“My God, He’s Still Talking!” Meltdown with Keith Olbermann Part 27
David Horowitz's NewsRealblog ^ | David Forsmark

Posted on 01/20/2010 1:44:23 PM PST by Michael van der Galien

Watching MSNBC last night was a good deal of fun. Rachel Maddow lost her smirk and went glum all night, Chris Matthews babbled incoherently and engaged with some Democrat activist woman at the bar he broadcast from all night—and Keith Olbermann decided he wasn’t quite crazy enough of the election eve.

While Fox News played BOTH concession speeches in their entirety without comment, Olbermann broke into Brown’s victory speech with this rant:

OLBERMANN My God, he’s still talking! Senator-elect Brown is still giving his victory speech tonight in Boston. Howard Fineman will help me wrap it up — if he wraps it up — in a moment. First, the second of tonight’s “Quick Comments.” The tea baggers have elected their first guy tonight, and, thus, they will expecting legislation by tomorrow making it a death penalty offense to call them “tea baggers.”

And that wasn’t even the worst of it. Olbermann doubled down on his fraudulent accusations of the day before by repeating unfounded rumors and demanding that Brown disprove a negative:

Ummm, Keith - Reality is only an illusion that occurs due to a lack of alcohol, but then with you and Chris Matthews sometimes too much to drink isn’t enough.

I believe I saw real fear and insanity behind Keif’s masked on bravado last night. During the French Revolution people like Keif howled for more heads right up until they were themselves seized and thrown into the rolling tumbril.

Everyone please write to Fox News Sports and demand olberass be removed from broadcast due to his continued use of the vile term “tea baggers” and explain in detail what that means in the gay community. He is using a gay slur as well as offending 50% of the viewers watching football. They won’t care about conservatives but if they think they are offending gays they might take action

Olbermann’s behavior could be a feature article in Psychology Today.

Sent a very polite email to the NFL today asking the Commish if the NFL finds Olbermann too politically incendiary to broadcast games. I embedded a wmv of part of his rant.

No response yet.

Olbermann is with MSNBC, not Fox News.

It was hilarious watching the meltdown. I was reading posts on a local blog about Olbermann and laughing and crying - good times!

If the tea party people are “tea baggers” then it must be the big government loving liberals who are the “tea bagged”.

“Matthews babbled...engaged with some...woman at the bar”

I’d have to be drunk, too, to engage Chris Matthews.

Yack.

He is truly insane. How can people watch this guy. My nine and eleven year old boys do less petty name-calling than he does. He is a sad excuse for a human.

It’s time for homolbermann to make an appointment with Dr. Kervorkian. But even then, I doubt that the macabre doctor would be able to ease the guy’s pain.
