Video: Hey, who’s up for six minutes of “teabagger” jokes on MSNBC?
posted at 10:00 pm on November 17, 2009 by Allahpundit
No, just kidding. There’s only two minutes or so of actual jokes. The other four-plus minutes are devoted to Olby taking credit for mainstreaming a sexual euphemism to degrade his political opponents. Good work; it’s important to have goals, especially when you’re the Edward R. Murrow of your generation.
For essential context on this delicate point, I refer you to John Simpson’s old but gold analysis at Big Hollywood of who’s really ‘bagging whom these days. Exit quotation from Matt Welch, addressing the meme du jour: “Generally speaking, when key evidence is ‘unspoken,’ and in fact imagined by the prosecution, it’s a good bet that the overall case is weak.”

AP probably quadruples his viewership by posting this crap here. I, for one, will not click on the link.

Hate, hate, hate, its what liberals do best.

I hate when this guy is on NBC talking football
It makes me spit up my Disaronno
blatantblue on November 17, 2009 at 10:03 PM
Can’t imagine having to watch that. Piece of dung. It’s like watching a 12 year old boy talking about farting, for Pete’s sake. Enough already.
tcn on November 17, 2009 at 10:04 PM
speaking of masturbation in the headlines
this is mental masturbation at it’s best
blatantblue on November 17, 2009 at 10:05 PM
You’re missing great teabagging jokes. This material is good enough for primetime, people!
Allahpundit on November 17, 2009 at 10:05 PM
I always wait for the kickoff and watch the Weather Channel during halftime.
thomasaur on November 17, 2009 at 10:07 PM
Let’s talk about other types of bags when relating to the likes of Olby.
Like GAS-BAG, WIND-BAG, BARF-BAG, DOUCHE-BAG, etc!
pilamaye on November 17, 2009 at 10:07 PM
More people on this site will probably watch this clip than actually watched his show..I will not-he literally turns my stomach.
Static21 on November 17, 2009 at 10:08 PM
Not gonna watch- why ruin the evening?
Scotsman on November 17, 2009 at 10:08 PM
Liberals always make fun of Fox News veiwers for being childish and idiotic.
It would be funny if it weren’t so very, very sad.
Grafted on November 17, 2009 at 10:08 PM
I was really hoping that would go viral. I almost fell out of my chair at work the day I first read it.
BadgerHawk on November 17, 2009 at 10:08 PM
I hope you guys are kidding when you say that. Sometimes I think people seriously mean that when they say it.
Allahpundit on November 17, 2009 at 10:09 PM
What a Tool! He says WE described ourselves as “Teabaggers” 1st.
Indian Outlaw on November 17, 2009 at 10:09 PM
Well, Lenny Bruce had his politically-correct martyrdom; George Carlin had his “seven deadly words;” Olby’s entitled to his “one sort of gross and stupid innuendo.”
notropis on November 17, 2009 at 10:09 PM
Keith Olbermann = Feltcher (slight sexual content warning)
Seven Percent Solution on November 17, 2009 at 10:09 PM
I change the channel when he is on NBC on Monday night, and I’m certainly not going to watch this clip either.
JeffinOrlando on November 17, 2009 at 10:09 PM
You know and we know that these threads are just a chance for you to make a few witty jokes and for us to have a defacto open thread where we make fun of leftist news people.
BadgerHawk on November 17, 2009 at 10:10 PM
Try this:
equal parts DiSaronno and Jack Daniels; on the rocks, or straight up.
It’s called a Tennesee Mud; and, it will get you there quick!
massrighty on November 17, 2009 at 10:10 PM
No clickage for the Olberdouche.
hillbillyjim on November 17, 2009 at 10:10 PM
I know it’s cliché, Allah, but are you going to be part of the problem or the solution? Is it really worth the traffic? Are you just a traffic whore, or are there any other aspirations?
Scotsman on November 17, 2009 at 10:11 PM
For a guy that is so hung up on teabagging, with that face and his simpering style, you know that nose has propped up more that just those glasses.
sgtstogie on November 17, 2009 at 10:11 PM
NBC Universal owns the Weather Channel.
BadgerHawk on November 17, 2009 at 10:11 PM
If by “national” you mean “a couple dozen patchouli-reeking sh*thole apartments in Berkeley and Greenwich Village and a few couches in Madison, Wisconsin,” then yeah, I guess.

