Awww: Olby names Ed worst person in the world
posted at 9:34 pm on November 2, 2009 by Allahpundit
Which dastardly Morrissey post on Hot Air could warrant such an honor? Why, none: He got this for something he wrote on Twitter, as a quickie reaction on Friday afternoon after the White House visitor logs were released. Details Kayo conveniently neglects to mention: (1) Ed corrected his own erroneous tweet within 45 minutes of posting it; (2) HA got the story right from the get-go; (3) the modern-day Murrow has made much more embarrassing errors himself, including those of the Twitter variety; and (4) Ed’s basic point, that Petraeus and McChrystal seem to be way down on the food chain of face time with The One, appears to be entirely correct. But other than that, you’ve got him dead to rights, Keith.
In Olby’s defense, he did at least place Ed in good company here. Exit question: Did Olbermann actually mock MKH for being … condescending? Keith Olbermann?

Ed, you have arrived my friend.
Amadeus on November 2, 2009 at 9:37 PM
Congrats!
LibTired on November 2, 2009 at 9:37 PM
Badge of Honor…!
Seven Percent Solution on November 2, 2009 at 9:37 PM
Ed did that to get rid of the stench of him being “Best person in the world” that one time.
lorien1973 on November 2, 2009 at 9:38 PM
It must be a heavy burden knowing that Herr Olbermann doesn’t like you.
MB4 on November 2, 2009 at 9:38 PM
Excellent! If Olbermann hates it, you’re doing it right.
perroviejo on November 2, 2009 at 9:38 PM
Wot, he slagged off OUR Ed??? I’ll send my mum round, she’ll sort him out.
Fortunata on November 2, 2009 at 9:38 PM
Congrats!
malan89 on November 2, 2009 at 9:39 PM
So nothing about Moran?
Ed can defend himself, but I may have to beat Olberman to a pulp for including Amanda Carpenter.
Know why women like Palin and Carpenter scare liberal zeta-males such as Olberman? This is why:

Bishop on November 2, 2009 at 9:39 PM
Keith Olberman used to be a jockstrap sniffer in a MLB locker room. Then he got promoted to asshole!
sonnyspats1 on November 2, 2009 at 9:40 PM
Olbermann loves his Kindergarten – someone talented, photoshop him in Spielhosen, with a pacifier.
Schadenfreude on November 2, 2009 at 9:40 PM
The real story is that, once again, AP cannot get himself near 2 hot chicks – even in photographic form.
lorien1973 on November 2, 2009 at 9:40 PM
Ed this is better than the Oscars!
cubachi on November 2, 2009 at 9:41 PM
Ed, congrats on reaching the top tier.
tarpon on November 2, 2009 at 9:41 PM
Only a scumbag like KO would go after the nicest folks in the Conservative blogosphere…..MKH, “Worst Person”?!? Really?
dmh0667 on November 2, 2009 at 9:41 PM
They’re all smiling because they’re proud to be bestowed such a title, as would anyone who is sick to death of this mealy-mouthed little creep.
MadisonConservative on November 2, 2009 at 9:41 PM
Cool. We know about it…and the 10 cloistered commie-hippies that watch Olberdouche can say, “WHO?!?”.
HAnthonyWayne on November 2, 2009 at 9:41 PM
AttaBoy, Ed! Job well done..
LEBA on November 2, 2009 at 9:41 PM
Congratulations Ed! This is bigger than the Nobel Peace Prize. Do you get a medallion or a statue?
Speech…Speech…
DeathB4Tyranny on November 2, 2009 at 9:41 PM
Olbermann clearly got this from Media Matters or Think Progress or some lefty website. He does zero original reporting. None. Nada.
He and his staff get their material from partisan sources, don’t verify it and don’t allow the person being attacked to respond to the charges or defend themselves.
This tactic coming from the same guy who always complains about negative press and the reporter never contacting him about the story.
I’d call him a fraud but hey? why insult frauds? They’re people too.
SteveMG on November 2, 2009 at 9:42 PM
Allah…
Are you sure this wasn’t an “Onion” parody?
Seven Percent Solution on November 2, 2009 at 9:42 PM
I can’t watch this @$$hole so I’m not clicking the video.
Way to Go ED! Your making a name for yourself.
Brat4life on November 2, 2009 at 9:42 PM
Don’t worry AP, the only reason you didn’t make it is because he doesn’t have a picture of you.
clement on November 2, 2009 at 9:42 PM
I accepted it and moved on long ago.
Allahpundit on November 2, 2009 at 9:43 PM
Wait a sec…didn’t Ed get an Olby atta-boy a few months ago?
BobMbx on November 2, 2009 at 9:43 PM
Guys, keep in mind that Ed was also “Best Person in the World” one night. So his status as RINO is still well established. He’s no longer worse than Dede, but still. He’s up there. :P
lorien1973 on November 2, 2009 at 9:43 PM
You can get an STD just looking at that tool.
txag92 on November 2, 2009 at 9:44 PM
Congratulations, Ed!
Wow… what an honor… You’ve arrived.
silverfox on November 2, 2009 at 9:44 PM
Keith Olberman jockstrap sniffer extraordinaire.
sonnyspats1 on November 2, 2009 at 9:44 PM
Obama-ite.

