Tee hee: Palin’s sort of “palling around” with drug dealers now, notes Olby

An important lesson on guilt by association from a man who surely never would have objected if John McCain had once worked with, say, an unrepentant abortion clinic bomber. I can’t decide which part is my favorite: Is it Kayo comparing The One’s knowing, voluntarily association with a terrorist to Palin being saddled months ago with an in-law who was busted just this week? Or is it him using Palin’s own supposed lack of empathy to declare open season on this story, replete with nasty drug jokes from an actual comedian about what Bristol Palin’s baby should be named? It gets tiresome pointing out Olbypocrisy, but try to imagine his reaction if one of Joe Biden’s in-laws was arrested for possession and O’Reilly spent a segment overtly goofing on it.

Oh, and this being “Countdown,” there’s at least one key detail that’s hugely misleading. Turns out Sherry Johnston apparently wasn’t busted for meth but for oxycontin. Olby could have waited to find that out instead of speculating, but why bother when meth jokes are so much more fun? That’s the Murrow way, after all.

Update: In case it’s not clear, I believe this aired on Thursday night’s show, not last night’s.

Keef….people who back men living in glass houses on drugs, questionable relationships, and ideology should not be throwing stones.

sven10077 on December 20, 2008 at 4:04 PM

Olbermann is ignorant. I have no idea why anyone pays attention to him. Especially on the right. He’s a nutcase who needs attention.

therightwinger on December 20, 2008 at 4:06 PM

wow I totally missed this segment last night. I knew no one in the media would even care about this story except for this douchebag.

ousoonerfan15 on December 20, 2008 at 4:08 PM

Is Olbermann married? If so, I wonder what his in-laws are like and what they really think of him.

Wethal on December 20, 2008 at 4:08 PM

so, for those keeping score at home — a woman who was ELECTED to her state’s top executive position is less qualified for veep and/or a senate seat than a woman who …
did nothing but live off her last name for roughly 1/2 a century.

.
.

ANNNND, the relatively minor issue of the arrest of the mother of the father of said state chief executive’s unborn grandchild is cause for “guilt by association” …
but serving on the same board of directors with an unrepentant domestic terrorist AND launching a political office run in his living room is not supposed to reflect on another certain officeholder’s character.

“double standards — worse case i evah seen … “

Buckaroo on December 20, 2008 at 4:13 PM

Olbermann is the kind of guy that if you saw him, say, get hit by a bus

you would just keep on walking

joey24007 on December 20, 2008 at 4:14 PM

They call it “News”. Did he mention Blago?

the_nile on December 20, 2008 at 4:14 PM

the Meth jokes may come from National Enquirer, when they ran some Palin smears. Some of it was from supposed witnesses that claimed that both of Palin’s older kids, the son in army and Bristol, partied hard and did alot of Meth openly at parties.

jp on December 20, 2008 at 4:14 PM

seems to me he could’ve still made some Rush Limbaugh linked jokes had he knew it was Oxy

jp on December 20, 2008 at 4:16 PM

I highly doubt these two women spend anytime “hanging” out together. I guess ole olby totally forgets that Sarah has that job of running the state.

ousoonerfan15 on December 20, 2008 at 4:17 PM

How on earth this moron has a job on TV is beyond me — he’s the opposite journalism, and his opinions are terribly irrational and mean-spirited.

Only in America, as Don King says.

Richard Romano on December 20, 2008 at 4:18 PM

And this clown was co-anchoring the network’s election coverage.

Murrow weeps.

SteveMG on December 20, 2008 at 4:18 PM

What really has cracked me up about this whole thing is how ridiculous some of the headlines are. The editors and reporters really had to work hard to try to make what should be two sentences in the Wasilla paper’s crime page about a small-time drug bust into a story.

And, yeah, Olby selling a few pills (or even a lot of pills) of Oxy is the same as blowing up police stations and plotting to kill soldiers and their girlfriends. Those two things are definitely equivalent.

When I read this story yesterday, my first thought was thank goodness that this young fellow found the Palin’s.

I’ve always said you can’t blame children for their parents.

Texas Gal on December 20, 2008 at 4:20 PM

Some time back a young lady who claimed to have had a sexual liason with Olby wrote some amusing notes on that relationship. I can’t remember her name, but believe she was from Puerto Rico, Jamaica, or some point further south. I thought she even had a blog for a short while. Anyone else remember that? It might be worth a revisit.

a capella on December 20, 2008 at 4:22 PM

Maybe Sherry Johnston can sue the mouth for implying she’s a meth head.

darwin on December 20, 2008 at 4:22 PM

Olbermann is a disgusting, shallow pig but he fits right in with the rest of those MSNBC idiots.

rplat on December 20, 2008 at 4:24 PM

There’s nothing he deserves more than a good kick in the teeth.

