Video: Hey, how about another MSNBC segment dumping on Palin’s book?
posted at 9:45 pm on May 13, 2009 by Allahpundit
Wasn’t it Edward R. Murrow who pioneered the journalistic technique of mocking the subject of a news segment by inventing phony, derisive titles for their memoirs? I’m pretty sure he came up with that during his coverage of the Blitz.
Boy, Geraghty wasn’t kidding about this network’s Palin-hate, was he? Note the assertion that Fox News is in the tank for Sarahcuda, too. I guess Carl Cameron didn’t get the memo.

Their hate allows them to look away from Obama, That is what this is about.
rob verdi on May 13, 2009 at 9:48 PM
Pfffft. I’ll pass. But wow Olbermann looks creepy.
ddrintn on May 13, 2009 at 9:49 PM
I’m starting to catch a little Palin 2012 fever….We’ll see if it lasts. Anyone who drives the left crazier than usual is someone that has something special going for them, IMO..
therightwinger on May 13, 2009 at 9:50 PM
I wouldn’t know whether PMSNBC was still on the air if you didn’t post their stuff here. It never occurs to me to watch that channel.
Kjeil on May 13, 2009 at 9:51 PM
I think this goes along perfectly with the Anne Coulter Column in the Headlines.
theguardianii on May 13, 2009 at 9:52 PM
Looks like MSNBC is moving in smaller and smaller circles now…almost like they are circling the bowl.
AUINSC on May 13, 2009 at 9:52 PM
Has Olbermann ever hear of Immelt?
Has Olberman ever written a book?
Why does he hate Palin?
ctmom on May 13, 2009 at 9:52 PM
This probably replaced the segment where Keith was supporting Obama for holding fast on releasing those Abu Ghirab abuse photos.
jon1979 on May 13, 2009 at 9:52 PM
From the Geraghty link cited:
ROFL…that’s a classic right there. The idiotic mind of the lefty. But when you’re at MSNBC I guess you have to measure success in something other than audience share.
ddrintn on May 13, 2009 at 9:52 PM
So predictable. As I said last night, the reviews are already written. It sucks and she’s a fool. Now all they have to do is wait for the book to actually be written and published.
TheBigOldDog on May 13, 2009 at 9:52 PM
So,the lefty talk shows are already in Search and Destroy
mode!
But,I’m perplexed,the Liberal Operatives are attacking the book,and the book isn’t even near a draft yet!
Why do Liberals,
HATE BOOKS!!
canopfor on May 13, 2009 at 9:53 PM
The 75 people who watch MSNBC will be delighted by this news.
chunderroad on May 13, 2009 at 9:53 PM
any pub is good pub
Jamson64 on May 13, 2009 at 9:53 PM
They attack hardest and longest those they fear most.
TheBigOldDog on May 13, 2009 at 9:54 PM
Yes, she should just stay home with the little ones and leave politics to the men folk.

chunderroad on May 13, 2009 at 9:55 PM
Keith
Enough with the butch wax on that hair, bucko.
blatantblue on May 13, 2009 at 9:56 PM
Yeah, saw that too. Pretty much sums up the level of ‘intellect’ you are dealing with on MSNBC.
AUINSC on May 13, 2009 at 9:56 PM
LOL, absolutely. This is Reagan x10.
ddrintn on May 13, 2009 at 9:56 PM
The woman in the video is Shannyn Moore who basically stalks and is obsessed with Sarah Palin in Alaska.
Look, she is even wearing glasses
joey24007 on May 13, 2009 at 9:57 PM
So this is why Matthews and Olby’s ratings are off the charts and beating FOX in the ratings war eh?
Topsecretk9 on May 13, 2009 at 9:58 PM
So much smugness was dropping off of each word I had to stop listening. That’s ok though, already know what he’s going to say. Do you suppose he writes his own copy or does he have a legion of minions to come up with his witticisms?
