Reason No. 791 why Keith Olbermann rocks

[Trouser_Buddah]

Bravo, Zeke. Bravo.

 

[Ben_Hecht]

I love that asshole O'Reilly persists in participating in those laughable "truth/facts" ads . . .

KO long ago exposed that sordid act, time and again.

Bravo, Zeke. Bravo.

I'm here all week. Try the veal, I hear it's to die for...

Loofah-boy? Thought he was Falafel-boy.

 

[writing irish]

He has many titles.

O'Assclown's calling his show the "No-Spin Zone" is kind of like calling the Lourve the "No-Art Zone."

 

[patchs]

Neidermeyer. DEAD!
God I miss KO doing NHL highlights.
I wish MSNBC would let him do 5 minutes of sports a night.

I've always enjoyed Olbermann as a broadcaster. SportsCenter reached its peak (and has been on a steady decline since) with Olbermann and Patrick's "Big Show."

Countdown is pretty good stuff... and Olbermann's constant calling-count of O'Reilly and Fox News is entertaining.

Olbermann and Countdown is a welcome alternative to the sea of conservative commentators that dominate cable news.

I just wish Olbermann would do more of his "Special Comments" at the end of the show. Usually pretty thought-provoking stuff.

The fair and balanced NY Post chimes in on KO's contract negotiations:

KEITH Olbermann needs a king-size reality check. The obnoxious MSNBC gabber is trying to squeeze a whopping 400 percent raise out of his cash-strapped network. Broadcasting & Cable reports the liberal loudmouth - known for his unsatisfying one-night stand with a female fan who later blogged about his disappointing bedroom performance - wants to increase his annual $1 million salary to "north of $4 million." But insiders say hell will freeze over before he gets even half that much, considering that NBC Universal is making massive budget cuts to the tune of $750 million. The popular Olbermann Watch Web site, which keeps tabs on the bombastic blabber, is also skeptical. "There's no way [he'll] get $4 million . . . but by asking for that, when the network counteroffers in the $1.5 million range, he'll take it and the network will think it won," said blogger Fred Bear. He continued, " 'Countdown with Keith Olbermann' enjoys a minuscule audience of 469,000, compared to 2.1 million viewers for Fox News' Bill O'Reilly, and a big fat raise is even more doubtful." MSNBC and Olbermann had no comment.

Last night, Countdown had an hour show made up of the Special Comments. I think that it is being replayed later this week.

If you didn't already, set the DVR for the Special Comments show.

It's worth it.

'Countdown with Keith Olbermann' enjoys a minuscule audience of 469,000, compared to 2.1 million viewers for Fox News' Bill O'Reilly, and a big fat raise is even more doubtful."

It seems that there are 2.1 million retarded people who do not how to change the channel on their TV sets.

I don't recall Cavett or Snyder being as hysterical as Olbermann.

 

[cranberry]

Shrewd, too.
There was an audience, a growing audience, for some kind of progressive voice on the cable chat shows, and he's grabbed it and run.

Once upon a time (1982) there was a show called "NBC News Overnight" with Linda Elerbee and Lloyd Dobbins that I considered pretty progressive for its time. It was extremely well written, too. It didn't last terribly long, though.

 

[dixiehack]

Keith O. is as relevant as that Chinese Democracy album.

Your avatar has been torn out, sir.

Neither one was dealing with a feckless legacy Deke with blood up to his elbows.

Hysterical? No. Witty? Yes
