradley. Pearson was the “journalist” who broke his word to Eisenhower to keep the slapping incidents in Sicily under his hat.

Olby probably loves Roosevelt so let’s see what FDR said about Pearson (and by extension Obly),

His ill-considered falsehoods have come to the point where he is doing much harm to his own Government and to other nations. It is a pity that anyone anywhere believes anything he writes. August 30, 1943

Eery ain’t it?