Tommy_G on May 13, 2009 at 9:59 PM
Well Herr Olbermann continues the crazy.
William Amos on May 13, 2009 at 9:59 PM
She’s got bigger balls than he.
Topsecretk9 on May 13, 2009 at 10:01 PM
Allahpundit, I have just a general question and it has nothing to do with Sarah Palin.
Why in the heck do you think conservatives care about Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews, we don’t watch them ever .. so why do you post them here?
joey24007 on May 13, 2009 at 10:01 PM
MSNB who now?
LibTired on May 13, 2009 at 10:01 PM
I’m with Joey24007…I dont give a flying…..about anyone on MSNBC.
therightwinger on May 13, 2009 at 10:03 PM
To counter the stupidity. To show there is an organized effort by the left to demonize any conservative.
To Emasculate Racheal Maddow and expose the high level of estrogen in Chris Mathews blood.
To show that a mind is a terrible thing to waste and that Keith Olbermann has no clue on what a mind is and why his head is full of waste.
William Amos on May 13, 2009 at 10:03 PM
We do need to know what they’re up to. I’d rather see it here (without having to click on the clip) than have to suffer through actually watching MSNBC.
ddrintn on May 13, 2009 at 10:04 PM
I love the way the tool of the two biggest corporations of the 90s and among the biggest today — Microsoft and General Electric — can view Fox as being “too big.” MSNBC clearly saw Fox News as making big bucks as a (perceived) self-parody of the right and figured a self-parody of the left was the way they could finally get out of the red.
calbear on May 13, 2009 at 10:04 PM
We have to keep on eye on them at all times. Can`t let them run around lose, they might hurt themselves.
ThePrez on May 13, 2009 at 10:04 PM
So Olbermann, Matthews and friends appear to be consumed with hate and envy simply because more people watch FOX and publishers are willing to pay conservatives to write books.
Of course the lefties are too smart to figure out how to get people to publish their books, buy their books or watch them snivel and whine on TV.
perroviejo on May 13, 2009 at 10:05 PM
Um yeah, so why would that change after the first 1000 MSNBC clips posted?
We know all about Matthews, Olbermann and Maddow … what is the purpose of the reminder?
joey24007 on May 13, 2009 at 10:05 PM
Snore.
Saltysam on May 13, 2009 at 10:06 PM
Fixed your little typo for ya.
Knucklehead on May 13, 2009 at 10:07 PM
Well, you have to get used to it though. If Sarah Palin chooses to run, it’s going to get mighty ugly out there.
ddrintn on May 13, 2009 at 10:08 PM
It’s good to see where the lefty talking points are going…also good ammo for ridiculing them. If we don’t know what the ‘single brain-unit’ for lefties is telling them to think, we might get caught off guard..again. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
AUINSC on May 13, 2009 at 10:08 PM
Now that was funny!! Please come clean my monitor.
Knucklehead on May 13, 2009 at 10:09 PM
Well to be honest it serves a purpose to enrage our side. If we ignore or back down from the left’s insanity they win.
And they know that. That is why the onslaught has continued long after Obama won the White House.
The left isnt content on winning an election. They want the complete and utter control of the whole entire message and government.
The danger of an uncontroled ideology can be seen in too many times to end in tragedy for the human race. The lefties just dont understand that they are far more likely to embrace a totalitarian belief than anyone on the right is. Because of their facination with government and control of the media and education.
William Amos on May 13, 2009 at 10:09 PM
I won’t click on the link, but GE is going down.
SouthernGent on May 13, 2009 at 10:09 PM
Was there actually any news in that clip? I watched it, but all I heard was 5 1/2 minutes of smartass remarks that weren’t even funny.
Say what you will about O’Reilly or Hannity, but even when they have a guest on to parrot their own right-wing views, they discuss a relevant topic and do it in a civil manner.
