Olbermann: ‘Point Taken. I Have Been A Little Over The Top Lately. Sorry.’
Mediaite ^ | 1-23-10

Posted on 01/23/2010 12:57:41 PM PST by My Favorite Headache

Keith Olbermann’s recent transformation from a harsh but reasoned critic of the right, to a hyperbolic caricature of bluster was best exemplified by his recent run-down of Senator-elect Scott Brown. Many media critics noticed it, but most notable was Jon Stewart, who eviscerated his shtick Thursday night. Even Mediaite’s Tommy Christopher asked yesterday “Is Olbermann losing it?” So many of us were shocked by his response last night when he agreed with the critique, and even said “sorry.” Kudos!

Keith Olbermann’s recent transformation from a harsh but reasoned critic of the right,

Are we thinking of the same Keith Olbermann here? There has never been anything resembling reason from the festering mind of that individual.

What really gets me is that he is a sports announcer and is on some of the pro Football games. I can hardly watch the games of the ones he is announcing on because of his raunchy idiotic political show.

“Keith Olbermann’s recent transformation from a harsh but reasoned critic of the right...”

Pray tell... only a sociopathic socialist-loving nitwit would define Uberskank’s vile and spittle-infested hate mongering as “reasoned”. By this idiot’s definition, Charles Manson is a misunderstood philosopher.

It might even be that KO’s bosses noticed his mad descent into Howard Beale territory and had a little chat with him.

He gave a general apology to Stewart, but for what? He gave no apology for any specific charge that he made, nor did he retract anything. He certainly did not apologize to any of the people that he attacked.

What does apologizing for being “over the top” mean?

Oh, Keith. This is much, much too little, much, much too late. You’re fired.

Ben Affleck’s parody of Olberman on SNL was priceless.

Not surprisingly, that skit is very hard to find...if it exists at all...on YouTube.

I used to like Olbermann when he played the dad in the American Pie movies. Now he's just another moonbat who thinks his nutty opinions matter and will make a difference.

How much does Olbermann pay his network for them letting him do a program?

Far, FARRRR too late to have any kind of productive “breakthroughs” - or epiphanies. The only one’s left watching you, Olberwoman, are probably pissed off now! How Ironic!

You cannot lose something you don’t have, and this idiot has nothing to lose in his atom sized brain.