Johan Klaus on November 17, 2009 at 10:13 PM
It’s closer than you think. Olby’s numbers represent people who happen to have his station on when he’s on; yours represent only people who actually read your site.
I’ve seen MSNBC on in bars and nursing homes and hotel lobbies and school faculty lounges. They get the numbers, even if no one is paying attention.
Generally people who click on to your site, actually read what’s here.
notropis on November 17, 2009 at 10:13 PM
Allahpundit on November 17, 2009 at 10:09 PM
OK, AP, not literally, but I could handle him more if there was the slighest bit of evidence of the guy being fair…
Static21 on November 17, 2009 at 10:14 PM
With KO, no, but on some of the clips you post it might actually be close. Ed Schultz has dismally low ratings, and if Anderson Cooper’s still doing teabagging bits you could probably give him a run for his money.
BadgerHawk on November 17, 2009 at 10:15 PM
It’s wintertime in the Rockies so I keep an eye to TWC, cable is free since we gave them right-of-way across the ranch, and ‘The Douche’ isn’t one of their anchors.
thomasaur on November 17, 2009 at 10:15 PM
No, but I literally can’t watch him and I won’t.
kahall on November 17, 2009 at 10:15 PM
I would pay good money to see a conservative, preferably a woman kick this douche-bags arse…

I didn’t watch it, but Keith Olbermann seems to know an awful lot about homosexual practices. I wonder why that is.
Special Forces Grunt on November 17, 2009 at 10:19 PM
I’m sitting here having a spot o’ tea now that you mention it. This type of BS just rolls off my back now, I’m impervious. Next topic please.
ted c on November 17, 2009 at 10:21 PM
Olbermann just looks downright creepy.
ddrintn on November 17, 2009 at 10:21 PM
You don’t want to relax the no profanity rule. Do you?
Seriously this is disgusting. You know I used to watch CNN and I stopped when I heard James Carville warn about race riots if Barry lost. Apparently lot of folks turned away from CNN. Same story on other channels.
PS: Thankfully nobody at home cares what news channel is on. They are more interested in recipes and cartoons.

Kind of strange that a man who has a famously small member would talk about balls all night.

Just keep giving us the Palin threads and everybody is happy.
Sapwolf on November 17, 2009 at 10:26 PM
You know what would be a Ratings bonanza for prime time?
“The Great Debate” Each week have two people with opposite views get on stage in front of a equal panel and debate the questions asked. Beck VS Olberman would be a good start. Gore vs a 3rd grader… you get the point. Ratings through the ROOF!!

Off topic, I know but I would watch!

I can’t watch KO he thinks he’s funny and he’s not. He’s disgusting and that doesn’t equal funny. I can’t stand people like him.
Brat4life on November 17, 2009 at 10:28 PM
The only time ‘The Douche’ has ever been funny he was being spoofed by Ben Affleck on SNL.
thomasaur on November 17, 2009 at 10:30 PM
The word “douche” will always be my Pavlovian reaction to hearing this douche’s name or seeing his smug, douche bag face.
It would be a waste of energy to form an argument of any degree of sophistication. Even saying why he’s a douche, offers him too much respect. It’s demeaning. It would be like building a case to prove that the Earth is round. It just is and you don’t have to prove it or say why. And Olbermann is a douche. He just is. It’s self-evident and incontrovertible.
He’s a douche and that’s all that ever needs to be said about the douche.
uptight on November 17, 2009 at 10:31 PM
Why isn’t Olbermann in jail yet?
Narutoboy on November 17, 2009 at 10:33 PM