Pass,...Gooberman makes me sick.
Has he ever talk about Joe Biden’s daughter and her little drunken escapade.

christene on December 20, 2008 at 4:25 PM

According to ADN, the drug wasn’t meth, it was oxyc*ntin. I know Johnston was hit with intent to distribute, but cops always charge people with that if the amount seized is more than a very small amount.

And yeah, Olbermann is a douchebag.

Jim62sch on December 20, 2008 at 4:25 PM

Gee, and nothing was mentioned about the Kennedy family and their many mishaps with drugs.

It was on the front page of MSN/BC yesterday. They just can’t get enough Palin-bashing. It’s like a drug for them.

capitalist piglet on December 20, 2008 at 4:26 PM

Allahpundit, why do you insist on posting a picture of Olbermann’s face? It makes me want to puke. I seriously won’t be able to visit this site until its lower down.

jimmy the notable on December 20, 2008 at 4:26 PM

By the way, I thought the Left was against the war on drugs? Shouldn’t they be rallying behind this woman?

jimmy the notable on December 20, 2008 at 4:27 PM

Hey, jackhole Olbermann, I’ve got drug abusers, alcoholics, domestic abuse victims and perpetrators, Holocaust victims, and gang members in my family tree, as part of my friend and acquaintance ring. I suppose I’m all of these too.

Moron.

Yeah, that don’t matter. Unless, of course, it’s against Sarah Palin or any Republican.

mjk on December 20, 2008 at 4:33 PM

OK, I forced myself to watch that all the way through. Did you catch the suggestion that if Bristol’s child was a girl, it be named “Crystal” and if a boy “Meth-you”.

I would love to see a duel (or even just a fistfight) between Levi Johnston and that comedian douchebag. And the guy would crap his pants if saw Todd Palin in his rear-view mirror.

Jim62sch on December 20, 2008 at 4:34 PM

I may be a harsh critic of Palin’s policies but this is beyond stupid.

lowandslow on December 20, 2008 at 4:37 PM

Can’t control who your inlaws are, but you sure as heck can control you your friends and political allies/mentors are.

But, the Dems don’t care about such trivial things.

TexasDude on December 20, 2008 at 4:38 PM

The guy thinks he’s Jon Stewart.

Although they both have the same approach in checking stories. I.e., if it makes conservatives look bad, go with it. Don’t worry about facts or accuracy or balance.

I think everyone should start flooding Olby with “Sorry to Hear About You Pending Unemployment” sympathy cards. It’s only a matter of time before the simple economics of the times collides with the reality of his ratings trend. Wouldn’t hurt to keep reminding him of that.

Yoop on December 20, 2008 at 5:06 PM

Is Olbermann married? If so, I wonder what his in-laws are like and what they really think of him.

ewwwwww. Who would marry that? ewwwwww.

scalleywag on December 20, 2008 at 5:09 PM

It’s always a good time to post a picture of Levi Johnston.

But I don’t think he’s even living at home now. Perhaps his mother’s problems makes it easier to understand why he found another serious, close relationship with Bristol. Children of alcoholics and drug users don’t have it all that easy. Of course, it makes it a lot easier if people with national news programs make fun of your parents for sport.

MayBee on December 20, 2008 at 5:10 PM

a capella on December 20, 2008 at 4:22 PM

The woman is Cuban. Mark Levin devoted a lot of time on the story “Keith Olberman Gets Low Ratings in Bed,” since Olbermann is such an ass.
Here’s the audio:
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3

Olbermann is a complete disappointment in the bedroom. He is a failure at everything, no wonder he is so uptight.

jencab on December 20, 2008 at 5:19 PM

the Meth jokes may come from National Enquirer, when they ran some Palin smears. Some of it was from supposed witnesses that claimed that both of Palin’s older kids, the son in army and Bristol, partied hard and did alot of Meth openly at parties.

jp on December 20, 2008 at 4:14 PM

I don’t believe it. Her oldest son spent most of his senior year out of state at hockey training schools. I think he was trying to make it to the pros. Anyone disciplined to be that good of an athlete can’t be an out and out druggie. And do the Palins and the Heaths strike you as “hands off” parents or grandparents? Granted, her daughter got pregnant, but I don’t think her kids would get away with doing meth without her noticing.

