The resignation of Scott McClellan (Keith Olbermann)
MSNBC ^ | May 16, 2005 | Keith Olbermann

Posted on 05/17/2005 12:30:08 AM PDT by echoBoomer

SECAUCUS -- I smell something - and it ain’t a copy of the Qu’ran sopping wet from being stuck in a toilet in Guantanamo Bay. It’s the ink drying on Scott McClellan’s resignation, and in an only partly imperfect world, it would be drifting out over Washington, and imminently.

...Snip...

But Monday afternoon, while offering himself up to the networks for a series of rare, almost unprecedented sit-down interviews on the White House lawn, Press Secretary McClellan said, in effect, that General Myers, and the head of the after-action report following the disturbances in Jalalabad, Lieutenant General Karl Eikenberry, were dead wrong. The Newsweek story, McClellan said, “has done damage to our image abroad and it has done damage to the credibility of the media and Newsweek in particular. People have lost lives. This report has had serious consequences.”

Whenever I hear Scott McClellan talking about ‘media credibility,’ I strain to remember who it was who admitted Jeff Gannon to the White House press room and called on him all those times.

Whenever I hear this White House talking about ‘doing to damage to our image abroad’ and how ‘people have lost lives,’ I strain to remember who it was who went traipsing into Iraq looking for WMD that will apparently turn up just after the Holy Grail will - and at what human cost.

I don't think KO has said anything clever since he did sports on the "News at 10" at KTLA in Los Angeles (pre-ESPN days).

Good Grief! Does anyone actually watch Olbermann? I mean what goes on in this guys cranium? Does he truly believe everything his Dem puppeteers hand him? I find it hard to believe that anyone can be as credulous and dimwitted as Olbermann appears. I could be wrong.

It depends how you figure. In our reality, no. But Keith Olbermann lives in an alternate reality where the Jeff Gannon story is the defining event of the existence of mankind.

I know Olberman likes to think of himself as being intelligent and having something profound to say. He just hasn't convinced anyone else yet.
You a fan of his?

Not by any means, he is childish, throws papers around at the end of a broadcast, tries real hard to be funny but he misses the mark. Nope, not a fan. Toby

I wish the White House would bring back Gannon. He would be a sensation, and then a lot more would start watching the briefings again.

wow. Faux Outrage. Whoop-de-doo. I believe it was Ari Fleischer who did the initial transactions. Nonetheless, bring on the fainting couch for Olberman.

Another glaring example of why this station's ratings are in the crapper.

The left is truly insane. Unhinged, unbalanced and clearly out of their minds.

Isn't it fun to watch!!!