Republicans never used the term “tea bagger” they said tea-party or tea-partier. Tea-bagging was from the land of liberals because they already used the term in the normal course of their day.
Olby is a dolt.
Mojave Mark on November 17, 2009 at 10:38 PM
Its not really a sex euphemism its a sex act… If the revolutionaries had thrown crates of fudge over board instead of tea, they would call us Fudge-packers.
liquidflorian on November 17, 2009 at 10:41 PM
It never fails, the more desperate liberals get, they more shrill and crude their attacks become.
This is good news, they’re losing the debate, and it’s obvious they know it.
mr.blacksheep on November 17, 2009 at 10:41 PM
I have a question…
why bother to even post this? I am not even going to watch what should be a bunch of shit…
who watches MSNBC dolt anyway? if we don’t watch him, why would we care what the hell he says? the only people who watch him are idiot liberals (and not too many of them anyway) and the only reason for posting this here is to rile up some people who come to HotAir and actually shows a bit of lazy… I guess it is like putting the magnetic words “Palin” in any headline and you get traffic like crazy…
so how about forgetting this dolt and posting on something I might actually watch
PhilipJames on November 17, 2009 at 10:43 PM
Treacher recently called Olbermann a Jack-o-Lantern with lungs. I just love that. He does have an enormous, creepy, empty head.
Ted Torgerson on November 17, 2009 at 10:44 PM
Liberalism at this level, is just capitalist opportunism, but wrapped in sanctimonious, hypocritical platitudes.
Olberdouche is, in this respect, no different to Michael Moore, George Galloway or Obama: a huckster on the make. The people they are grifting a bottom-feeder liberals who buy the books and contribute to the campaigns, ratings etc.
Fine. Smarter Liberals feeding off dumber Liberals. It’s a business but the hypocrisy makes you sick when you have to confront it on an almost daily basis. Liberalism belongs with its hillbilly cousin Socialism. Underground. It’s happier there. It has more credibility and its cynical acquisitive nature isn’t so obscenely transparent (for anyone with enough braincells to see through it).
uptight on November 17, 2009 at 10:45 PM
I`m just so numb to him at this point. I can`t find the anger any more, only mild annoyance.

SilverStar830 on November 17, 2009 at 11:12 PM
Meh. My Outrageous Outrage-o-meter doesn’t even register Olberman’s sophmoroic idiocy. I like the Big Hollywood link earlier. For all the talk of “teabaggers” Olby and Maddow and their ilk just can’t seem to get enough of Obama’s Chocolate Munchkin Donut drop.
Badger in KC on November 17, 2009 at 11:14 PM

You’re absolutely right; that was the first thing I thought of when I heard him make that statement.
Dopenstrange on November 17, 2009 at 11:15 PM
I didn’t watch it, I don’t care to watch it. What I will say is that, once I hear or see the word “teabagger” or “teabagging” I immediately assume the person writing or speaking has no credibility.
I was shocked to hear President Clinton, a man who is generally careful about words, not realizing that using that word would be considered unacceptable. Once again, a Democrat proves to me they’re just lowlife people trying to divide the country.
I’m also surprised that an organization that’s trying to be respected as a news organization, would allow its employees to use those words against potential viewers. I know I won’t watch them, and I tended to watch them periodically to find out what the wacky left is doing.

I watched one clip of Olbermann provided here at Hot Air two years ago. That was it for me. Adults simply don’t behave like that.

These morons do understand it’s the tea “bagger” who is doing the dominating in this act…as in suck my…yeah, David Schuster probably knows what’s up.
StevefromMKE on November 17, 2009 at 11:23 PM
I never even heard of this guy (Olbie- whatever his name is) until I saw clips of him on HotAir. I started watching a few, but I can’t stand him. I’ll take your word that the jokes are great.
It’s funny, I used to watch so much TV news, read so many papers and the big 3 magazines, Newsweek, Time and US News. Also would read a few German ones, Der Spiegel (couldn’t even remember how to spell it). Now, I seldom watch TV unless I need to fall asleep. Get it all online, except for Rush.
JellyToast on November 17, 2009 at 11:23 PM
Not watching Olbermann. I actually LIKED what I had for supper and want to keep it down.
David Block on November 17, 2009 at 11:25 PM
Not going there, but tell me, people, why does NBC think it can have Olbermann on the NFL pregame show? Hasn’t he agregiously insulted at least half of his audience? Don’t they even know he’s an anti-American hater? I would think the TIVO stats are that whenever he comes on, half the audience turns the channel. Am I the only one that won’t watch him on Hot Air or on the NFL Pregame?
Christian Conservative on November 17, 2009 at 11:26 PM

I never watch Olby unfortunately I had his program playing in the background and heard this disgusting rant. I wonder what would be the response of the left if Latinos or African Americans were referred to with such a derogatory term. Better yet what will be reaction of Olby and the rest of the MSNBC gang when the people they’ve degraded run the dems out of office next year.

This guy is definitely number one on my list of people I would like to punch in the face. Couldn’t even watch the entire video.