BSNBC could at least be counted on in the past for news with a left-wing slant. Nowadays however, Shyster, Olberskank, and Fat Bastard Matthews have been reduced to acting like a bunch of junior high kids making wisecracks in the locker room.
Doughboy on May 13, 2009 at 10:10 PM

The liberal onslaught of malicious attacks against Carrie Prejean for expressing her opinion is despicable.
Carrie and I spoke soon after the attacks started; I can relate as a liberal target myself. What I find so remarkable is that these politically-motivated attacks fail to show that what Carrie and I believe is also what President Obama and Secretary Clinton believe – marriage is between a man and a woman.
I applaud Donald Trump for standing with Carrie during this time. And I respect Carrie for standing strong and staying true to herself, and for not letting those who disagree with her deny her protection under the nation’s First Amendment Rights.
Our Constitution protects us all – not just those who agree with the far left.
Governor Sarah Palin
shomegirl on May 13, 2009 at 10:11 PM
Not after Obama shifts your tax dollars to his buddy Immelt. Look at GE’s now very cozy relationship with Obamacare and it all makes a lot more sense.
AUINSC on May 13, 2009 at 10:12 PM
Obviously, MSNBC made a detailed study of Air America and came away with the conclusion it was a model begging to be adapted to cable TV.
CK MacLeod on May 13, 2009 at 10:14 PM
You screen cap is hilarious. Miss Keith on the left and Miss Keith on the right.
No, I’m not clicking the video.
Marcus on May 13, 2009 at 10:14 PM
no seriously you mean Keef O Morrow just cribbed Chris Tingles’ riff lock stock and barrel again???
Keef and Christine are in a mexican standoff they hate each other but know if they don’t watch their opponent both their ratings drop by a third.
sven10077 on May 13, 2009 at 10:14 PM
In fact…GE now has a huge stake in contracts with many of Obama’s programs. MSNBC is GEs freebie public relations firm for the Democrats…and see if it doesn’t pay off bigtime for them. Immelt has all but admitted the big government programs/contracts are the future for GE.
AUINSC on May 13, 2009 at 10:16 PM
That little “secret” is being slowly let out.
SouthernGent on May 13, 2009 at 10:16 PM
Tina Fey is writing a book too!

profitsbeard on May 13, 2009 at 10:17 PM
Olby has a needle wank.
Winebabe on May 13, 2009 at 10:17 PM
I don’t get what the obsession is they have for Palin but it is one of the reasons I like her so much.
It is like independent validation of her in some weird way.
I notice they are never making fun of other legit conservatives pols like Pence or Jeff sessions.
I think they damaged her a greeat deal at least with independents so I don’t even know how viable she actually is now.,
She most likely will not even run in 2012
kangjie on May 13, 2009 at 10:18 PM
I guess this one will end up in the pyre in a future Civil Defense Force torchlight parade?
Dr. ZhivBlago on May 13, 2009 at 10:25 PM
Never watch them, they’re asshats one and all. You always need to consider the source of information. Ask yourself 2 questions…is this a reliable source and do I trust them? If you answer no to 1 or 2 of these questions you need better information.
kellyjane on May 13, 2009 at 10:25 PM
And why isn’t anyone covering it here? It’s a huge story.
And is anyone following Beck and his ACORN expose’?
Knucklehead on May 13, 2009 at 10:25 PM
The Acorn don’t fall far from the tree!
Very disturbing stuff.
Ah well, welcome to America.
blatantblue on May 13, 2009 at 10:27 PM
Oh yeah but let B.O. make a book deal and Matthews and Olby’s legs will start tingling.
tbear44 on May 13, 2009 at 10:27 PM
the truth hurts…
alexraye on May 13, 2009 at 10:27 PM
Who’s going to cover it? The ‘Press’?
AUINSC on May 13, 2009 at 10:27 PM
They’ve moved on from tingling up the legs, to oozing down said legs.
Sorry.
blatantblue on May 13, 2009 at 10:28 PM
So much whining – let her write the friggin’ book.