BobMbx on November 2, 2009 at 9:44 PM
p!ssed of Olby, got a Peace Prize!
Sekhmet on November 2, 2009 at 9:44 PM
Is this worse or better than being targeted by the lizard king?
daesleeper on November 2, 2009 at 9:45 PM
What took you so long Ed?
Congrats!
Indian Outlaw on November 2, 2009 at 9:45 PM
I liked when Ed got Olbermann’s Best Person in the World award.
disillusioned on November 2, 2009 at 9:46 PM
Getting down on PAT BOONE? Olbermann must be…EXTERMINATED. :D
Orange Doorhinge on November 2, 2009 at 9:46 PM
So… AP is Olbermann?
Wolftech on November 2, 2009 at 9:46 PM
Thank you, Allah, for playing defense for Ed. =)
MarkBoabaca on November 2, 2009 at 9:46 PM
Congratulations, Ed, you lucky dog you!
malclave on November 2, 2009 at 9:47 PM
Way to go Mr. Morrissey, your fireplace mantle must be running out of room.
fourdeucer on November 2, 2009 at 9:47 PM
Olberman knows how to use twitter?
TN Mom on November 2, 2009 at 9:47 PM
Don’t worry AP, the only reason you didn’t make it is because he doesn’t have a picture of you.

AP on the left.

Sandwiched between Amanda Carpenter and Mary Katherine Hamm. Congrats Ed!

