I’m sure Keith is very good at straddling lots of things.
>> He hasn’t been able to date. <<
What do his social problems have to do with this? :^D
LOL, Keith and credibility are mutually exclusive nouns.
He can’t straddle the line between sanity/insanity, he always falls to the left when he tries.
Why would the GOP candidates allow this debate to occur on PMSNBC, a liberal network, be hosted by a liberal, Chris Matthews, and be analyzed by a liberal, Olbermann?
Now that Imus is shaking the CBS money tree to the tune of $40 million, wonder what little bit of "pay me" was written into his MSNBC deal?
This article is so typical of the crAP. So typical.
there used to be a sports jock teevee personality in L.A. back in the 20th century named Olberman also. The guy was such a doofus he actually got fired as a sports commentator. I wonder if this is his son or younger relative.
Keith has gotten grayer since he became obsessed
with demeaning poor Bill O’Reilly. He should have
stayed with sports..knowledgeable politics passed him
up months ago....JK
Well, he’s done a pretty good job straddling the line between insignificance and obscurity, so...
Maybe to show that unlike the Democrats' fearful refusal to particiapate in the Fox News debates, the GOP is showing everybody that not only are they not afraid of Terrorists, they're not afraid of the clowns at MSNBC.
A: I talked to both of Keith's viewers and they think he can.
keiths an adult? since when?
Re: Can Keith Olbermann straddle the line between news and opinion?
Can Rosie O’Donnell distinguish between truth and fiction?
No and No.
“Keiths an adult,” Griffin said”
Chortle.
Someone at NBC News needs to explain to me just what exactly qualifies Keith Olberman to do anything more than regurgitate box scores for Major League Baseball. I have yet to see him offer anything in the way of commentary that doesn’t come off like a 12-year-old railing against the injustices of his parents. His “worst person of the week” is a joke. Unless the award passes between pot-bellyed dictator Kim Jong Il or anti-Semite Mymood I’madinnerjacket, it’s a stupid award. But who does it go to? Glenn Beck. President Bush. Rush Limbaugh. I suggest we announce the new “worst person on cable news” and give Mr. Olberdork (tm Rush) a lifetime achievement award.
His ratings are less than dismal. It must kill him that he can’t even garner an audience equal to the population of Berkeley, California. What is more than just merely amusing, and illustrated handsomely by a poster above, is that even when he and the rest of the kamikazi geniuses the run MSNBC proffer programming that the average conservative/Republican voter would watch, those viewesr STILL would prefer to get the information second-hand from Fox than to listen to the collection of biased talking heads to be found at MSNBC. I’m sure MSNBC was looking forward to ratings surpassing Fox, which they didn’t get. Instead, blogs and websites were happy to post recaps of the questions and answers, which made the MSNBC line-up look like the Three Stooges Stage a Debate. The Republican candidates deserve credit for not behaving in turn after the Democrats staged their anti-Fox hissy fit.
Let me get this straight. The Dems boycott Foxnews, then go on MSNBC and get white glove treatment from Williams. Two weeks later, Republicans go on MSNBC and get subjected to Hardball with Chris Matthews & Co. And to top it off, KEITH OLBERMANN gets to do color commentary before and after. Is THAT how we’re going to elect our next President?
Most people who straddle the fence don’t have those little round things between their legs making it easier to do so.
Nobody in the DBM straddles ANYTHING... every one of these bastards are in the DNC camp... or left of it. That faux-debate with DNC talking-point questions(culture of corruption, Terri Schiavo, Karl Rove, Scooter Libby... etc.) last night was just another odious example.
I only vaguely know who this guy is. If I ever see him on TV it is only by accident, and only for the 3 or 4 miliseconds it takes me to change the station.
I don’t have a problem with NBC or anyone else mixing news with commentary, when they do so openly. My problem has always been that they have never not done so, but they have never admitted it even perhaps to themselves. The man-bites-dog in all of this is not Olbermann, its that they think he is somehow different from the rest of their supposed news anchors.
So insulated are most TV journalists that they have really no idea that they are biased. If you notice their uniformity of opinion, it is you, the former viewer, who is biased in their view. Its doubtful that a fish knows he’s wet, and its apparent that the average TV journalist has no idea how laughable they are.
