Ah, spring, when a lonely middle-aged manoctet217;s fancy bend to thought of impotent fury Let’s take a look at the week in Keith Olbermann.
FRIDAY, MAY 7: Tonight, Olbermann equated Republican with terrorist, lamenting “how often they have tried to panic the USA people in the same way that? terrorist endeavor to panic the American people.”
He probably does.’t mean that literally! But the fact is, Olbermann never spring anyone the benefit of the doubt on this kind of thing Just a few days later he spent a section excoriating a CA Congressional campaigner for declaring “hunting season” on liberals. So I’m not inclined to give him an inch on this, either. Hey, Keith Olbermann: stop equating Republican with terrorist.
While we wait for that to happen, however, here’s your out-of-context Olbermann quote of the week: “I literally was up with mister Dimblebee until 8 o’clock in the morning.”
MONDAY, MAY 10: Tonight, a terrible jape about tiger Woods’ “bulging disk,” then, during a section about Miranda right?s, this zinger: “Miranda’s flexibility?? What is this, ‘Sex and the City?’” That is sub-Borscht belt material I think I like him better when he’s accusing his political opposition of terrorism
TUESDAY, MAY XI: We’ve established that Olbermann has a terrible sense of wit Usually he’s only blabbering to himself and his 17 viewers, but occasionally he retarding force a guest into this hellish spiral witness poor Howard Fineman floundering during this exchange:
FINEMAN: Barrasso of Wyoming, Murkowski of Alaska—they are jumping down in there to endeavor to slow the Equus caballus because there‘s a going to be a hatful of sentiment on the hill to greatly restrict offshore oil drilling, even though President Obama proposed it.
OLBERMANN: Do you have video of that?
FINEMAN: Of him proposing it?
OLBERMANN: No, of senator Murkowski jumping down on the horses??
FINEMAN: Not yet. But you never knowIt‘s early in the process
OLBERMANN: check with some of your “newsweek” colleagues.
FINEMAN: OK
I would commiseration Fineman, but he appears on the show what feel like octet night a week, so he’s gotta know what he’s walking into by now.
Olbermann also got his extra large pantie in a twist over fox News host Boy Orator of the Platte Kilmeade’s thoughtfulness “Do medium mercantile establishment like the New York Times aid and abet terrorists by leaking national security secrets?”
But that’s not all. check out this other fox report from last week: “The virtually wall-to-wall coverage of the Times foursquare bombing probe was a problem for researcher efforting to solve the case.” It certainly appears that fox is declaring news media “a problem,” right?
Oops! That was actually known conservativist chump NPR. I eagerly await a “Countdown” section in which Keith self-righteously declares NPR a traitor to America. In fact I’m going to clasp my breath until he does, and within just a few minutes I should have just about as much oxygen flow to my encephalon as Keith does.
