At the same time NBC's Brian Williams and Andrea Mitchell were drinking and snacking at a D.C. event hosted by Fox News honoring Brit Hume’s career on Thursday night, Keith Olbermann was busy insulting and demeaning him.
Olbermann couldn’t stand the idea that anyone would claim that the New Deal failed to end the Depression: "Also, did you know everybody now agrees the New Deal failed, everybody. Apparently, Brit Hume held a vote. It was unanimous, FDR sucked, ahead in Worst Persons." Hume came in third in that night's Worst Person in the World contest:
The bronze to Brit Hume of Fox Noise, now in the rewriting history department over there. "Everybody agrees, I think, on both sides of the spectrum now that the New Deal failed. The debate is over why it failed." Sure. Everybody, except the most recent Nobel Prize laureate in economics, Paul Krugman, who just wrote that the New Deal`s long term achievements remain the bedrock of our nation`s economic stability, and except for probably a majority of economists, economic professors. But Brit Hume agrees with Brit Hume. That will show that damn Roosevelt.
How Olbermannic. Hume was bested in the "Worser" and "Worst categories," predictably, by blogger/columnist Michelle Malkin and Keith’s favorite obsession, Bill O’Reilly.

Bedrock of economic stability? If the economy is so stable why is Obama proposing to spend 2 trillion dollars to prop it up? Who's the dope here? Oh, wait, they all three are.

That's all Keith needed to know.
As if a Nobel Prize means anything any more.
Poor Keith has his Jockeys in a wad because Brit Hume is respected and was being honored by other journalists, which Keith knows he himself will never be.
Have you noticed...
January 11, 2009 - 11:17 ET by StarAZI like how Krugman tosses his Nobel in the door first to test the waters (OK, mixed metaphor) and then blabs about whatever--economics, racism, globalization...See me, I have a thing saying I am smart.

Nobel Prize huh?
January 11, 2009 - 15:32 ET by bpjamOlbermann doesn't even know WHY Krugman got the prize (not that it was exactly deserved).
Krugman didn't get a Nobel for anything having to do with FDR-era or Keynes policies. His 'prize' was on benefits of trade (shhh, don't tell the Left).
Krugman was actually awarded a prize because he is the most outrageous Bush hater in the field of economics (even though he really hasn't been in the field for quite a while now). People in Norway like their Bush hating as much as guys at at MSNBC.
Since Al Gore won a Nobel, I figure it can't go any

January 11, 2009 - 08:38 ET by BourbeauIt seems to me, if we all just ignore Keith Olbermann and whatever manure he is dishing out on his despicable show, he'll eventually go away. It's been weeks since I've heard anything about his nightly nonsense and quite frankly, don't miss it. People like him gain notoriety simply because other people respond to his stupidity. Ignore him; make it a New Years Resolution - NO MORE ATTENTION TO KEITH OLBERMANN.

January 11, 2009 - 10:43 ET by Dave DWhy yes, there is quite a bit of debate amongst economists on whether or not the New Deal prolonged the depression
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_deal#Conflicting_interpretation_of_the_New_Deal_economic_policies
About 50% say yes or yes with provisions and 50% say no. (So it's hardly a settled question that Keith thinks it is.) Oh wait, if one lib economist says it's true then we don't need to check any further. Oh well, drive through.
It's a common theme...
January 11, 2009 - 11:40 ET by Tom1969caSo a liberal finds one "expert" to support their point of view, and they cry, "The debate is over! The consensus is in! The evidence is settled!"
Where have I heard that before? No, no, don't help me; I know I can remember...