Dave Rywall on May 13, 2009 at 10:31 PM
ok night
blatantblue on May 13, 2009 at 10:31 PM
Hatred and bigotry, wholly owned by the left and the democrat party
daesleeper on May 13, 2009 at 10:40 PM
IMHO it might be a good idea to mention to these hatemongers at msnbc that they really need to stop exploiting women for their own benefits.
Olbermann and Matthews are exploiting Palin,using their disdain for her to appease thier hatemongering followers and keep their programs alive.
canditaylor68 on May 13, 2009 at 10:43 PM
For you RINO’s who think Sarah Palin should go away, I guess MSNBC didn’t get the memo.
Why do the cable networks insist on covering Sarah Palin? Could it be because SarahPAC is raking in the dough?
technopeasant on May 13, 2009 at 10:44 PM
I’m pretty sure Allahpundit and other conservatives looking for blog material now make up at least half of Olberman’s audience.
Professor Blather on May 13, 2009 at 10:50 PM
Liberal men get aroused from insulting conservative women. There is really no other explanation.
Speedwagon82 on May 13, 2009 at 10:52 PM
Mr. Olberman, if you keep making that face, it will stick that wa……errrrrr nevermind.
Grow up Keithy boy. Geeze!
capejasmine on May 13, 2009 at 11:00 PM
Right. And conservatives visiting these blogs and clicking on those links make up the other half.
RMR on May 13, 2009 at 11:02 PM
Did she really refer to “my friend Mudflats” at the end?
LOL. And soon after Olby had griped about the “incestuous” possibilities of the Murdoch book/TV empire.
cs89 on May 13, 2009 at 11:04 PM
man, doofpundit has totally made me never want to use the word “nuance” in a sentence.
TTheoLogan on May 13, 2009 at 11:06 PM
shannyn moore contributor to huffington post, that credential entitles her to comment of Palin as the best president money can buy? with $600,000,000.00 spent by the won?
obviously, self-awareness is not needed at MSNBC
billypaintbrush on May 13, 2009 at 11:32 PM
Hey! AP!
Could we please come to an agreement?
Would you PLEASE STOP PUTTING Olberman photos here until he speaks from somewhere OTHER than his anus?
Thank you.

Chris Matthews went off about this apparently. I simply cannot believe how incredibly petty and jealous these men are and how they aren’t even ashamed to show it.
It’s a new world.
AnninCA on May 13, 2009 at 11:38 PM
Here’s my real beef. I think Republican women are vastly unused within the party. These men running around are bombing out. First it’s said they’ll present a budget. I never saw it. Did you? Jindal gives the worst speech I’ve ever seen as a rebuttal to Obama. Then he has no reason that’s cogent for refusing the stimulus bill. Ditto for about 3 other men.
Why the reluctance to do the obvious? Back the women?
What’s up with this? And, no, I don’t think it’s sexism.
But Romney isn’t ever going to be a viable candidate, folks. Ain’t happening.
AnninCA on May 13, 2009 at 11:44 PM
Like I posted yesterday and MANY times MSNBC is an embarrassment.
terryannonline on May 13, 2009 at 11:44 PM
eh?

Wow. If that’s all they have.
Wow…
Fuzzlenutter on May 13, 2009 at 11:47 PM
Well, you’ll need to back that up. Lot’s of Republican women are losers too…Snowe, Collins…and the shine is really off Hutchinson as well. Let’s not have a little gender war right now, ok?

Oh why not, AUINSC. I think the Republicans are treating Palin horribly.
Horribly.
AnninCA on May 13, 2009 at 11:50 PM
This sort of ridicule of a decent woman from a jackass that could not leave his bathtub for a week. Also, according to e-mails from ex-girlfriends in the possession of Mark Levin, Olby is a pervert hung like a hamster. Sarah would kick his ass in a heartbeat. Todd would not need to even worry about her.
