I don't track Keith Olbermann's descents into mean-spirited bad taste systematically enough to definitively proclaim that he has charted a new low. Let's just say that he has once again indulged his proclivity to traffic for political purposes in the worst of ill-will.
Readers will recall during that during the 2004 presidential campaign, both members of the Dem ticket went clumsily out of their way to alert voters to the fact that Dick and Lynne Cheney have a gay daughter, Mary. In that same mean spirit, on tonight's Countdown Olbermann acidly observed: "the Vice-President is about to become a grandfather for the sixth time. Daughter Mary having a baby with her partner. You have to wonder if that is in the Christmas card for the conservative base."
The program later aired what might have been a straightforward news story about the coming baby. But Olbermann couldn't resist, in segueing to the next segment, taking a parting shot at the Cheneys as a "dysfunctional family that doesn't live by its own rules."
Merry Christmas to you too, Keith.

Olbermann's latest-low ping to Today show list.
MSNBC needs to change their name from MSNBC to HSAL (Hate Speech and Lies). The entire channel is beyond disgusting. The Olberidiot is trash, pure trash.
No class. He sounds like the typical person whose temperament is marred by being "soft around the edges." Hence, the vitriol and vindictive. Like an adolescent girl.
Olbermann's a punk. Do those Christmas cards even mention the offspring, or just Dick and Lynne?
So it's OK for liberals to gay bash...
Why would this upset anybody at this site: there are at least two threads saying the very same thing right on this forum.
Off the ping list please.
Olbermann is such a BOOOB!
He's a nut. A sick nut.
Nothing could be worse than the face of that sanctimonius
dufus! I thought he was going away to cnbc where he will get even lower viewership than he already has!
Keith "The Moron" Olbermann is just one big bundle of tolerance, love and sensitivity isn't he? Typical Commie liberal.
Maybe Keith is just jealous that he and his partner can't have a baby.
Now that the Rats are back in Congress, MSNBC may want to tone it down a bit. He is on the Air America trajectory.
Is he gay, too?
On the first day of Christmas my lesbian lover gave to me, a baby in a pear tree......
That picture is hilarious!! What a DORK. I will pull up the pic whenever I need a good laugh. Thanks!
I know you're out there somewhere.
who knows (snicker)....http://www.nypost.com/seven/10092006/gossip/pagesix/pagesix.htm
I don't think enough people watch that A hole to worry about it.
I don't know. The only sure thing I know about Olbermann is that he is a first class a$$h*l*.
I agree. However, I recall the comments made here on FR when news broke of Rev. Jesse Jackson having an illegitimate child. Seems there is a bit of a double standard.
Bottomfeeder.
Olbermann's just another media-enabled proto-fascist. Too bad his mommy made the wrong "choice."
Will he mention a certain VERY FAMOUS NETWORK NEWS ANCHOR'S very gay, very dykie daughter?
You must mean Robin Rather.
What point does this asswipe think he's making? The Cheneys acknowledge their daughter's a lesbian, and there's nothing but affection between the three of them. Only a liberal idiot would scoff at this.
He doesn't even attempt to feign objectivity.
He's a putz. Should have stuck to sports.
I've seen worse than Olberman on FR today.
Compared to what?
The "Holiday Card" of an aborted fetus from the leftist base?
yeh, not to mention that ass in the background that laughs at all his smarmy girly-boy putdowns.
I despise that arrogant sack of pus.
bttt
KEITH GETS LOW RATINGS IN BED
October 9, 2006 -- A BROWN-haired beauty who claims she had an unsatisfying one-night stand with Keith Olbermann is getting her sweet revenge - she's launched a blog to warn other women about the acerbic MSNBC commentator's boorish bedroom habits.
The bitter babe, who calls herself KarmaBites1, says she doesn't want others "to fall into the same trap . . . and I want him to feel some remorse for what he's done . . . He sets his mind on a woman, lures her in, and once he gets what he wants, he refuses to ever speak to them again. And I don't think he understands the damage he's caused." New York Post--Page Six
Sportscaster Keith.
If your father is Vice President and you "have a baby" with your lesbian partner
Of course, she's NOT having a baby with her lesbian partner, since that is impossible... She is having a baby with someone else, or her "partner" is, but THEY aren't.
When this turd creeps on to Dan Patrick's ESPN radio show... I immediately change the station. Too bad, I really like what Patrick has to offer up via the air waves.
Awwwww, he has a rubbery bulb just like his daddy.....
I agree with you, which is why I used quotes around "having a baby". My point is that Mary Cheney is choosing to be an out-of-the-closet lesbian and choosing to have an out of wedlock baby. Therefore, however much of a jerk Olberman may be, freepers' criticism should be directed at Mary Cheney, rather than at at Olberman. I think because freepers like Dick and Lynne Cheney so much -- as do I -- that they are more muted in their criticism of Mary Cheney than they would be of she were the daughter of lefties. The fact that what Mary Cheney is doing is appalling. (And, no, I'm not blaming Dick and Lynne Cheney for their daughter's behavior.)
In that photo he reminds me of kids I knew in high school.
This man ought to be taken off the television. He is another example of the decay of this nation.
****
The socialist/Marxist/liberal media is the most destructive, relentless, and ruthless enemy of this Republic.

A very poor comparison.
Comparisons seldom shed any light, ......... yours certainly didn't.
“In that same mean spirit, on tonight's Countdown Olbermann acidly observed: ............................... You have to wonder if that is in the Christmas card for the conservative base."
I’m just asking you, so please take this in the right light .........
Your headline reads: Olbermann's Latest Low: Will Cheney Christmas Card Mention Daughter Mary's Child?
Not to defend Olbermann who is scum personified, but what does what Olbermann said, “the Christmas card for the conservative base” have to do with a CHENEY FAMILY Christmas card?
I’ve forever thought that the major weakness of Newsmax.com is their tendency to write very misleading article titles. Do you not think that your title here is more than just a little misleading? It seems to me that Olbermann said nothing about a Cheney Christmas card. Did he?
Simply, Mark. That is a bogus title of yours.
Olbermann's a major league sleazoid, his mother most likely never even liked him, but he said nothing about a Cheney family Christmas card.
Let's not do what the left does with sensational and misleading headlines.
