I have to first say that my views are less than conservative, I disagree with nearly everything the Bush Administration does but this guy is just too over the top. Go to 02:25 and look where he implies he enjoyed listening to Mel Allen. Mel Allen quit announcing in 1964 Olbermann would have been only 5 that summer. He loves to set himself up as such a promising genius from the getgo. How about his hero ER Murrow, again too young, just giving himself a more romantic beginning.

I rather admire Thomas Jefferson and he was a wee bit before my time.

[davisracquet]

Here's how the report should have went: Keith Olbermann spent 4 days at ground zero and was so impressed by the muslims that he began his own war against the American president. He will do his best every night to put President Bush up for world ridicule and is very happy when another nation gives the US the back of the hand. Can anyone imagine after the attack on Pearl Harbor, a newsman screaming at FDR every night like an unglued ax murderer?

[OPMaster1978]

Delusional much?

[VandalRoy]

Because he is right! Get your head out of the sand.

i'm gonna respectfully disagree he reports the news as it is then he gives his opinions and has analysts to offer more insight on it.. it's entertaining and it is pretty informative as well unlike some others who entertain and MISinform (oreilly, hannity, etc.)

@neef263 I wish I could that's very fast!!!

[smartvhf]

olbermann comes unglued

[RealTime88]

@davisracquet Well I'm glad asked me because I am a BIG fan of Keith's, I consider him a hero of mine. Keith now works for Current TV, a cable network Al Gore runs where he still hosts Countdown 5 nights a week live at 8 PM. George W. Bush deserves no respect. I will not say one great thing about him. If I were President Obama, I would have had had Bush and his fascist pigs thrown into jail. I'm proud of my progressive values and people like you are the reason I'm glad I am not a Republican.

[davisracquet]

@RealTime88 So what's become of this skunk anyway? He's no longer around. Idiots like Olbermann have a clear agenda, "whatever they like is good, anything everyone else feels is nuts". For example, look at all the disrespect hurled at President Bush, just ask Obama a friendly question about basketball, and he'll have you branded a racist.

[RealTime88]

@davisracquet He says "I'm not a liberal, I'm an American." Maybe he is an independent like I am who values progressive values. To answer your question no Mr. O'Reilly has not said Keith Olbermann's name one time. When Keith goes after people he is not scared to. He hates Republicans because they suck and he goes after Democrats when they don't stand up for they truly believe in. That solve your mystery?

[RealTime88]

@plus44fan36 His analysis of the news of the day is like riding a roller coaster. You feel many different emotions when you watch and learn about the days events. As Keith said: very serious, very angry, very silly, very snarky. You feel better informed at the end of the ride.

thought this should be seen

[captwasabi]

Olbermann is such a hypocritical cocksmear it's disgusting. Olbermann takes umbrage when Rumsefled made his comment about people who objected to the war as being similar in nature to those who appeased Hitler and yet when this arrogant, stuffed shirt douchebag had tree-hugger and failed comic Garafalo on his show he did not stop her from making an almost identical comment that anyone who opposed Obama was racist. Olbermann, you are a hypocrtical fuckstick.

[Zaxxon2008]

"viewership is up 85%"

LOL so his viewership is up to a whopping 200,000 now???

ROFLMFAO!!!!!

try competing in the MILLIONS, Keith... then you might have a chance at keeping your pathetically awful hate-spewed show!

what will this pathetic windbag have when COMCAST gives him the boot next year? Air America? i dont think so! maybe a webcast of 28 viewers, mostly consisting of Newsweek subscribers!!!

BWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAAAAAAAAAA­A

[Zaxxon2008]

and the best from this clip is when she says "he ends each show with the reminder of the unpopular war in Iraq"

to which they throw to a clip of Olbermann, as he has done for 7+years now, INCORRECTLY claiming G-W Bush ever actually said "Mission Accomplished" (which he NEVER said!!!!!)

but hey, what do lies matter when they are repeated ad-nauseum by the 'media'??? oh wait, now i must be channeling Goebbels!
