Bill Clinton Blames Keith Olbermann for Having to Skip Charity Event: PHOTO
A major charitable event is happening in Little Rock, Arkansas, Saturday, and former Bill Clinton apparently will not be in attendance because MSNBC's Keith Olbermann has politicized it on his "Countdown" program. As Arkansas News reported hours ago, "Nine hundred people or more will get free medical attention from noon to 7 p.m. at the Statehouse Convention Center." Unfortunately, according to the liberal website FireDogLake, Clinton has decided not to attend as a result of...

Keith Olbermann Says Glenn Beck Should “Go To Hell”: PHOTO
Keith Olbermann had a few choice words for Glenn Beck on Tuesday night after reading Beck’s comments on Health Care reform. Olbermann was particularly angry about Beck comparing his anti-health-care reform thoughts to those of individuals who warned about Osama Bin Laden before 9/11. He named the political pundit the episode’s ‘World’s Worst.’ “Ten years ago, I could have shouted every single day about Osama bin Laden and his wacky, crazy threats to kill...

Olbermann, Hannity Get Along at World Series: PHOTO
MSNBC's Keith Olbermann blogged at MLB.com about his night at Yankee Stadium watching the NY Yankees win their 27th World Series Championship and posted a few photos from the game. This one is our favorite: Olbermann wrote, "A reminder that baseball does erase boundaries. The guy I'm taking a photo of, who's taking a photo of me - we get along perfectly at the ballpark - less so during our day jobs." Two more photos after the jump. (h/t Mediaite )

Hannity: 'Mr. Stewart, You Were Right, We Apologize': VIDEO
After being accused by "The Daily Show" of misrepresenting protest rally footage, Sean Hannity responded on his show directly to Jon Stewart last night and said, "It was an inadvertent mistake, but a mistake nonetheless." Campbell Brown aired the "Daily Show" clip on CNN last night, and Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann showed it on MSNBC.

Why Keith Olbermann Didn't Literally Kill Sean Hannity at This Baseball Game [Feuds]
Keith Olbermann and Sean Hannity snapped cutesy pictures of one another at a World Series game , even though Hannity's boss Rupert Murdoch just yesterday said there was a nasty "personal" feud going between the TV opinion hosts. He wishes. Murdoch and his FOX News Channel monsters like Roger Ailes and Bill O'Reilly love to frame their fight with Olbermann and his network MSNBC as petty personal bickering. Of course they do; that creates a false equivalency between the two sides. Here's what...

MSNBC's Maddow Charges -Cowardly' Pro-Life Stupak -Targeting Women' Who -Can't Fight Back': PHOTO
On Thursday's Countdown show, as MSNBC's Keith Olbermann hosted fellow host Rachel Maddow to plug a segment on her show about pro-life Democratic Congressman Bart Stupak's push to block any ObamaCare proposal that involves taxpayer funding of Abortion, Maddow charged that Stupak was being "cowardly" in focusing his pro-life attention "targeting" poor women who "won't fight back or can't fight back because they don't have the resources." Maddow's...

America, Here is Your Desired ‘Letterman on McCain’ Action ['This Just Gets Uglier And Uglier']
Well, isn't this interesting. Hours before the anticipated David Letterman evisceration of John McCain aired on the East Coast, a YouTube popped up (by a user who had never posted any videos before and registered today) with all the highlights. Thanks, CBS mole! Video after the jump: The YouTube is nine minutes long, so here are the relevant parts: :01 - 3:27: Letterman takes fairly tame shots at McCain mixed with genuine praise for the man's heroism. 3:27 - 6:34: Dave starts getting testy! 6:35 - 9:1

Olbermann: Obama 'Target of Racism from Right,''Hated' for Being 'Black Dem': PHOTO
On Monday's Countdown show, responding to Mississippi Republican Governor Haley Barbour's recent contention on NBC's Meet the Press that President Obama has personal popularity -- based partially on being the first black President -- that is separate from the unpopularity of Obama's policies, MSNBC host Keith Olbermann labeled Barbour's words as "incoherent," and charged that President Obama is in reality a "target of Racism from the right." Olbermann: But it was...

Brokaw Plays Hall Monitor at NBC News
Two interesting bits of news in today's New York Times story about Tom Brokaw and Meet the Press: First, while NBC hasn't settled on a replacement for the late Tim Russert, "it is leaning toward an ensemble of hosts that would be led by Chuck Todd, NBC's political director, and include David Gregory, a correspondent and MSNBC anchor, according to a person who had been briefed on the proposal but was not authorized to comment."Second, Brokaw reveals that he lobbied, successfully, against letting Keith Olberm

Tina Fey Tells, Sells Jokes
30 Rock star and Sarah Palin's authentic self Tina Fey is supposedly snapping up at least $6 million for a non-fiction humor tome, and she hasn't even tried selling the book that hard. For the record, that's about $2 million more than fellow non-fiction humorist Keith Olbermann earns every year from MSNBC.

