Olby and guest on the Letterman saga: Palin’s kind of become the villain in all this, hasn’t she?
posted at 10:17 pm on June 11, 2009 by Allahpundit
Believe it or not, this trainwreck wasn’t even the number one story tonight. That was reserved for Carrie Prejean, with Village Voice troll Michael Musto reprising his role as hatchet man by calling her a “biotch” while fantasizing with Olby about her career melting down. Somehow, some way, Margaret Carlson manages to sink lower than even the modern-day Murrow here, first by spinning Letterman’s non-apology as an apology more profuse than any talk-show host has ever delivered and then arguing that Bristol’s actually fair game for crap like this because she was, after all, a presence at the Republican convention or something. Try and fathom a mind that actually searches for ways to justify goofing on an 18-year-old single mother as a whore.
Your exit quotation: “There’s a worst person in the world somewhere in this story but it’s not David Letterman anymore.” No, I’m not kidding.

Olbermann gets more attention on Hotair than he does from tv viewers
who cares?

Most single mothers are ” brave”. So I’ve heard.
faol on June 11, 2009 at 10:20 PM
Exactly.
lorien1973 on June 11, 2009 at 10:20 PM
The left calls Palin a slut and then wish her 13 year old daughter is raped and she’s the villain? What kind of reality do these people live in?
Capitalist Infidel on June 11, 2009 at 10:21 PM
Sorry, man, I’ll have to take your word for it. I can’t stomach either MSNBC or Keith Olberman.
Tennman on June 11, 2009 at 10:21 PM
anybody else have thos–
Carlson is just an insane bookworm

…and then came the day that Keith Hunt wandered onto the wrong street in the town. There’s one of those streets in every city in America, but Keith was curious.
After a myriad of encounters with crack whores, flashy-dressed fellows offering the services of Thai transsexuals, and charismatic fellows offering a free taste of “dis shizz will fluff you up”, he found himself in a Boost Mobile vendor, scared and confused.
It was at that time that Ally Sheedy entered, and said to Keith, “RESIGN”.
From that time, he was Keith “Murrow” Olbermann. A man with a mission. A mission that would only exist while the White House was occupied by someone he didn’t vote for.

Margaret Carlson needs to go for a slutty flight attendant look ’cause her old french whorish schoolmarm look is hopelessly passe.

That’s where I knew her from!

Obama is handling the economy great , why all these bitter attacks?

All seven of his viewers agree with Olby. All seven.

Once again, I find myself trying not to hate keith olberman and his assinine face.
therightscoop on June 11, 2009 at 10:26 PM
Okay, this is war. Go out and go for Letterman’s kid. Show pics, no harm to the child, of course, but see how he likes it. Tit for tat.
suzyk on June 11, 2009 at 10:26 PM
I think Olby and Letterman should get together for…………………………….. No other way for forgiveness.

Olberman is one sick f*ck.
4shoes on June 11, 2009 at 10:27 PM
I’ve been calling her Velma for years. I remember Scooby Doo first runs on Sat. back in the day.

Could they be anymore predictable or icky?

yeah, anyone who has anything to do with the pukes at ms-nbc, aka the obama network.
SHARPTOOTH on June 11, 2009 at 10:29 PM
Keith Olbermann makes me want to throw my tv out the window in hopes that he is somewhere down there on the ground.
UHGGGGGGGG!
No, I don’t want to kill him. I just wish something would shrink his head….alot! It’s starting to become its own planet.
I guess I can take comfort in this.
therightscoop on June 11, 2009 at 10:29 PM
Whose the villian? I refuse to watch. Let me guess, Willow Palin?
deidre on June 11, 2009 at 10:29 PM
If Palin responds she’s playing the victim card and is to blame.
If Palin doesn’t respond it means it’s no big deal and, besides, she’s to blame for bringing her family into public view.
Yep, Palin is to blame for the harsh attacks on her family.
Amazing.
SteveMG on June 11, 2009 at 10:29 PM
My revulsion for Olbermann and his MSNBC ilk are beyond words at this point. I can’t even watch the video…my laptop will end up being the victim of my anger.

