UNBELIEVABLE

MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann used a Saturday morning breakfast session at the Television Critics Association press tour to fire yet another shot at Fox News Channel’s Bill O’Reilly, holding up an O’Reilly mask while raising his right arm in a Nazi salute to mock his on-air rival.
“It’s just so much fun,” said the host of Countdown with Keith Olbermann when questioned about why he pursues his on-air rivalry with O’Reilly.
Olbermann also told the story of seeing O’Reilly at a celebrity fundraiser in New York, but said O’Reilly “never got within 20 feet of me. Every time I looked at him, he looked down.”
Olbermann did, however, note that his show and network have to “take more chances” in the race to compete with CNN and Fox News Channel, which he called an “ingenuously-placed political product.”
UNBELIEVABLE
His fascination with O'Reilly is downright creepy.
When Bill gets 2.3 million and he barely breaks 300 thousand..its not too hard to figure that he is trying to cop a ride on Bills coattails
What a loon.
When all else fails, there's always the good ol' "Ad Hominum" approach!
Exactly, this is all about money and ratings. BOR is a self-centered, pseudo-conservative - Olberman should have more taste in who he fixates on.
Olberman is really a zero talent who laughs at his own lame jokes -- like some sixth grade loser.
Olbermann is a fruitcake. I can't stand OReilly, but I really doubt a no class hack like Olberman even shows up on his radar. Rivalries are supposed to be a two-way street Keith, otherswise it just looks pathetic. Like Vermont trying to mock Texas.
No kidding. I would stay away from the loon too. He tactics are juvenile and he is a borderline stalker. I can see why he is a hero to DUers.
Fortunately for our society, most people out grow these petty jealousies by the time they graduate high school.
It appears that Olbermann, basesd on his Nazi humor, would be a big supporter of Hezbollah.
He is one sick puppy; this kind of stunt will only help to lower the ratings of msnbc and the station will soon disappear into oblivian. If I was his boss, I'd fire him tomorrow, but Keith has the higest ratings on MSNBC and just over 250. LOL. I'm surprised they are still in business.

So Olbermann is admitting that he was too much of a sniveling coward to approach BOR on his own? This anecdote tells more about the small-audience loser than it does about Bill.
The ratings speak for themselves. You [Keith] just suck.
No kidding, he sure has a Bill O'Reilly fetish. He probably has voodoo dolls and an O'Reilly dartboard at home, too.
I wouldn't know-- I make it a point not to watch Olberman. I suspect (having seen the ratings posted somewhere) that a lot of people don't watch him. No wonder he's so jealous.
