Although President Bush’s comment about giving up golf was something that should have been kept private and mentioning it foolish, Mr. Keith Olbermann’s (Bathtub boy’s) tirade about this topic on his little watched NSNBC TV show was “beyond the pale” of public commentary and there needs to be some repercussions for this type of journalism. Mr Olbermann demonstrates a deranged mind and fanaticism that is not worthy of public discussion. More significantly, MSNBC was so proud of his tirade that they saw fit to post it on their web site (here)

Here is an exert of Mr. Olbermann’s eloquence:

It is not, Mr. Bush, about your grief when American after American comes home in a box.

It is not, Mr. Bush, about what your addled brain has produced in the way of paranoid delusions of risks that do not exist, ready to be activated if some Democrat, and not your twin Mr. McCain, succeeds you.

The war in Iraq, your war, Mr. Bush, is about how you accomplished the derangement of two nations, and how you helped funnel billions of taxpayer dollars to lascivious and perennially thirsty corporations like Halliburton and Blackwater, and how you sent 4,000 Americans to their deaths for nothing.

It is not, Mr. Bush, about your golf game! And, sir, if you have any hopes that next Jan. 20 will not be celebrated as a day of soul-wrenching, heart-felt thanksgiving, because your faithless stewardship of this presidency will have finally come to a merciful end, this last piece of advice:

When somebody asks you, sir, about Democrats who must now pull this country back from the abyss you have placed us at ...

When somebody asks you, sir, about the cooked books and faked threats you foisted on a sincere and frightened nation …

When somebody asks you, sir, about your gallant, noble, self-abnegating sacrifice of your golf game so as to soothe the families of the war dead.

This advice, Mr. Bush: Shut the hell up!

It is of little consequence to ask others in joining me in boycotting MSNBC, as there are not many that watch this cable channel anyway as it has the same radical rabble watching them that also listens to Air America.

I wonder if this is an example of Senator Obama’s attempt to heal the divide between the right and left?

The man is dead right, you don’t have to like it, but he is telling the truth.
He speaks harshly and its time some talking heads started telling the truth about bush and co.
Shall we say:
1.Torture.
2.Devaluaing the american dollar by 50 per cent or more by now.
3. Hike in debt ceiling to all most 11 trillion dollars.
4. Borrowing all most 2 billion dollars a day from china.
5. the list goes on. Yes, its past time the american public is made aware of just what a crummy job has and is being done by bush and co.

Olbermann’s paid to rant on TV. Mitt Romney said the Democrats wanted to “surrender to terrorism.” Dick Cheney said a vote for the Democrats was a vote for the terrorists. Won’t even bother to pull out quotes from Powerliners.

You guys can dish it out but you can’t take it, can you?

Not to be confused with Pongo.

Anyway, Olberman is a fool.  Relatively few people watch his show (less than a million); and no one really cares what he has to say.

This from Irina Briganti:

“Because of his personal demons, Keith has imploded everywhere he’s worked, from lashing out at co-workers to personally attacking Bill O’Reilly and all things Fox; it’s obvious Keith is a train wreck waiting to happen. And like all train wrecks, people might tune in out of morbid curiosity, but they eventually tune out, as evidenced by Keith’s recent ratings decline. In the meantime, we hope he enjoys his paranoid view from the bottom of the ratings ladder and wish him well on his inevitable trip to oblivion.”

Close to a million people watch Olberman’s show, yet the all-knowing Pongo declares:  “no one really cares what he has to say.” That’s a good one, Pongo!  LOL

Just out of curiosity, who is “Irina Briganti”?

Now that Mr. Olbermann has elevated the civility of political discussion in this country, I guess it will now be ok for some of us to us his costic and vitriolic eloquence on Senator Obama, as sanctioned by Mr’s oldjim and impeachbush. So if we state that Senator Obama is delusiary if he things that he can sit down and WOW Ahmadinejad with his BS I am perfectly withing my rights. Of course Senator Obama has to figure out exactly what his policy is with regard to Iran now that he has changed his stand again and is now claiming the same preconditions as President Bush, but that is another story, or maybe its the case of an addled brain? ....So, if the Great Savior becomes President and messes up the world worse than President Carter, we are well with the standard established by Mr. Olbermann (and oldjim and impeachbush) to label President Obama with equal vitriol. I guess this is the kind of change impeachbush is looking for.

I never watch MSNBC. It is a joke. Only place that runs MSNBC is Microsoft. (CNN gets run because they know enough to pay money and force exclusivity agreements to get run.)

What do your quotes show? The man is deranged. Why is he even on television?

Sounds like the far left’s bumpersticker writers got behind this one of his. Maybe his writers were trying to see how many tired, leftist cliches he could throw into one sentence?

Apparently Keith Olbermann and Bill O’Reilly are now having a contest to see who can shout “NEENER NEENER NEENER!” the loudest. Which is not surprising, but now the top executives of Newscorp and NBC are getting dragged into it, which is really astounding. Why don’t NBC, Fox, and CNN chip in together and use a single logo, “We are fools and we’re going to treat you like fools, too.”
