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?

Heh,
Ed went from the best to the worst-ish via KO in a year.
Up and down trends… gotta love them.
upinak on November 2, 2009 at 10:20 PM
Funny nobody really likes Virginia Fox. But I’m sure Olberman thinks he got a big fish somewhere in there.
ThackerAgency on November 2, 2009 at 10:22 PM
KO’s bi-polar and one never knows where his level of mania will settle out.
thomasaur on November 2, 2009 at 10:22 PM
Go Pat Boone!!!!!!
(Honestly, “twits” are now to be taken as serious news items?)
Marcus on November 2, 2009 at 10:23 PM
I think “The Boss” has probaly been named more than anyone to Olby’s worst person list. Ed will have to work double time to her.
Dire Straits on November 2, 2009 at 10:24 PM
Sorry left out a word.
Dire Straits on November 2, 2009 at 10:26 PM
Bittersweet having to share a Gold Medal.
Erich66 on November 2, 2009 at 10:27 PM
Aww welcome back Ed.
From best person to worst person in the world.
Do you still want to say thank you?
F15Mech on November 2, 2009 at 10:28 PM
Note that Olby keeps himself out of running. F-ing coward POS who doesn’t have a REAL man’s brass to go into a combat zome with American troops. Geraldo might be a POS, too, but at least he’ll go to the front line. Olbie isn’t man enough.
If Ed’s the worst person in the world, I want his autograph and will get it front of every MSM photographer and reporter on the planet if I can.
Fuck the MSM They can’t do anything right and need to fake stories and photos to seem relevent in a savvy world.
Liam on November 2, 2009 at 10:29 PM
Also something tells me that Olby does not do his homework.
F15Mech on November 2, 2009 at 10:29 PM
Every time I read Keith Olbermann’s name, I hear that sound clip that Glenn Beck plays on his radio show of Olby saying, “God forgive you.”
MSNBC is a joke, Olbermann is the punchline.
Left Coast Right Mind on November 2, 2009 at 10:32 PM
You can thank Bill O’Reilly for the ascension of this idiot…no one knew who he was until O’reilly fought with him over something stupid and then Oberman was off and running…
CCRWM on November 2, 2009 at 10:32 PM
Olby’s picks of Mary Katherine and Amanda did say one thing.. He knows how to pick good looking women.:)
Dire Straits on November 2, 2009 at 10:34 PM
Every time I think of Olby, I recall Dr. Strangelove rising from his wheelchair and all his Nazi salutes.
“Mein Fuhrer! I can valk!”
And then the nukes start falling.
Liam on November 2, 2009 at 10:37 PM
As for the subject of KOs postulation, we only have the WHs word that those are names which happen to be the same as some pretty extreme people. The fact that ALL of the media have accepted it as the gospel truth is disturbing.
Really, look at those names.
And second, look at the number of times that some of them have visited, the ones the WH will admit were real, how is it that f-ing Kim Gandy has been there a dozen times.
Aren’t they killing unborn babies fast enough for the extermination crowd?
I guess with the news of the PP director who resigned after an epiphany that abortion kills babies and all PP really wants is money, will mean that Kim Gandy may have to just move in, she’ll need to be there at the one’s beck and call for strategy sessions.
Jvette on November 2, 2009 at 10:37 PM
So the White House put the famous names on the list on purpose. That is so childish. It shows the immaturity of Obama big time. It says more about them than it does about us.
scrubjay on November 2, 2009 at 10:39 PM
Oh is that the explanation? Sure, sure, I buy that.
Jvette on November 2, 2009 at 10:43 PM
Saw his show tonight. O’Reilly would do well when having Brit Hume on the show again in the future to shut up and listen. And then the second segment with Neil Cavuto. O’Reilly would do well when having Neil Cavuto on the show again in the future to shut up and listen.
Marcus on November 2, 2009 at 10:46 PM
If you’re NOT making Kayo’s
enemies listWorst Person in The World list, you’re probably doing it wrong.SuperCool on November 2, 2009 at 10:47 PM
O’Reilly was classic, tonight. He played the clip of Rush telling Chris Wallace that The Precedent is intentionally trying to destroy our economy and Bill can’t seem to figure out why The Precedent would possibly want to destroy the US, as he wouldn’t get re-elected if he did … Sheesh. Bill can’t grasp the concept of a suicide bomber (which is what I think it is – REVENGE!), nor of an aspiring dictator who is preparing the nation for a takeover (which is what many think), nor of a real marxist who is looking to replace the capitalist system he keeps saying that he wants to “fundamentally transform” (which is what most think), nor of a simply destructive person – a sociopath, nor of a narcissist who likes exercising power for no reason other than to enjoy seeing it, nor of a flat-out moron, … Then, right after, he does a segment on the health care care bill that they are trying to ram through, and tells Cavuto that he thinks it’s sure to bankrupt the nation (which is a disaster the likes of which the world has never seen) as well as it being intentionally incomprehensible and overly complicated, yet doesn’t seem to connect that statement to his segment on Rush just a few minutes earlier. O’Reilly is circling the drain, big time.
progressoverpeace on November 2, 2009 at 10:49 PM
Olby certainly lives in his own little bizzaro world.
aikidoka on November 2, 2009 at 10:53 PM
You guys should make pics of yourself as Olby’s worst person of the world, or heck a calendar of all the conservatives he has labeled worst, authgraph and sell them, then give the profits to a political campaign or charity that will make his head explode.
aikidoka on November 2, 2009 at 10:56 PM
Jeez, Olby just goes on and on and on, in that self-important tone of his. He doesn’t even stop for a breath. I had to bail on it.
Go RBNY on November 2, 2009 at 10:58 PM
Still one up and one down is zero. You still need one more to make up for the Best Person in the World or whatever it was.

