Gandhi . . . King . . . Mandela . . . Solzhenitsyn . . . Olbermann . . . OLBERMANN?? Wha-aa?? Yes, Keith Olbermann, the Wussiest Person in the World, is ready to join the ranks of heroic dissidents of the past in going to JAIL for his beliefs! I can just see his future memoirs: "The Long Island Archipelago." "Letters from a Bridgehampton Jail." KO's life and career will become the stuff of legend. Movies will be made: "Inflictus." "The Golf Shank Reduction." Ben Affleck will find work again. Songs will be written: "We shall Olbermann someday." "Let there be Keith on earth."
What has brought on Olbermann's impassioned imprisonment KOurage? Last night on his wildly popular "KOuntdown" program, with an audience literally in the tens of hundreds, KO KO'd BO over the proposed Mutual of Obama mandatory health insurance bill. In his "Special KOmment," Keith railed and ranted to new heights of belligerent bloviation, closing with this pugnacious pledge:
I hereby pledge that I will not buy this perversion of health care reform. Pass this at your peril, Senators, and sign it at yours, Mr. President. I will not buy this insurance. Brand me a lawbreaker if you choose. Fine me if you will. Jail me if you must.
Is KO bucking for a Kewpie Doll here, having a brief moment of mental clarity? Not exactly. He opposes the bill for different reasons than we do. He thinks it's not KOmmunist enough!
"Pass this at your peril." "Jail me if you must." Them's fightin' words, and so if Keith Olbermann is going to jail, the DUmmies are ready to join him! A host of KO-KOnspirators are shouting "I am Olbermann!" "If they come for Keith, they come for me!"
So Keithie is the Darling of the Day in DUmmieland. You can read about it in a bunch of threads, like this THREAD, "Olbermann's Special Comment was AMAZING!" and this THREAD, "I stand with Keith O. I will not...actually cannot afford to..." and this THREAD, "Keith Olbermann says he'll go to jail before being forced to buy health insurance and" and this THREAD, "I'm going to jail, who's with me?".
The DUmmie KOmments are in Bolshevik Red, while the KOmmentary of your humble guest KOrrespondent, Charles Henrickson, is in the [brackets]:
Olbermann's Special Comment was AMAZING!
[Olbermann's Special KOmment was AMUSING!]
He not only hit it out of the ball park but the east coast to west coast.
[He parked it! From KOast to KOast!]
I love that he says he will refuse to be forced to buy into this bondage and protection money for health care. He said he will go to jail first.
[ATTICA!]
Olbermann's job is to get TV ratings. . . . Don't take Olbermann's rants too seriously.
["Rantings for Ratings." It's not working.]
You are tombstoned, troll, so STFU
[You are THE WORST LOUSY FREEPER TROLL IN THE WORLD!]
Keith is wrong on this. He's wrong on Obama. He's on the wrong side for healthcare reform, which can be amended as opposed to killed to be buried. He can go off in his life of privilege and wink at those who can't get any coverage and think he's a folksy Murrowesque hero. He won't see them spit blood as he walks by to get into his limo.
[But it's a limo to Leavenworth!]
KO takes the subway, for one thing.
[The Underground Railroad! Dissidents on the run!]
he is obviously making many people very nervous speaking truth to power.
["Speaking truth to power"! Take a drink, if you're playing at home!]
Thank you Keith, it was hard to listen to, but you're a better man than oh so many others in Congress!!!
[Keith Übermann.]
I stand with Keith O.
[I am Olbermann!]
Jail ain't nothing to me. Hell, I'll get some health care there.
[Is that you, Otis Campbell?]
KO will go to jail? Now that's funny.
[It could be a sit-KOm, "Olbie's Heroes," with Chris Dodd as Sgt. Schultz, Harry Reid as Col. Klink, and the aforementioned Ben Affleck, of course, as Olbie.]
Sure he won't go to jail for that. He could go to jail in the future for inciting rebellion or whatever fascist overlords accuse people who dissent from them in thought.