Has anyone else debunked this story?

ramrocks on December 20, 2008 at 5:26 PM

Olberdbag is a subhuman species . He is all about repressed rage and nancy boy PC drivel. Couple that with his infantile sense of humor and you have a face you could never tire of slapping.

DeweyWins on December 20, 2008 at 5:28 PM

Let’s see, the MSM is now worried about associations?

jencab on December 20, 2008 at 5:28 PM

MayBee on December 20, 2008 at 5:10 PM

There is no indication that this woman is an alcoholic or that she fits the stereotype of a druggie any more than Rush Limbaugh or Cindy McCain do. She might have gotten hooked on a painkiller after it was prescribed for her. It happens all the time. I feel more pity than judgemental disgust for people who become addicted to painkillers. It could happen to anyone.

The “progressive” left likes to think of itself as compassionate and tolerant, and yet it always seems as if they are only compassionate and tolerant of terrorists or cop killers.

ramrocks on December 20, 2008 at 5:31 PM

Olbermann is a complete disappointment in the bedroom. He is a failure at everything, no wonder he is so uptight.

And we needed to know this why?

Yeah, I’m sure if it was about Limbaugh or Palin et cetera, Olbermann would “report” it.

But getting in the gutter with Olbermann only leaves you as dirty as he is.

I’d rather not.

SteveMG on December 20, 2008 at 5:33 PM

Bill Clinton has a coke-dealer half-brother, whom he pardoned, and Obama has a drug addict half-brother who lives in a box. Plus Obama himself dealt drugs as a youth. Then there’s the Kennedys. To be fair, both Clinton and Obama had crappy parenting, you can’t choose your siblings, and who gives a flip anyway?

Olbermann is a pig. It’s disgusting to enjoy a family’s misfortune. He should at least try to hide his pleasure. He was almost slobbering.

juliesa on December 20, 2008 at 5:35 PM

I watched most of this. Frankly, I do not have cable and if I did, MSNBC is not a channel I would watch. How many viewers does this clown have? While watching him, I could not help but think that he was a joke impersonating an anchorman. And that “comedian” he had on there. What was his point? Never heard of the guy and doubt I will.

you are thinking it is Sarah’s son. It is her daughter boyfriend and his mother they are talking about. Sarah’s son is in Iraq right now.

upinak on December 20, 2008 at 5:44 PM

Wow, can those two blowhards be bigger douchebags?

Did anyone else catch, during Olby’s intro he referred to Palin’s rise in the national scene to her ascending the “greasy political pole”? Seriously, I’d love to see Todd Palin kick that guys ass.

VoxRobotica on December 20, 2008 at 5:47 PM

I knew olber-azz-holio was going to do a story on this. As soon as I heard about it I was thinking .. “Great, another thing to bag on Palin and how supposedly bad she is.”

This is just insane and if Olber-tard gets any worse, there might be a nice gag on him and his crew. But don’t take my word on it.

Also… Monagan is running for Mayor now. Good God almighty, someone please help me with these stupid corrupt people trying to go for office.

upinak on December 20, 2008 at 5:47 PM

Olbermann is a cheap, mentally unbalanced sack o’ shit. But given our MSM, he doesn’t stick out terribly.

ddrintn on December 20, 2008 at 5:48 PM

That man is disgusting! Cannot believe that should have anything to do with Sarah. We all have some family member that has strayed away. Using drugs, booze or what their pleasure is. Shouldn’t effect Palin, her family. Nor Levi. Stupid MSN loves to trash Palin. Revenge will soon get MSN.

sheebe on December 20, 2008 at 5:48 PM

He preaches to the choir anyway, i.e., those who already would love to see Palin pulled apart by wild horses and then burned at the stake.

Joey’s talking about the meth meme that the MSM has been pushing for the Mat-Su Valley. MSNBC wants you to believe that everyone who lives there is a meth-head, including Sarah Palin and all of her friends and relatives. Also, they became addicted to meth because it was the only escape from living under the tyranny of Sarah Palin and her book-burning and rape-kit-billing.

