Olbermann's New Sign-Off Mocks John Boehner & GOP House Takeover
Since Republicans won control of the House of Representatives last week, MSNBC host Keith Olbermann has recited at the end of his Countdown show a new sign-off each night he has hosted noting the number of days since the GOP victory and mocking Speaker-designate John Boehner by sarcastically asking, "Where are the jobs?" At the end of Wednesday’s Countdown, he ended the show: "That's November 10th, seven days since the Republicans took control of the House. Mr. Boehner, where are the jobs? I'm Keith Olbermann. Good night and good luck."
Back in February 2006, Olbermann began mocking President Bush by ending his show with the number of days since Bush’s speech on the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln declaring an end to major combat operations in Iraq - referred to by Olbermann as declaring "mission accomplished." Last May, after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill had lasted more than a month, the MSNBC host temporarily stopped referring to "mission accomplished" in Iraq as he turned his attention to the number of days since the oil spill occurred, but he soon brought back the reference to Iraq and added Afghanistan into the mix. Wednesday, October 20, was the last day Olbermann used this version of the sign off:
That’s October 20th. It’s the 2,729th day since President Bush declared mission accomplished in Iraq, the 2,318th day since he declared victory in Afghanistan, and the 184th day of the Deepwater Horizon disaster in the Gulf. I’m Keith Olbermann, leave a message after the beep. Good night and good luck.
Below are transcripts of each of Olbermann’s sign-off statements since Wednesday, November 3, not including Friday and Monday when he was suspended from his Countdown show on MSNBC:
#From Wednesday, November 3:
That’s November 3rd, one day since Republicans took control of the House. Mr. Boehner, where are the jobs? I’m Keith Olbermann. Good night and good luck.
#From Thursday, November 4:
That’s Thursday, November 4th, two days since Republicans took control of the House. Mr. Boehner, where are the jobs? I’m Keith Olbermann. Good night and good luck.
#From Tuesday, November 9:
That’s November 9th, seven days since the Republicans took control of the House. Mr. Boehner, where are the jobs? I’m Keith Olbermann. Good night and good luck.
#From Wednesday, November 10:
That’s November 10th, eight days since the Republicans took control of the House. Mr. Boehner, where are the jobs? I’m Keith Olbermann. Good night and good luck.

Really?
Submitted by Phryj1 on Thu, 11/11/2010 - 4:54am.
I mean, I can't say I'm surprised by this, it IS Olbermoron we're talking about. But really, this is like a whole new level of idiot for him. He's actually criticizing the GOP for a lack of results WHEN THEY HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN SWORN IN! Just when you think he couldn't possibly get any lower, he pulls this. Never underestimate the sheer raging stupidity of this man.
Progressives seem to be completely averse to facts and logic. Apparently, reality has a conservative bias.
Blame Pelosi
Submitted by Cactus Kurt on Thu, 11/11/2010 - 9:33am.
Um, last time I checked the Democrats still had control of the House, Senate, and oh yeah, the Presidency. Using Olbermoronn's convoluted logic, Nancy Pelosi is solely responsible for 10% unemployment.
Have a nice day!

Mr. Boehner, where are the jobs? I'm Keith Olbermann. Good night and good luck.
Thats a good question Keef.
I don't know where the jobs at, however after we start the 112 Congress (January 3, 2011 ) we intend to hold manyyyyyyy investigations to determine just where did that trillion dollars to “create jobs” go?
Glade to see you on board for the investigations!
Have a nice day!

By the way, the new Congress hasn't even been swown in, while Pres. Obama's been at it for almost two years and it's still 'Bush's fault.' So make up your mind (oh wait...you don't have one, do you Keith?)
Hey Keith, how many days is this??

Hey Keith, Heres' your next signoff:
XXXX days since Presidential nominee Barack Obama declared that it was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal; this was the moment when we ended a war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last, best hope on earth.
Where are the jobs, SIR???
Where is the healing, SIR???

One suggestion.
Can we stop covering every twitch of MSLSD? Honestly, nobody but the staff here watches them. Sure cover stuff that actually matters, but they don't anymore. Their own communist hooker friends are chastizing them for not even pretending to be a news organization.
All they are is a gay biker club trying to find the next public place to have anal intercourse. It's of no consequence. There are other network's and subject matter that could use your attention.
There's lots of other pretty important stuff going on right now. Like a 800 Billion dollar inflation bomb from the Fed, Communists tearing apart Britain. And Obama apologizing for America and praising it's decline in the World in his home Country of Indonesia.
What those fat fairies had for breakfast while masterbating to islamo-commi midget fisting porn is of no concern to me. I'm just asking for some more substantial news to be covered from other outlets that aren't completely discredited.

Well, Thoreau, there are always going to be things covered here that some deem trivial and things left out that some think amazingly important.

There is, however, a simple solution, if you want to be the arbiter of what gets covered, and what doesn't:
1. Bring them up in an Open Thread
2. Start your own blog.

new meaning to the word
Submitted by jon_torlin on Thu, 11/11/2010 - 10:16am.
Looks like there's a new meaning to the word "indefinitely" as in suspended indefinitely.
In normal speak, it means they are fired. In lib-speak or msnbc speak, it means "we're definitely not going to fire you, you are definitely not gone, you are definitely taking a long weekend off."
How definitely lame.

As you well know..............a LOT of words have been redefined lately to accomodate various situations. We've got new meanings for 'smart', 'intellingent', 'meaningful', 'fashionable', 'classy', and a whole host of other adjectives that would have NEVER worked in the context that they are being used now if they HADN'T been 'recalibrated'.......................so we can add 'indefinitly' to the list too.
And one word and concept that has basically been banned: 'common sense'......................... where'e Thomas Paine when we need him???

As usual the facts don't get in the way of this guy, because Pelosi is still Speaker of the House. Boehner won't be in power for another month. But hey, since Obama isn't held responsible for his current leadership, may as well make Republicans responsible for their future leadership now.
This is bizzaro world.

…should serve as clear evidence that making shallow, sophomoric snark your stock and trade is not exactly a prescription for broad popular appeal.
This guy survives in the same sense carnival barkers survive. There are always a handful of clueless suckers out there.
Difference is the barker only wants to take you for twenty bucks; Olby on the other hand is messing with your mind. (Or what passes for a mind.)
If I had to sit down for a beer with one or the other, I’d choose the barker.

It's November 11th, Veteran's Day. Nine days from November 2nd when you helped create a combined 67 new jobs for Republicans in the House and Senate and 7 Republican governors. There are the jobs Mr. Olbermann. We thank you for your efforts in getting out the vote.
Good night and onward to 2012!

This clown gets paid around 7 million (so I read) a year to read cue cards written by their interns and bloggers?
I doubt that if the government took over their industry, him and the likes of Ms. Kouric, Mika (can't pronounce her last name), little Joe, etc., would be crying because they would not be able to afford living the way they do now.
As much as they critize the conservatives and the Repubs, you don't hear them complaining about how Capitalism has allowed them to live the high life. Liberals like to spend other people's money, never theirs.
I am assuming that MesSNBC has a good "Work, Life, Balance program" in their healthcare benefits. Their bubble heads (Rachel, Eddie, Larry, KO and Chrissy) are always angry, complaining about everything and everyone. They must either be on heavy duty sedatives or some kind of alcohol induced coma to spew so much anger when they are on. Good grief!!
A good question.

I would love it if someone would ask him if he's stupid or dishonesr or just both. Really he has to be one of the two (or a combo). Obviously he should know when the congressional sessions start so he is flat out dishonest.
Keith Olbermann is wrong.