The Pundits Take: VP Debates War
Best moments of the debate included Palin winking, Palin telling Biden that his wife's reward was in heaven (4:15 into the clip), and everyone agreeing on gay rights. But what did the guys who are payed to analyze the debates think? A pundit round-up, after the jump:   • James Carville thought Biden won. Surprise! • Tom Brokaw thought Palin exceeded expectations, but it ultimately doesn't matter because no one cares about the VPs. • Keith Olbermann thought it was cool Bi

Sarah Silverman, Olbermann and Ayers
Everyone who spent their day worrying about the "unrepentant'' Bill Ayers and his impact on Democrat Barack Obama might better spend some time listening to the likes of Keith Olbermann and Sarah Silverman, he of the MSNBC evening liberal marathon, she of "the Great Schlep''' calling on all South Florida "bubbies''' to line up for Obama on Election Day. It's likely that the ground campaign in Florida will have a far greater impact on the election coming than any debate about whether a guy who protested

Andy Martin condemns NBC News “franchising” in Chicago
2009-11-06 00:26:11 - U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin criticizes the hiring of outside “franchise” writers to provide content to NBC without any vetting, accountability or standards by NBC. Martin says NBC is becoming an increasingly left-wing news organization, perhaps shadowed by MSNBC's Keith Olbermann and other agents of the hard left. Andy also says NBC's own internal Chicago “political experts” Carol Marin and Mary Ann Ahern “eat what they are fed by Mark Kirk.” ANDY...

Olbermann: Kristol 'Spitting on Ft. Hood Dead,' O'Reilly Slammed for Calling 'Terrorism': PHOTO
On Monday's Countdown show, MSNBC host Keith Olbermann, presumably picking up on a posting by the far left ThinkProgress.org -- one of his regular sources of information to attack conservatives -- made the arguably inaccurate claim that FNC political analyst Bill Kristol had on the Thursday, November 12, Special Report with Bret Baier on FNC, called for Fort Hood gunman Nidal Hasan to be convicted and executed without trial. After calling the FNC analyst's words "anti-American," and...

First Day Contrast: Olbermann Called Tiller Shooting 'Terrorism' and a 'Jihad,' But Avoided Those Terms for Fort Hood: PHOTO
On June 1 of this year, MSNBC host Keith Olbermann devoted most of his hour of Countdown to his withering outrage at the Shooting of late-term abortionist George Tiller in Kansas (and how it was caused by Fox News). The tone was dramatically different than his tone on November 5, the night of the Islamic terrorist Shooting rampage at Fort Hood in Texas. Here's Olbermann's very dry opening: "Nightmare at Fort Hood: How could a soldier kill at least 12 other Soldiers and wounded at least...

Glenn Beck's boss, wingnut and coward
Keith Olbermann rips News Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch for denying that he had accused President Obama of making racist comments: Unfortunately for Murdoch, he did accuse Pres. Obama of making racist comments, and Keith plays the video. It’s bad enough that Rupert Murdoch would have ever back Glenn Beck’s absurd allegation that Barack Obama is a racist; the fact that he doesn’t have the intestinal fortitude to stick by that attack shows that Murdoch isn’t just a...

Keith Olbermann Prays For Quick Testicular Pain Relief: PHOTO
Dear God, I've asked you repeatedly again and again and again and again and again, but you haven't delivered. Why must I endure this pain? You know I'm a good person. You must have seen my “special hour” comment on Health Care reform, right? It was the best show I've done in my career. What more you want? Don't you appreciate anything I do? But don't you know my ratings have been nothing short of spectacular since January? My reruns are killing our competitors in the same time...

Olbermann Suggests FNC Discriminates Against Non-White or Muslim Employees: PHOTO
On Friday's Countdown show, MSNBC host Keith Olbermann suggested that Fox News is a racist organization that would hold race or religion against its employees in awarding promotions, as he used the show's "Worst Person" segment to slam Fox and Friends co-hosts Brian Kilmeade, Gretchen Carlson, and Peter Johnson, for raising questions about whether Muslims serving in the Military should be treated with more attention. While every show in MSNBC's primetime and morning lineups has...

Guess who took this photo of Sean Hannity
This is a picture of Fox News host Sean Hannity at the Yankees/Phillies game the other night (congratulations Yankees, blah, blah, etc). Ordinarily this wouldn't be a big deal, but it's who's taking the picture that makes it interesting. It's... Keith Olbermann ! And Hannity is taking a picture of him, as the photo shows. No, they're not going to use the photos in some court case against each other, they actually get along (well, at the ball game anyway -- America's pastime!). [via TV Newser ]...

MSNBC's 'Countdown' Plays Hurricane Katrina Card in Health Care Debate: PHOTO
Remember those free Health Care clinics MSNBC's Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow played up back in October after Olbermann's hour-long "Special Comment," about Republican opposition to ObamaCare and/or PelosiCare? Well, now it's time for their brand of AstroTurf to be put into action. On MSNBC's Nov. 13 "Countdown," fill-in host Lawrence O'Donnell raised the issue about the potential opposition Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., might have over the current Health Care legislation...