The National Enquirer has been pushing a story that Track was a drug addict and forced to join the Army because of it.

ramrocks on December 20, 2008 at 6:20 PM

No amount of beseeching, entreating, pleading, or begging by good God-fearing folks will dissuade the MSM from destroying anybody connected to Sarah, however remotely. The MSM, led by super-snipers Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow will stop at nothing to diminish Sarah on a 24/7 basis. I would henceforth recommend to one and all on the GOP side for you to show NO mercy to Obama and his allies and also not ask for them, including the MSM, to give you any quarter either. Meet contempt with contempt, fire with fire and strength with strength. Accept it: Obama and his merry men and women have no heart, no conscience, no soul. Unfortunately unlike robots, God has blessed them with a brain with which they have chosen to disown its Creator and secondly to pervert its use by exposing its waking hours to all sorts of propaganda techniques and scurrilous tidbits that can be employed to drive a wedge between Sarah and anybody else who can threaten her credibility and can demonize Sarah and utterly destroy her.For the GOP Sarah is our Joan of Arc. For those of you not familiar with history, Joan was burned at the stake for being a heretic. The Democrats also look at Sarah as a heretic and would have no compunction doing the same to Sarah. The only regret that the arsonist(s) have is that Sarah was not herself in the church when they set fire to it. Again if you try to appease crocodiles or placate the devil the result will be the same-you will be run over, devoured and exterminated. The MSM and Obama is the ENEMY, as Nazi Germany and Fascist Japan were to the USA in WWII. Never forget that! Never forget that!

What do Joe Kennedy, the grandfather of Caroline Kennedy, and John McCain have in common? Both of them came to admire the ability and power of demagogues: Kennedy with Hitler and McCain with Obama. The only difference between the endorsements: the former destroyed the lives of tens of millions-the latter hasn’t yet but it doesn’t mean he won’t.For McCain to tell America that we have nothing to be afraid of with an Obama presidency is like the Germans Junkers (military class) claiming that Hitler would ‘transform’ Germany but Germans had nothing to fear. Six degrees of separation you say!

Gee, like Bristol needs this today, since she is due for birth. Baby’s a boy, and can’t wait till Nana Sarah holds him and cuddles him.

Strange ways the Heavens work people. She has Trig, with Down’s, yet she was rewarded with the love of another boy. No doubt Sarah and her family have hit the jackpot (and I am not, for the record, supporting what Bristol did). I just feel that because of Sarah’s decision to have Trig and give him all the love he deserves, now another boy will arrive to this crazy world, lucky him, to be part of the Palin family.

I understand that they are incredibly overwhelmed with mail, cards and presents. Not enough hands to answer them all.

Hey Keith, did you get any fan mail for CHRISTMAS?

According to ADN, the drug wasn’t meth, it was oxyc*ntin. I know Johnston was hit with intent to distribute, but cops always charge people with that if the amount seized is more than a very small amount.

And yeah, Olbermann is a douchebag.

from ADN:

She was arrested around noon Thursday by troopers serving a search warrant in an undercover drug investigation. A standard press release issued by troopers said Johnston was arrested on six felony counts: second-degree misconduct involving a controlled substance – generally manufacturing or delivering drugs – as well as fourth-degree misconduct involving controlled substances, or possession.

Why defend this woman? She’s of no consequence. She sounds like a bona fide addict — dealing to support her habit. You don’t earn yourself surveillance, a warrant and an undercover operation by just smoking a joint or popping a few pills.

Don’t defend her anymore. She’s presumed innocent…but if she turns up dirty — who cares? She’s not running for anything and apparently has demons causing her to run from something.

Her son is better off in the Palin family. I hope his mom gets help. I hope she’s not peddling painkillers.

Guilt by association sucks. Both sides play this game and it bites us sane people in the ass.

Rush got off easy because of Republican coddling. Hardcore drug dealing contributes to unspeakable crime and general snobbishness towards other laws by people because they scoff at our drug policy.

End the drug war…open a bigger drug store. Sort out the losers and users after that.

Unfortunately, there’s enough fact for this dirt to stick.

No room to say it was a lie.

Make all intoxicating substances illegal and people will start spinning around like whirling dervishes until they get high from being dizzy.

Trying to do a O’Reilly style spam-the-media with hate-mail won’t work.

Try being on the receiving end of it once.

sethstorm on December 20, 2008 at 6:46 PM

dirt to stick to who?? Not to Sarah.

So now the children are responsible for the parents…in the liberal mind, that is.

I commend Palin’s endless Christmas spirit – she’s so incredibly generous to comedians everywhere.

It’s enough to stick to her as well. It is something that can’t be explained away or discredited.

I wonder how many of those meth-heads up there were Palin fans anyway.