Ed, I salute you, friend. My local REC chairman was on KO WWP a few months ago for the Tea Party Hitler signs.

When you go to the bathroom, don’t forget to wipe your Olbermann.
GarandFan on November 2, 2009 at 11:10 PM
Joey Scar did a perfect Keith R. Olbermurrow the anchorman this morning. Newbusters has the vid.
OxyCon on November 2, 2009 at 11:12 PM
Keith Olbermann said that Amanda Carpenter is a “modest woman with much to be modest about”. Could that be another example of Keith’s sexism? He has already called Michelle Malkin a “big mashed-up bag of meat with lipstick on it” and called Gretchen Carlson a “news actress”.
SoulGlo on November 2, 2009 at 11:13 PM
Good idea, I’d buy one.

capitalist piglet on November 2, 2009 at 11:24 PM
Congrats Ed! I had a dream last night that Olbie seized up on-air and passed away from a heart attack with the cameras rolling. Best dream I evah had. Hope it’s a reccuring dream!

Mojave Mark on November 2, 2009 at 11:27 PM
Keith Olbermann, modern day luddite. Spends whole summer trying to get twitter account and experiences epic fail.

Well done, Ed!

Don’t worry Ed most of us would pay to be any grouping with M-Kat and A-Carp, all the more when its redhead A-Carp.

Fox News is worse than Al-Qaeda.
Olberman not channeling Danny Pearl.
profitsbeard on November 2, 2009 at 11:44 PM
I love you Ed, but even that, combined with the witty set-up by your esteemed partner in crime – Allah, is not enough to get me to click on that video… no way, Jose!
D2Boston on November 2, 2009 at 11:49 PM
This just proves what we knew all along.
Let me be the first to say it.
Allahpundit, you are the RINO KING.
DanSC on November 2, 2009 at 11:51 PM
Olbermann is unashamedly sexist. Actually, I don’t know what he personally believes, but I know that he often insults women with allusions or wisecracks about their looks or personal lives. If he’s not a sexist, then he’s missed his calling because he plays one perfectly.
::swerve::
Gretchen Carlson is not the example to use when defending Fox News. I know she went to Stanford; I know how hard it is to get into Stanford. I know that stats and achievement prove her to be a very intelligent woman.
IMO she comes off as unintelligent and dishonest. I think her journalistic instincts are good; she can find the nut. I just think her lack of honesty makes it hard to be an effective journalist.
She is in the same league as Roland Martin or David Shuster. She is no less agenda-driven than Olbermann and no less an embarrassment to her respective employer.
The Race Card on November 2, 2009 at 11:56 PM
I just don’t see how this could get any better. Olby is livid & you’re smushed in with MKH & AC. It’s like the Witchdoctor of Vienna himself gave you this dream.
fronclynne on November 3, 2009 at 12:04 AM
Uh – isn’t this the same Keith Olbermann that made Twitter the worst person in the world back in March? From a former post:
And from the NYT of all places:
theblogprof on November 3, 2009 at 12:09 AM
Congrats Ed!
yoda on November 3, 2009 at 12:09 AM
How does it feel to be stalked by an impotard with Mommy issues, Ed?
MKH would CRUSH Keith in a cage match, BTW.
…and then drop-kick Mrs. Precious Perfect.
omnipotent on November 3, 2009 at 12:11 AM
Congratulations, Ed! You’ll know you’ve really arrived as a hate fetish for the low-wattage Left when Olbermann starts comparing you to food products. After his deranged rant against Michelle a few weeks ago, I told her I would be proud to serve as the scalloped potatoes of heartless capitalism beside her mashed-up meatbag of fascist hatred. Now I think it’s only fair that you get to be the potatoes, and I’ll take a spot as the sliced carrots of corporate greed.
It’s nice of MSNBC to spend an hour each night turning our flat-screen TVs into sandwich boards around the neck of a ranting lunatic. If I can’t manage my own Worst Person In The World award by the end of the year, I’m going to try sneaking onto the Olbermann set right before air time, giving Keith an Etch-a-Sketch, and telling him it’s a laptop containing Levi Johnston’s shattering expose of Sarah Palin.
Doctor Zero on November 3, 2009 at 12:24 AM
Heheh, Ed Morrriissseeyyyy, SUUUUUPer GENious!
I fear I shall live out the remainder of my days with no hope of ever becoming the Worst Person In The World, even sharing it with three other worthy cohorts.
I shall now have another beer and cry myself to sleep!
JamesLee on November 3, 2009 at 12:50 AM
Olbermann is evil.
He’s sick and twisted as well.

