It’s come to this: Olbermann lectures Joe Wilson
posted at 9:47 pm on September 10, 2009 by Allahpundit
A very special comment indeed on the eve of 9/11 from a guy who thinks Fox News is “worse than Al Qaeda,” who regards any and all criticism of Barack Obama as thinly veiled racism, and who treats the veritable certainty that ObamaCare will eventually be extended to illegal immigrants as the height of paranoia. Not a single word uttered about the president’s assurance that our trillion-dollar health-care “experiment” will supposedly be deficit-neutral. It’s all about Joe Wilson, don’t you know.
You’re looking at the leading liberal light on American television here. This is the top of the food chain.

Olbermann is a leading light of the left. It explains the term “Dark Ages”.
If I see someone walking down the street with the same wild eyed mouth foaming expression, I would call the police and guard the kids.

Does Edward R. Murrow spin in his grave every time Mr. Formerly Employed at ESPN and Fox Sports reads his ‘special’ comment?
The only thing that’s “special” about them is that they seem they were written on the short bus that Olby took on the way to the MSNBC sewer, I mean studio.

You do realize giving this idiot coverage on HotAir increases his viewership by at least 50% don’t you?
Nobody watches this fool outside of tiny enclaves of leftist academia and parts of New York City, Chicago, and San Francisco. His total national viewership is smaller than the city of Cleveland. In other words, MSNBC is certifiable for paying him some 7 million a year with his awful ratings and tiny viewership. Of course, MSNBC is certifiable putting him on the air in the first place to spew his poison.
I won’t watch his vitriol on television, and certainly won’t watch clips of it here. This sanctimonious ass deserves no attention and gets it from me.

Fortunately, that’s where DDT, mercury and lead is the most concentrated.

Joe Wilson should not have apologized. Offense far greater than anything he said were the names Nan, Stem, Harry, and the other DNC operatives used to describe their bosses, the American populace. The sad thing is that too many people in DC have forgotten for whom they work. When you have IDIOTS like Olbermann paying homage to mere elected officials, these politicians tend to forget their place.

Ahhh….Keith Olbermann….what a joy. If you haven’t signed it yet, go here and tell MSNBC to FIRE KEITH OLBERMANN:

The self-righteous, moronic, tremper tantrumed idiot needs some serious medical assistance. Perhaps the men in the white coats should be watching him….very closely.

Watch Keitho the Klown while you can…Olbergoebbels will be permanently in the tub instead of in the tank. The corruption coming from this communist administration is going to give this wind bag a stroke, hopefully on air…

please take that things picture down. I don’t want to look at it all day. Thanks.

It is amazing how many folks here have reached the same point with Goobermann as I have. I just cannot bear to click on the clip. His smarmy arrogance and “I’m too cool for school” demeanor are just an assault on the senses. I can watch or read almost any other liberal tripe from virtually any other orator, prick or no prick. But this guy, I just can’t do it. He leaves a taste on my brain that lingers longer and longer each time. And then I feel as if I have to hurt someone or something to assuage the anger he brings out in me. What is that voodoo that douche do so well?

Wilson has focused people’s attention on Bozo’s lack of truthfulness.
Olby conveniently forgets the dems heckling President Bush in 2005. And actually what Wilson did was fantastic. he should have demanded the President debate him on the spot and stood his ground. Now that would have been grand drama. And he could have popped Bozo’s balloon for good, but he like all the rest of the GOP have no balls.
There is a time and place for incivility, and if ever there was a moment to call out Bozo, that was it.

Hey, isn’t that the Orbitz hovercraft guy? He’s funny.

4 cents worth of lead and a bag of lime.
Olbermann who?

Keith Olbermann is worse than a Douche Bag.
PappaMac on September 11, 2009 at 9:22 AM
olbermann is trash…ie a typical liberal.
right4life on September 11, 2009 at 9:47 AM
This post is just wrong. Where the hell are you only paying 4 cents per bullet. Please post the website of name and address of the shop so we can all partake.
bill30097 on September 11, 2009 at 10:00 AM
can’t do it. if I punch another screen where Olber-ass is shown, they’ll fire me….
jcrue on September 11, 2009 at 10:03 AM
And Ogerman lies about being an American he is a shill for the far left. If he can get his nose just 5 more centimeters up in the air (or the Presidents @$$) he will break his neck, so the rest of the world can get back to dealing with the truth.

Olbermann represents the worst that journalism has to offer.
rukiddingme on September 11, 2009 at 10:08 AM
What’s with the new camaera angle that they are using on Olby? Sort of looking down on him and from a slight angle, it makes him look like a pyschiactric patient secretly broadcasting from the psych-ward broomcloset.
Come to think of it, it does seem to capture his true essence. Unhinged.

Olberman is unfortunately quite rude, but so are some on the conservative side as well.

The fact that she is very beautiful and pleasing to the eye does not give Michelle a free pass. Even our Michelle has occassionally shown us a shrill streak in her media persona, not unlike what Olberman does and Rush Limbaugh is habitually both unfriendly and selfobsessed.

Dude is either constipated or needs new prescription lenses. Turn that frown upside down buddy!
Codec717 on September 11, 2009 at 3:28 PM
I watched the video, and I’m still waiting for Michelle to show her “shrill streak.”
Maybe the video ran out of time? Huh? Hello? Knock Knock … anybody there????

Self inflected wounds and intentionally shooting yourself are two different things.
Self inflected wounds means you did something incredibly stupid and paid a price for it.
Intentionally shooting yourself means you intentionally did something incredibly stupid and paid a price for it.

Can someone please clean up his eyebrows, it’s like a bad Groucho Marx show.
His hate for anyone who is not a cRAT is really too bad, cause once upon a time he was funny on espn.