It’s not Letterman’s kid’s fault that his father is a douchebag. Just as it’s not Willow Palin’s fault that Letterman is a lib and will try to wound her mother any way he can.
clnurnberg on June 11, 2009 at 10:29 PM
So are Malia and Sasha fair game now?
txag92 on June 11, 2009 at 10:30 PM
Ultimate dichotomy… Olbermann claims there exists a growing hate-filled right-wing extremist/terrorist movement in this country…. and yet, he is still alive. Is this a possible combination?
BPD on June 11, 2009 at 10:30 PM
These leftist male “anchors” never have a problem finding liberal women to attack other women. Women on the left crave the pat on the head from their liberal male counterparts so much that they’d gladly attack their own gender… anything for the man’s approval. It must suck to be a woman in the liberal land of loons.
yogi41 on June 11, 2009 at 10:30 PM
Keith Olbermann is probably more ‘responsible’ for hate in this country than BO ever could be.
I’m feeling it right now.
therightscoop on June 11, 2009 at 10:30 PM
Hitler had only one ball
His mother cut the other off when he was not very tall
Kieth Olbermann has two but they are very small
Michael Musto clearly has none at all
And Margaret Carlson is the whore they all bang against the bathroom wall

To think I was a fan of Olberman and MSNBC back in the day. Actually disliked Fox. Thank God my conscious woke up.
Is it wrong to admit this kind of stuff?

So David Letterman calls Sarah Palin a slut and calls her daughter a whore, and Keith Olbermann blames Sarah Palin for it. Amazing.
SoulGlo on June 11, 2009 at 10:34 PM
Not watching. This guy is predictable
AbaddonsReign on June 11, 2009 at 10:34 PM
Letterman and Olby should switch shows for a night…
mjbrooks3 on June 11, 2009 at 10:35 PM
There is no need to get angry at Keith Olbermann.
Just point and laugh. And pity.
Or bookmark Olbermann Watch.
It’s all good, peeps.

No , thats strictly forbidden in the GE contract with Obama.
the_nile on June 11, 2009 at 10:37 PM
There is a thread at Huffpo on this and you can palpate the cognitive dissonance. They have no idea what to think. The usual “end justifies the means” crowd are still in lock-step, however there are many that are finding out they are living with bottom dwellers and they are so confused. This could be a turning point for many of the moderates. Any thinking/caring person cannot side with the lefties on this issue and live with themselves. The truly pathetic are bringing up a 16 year old joke about Chelsea. The heads are exploding.
tessa on June 11, 2009 at 10:37 PM
Mush!
Mr. Joe on June 11, 2009 at 10:38 PM
Olbermann’s line must have hatched in JournoList, because I heard the same comment 10 minutes ago on CNN. “Letterman was talking about Palin’s daughter Bristol, who was pregnant this year, but she thought he was talking about Willow.” Cut to Letterman emphatically denying he would advocate sex with a minor. “Palin has turned this into a drama about herself in a cynical bid for attention.” Blame the victim.

Jeezus Christ, is that yuck-mouthed gimp with him Marcy from the Peanuts? These people are freaking cartoonish.

Only more reason to make the media THE ENEMY in next year’s elections.
HondaV65 on June 11, 2009 at 10:42 PM
There’s Peppermint Patty. Maybe Letterman waited till the kid was in kindergarten before he married that goon, because he suspected the real father was a turkey baster.
alliebobbitt on June 11, 2009 at 10:43 PM
Did Margaret Carlson really say that the Palin daughters zone of privacy ended when they were paraded on stage at the Republican convention? What? Does she really not know that the nominees of both parties, after giving their acceptance speeches, are traditionally joined on stage by their families? Does she not remember the admittedly cute “Hi, Daddy!” moment at the Democratic convention where the Obama daughters greeted their father on video, he not having made in to Denver yet?
radjah shelduck on June 11, 2009 at 10:43 PM
Who them is?
SouthernGent on June 11, 2009 at 10:43 PM
Margaret Carlson said that the zone of privacy around the children stops at a certain point and that stopped for the Palins when they paraded Bristol on the stage. Well Alrighty then…/sarc