I love you Keith! You are a god! You obviously scare the sh*t of the conservative movement since they’re always talking about you, sort of how we leftists are allegedly afraid of Sarah Palin.
Norman Blizter on November 3, 2009 at 1:34 AM
Wow Ed that really is an honor! Seriously! My son tells me one of our (Mormon) General Authorities was a worst person not long ago for a speech at a church school concerning freedom of religion trumping gay rights….
At any rate, making KO mad is something to be proud of, really proud. It shows you are on the right side of everything! Good Job Ed!

So keep doing what you are doing and do even more of it if you can figure out what it is that you are doing. In other words just let it flow.

Yeah, but he ain’t no genius.
BigAlSouth on November 3, 2009 at 6:19 AM
Did Olby just call voting a violent act? Just to be clear, Pat Boone called for ‘massive voter gas’ to ‘kill’ the occupants of the White House. Is Olby so dumb he doesn’t understand analogies?
thule on November 3, 2009 at 6:19 AM
how does Ed warrant Worst Person for that tweet? There was nothing factually wrong with his tweet. He didn’t say Rev. Jeremiah Wright or Obama’s batsh*t insane uncle.
“Jeremiah Wright has visited the White House more often than McChrystal and Petraeus combined.”
This is a 100% true statement.
sarainitaly on November 3, 2009 at 6:22 AM
Amanda Carpenter and Mary Katharine Ham? “I’ll take ‘Women Keith Olbermann can’t get a date with’ for a hundred, Alex.”
radjah shelduck on November 3, 2009 at 6:25 AM
Will watch video later but I dunno if I should congratulate you or wait for Olby’s meltdown on Thursday.
Both of you do a kickass job. Allah is atheist which I disagree with, but that’s what this country is about. I am curious if atheists say “Oh my God” when the sh!t hits the fan. Really!
Oh, and the weird posts of Sarah Palin ’cause I don’t wanna call them anything else. Most Americans believe in freedom of religion (or none I guess) or shove bill down our collective throats.
Rush takes all these as badges of honor so you both should as well. Love it, enjoy it because the jerk has nothing better to say.
ProudPalinFan on November 3, 2009 at 6:38 AM

Mark Levin said the other day that the day he quits or he’s really over and done with radio he will release all the emails from chicks who have dated Keith Olbermann. It was hilarious and very r e v e a l i n g.
ProudPalinFan on November 3, 2009 at 6:40 AM
Note to PMSNBC: check Olby’s meds, he needs higher dosages
ya2daup on November 3, 2009 at 6:50 AM
Why yes, Keef, “odd” is a term that can be used to describe your followers – it’s kinder and milder than other terms that readily come to mind, but it does fit
ya2daup on November 3, 2009 at 6:59 AM
Very damning, good thing I watch this morning instead of last night. I am sure I wouldn’t have gotten a wink of sleep. Poor Mr. Olbermann.

For a guy who has to turn off Sunday Night Football every time Olberman’s face appears on the screen, I can’t click on this video. How the NFL can shove Rush Limbaugh out the door and still have Olberman attached to the game is beyond me. But Imelt has visited Obama 6 times at the White House so far, so that probably explains it. They don’t care that half the country turns off Olberman or that Olbmerman’s show is always way behind his Fox competitors. It’s about the ideology, baby.

Ris4victory on November 3, 2009 at 8:18 AM
Let me get this straight. Making a mistake qualifies someone to be the “worst person in the world?” How many times has Olberman made his own list? What about Biden, Obama, or Pelosi for some of their mistakes? I would ask about Gingrich (for endorsing Dede rather than Hoffman), but I’m sure he has been World’s Worst for something else in the past.
Conservative in NOVA on November 3, 2009 at 8:19 AM
With Olby’s gift for alotta Alinskyite alliterating, clearly one of you will need to serve (or be served) as the “thuffering thuccotash of theocracy”.

I watched this ahole for most of his “show” last night. He’s become completely unwatchable. Too bad O’Reilly couldn’t do a body language segment on this mental case. He’s a cornucopia of mental disorders. Narcissism and Borderline Personality Disorder are two off the top of my head, and I’m just a Realtor……