["Fascist overlords"! Drink up! The irony, of course, is that it's the DEMOCRATS that would be the fascist overlords!]
"keith olbermann" is a f***ing corporation. you do get that right? right?
[KOco.]
the stupidity here is overwhelming sometimes. . . .
[KOOkoo.]
I'm going to jail, who's with me?
[Field trip!]
I will happily go to jail. There I will get a roof over my head, three meals a day, something constructive to do and I'll get free health care. All provided by the state. Do the math, it's not a bad deal.
[Like Mom's basement, only better!]
I'll try to stay out of prison myself, thanks.
[Is that you, Blago?]
Hope you can believe in...Maybe you can be on his Change Gang too.
["Change Gang." I sense a parody coming on. Maybe later this week.]
I can't go to jail because they'll put my animals down.
["Putdown," hosted by DUmmie EFerrari.]
I'll just have to go on the lam.
[The horse would be faster.]
We'll start an outlaw commune. All we need is an old school bus.
[The Olbermannson Family.]
Can we grow food there and cultivate some livestock?
[benburch is especially interested in cultivating the livestock.]
Extra cows and goats for making cheese for sale. Sell excess garden harvest. Lots creative and talented people here with skills to manufacture goods and provide services.
[There would be no shocking memories, and the prevailing emotion will be one of nostalgia for those left behind, combined with a spirit of bold curiosity for the adventure ahead!]
We can start a website, Uninsured Underground
["The UUmies"? "Double U"? No, that one wouldn't work, fer sure. . . .]
The ultimate unfunded mandate. Unfunded, coercive, creating a new criminal class. Hope and change!
[Hope and chains! You win today's Kewpie Doll!]
I'm too pretty to go to jail
[Don't worry, ben, it'll be FUn!]
idiots.
#23 twice in a row! Ooorah!
Translation:
But...but...
It’s supposed to be FREEEEEE!!
I thought they were supposed to make the pubbies pay for it.
[Like Mom’s basement, only better!]
That one got me!
One for the bookmarks!
I'd prefer they go to hell, but jail is a start.
Oh, you’ve surpassed yourself with this one, pastor. This was hilarious. Thanks!
The DUmmie Dream, all in one short paragraph. It's what they long for, folks.
“Wait, so the DU Dummies are saying they are willing to go to jail.”
My first choice would be shooting them on the spot..because I’m intolerant for terrorist (which they are)...but since I can’t do that legally (until someone grows a pair and declares war), jail will suffice...
Wake me up when the shooting starts.. I’ll be twittering about amerkian idle like the rest of my generation...
“I will happily go to jail. There I will get a roof over my head, three meals a day, something constructive to do and I’ll get free health care. All provided by the state. Do the math, it’s not a bad deal.”
Constructive to do ... an erector set in the bathroom?
The UNdies. As in "They're a bunch of dirty UNdies." :P
“We’ll start an outlaw commune. All we need is an old school bus.”
“Extra cows and goats for making cheese for sale. Sell excess garden harvest. Lots creative and talented people here with skills to manufacture goods and provide services.”
Utopia!
Ouch! DUmmie UNdies.
“Extra cows and goats for making cheese for sale. Sell excess garden harvest. Lots creative and talented people here with skills to manufacture goods and provide services.”
Does that one have a clue what the food processing regulations are? Pasteurization, food standards, taxes, health inspections, health regulations, farming regulations, oh and they have to buy some land. The cleaning sink alone must be three section, a single piece of steel, well stocked with detergents, near a hand sanitizing system, and availability to a government approved restroom.
Oh wait, they’ll be doing it as criminals, squatting on a farm, using leaves in the bushes, and trying to sell their cheeze door-to-door. KOol. Watch the cops chase them as they herd their livestock to the backup hideout.
Won’t Keith have to share his bathtub in prison?
A nut house is where KO and KOS belong.
Laws don’t apply to the far left silly Arthur. Those for the hoi polloi. heh.
Hope and Chains.
Needs to be a bumper sticker.
I quoted your tagline in my profile. Good one.
