COUNTDOWN with Keith Olbermann: SPECIAL COMMENT ALERT!!!
Edited on Fri May-23-08 07:22 PM by johnfunk

--> RED ALERT<--
ORANGE
YELLOW
GREEN
BLUE

Tonight... on Sen. Clinton's Bobby Kennedy assassination comments today to the Argus Leader editorial board.


NOTE: I happen to like both of the Democratic front-runners. But I also happen to have campaigned for Bobby Kennedy. Senator Clinton jumped the shark today -- her comment to the Argus Leader will cost her supporters -- it's won't be the Wrath of Keith (or others).

On edit: Cheezy alert system. And yes, the siren animation is originally from Media Whores Online.

1. God, I hope no one falls in his blowhole.
His ego would eat through a suit of armor!!

5. Why is that? Because Senator Clinton formally jumped the shark today?
I happen to like Clinton -- but that comment was unforgivable, not to mention beyond inappropriate.

9. Actually, I was.
Any other snide put-downs you want to send my way for shooting down? I swear, sometimes it's like skeet shooting in here...

8. No, because Olbermann is an egotistical douchebag.
I quit watching him before the primaries even started. I insist on having the biggest ego in my living room. He was crowding me.

But he does have a remarkably big blowhole. I will say that for him.

11. Most journos are egotistical douchebags. I'll take a truth-telling douchebag...
... over a FOXed-up pseudojournalist any day. And about the only ones out there these days are Rachel Maddow and Keith Olbermann.

13. I prefer the truth-telling without the douchebaggery.
But to each their own, I guess.

Your analysis is correct, though. :)

20. Sy Hersh.
But, I'm getting ahead of myself.

I don't think anyone who has heard Olbermann can honestly say he is an objective journalist. Then again, you didn't say "objective".

15. I cannot believe he is spending so much time on Clinton's comment.
It's as if he doesn't realize this is Friday and he wants to miss the document dump.

I'm not going to stop watching over this, but he really needs to have an ego check.

16. They are both important stories, but the Clinton flap has been MSNBC's top story since 3pm EST
And this from an e-mail from a Clinton supporter friend on Capitol Hill about the gaffe: "Hillary is over. Stick a fork in her."

19. This is why I don't like 24-hour "news" channels...
...that spend all day on one story.

Seriously? The whole day? Every show?

6. Welcome to DU -- enjoy your short stay...
I smell a tombstone being carved...

Keith, by the way, is an independent moderate. He's gone after Democrats more than once in his Special Comments, and tonight he's going after one of the most powerful. Got a problem with that, Spatky/

10. The main difference between Bill and Keith is
Keith is funny and Bill is admired by a bunch of basement-dwelling douchebag-sniffing pole-smokers.

Hope this helps.

3. Uhoh...
The merde meets the ventalateur and we will have to endure several hundred posts from people who suddenly think that Keith is some kind of Big Dummy and worse, because their ox is being gored.

In spite of the fact that they are forgetting an important concept: there are some places you just shouldn't go.

28. KO peeled the hide right off her. I didn't know she had made this RFK reference several times before
Senator Clinton -- how could you?