You can tell who got his ass beat in high school.
Punditpawn on November 2, 2009 at 9:48 PM
Yes, I am now the Best and the Worst, the Most High and the Ultimate Low, the Yin and the Yang of being.
Or, maybe Olby should give up hyperbole for Lent.
Ed Morrissey on November 2, 2009 at 9:48 PM
WOW. ED MORRISEY IS A BIG BIG SUPERSTAR NOW.
BRAVO!
OLBETAMAN AWARD IS ONE OF THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS IN THE WORLD OF CONSERVATIVES.
Hummm. Scuzzy is fuming.
Why can’t she have that award too? Maybe she’s not qualified. Right?
TheAlamos on November 2, 2009 at 9:48 PM
Isn’t Keef practicing “warrantless wiretapping” here?
Salud, Ed. Have one on me.
Del Dolemonte on November 2, 2009 at 9:49 PM
Now THAT is funny!! LOL!
deidre on November 2, 2009 at 9:49 PM
This must rank right up there with winning a Nobel Peace Prize or sumthin’…
Hog Wild on November 2, 2009 at 9:50 PM
I doubt AP has ever uttered the phrase “ready” in any context. :P
lorien1973 on November 2, 2009 at 9:50 PM
Not that I want to give this guy constructive advice, but the schtick seems kind of forced nowadays…
mjbrooks3 on November 2, 2009 at 9:50 PM
Congrats, Ed.
The people at “RedEye” are gonna be pissed. They haven’t yet made it to “worst person in the world”. Although I believe Gutfeld was named “worser person in the world” or some such crap.
I’m sure the four people who watch Olbermann are really pissed at you, Ed, my boy.
mjk on November 2, 2009 at 9:51 PM
Way to go Ed. This has more prestige than a Nobel. They hand out Nobels like candy these days but it takes someone who really makes the left quake in their boots to get an Olby.
imshocked on November 2, 2009 at 9:51 PM
So only the FAKE Shabazz, JJ Wright, and Bill Ayers were there…not the real ones?!!?
RRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHT.
SouthernGent on November 2, 2009 at 9:51 PM
I’ll be Scarborough is surprised he didn’t win it for this morning’s take-down of Olby.
jon1979 on November 2, 2009 at 9:52 PM
I wonder what Keithy would do if he had to ride by a billboard with his face and the word worst on it, every day?
Its only fair and with his ratings, true.
Speakup on November 2, 2009 at 9:52 PM
Sweet Ed, Olbermann just got out the anointing oil for you, get in the bath tub!
Daemonocracy on November 2, 2009 at 9:54 PM
I’ll bet Chrissy would pay for it.
Speakup on November 2, 2009 at 9:54 PM
You guys are only criticizing Olbermann because you’re so afraid of him.

Shocka! Olby didn’t mention Moran comparing Republicans to the Taliban on his oh so impartial list. I noticed Olby didn’t deny that he said Murdoch was more dangerous than terrorists.
Speedwagon82 on November 2, 2009 at 9:54 PM
A heart felt salute to the Captain. As far as Overbite goes, screw you!
Les in NC on November 2, 2009 at 9:55 PM
Way to go ED!!! I’ll raise a nice glass of mead in your honor tonight. Somehow you topped genocidal abortionists and genocidal warlords with a simple tweet. I aspire to one day be as openly hated by leftist agitators and propagandists. Well, individually that is. The left hates us liberty lovers as a group already. Keep speaking ‘truth to power’ Ed. ;-)
chicagojedi on November 2, 2009 at 9:55 PM
Is “worser” even a word?
What a putz.
Good Lt on November 2, 2009 at 9:55 PM
Yep, I corrected the record twice over immediately on Twitter, and the Weekly Standard never even mentioned the story, I don’t think. At least he’s moved up from awarding these things for typos. I didn’t even feel like I earned the last one.
Thanks for the clip, Allah!
marykatharine on November 2, 2009 at 9:56 PM
Ed is worse than Pat Boone? No. Way.
Pablo on November 2, 2009 at 9:56 PM
You forgot a tag on that one: /babbling RINO
MarkBoabaca on November 2, 2009 at 9:56 PM
Lucky Ed. I wish I was Olbydouche’s worst person of the day. Every day I wake up hoping that today is the day!
FireBlogger on November 2, 2009 at 9:57 PM
So we are led to believe that there are more than one of each of: 1) Malik Shabazz, 2) William Ayers, 3) Michael Moore, 4) Jeremiah Wright, & 5) Michael Jordan? Yes, I agree, some are “common” names, but how many of these “common” names have previous/current relationships with the man-child-in-chief?
I ain’t buyin’ it.
MsUnderestimated on November 2, 2009 at 9:57 PM

canopfor on November 2, 2009 at 9:57 PM
Hopefully tomorrow Olbermann will have to name the voters of Virginia, New Jersey, and NY-23 as The Worst People In The World
Realist on November 2, 2009 at 9:57 PM
Wouldn’t this be a way for Olbermann to get ratings – not that he needs a ratings boost or anything.
MarkBoabaca on November 2, 2009 at 9:57 PM
So CNN fact checks SNL skits and MSNBC monitors Twitter streams? That is some journalistic work right there, I tell ya. They still can’t figure out why they have ratings lower then reruns of 70 sitcoms on the TVLand channel though.
BTW IF Christie manages to pull it off in NJ tomorrow can Fox news claim that if you want to win elections appearing on their channel might be your best chance? Corzine has been playing childish and refusing to do interviews with them.
Just A Grunt on November 2, 2009 at 9:58 PM