The snarky hate is almost too much to take… Yet it will make the conservative revival all the more sweet.
mjbrooks3 on June 11, 2009 at 10:48 PM
I am awarding Keith Olbermann my “Biggest liberal stooge in the world” award for racing in to defend the comments of a dirty old paedophile like David Letterman.
In fact I’m pretty sure this is further proof that Keith Olbermann is indeed afraid of women and like all terrified little rodents will take any opportunity to lash out insanely when they feel threatened by that which makes them wet their panties with fear.
Besides Olbermann’s shtick is starting to wear a little thin with the audience just like Letterman’s lame jokes and hopefully we might see both shows relegated to the dust bin of television history in the not to distant future.
Hellrider on June 11, 2009 at 10:48 PM
With each passing day, I’m more and more convinced that Olberman needs an exorcism…and probably an enema given how much he squints.
Erich66 on June 11, 2009 at 10:48 PM
Will she/he be gay or straight?
ICBM on June 11, 2009 at 10:49 PM
LOL Comment of the day!
This clip was absolutely the most stomach-turning that I’ve seen on Hot Air in months. I had to stop it at 3:30 where that b!tch said that it was the Palins that dragged their daughter into this.
Sarah was in NY for a frigging FUND RAISER!!! How is that dragging their kid into a sexually perverted political firestorm?
With each passing day, the left continues to outdo themselves when it comes to hitting new lows.
I’ve had a few glasses of wine tonight, so I’ll stop here before I write something that will get me banned. I am pissed beyond words. Suffice it to say that Margaret what’s her name better hope I never meet her in person.
UltimateBob on June 11, 2009 at 10:49 PM
Conservatives has to become more moderate to be loved by the MSM.

NebCon on June 11, 2009 at 10:55 PM
Bill O’Reilly has put his wet finger to the wind and yes, there is something to this Letterman/Palin thing that is going to stick. Otherwise Mr. Fair and Balanced would not have backtracked tonight from his previous non-stance against his buddy Dave.
Marcus on June 11, 2009 at 10:55 PM
Their own of course. Disconnected from all that is good.
FireBlogger on June 11, 2009 at 10:56 PM
There’s just no way to take Olbermann seriously. He could come upon James von Brunn standing with a rifle over Sarah Palin’s lifeless body, and find a way to suggest Palin was kind of the villain in all this.
J.E. Dyer on June 11, 2009 at 10:57 PM
I refuse to see anything on Wanna-mann.
Kick them in the nads…. their pocket book.
Letterman is getting it, with the ads being yanked faster then being put up.
It is coming to a head… who do you think is going to win?
upinak on June 11, 2009 at 10:57 PM
Olby is Shaggy after he ate a bad batch of Scooby Snacks.
Ted Torgerson on June 11, 2009 at 10:58 PM
Letterman sinks further into the depths of the immoral abyss.I thought he had already hit rock bottom, but he blasted right through rock bottom and continues his freefall with ever increasing velocity. If you are gonna apologize, apologize. Period. He did not (apologize).Pitiful but beyond pity.Olbermann in the same hole and Letterman can just make him out in the depths.
Carlson just fell in as well. Would be nice to see the lot of them on Dante`s Inferno, that new reality show about what happens when ya get there. No overreaction from the Palins here. Mr.Palin and Letterhead need to have a good old fashioned snowball fight. I know Mr. Palin will play fair, so I will be the one who places stones in the snowballs I hand him.Now Mr. Letterman, we DO have something to laugh at!Laughing AT, not WITH, monsieur!
Sherman1864 on June 11, 2009 at 10:58 PM

I can’t fathom how they feel this was an apology. These people need to leave NY and see what the real world thinks.
sheesh on June 11, 2009 at 11:00 PM
The sad thing is these people like olby and others think they are sane.They live in a world that most normal people would run from as fast as they could.They will never change admit there wrong or choose to live in the sane and real world.They have no friends other than people of like mind.We will never change them so why bother trying.
thmcbb on June 11, 2009 at 11:00 PM
Re: Musto/Prejean
Musto actually compared Prejean’s firing and her first ‘almost firing’ to OJ Simpson being acquitted in the murder trial, but finally being convicted in the Vegas trial.
I couldn’t care less about gay marriage, but I don’t think those who oppose it should be compared to murderers and armed robbers.
Go RBNY on June 11, 2009 at 11:00 PM
I suppose there is a joke to be made about Keith’s half-his-age girlfriend, Katy Tur, whoring herself out to Olbermann in order to secure an on-air TV reporting job at the NBC-owned Weather Channel, but I’m sure Keith would find it crude and distasteful to talk about a woman that way, so we’ll just move on from that thought.
jon1979 on June 11, 2009 at 11:01 PM