January 11, 2009 - 11:29 ET by RR GOPI always thought Hume was rather dry and serious-but at the same time I recognized that he was a true journalist and I suppose we've been conditioned to believe our news should come from over-opinionated entertainer-types like Matthews, Olbermann, O'Reilly, Hannity, etc.
Hume is a class act.
How Olbermunch manages to stay on the air is something that eludes me.
The Great Depression..."If only it hadn't been for that damn world war, Roosevelt would still be alive and we'd all be millionaires!"
Obviously the war stimulated the kind of economic growth that FDR and Congress were suspicious of. Of course, these guys never wanted for anything themselves. I think the idea of average Americans becoming successful scared them as FDR and many of the others seem to have been pompous, classist jackasses. Impressed by the large crowds of the Socialist demigods they saw the easy path to votes.
What's also sad is that they bought into the Socialist ideology (oh, not the national kind, that was just so wrong) but the Marxist brand that the "intellectuals" in the universities, the actors, the musicians, the singers and the writers etc. embraced. One big circle jerk of Leftists.
One of the 24% who thinks George W. Bush was a great President. One of the 89% who wants to bring back the stock and pillory.
Vendetta, thy name is Olbermann
January 11, 2009 - 11:50 ET by mizflame98Let's look at Olbermouse's career and all the people he reports on up close.
1) He bashes FOX news all the time (he was fired from FOX Sports for reporting rumors about Mr. Murdoch)
2) He bashes Laura Ingram (He use to date her and she probably dumped him.)
3) He bashes ESPN (he was fired from ESPN)
3) He bashes O'Reilly (Who works for FOX)
Even while working at MSNBC he whines about his job. He's burned so many bridges in the TV industry that no one else will take him. He's a miserable whiney, skunk that is not worth reporting on.

Keith Olbermann and NBC
January 11, 2009 - 11:57 ET by charlietexasThanks to Newsbusters, I can now confidently completely boycott NBC, I mean the whole of NBC, and rely on Newsbusters to report the silliness of that station. I don't miss it, really. None of it. Not Leno, not football, nothing. I hope they go away. The peacock is DEAD.
From the horse's mouth...
January 11, 2009 - 12:07 ET by Tom1969caIf you want an honest assessment of the benefit (if any) of The New Deal, let's look at what Henry Morgenthau, Secretary of the Treasury during the FDR Administration, wrote in May 1939:
This is one of FDR's own Cabinet, one of the people charged with implementing The New Deal and selling it to the American people. If he couldn't swallow it, why should anyone else?
Maybe that settles the debate - the fact that at least one FDR's own key people didn't think The New Deal did any good!

January 11, 2009 - 12:40 ET by JIMMY1660as most of the old school journalists spew hatred of the conservative majority, it is back firing. most of who read these hate mongers, are turned off and find other forms of media to get informed. so, newspapers are dying and folks like Olbera$$ struggle to be taken seriously. i like some whom have written, do not watch NBC products, no football, no golf, no support of advertisers.it may not dent NBC, but i feel great.
i listen today as some Dem expert blamed GWB of the economy problems. no mention of frank raines,barney frank or chris dodd. no mention of having banks circumvent banking rules to allow bad risk loans. Once GWB leaves office , how long before the Dems stop and hang Barney, Frank, and Chris.

Democrats thrive on sociopaths like Herr Olbermann
January 11, 2009 - 13:17 ET by j17ghsI wonder if Olbermann remembers his previous lives burning "defectives" in the ovens of the Third Reich or when he burned Catholics and crosses as a Klan member?

January 11, 2009 - 14:27 ET by rammingspeedThe Nobel prize has become nothing more than one jerkwad giving an award to another jerkwad for being - ta da! - a jerkwad.
Add Marxist to Paul Krugman's resume and you have a perfect hero for Herr Olbermann. Followed, of course, by mindless drivel and a worser person award, or something like that.
Olbermann has zero credibility, and everyone, even liberals, knows it.

FRD failed in solving the depression. It lasted 6 years longer than necessary because on inconsistent gold policy, trade barriers and restrictive monetary policy. Depression ended only by WWII, a flattening the world's industrial outut, leaving US as only nation who could efficiently produce goods. So we exploded and did not look back until government again got into wage and price controls, restrictive energy policies and high taxes.
Only achievment was the SEC and FDIC, which were not insignificant, but they don't create jobs. Which is what this upcoming adminstration does not understand.
