Mainstream news anchors covering the Democratic National Convention are getting more impatient by the day as the McCain campaign broadcasts ads using Hillary Clinton's own words against Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama.
MSNBC anchorman Keith Olbermann was visibly annoyed not only with the Democrats' lack of counter-punches to the McCain campaign but also angry at the McCain campaign for "stealing" Hillary Clinton's primary campaign ads for the GOP senator's current ad campaign.
Olbermann asked former Clinton press secretary Dee Dee Myers: "Dee Dee, whose mission is it...when does it happpen? When does somebody get mad at John McCain for stealing Hillary Clinton's ad and putting his name at the end of it, which is among other things the least creative thing we have seen on this campaign. When do Democrats get angry and take advantage of the free TV time?"
With such impatience and anger coming from Olbermann, the Democrats may only need to harness some of his current emotions to get the Democrats fired up. Perhaps the McCain ads weren't so uncreative after all.

Alert:
August 27, 2008 - 15:03 ET by lumpyKO has just posted a diary at DailyKos wherein he bashes the Post and Murdoch. Other posters in his diary are slamming KO's co-workers and he doesn't counter.
He's engaging not only in conflict of interest but he's letting his colleagues get bashed. The guy's riding for a fall. Wonder if the msm will pick up on this.

Thanks for the link...while I couldn't stand to read all of Olbie's rabid whining...I read quite a lot of the comments..and I will be danged, of the ones I did read, there were actually some that criticized Olbie and Matthews on their coverage.
I was surprised.

He's showing symptoms -
August 27, 2008 - 15:15 ET by XBOLTSObviously, Keith has gone off his medication. Look for a total breakdown on Nov. 5th (if not before).
Olbermann reflects the attitude of his audience and the "new" Democrat Party of ultra-left kooks, obnoxious and totally without class.
Good strategy
August 27, 2008 - 15:12 ET by 911isbusyMcCain did the same back when he was running against Huckabee in the primary. He used Huckabee's own words of praise for McCain to defeat Huckabee in a few states. The other day I saw a pro-McCain ad where Biden says Obama doesn't have the experience to be president - the question was posed by George Stephanopoulos in a debate where Biden is standing right next to Obama. Whoever does the ads for McCain has a consistent theme going. Seems to be working.
Olberman and Dee Dee Myers. LOL. Olberman is bad enough, but Dee Dee Myers likes to resort to playground type tactics whenever she get stumped by a question coming from a conservative. Come to think of it, Olberman lives in a playground all day long.

And oh, Keith, are we awarding points for "creativity" now?
There is no need to be "creative" when you have someone's words in their own voice.
amen, and if no one else is
August 27, 2008 - 15:26 ET by TruthMongeramen, and if no one else is doing it - that makes it pretty damn creative

For not being so creative
August 27, 2008 - 15:17 ET by bigtimerFor not being so creative they sure are creating a lot of free air time from you Keithy...plus creating a lot of anger Bath-tub Boy....you must calm yourself...we want you to stay around long enough to watch you get your walking papers...
...or the men in little white coats come to take you away first.
Now soak in a tub of bubbly bath warm water and play with your rubber ducky...and please be sure and calm your nerves with a glass of warm milk and vinegar...be sure to have sweet dreams of Hillary while you're at it...because you are going to be sorry you didn't support her after-all...McCain is going to be your worst nightmare...hahahaaaa

August 27, 2008 - 15:19 ET by danybhoy= NOTICE TO ALL CONSERVATIVE MEDIA & THE GOP=
If it pisses off Keith Olbermann, or BathTubBoy as we like to call him here, DO IT, DO IT, DO MORE OF IT.
SAY THINGS THAT PISS OLBERMANN OFF.
DO THINGS THAT PISS HIM OFF.
RUN ADS THAT PISS HIM OFF.
BathTubBoy is a great meter to see if what you are saying or doing is right or wrong. If he is upset by what you are doing, do more of that X 10.
DO WHATEVER MAKES HIM MAD, & DO MORE OF IT.
MORE, MORE, MORE.

Hypocrite, Leftoid morons
August 27, 2008 - 15:29 ET by mattmHypocrite, Leftoid morons like Olbermental were pissed off at Bush I for stealing Algore Jr.'s Willie Horton ad as well. They hate it when their own tactics are used against them. : )
When is this demented pinhead going to get the mental health treatment he so desperately needs?
