"COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN" (8:00 P.M.-9:00 P.M)"
Host: Keith Olbermann
Topics/Guests:
It's a red-letter night on The Hour of Spin. The infamous deplorable Keith Olbermann disgorged his latest Special Education Komment, and the MisterMeter almost burns out! Bathtub Boy's jeremiad found him bellowing for more than ten minutes. Hey, maybe it's Keithy's way to get back some of that precious face time that mean old David Gregory is stealing from him! But first, there is always the opening spiel: Edwards endorsement shocker! It blows Hillary's win "out of the proverbial [Ding!] tub"! Hillary in crisis! Republicans lose! Another tour of a half-built baseball stadium! And of course, a plug for the latest Special Education Komment about "Mister" Bush! It's hump day--and obviously a day that Keith's demographics need some sort of hump--at Olbermann Watch.
UPDATED: with Special Education Komment video and annotated transcript!

No Hour of Spin tonight, as MSDNC is devoting what they claim will be over seven hours of coverage of what Olbermoronn insists is a meangless election. So whether you watch Wolf, Brit, or Fat Ass and the Drooler, consider this your open thread to comment on the election, the coverage, and related issues.
Expect a winner to be declared by the major news channels, and MSNBC, seconds after the polls close. To entertain you otherwise, and for the edification of new readers who may not know be familiar with this important historical documentation, here is an Olbermann Watch Flashback: "How Keith Olbermann Became Bathtub Boy: The Official Origin Story". Keep in mind that this clip dates from January, so don't be surprised that Oralmann is described as a shill for the Clintons. Back then, he was.

The infamous, deplorable Keith Olbermann is back. He's the master of multi-tasking: he can spout OlbySpin and lies to the camera while simultaneously blogging on DailyKos and surfing ebay for that must-have bubblegum card. Tonight, as always, he bellowed the opening spiel: Obama leads in super delegates! West Virginia! Joe Lieberthal! McCain's free ride! The Great Bill Moyers! SNL ridicules Hillary! And the biggest shocker of the night: the ancient O'Reilly video!! It's blue Monday at Olbermann Watch--where we spare you the annoyance of having to watch The Hour of Spin in the miracle of ObamaVision!

How far left do you need to move before even Democrats are criticizing you for being unfair and unbalanced? Certainly OlbyWatch readers know that Keith is unbalanced but now even Lanny Davis - a Democratic Party stalwart who practically lived on MSNBC during Keith's first go around and the failed cable news network - is sharpening the knives by announcing that he now refuses to appear on Countdown with Olbermann or Hardball with Matthews.
Davis told The Hill's Betsy Rothstein he "would not go on either Olbermann or Matthews ever". The Hill report, courtesy of Noel Sheppard at Newsbusters, reveals Davis spoken with MSNBC management about the blatant bias of the network:
Davis says he spoke with a "member of senior MSNBC management" who "told me personally that they were aware that they needed to do something to bring credibility back to MSNBC in terms of balance."
The former Clinton adviser points to MSNBC hosts Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann as culprits. Though he says he personally likes the men, citing a 25-year-old friendship with Matthews, he thinks their shows are deplorably one-sided.Share This:
Some KO Fan set up a fake "Facebook Pages" page for Countdown with Keith Olbermann. Facebook Pages, unlike Facebook Groups or Profiles, can only be created by the entity itself not fans of the entity whether that be an artist, product, company - or TV Show.
Per the Facebook FAQ:
AbuseWhat do I do when I see a Page with offensive content or a Page that is pretending to be an artist or business that it's not?
To report a Page for content that violates our Terms of Use, please click on the "Report this Page" link found in the bottom, left corner of every Page. We do not allow Pages to impersonate any entities and will remove any that attempt to do so.
So, I have helpfully reported the fake Countdown page to the Facebook Admins and look forward to their removing the fan page for violating the Terms of Use, much to the consternation of the 1,700+ people who "fanned" the page.
This blog is priceless. The blogger is shilling for Obama and seems to be a fan of KO in some sort of way but this person really has a talent. I could not stop laughing as I went through these posts. Here is an excerpt from the most recent one on Keith, apparently with nothing better to do, is screwing around in the comments section at Dkos.
...Keith replies with something so incredible stupid that I just had to post it. Just from his reply alone tells me he doesn't get it...He can't appreciate the hardships most people go through while he's sitting in his multi-million dollar condo getting fatter with a 24 year old girl.
The blogger continues...
The only time I see him actually put his feet on the ground is when he talks about our troops. Otherwise, he floats around with his big giant head trying to pretend he can relate...Share This:

Will Bunch is an OlbyLoon. Why? Will is the senior writer for the Philadelphia Daily News and its former political writer. Will's been covering presidential campaigns since 1984 and was a key member of the New York Newsday team that won the 1992 Pulitzer Prize for spot news reporting. Will lives in a tortured state of existence because he is a Pulitizer Prize winning journalist who has been relegated to a second rate tabloid newspaper in a third rate city. Keith is a second rate journalistic hack relegated to a third rate cable news channel. Will lives in a tortured state of existence which makes Keith Olbermann appealing to him.

Josh Phillips is an OlbyLoon. Why? Josh is an IT Professional from Houston, TX who spends his time blogging on a website called WindowsConnected and Twittering. Josh is a liberal living in the home state of George W. Bush, living in the same city with Bush 41. Keith hates George Bush 43 and 41 and even 41's wife and 43's mom. Josh is in a tortured state of existence which makes Keith so appealing to him.

In trying to learn more about what I can do with Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, et al I ran across what appears to be the official Countdown with Keith Olbermann Fan Page on Facebook. The page has about 1,700 fans. I thought it might be help clear-thinking readers understand the POV of KO fans to Google a few of these fans and see just what it is that makes them so ANGRY (grrrrrr!). If any OW commenters would care to became a contributor to our experimental "Meet the OlbyLoons" series please drop me a line. The work entails picking a fan from the Countdown with Keith Olbermann page, running a Google search to look for something that would explain the tortured nature of their existence which makes Keith Olbermann so appealing to them.
First up is CJ Griffin (above).
CJ Griffin is an OlbyLoon. Why? CJ is now in grad school at Rutgers but apparently worked as a Program Associate for Astraea Mission Statement:
Our mission is based is on an enduring commitment to feminism, progressive social change and an end to all forms of exploitation and discrimination. We support programs and policies that strive to eliminate oppression based on race, age, sex, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, economic exploitation, physical and mental ability, anti-Semitism, and other such factors. Only through action will we build a world of peace and justice for lesbians, and for society as a whole.
Astraea has an enduring commitment to feminism and is committed to ending anti-semitism. CJ supports Astraea. Keith is well-known for his misogynistic and racist wise-cracks and anti-semitic antics. CJ supports Keith. Ergo, CJ is in a tortured state of existence which makes Keith so appealing to her.
See? Simple.
If you''d like to contribute to the "Meet the OlbyLoons" series let me know.

The last opening spiel of the week, bellowed by the infamous, deplorable one in his best carnival-barker fashion: Obama on the verge but Hillary refuses to quit! McCain and Hagee! [Ding!] Pat Tillman! Satirist Mort Sahl! It's casual Friday at Olbermann Watch.

Wolffe Man is in the house tonight to play Olbersturmfuhrer's stooge. Milbank might show up in some sweet threads much to the delight of Mr. Merlot. Lefty "Analyst" Alter and forever amused Eugene Robinson. Quite a lineup of committed parrots. So called comedian Tompkins and more! I'm already going crazy with anticipation.

The infamous, deplorable Keith Olbermann bellowed the opening spiel: Clinton won't quit, even though it's over! Supporters telling her to quit, because it's over! She should stop her "anti-Obama rhetoric" because it's over! The nightly McCain attack! The nightly attack on Fox Noise! [Ding!] It's hump day at Olbermann Watch, as we once again report on the most biased hour of television in the known 'verse. Do not adjust your set. While CNN and FNC are now airing in high definition, A-Mess-NBC has instead relied on their own in-house technological advancement, something no other news channel can equal, let alone surpass. Yes, The Hour of Spin is coming to you in that new miracle of television: ObamaVision!

I had the sincere pleasure of meeting Mark Levin a couple of weeks ago in DC at the aptly named MRC DisHonor Awards dinner hosted by Brent Bozell. Mark expressed his admiration for the fine work at Olbermann Watch which he reads when he is no