Maybe this is a window into this dipstick’s problem with strong beautiful ladies. Add in Conservative Christian Republican elected to office, and moving up, that explains alot no?
Brian1972 on May 13, 2009 at 11:50 PM
You FAIL Allahpundit
Ugly on May 13, 2009 at 11:50 PM
Furthermore, I think they are being stupid. She absolutely got them within spitting distance of a win with a guy who was too old and didn’t even inspire his own base.
They can’t even be bothered to make sure the great wardrobe debate is stopped? All it would have taken was ONE announcement that they had followed through on the idea of selling the clothes for charity. Did they do that?
Nope.
AnninCA on May 13, 2009 at 11:52 PM
And I will back it up. I’ll investigate other quality women in politics who are Republican.
Give me a few days. I’m new to this. I never paid one bit of attention to Republicans until now.
AnninCA on May 13, 2009 at 11:53 PM
Maybe…maybe not. Honestly, I don’t think she’s that into politics anymore…mostly because of the pain she’s suffered at the hands of the left.
But I obviously am not buying the ‘Republican Women Rock – Republican men suck’ shtick you just layed out.
I really don’t know where she stands on most of the issues I care about, because she doesn’t talk about them.
AUINSC on May 13, 2009 at 11:53 PM
When it comes to liberals, it’s an ugly and angry world.
A world where liberal women really need to re-think their eyewear and grooming habits.
CarolynM on May 13, 2009 at 11:54 PM
That sounds like a losing approach for all conservatives to me…just saying. IP turns conservatives off bigtime.
AUINSC on May 13, 2009 at 11:55 PM
Check out Rep Marsha Blackburn (R-TN). Her district is adjacent to my district, where I’m stuck with so-called “Blue Dog Democrat” Tanner. I would trade in a second.
I like Rep Michelle Bachmann (R-MN) also. She’s been ridiculed by Matthews and other libs, but she’s great on fiscal and energy issues. Plus, she’s just a really nice lady who with her husband has like 5 kids of her own and 20 or so foster children, some with disabilities. Very moving personal story with her.
Brian1972 on May 13, 2009 at 11:57 PM
I actually have MSNBC deleted from my tv’s channel memory so I can’t even accidentally stumble upon it while flipping through.
mountaineer for liberty on May 13, 2009 at 11:58 PM
I wondered about that, too, AUIN. But the book deal suggests otherwise.
AnninCA on May 13, 2009 at 11:58 PM
Let them keep overplaying their hand.
Jim Treacher on May 13, 2009 at 11:58 PM
I have the same visceral reaction to Charlie Gibson and Katie Couric now, mountaineer.
I will never, ever forget the shock of watching Gibson peer over his glasses in such a completely disrespectful manner.
Unbelievable.
AnninCA on May 14, 2009 at 12:03 AM
Good advice, Jim.
It’s so obvious, though, even now! It’s scary to think of how people aren’t responding to the obvious unfairness.
It’s honestly made me a lot more nervous about being female. I can’t recall thinking this way since I was really young.
AnninCA on May 14, 2009 at 12:04 AM
Thanks Brian. I will.
AnninCA on May 14, 2009 at 12:05 AM
Incidentally, Couric’s ratings have nosedived since the Palin spike. Dead last. And, she gets a journalism award. Typical of liberals.
Brian1972 on May 14, 2009 at 12:05 AM
Hope you’re not sore at me AnninCA…I love Republican women. Just don’t think there is a gender aspect to our difficulties right now.
AUINSC on May 14, 2009 at 12:08 AM
Yes…. because all C.S. Lewis wrote was The Chronicles of Narnia…. man, what literati…..well with them reading such classics as the Audacity of Hope I guess they think they don’t need to read anything else.
Rightwingguy on May 14, 2009 at 12:15 AM
Of course, not. I just think the standard boyz going on a listening tour is yet another gimmick.
They need to get real.
