Just when you thought Keith Olbermann couldn't get any more vile or vulgar . . .
Opening this evening's Countdown, Olbermann said that Rush Limbaugh's observation that Glenn Beck was the result of his success "is like congratulating yourself for spreading syphyllis."
Olbermann made his crude comment in teasing a segment on Rush's interview with NBC's Jamie Gangel. He first played a clip from the interview of Rush saying: "look what I have spawned . . . Glenn Beck is a result of my success."
KEITH OLBERMANN: Geez, that's like congratulating yourself on spreading syphillis.Class all the way, that Keith.

Wow. Careful. If you'd considered those words any more carefully this would be Shakespeare?

Poor Mom,
October 14, 2009 - 09:32 ET by boomerconOlberdufus' mom must be so proud (not). I'm guessing she has by now sunk deeply into depression over the fact that she did not exercise her "right" to abort her idiot son.
memo to mom: it's not too late!
Bill O'Reilly must be crushed.....

And that's our Keith....no class, all A$$

Crickets on Keith
October 13, 2009 - 19:51 ET by acumenYet, while gleefully accepting at face value every made up quote attributed to Rush, not one disparaging word directed towards Olberman from the NFL Union boss.

Uberdork can and will
October 13, 2009 - 20:06 ET by Trix RabbitUberdork can and will become more vile and vulgar. As his ratings plummet, his prurient, scatological, and tiresome tantrums will increase.
I wish I were his parent so I could bitch slap him into next week and personally vote him the worst, most loathesome person of the decade.
I'm sure that Uberdork has his foot-soldiers who peruse (not read, but glance at) NB. Tell him I said to "shut the hell up."

Good grief thumbtack,
October 13, 2009 - 20:08 ET by kangarooGood grief thumbtack, everything you spew is vial, no wonder your ratings are toast. I read that comment that Rush made about paving the way for Glenn, to me that was typical Rush. Rush has no qualms about saying stuff like that. I got a chuckle out of it
Keith Olbermann
October 13, 2009 - 20:19 ET by sarge329I would ask one question. Who IS Keith Olbermann? What are his credentials? What is his journalistic background? Was/is he a journalist, a reporter, a political analyst, or simply a commentator? I'll tell you how memorable Mr. Olbermann is. Up until 3 or 4 years ago, I never even heard of him. I hadn't heard of Mr. Beck until 2 or 3 years ago, either. But, at least, Mr. Beck has a ( some-what twisted ) sense of humor. He has, on more that one occasion, referred to himself as a " rodeo clown " . Does Mr. Olbermann have a sense of humor, or does he take himself too seriously? As the man said, " If you don't think that the Good Lord has a sense of humor, just look in the mirror " .
Sense of Humor
October 13, 2009 - 20:35 ET by tim413I only watch snippets of his 10:00 reruns, but Olberf--ka-s occasionally says something I find funny. I'm certain his followers find much more humor during his hour.
I don't know that much of his history. I know he thinks he is a journalist while he thinks O'Reilly is not. What's with his Edward R. Murrow quote at the end of each show? Does he think he is a journalist from that mold? If so, I am certain Murrow would choke on his cigarette smoke while listening to Oberf--ka-s's name-calling and quotes out of context.
Stop federal judges from foisting their notions of "fairness" on the States. Amend the 14th Amendment! - tim413
Keith the Sports Boy
October 13, 2009 - 23:56 ET by CO2MakerKeith was an anchor commentator for ESPN for a number of year. And he still does an NFL pregame show, IIRC. He graduated from Cornell, but as Ann Coulter points out, he attended the land-grant college, not the ivy-league university which apparently occupies the same real estate in New York. I don't get that part, but Ann has mentioned it several times and apparently that always ticks KTSB off.
Olbie's hilariously funny
October 14, 2009 - 06:08 ET by HockeyKidOlbie's hilariously funny about "Cornell". He was a reasonably successful sportscaster, but apparently decided he had to follow the big bucks into political commentary (just another Rush wannabe like Ed Schultz).
He actually went to New York State College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Cornell University, which has a communications program. It's much easier to get into than Cornell University proper.
Funnier still is Olbie's obsession with being an elite. This from his Wikipedia page:
"Olbermann matriculated at Cornell University at the age of 16, a university he chose after being rejected by Harvard but being offered a full scholarship to Boston University that would have required him to complete liberal arts curriculum before becoming a communications major."
So he tries for credit for being rejected by Harvard, then has to explain why he didn't go to Brown. What a poser!

Was going to say that
October 13, 2009 - 20:30 ET by RR GOPWas going to say that Madcow and Olbermann were similar in this regard, but then I had to pause and evaluate what "success" actually means...?
One of the 34% who thinks George W. Bush was a great President. One of the 86% who wants to bring back the stock and pillory.
I sense a theme
October 13, 2009 - 20:30 ET by katainkentthe MSNBC hosts seem to be running on the theme tonight. A creepy theme.

Jealous
October 13, 2009 - 20:54 ET by Brad90956Olbsession is just jealous. His ratings are in the toilet and his network is in disarray. Nowhere else to go but down. He will become more vile and childish until his program turns into the Jerry Springer Show...which should be about next Tuesday.

October 13, 2009 - 21:44 ET by samhermanmdI saw a blurb today that Rupert Murdoch might be interested in NBC. It would be delightful to watch Olby the Obnoxious sputter as his show is cancelled and he is fired by new management.
I'm Just Wondering
October 13, 2009 - 22:30 ET by DoktorFrankenIf the Olbermann, Shultz, Maddow, and Matthews shows ran back to back and normal people were forced to watch them, how soon would it be before the poor persons' brain exploded while trying to process the huge amounts of stupidity and insanity.
Just wondering.
If Saul Alinsky owned a news channel it would be MSNBC. ---- Me
JMHO, you understand.
Keith the Sports Boy
October 13, 2009 - 23:51 ET by CO2MakerKeith the Sports Boy looks like a middle-level DuPont executive in the carpet-fabric division, and of vaguely indefinite sexual interests. Schultzy looks like the standard lampoon of a televangelist. Maddow looks like Ron Reagan, as I said before. And Chris "Tingleman" Matthews looks a Muppet version of the wide-mouth frog.
Syphillis....