Has anyone at Hot Air gotten the coveted Pinhead award from O’Reilly? Just curious about the company I keep.
fourdeucer on November 2, 2009 at 9:59 PM
Way to go Ed! To hell with Olby
ted c on November 2, 2009 at 10:01 PM
Hotair got a mention on Hannity, tonight, for exposing the New York Slimes’ post facto editing of the Dover story. That, and the swipe by Olberdouche is a win-win. Congrats.
progressoverpeace on November 2, 2009 at 10:01 PM
What a stupid segment. It drones on incessantly, with Olberman nattering on throughout, with a moronic soundtrack to boot. The thing is steeped in hyperbolae, with a twist of tedium. Worst person in the world for some tweets!?
This is pure elitist entertainment. Like one of those unreadable novels that professors drool over.
Olberman is a nobody. He better pray his new employer will put up with his lameness.

canopfor on November 2, 2009 at 10:05 PM
In fairness to Allah, he will never be worst person in the world because Olbermann can’t reasonably expect to accuse Rudolph Giuliani of being an anonymous blogger.
No one is going to get the idea he’s trying to convey of a disgruntled New York hawk with a slight socially liberal streak and a mixed Catholicism bordering on atheism.
He’ll probably just use Spongebob for AP when he gets around to it.
BKennedy on November 2, 2009 at 10:05 PM
Congrats to all four of them. I don’t know what I’d do if I thought Olbermann liked me.
Jim Treacher on November 2, 2009 at 10:05 PM
Does that make up for him liking you a couple weeks ago?
MarkT on November 2, 2009 at 10:07 PM
That explains why I saw Ed running down the middle of the street, ripping his shirt off his torso, screaming, “Why, God, must you torment me?!”
Nethicus on November 2, 2009 at 10:07 PM
dogsoldier had the infamous “Hussein” comment, that O’Reilly called a ‘blog post’ and sent people into conniptions … until The Precedent ran to Cairo a week later and called himself ‘Hussein’. Not a pinhead, though. dogsoldier made the O’Reilly ‘right wing extremist grumble grumble hurumph …’, if that’s close enough for you.
progressoverpeace on November 2, 2009 at 10:08 PM
Congratulations, Ed. That is a badge of honor.
rbj on November 2, 2009 at 10:08 PM
You noticed that, too…
Funny how even nation changing stories never made the grade.
Seven Percent Solution on November 2, 2009 at 10:09 PM
Man, Ed even got a “Super Genius” comment out of Olbermann.
Wile E. Coyote must be rolling over in his grave now, or giving a thumbs up.
disillusioned on November 2, 2009 at 10:12 PM
Ed, you are my hero.
Let the dancing in the streets begin…
uncivilized on November 2, 2009 at 10:13 PM
I can’t even imagine the beatdown Ed would give Olby in a one-on-one debate. Hehehehe. Talk about a mismatch! “Oh, the humanity!”
munchnstuf on November 2, 2009 at 10:15 PM
Well I am truly priveledged to have gotten registered here. No sarcasm either.

jerrytbg on November 2, 2009 at 10:16 PM
MK you know these things aren’t awarded based on the so called “offense”. They are for the people Olby hates the most for the ultimate liberal offense, you disagree with him.
imshocked on November 2, 2009 at 10:17 PM

Wasn’t Ed the BEST Person in the world once?

PS. I hope Ed and Generallissamo do an election night coverage tommorrow night. That would really rock!
Dire Straits on November 2, 2009 at 10:17 PM
Ed, it is only because I hold you in such high esteem that I forced myself to click on that video. I know you watch this crap all the time to bring KO’s insanity to us for our enjoyment.
That being said, please don’t make me do it again.
