Both "no" answers are

Both "no" answers are exceptable and the only correct answers.

Ten years ago he had a chance to be a mainstream force, but that horse left the barn a long time ago.

I vote for the missing answer #4: who cares?

Someone, somewhere a long

Someone, somewhere a long while ago decided Keith wasn't even good enough to be background noise on a sport's telecast, that is until NBC decided this past season to bring him into thier NFL telecast's and perhap's invigorate thier paltry returns over at MSNBC. 

Kieth will never capture the American zietgeist. Most liberal's aren't even as angry or hate America as much as Kieth does. It must be hard work to peruse the pages and kiss the butt's of Kos and then recycle them into a telecast every evening within the confines of an eggcarton lined leftist echo chamber, all the while calling yourself a "real journalist".

Which lead's me to wonder who the hell over at NBC does Kieth have photo's or tape of in a compromising position. Up until last Oct., I thought it was Abram's.

This guy is the journalistic equivalent of an Edsel or a Ford Pinto.

I said 'yes' only because,

I said 'yes' only because, to the Lefty Media, the extreme Left is 'mainstream.'

It's Been Done Before

NBC succeeded in making Katie Couric "mainstream". KO & Katie are both journalistic lightweights. KO says everything Katie believes. She just couldn't spew it from her Today Show position. But even if their politics are the same, Katie seems a lot more cuddly.

No...He is too crazy. But, generally speaking...

the majority of Olbertwit's views already are mainstream, from the viewpoint of most of the rest of the MSM. Most of the media agree with his views. The difference is in their (MSM) delivery. Most of his comrades in the leftist media, manage to deliver their version of the news with a false veneer of credibility. In Olbermann's case however, he is so over the top in his rantings most of the time, that he torpedoes himself everytime he opens his mouth.

Turn Him Off

They will try to mainstream this lefty kook, but we just need to turn the channel like I did whenever that blimp-headed buffoon wrecked the NFL halftime show with Costas.

They even made his segment a stand-alone rant, since that fits his style.

They are so desperate for their own "John Stewart" type, they will give him every opportunity to make his version of commentary (foaming at the mouth type) work.

No because he is an idiot.

 

 

 

Count Out

I could never figure out how they make his head so much bigger than everyones else. It is very difficult to watch his big head but it is the apparent beta carnitine shots to the face that truely repulses. The whole thing is a freak show even before one gets to his utterances. Real people won't or can't watch this.

Tokyo Rose on steroids

Daily script:

Attack and tell lies about evil Bush.

Attack and tell lies about evil neo-cons.

(The buffoon doesn't even realize that neo-cons are liberals who quit the democratic party because of people like him.)

Attack Bill OReilly - who regularly trounces Heir Olber by about 3:1.

Repeat.

They won't succeed in

They won't succeed in making him mainstream, even though they try with every possible shot they can take, even though the ratings will say different...they will still claim he is mainstream, he leading the way in believing this himself...ahhh...nothing like delusions of grandeur...eh Keithie?

 Was Japan, Germany or Iraq succesful when they had Tokyo Rose, Axis Sally, Lord Haw Haw and Baghdad Bob spewing thier talking point's ?

I dont' think NBC cares whether they succeed or not. Keith will be on anyway.

give me a break

Keith Olbermann? Mainstream? And I suppose Howard Stern is going to be producing for Noggin.

Olbermann?

The only reason anyone knows Olby exists is because he gets talked about on sites like this, his audience is smaller than the crowd at a Florida Marlins baseball game.

Florida Marlins.

That's funny as h_ll.

No

No. Olbermann's too much of a crazy idiot to ever be mainstream. Just ask Rosie O'Donnell. She ought to know about being crazy and stupid.

For what it's worth

Olbermann has become a regular diarist at DailyKos and has just posted a diary there about his special:

Old news lumpy

We've known for some time he is a diarrhist.

Diarrhist or Diarrhea-ist, just wondering

You know on the KOS it is so similar..

Scott

Both spellings are correct with identical meanings.

flammable = inflammable (go figure)

regardless = irregardless (though I don't know why)

♣ a seal

Yes

The MSM could care less what conservatives think. They will continue to try to ram thier ideology down our throats if it kills them!

Keith- A little More Ice & a Little More Mixer

I don't know what's in the Kool-Aid that KO is drinking but he is definitely not OK.

Choice #4 please...

He will remain "official mainstream" until after the elections.
