Just watch, Olbermann will get some revenge for this. Olbermann’s whole career is about revenge, and he never forgets slights — especially those from his own colleagues.

It was disturbing on ‘Morning Joe’ this morning that when Joan Walsh asked Mika and Joe “who on the Left is comparable to Beck, Limbaugh?”, they just said “are you kidding?” and “it’s so obvious but we’ll tell you in the commercial break”. Are they not allowed to say Olbermann, Schultz, etc? It was very, very odd.

Donnie, sorry to see that your show has been canceled but you played such a mellow KO video.

You should have played this one:

“In short, in Scott Brown we have an irresponsible, homophobic, racist, reactionary, ex-nude model, teabagging supporter of violence against woman and against politicians with whom he disagrees. In any other time in our history, this man would have been laughed off the stage as an unqualified and a disaster in the making by the most conservative of conservatives. Instead, the commonwealth of Massachusetts is close to sending this bad joke to the Senate of the United States.”

Ed Shultz not hateful???

Speaking of revenge, did anyone catch Hugh Hewitt’s participation in this panel discussion? All he did was use the opportunity to repeatedly call Ed Schultz a “joke”. And regardless of what you think about Schultz (I give him very little thought one way or the other), it was an unbelievably petty thing to do and obvious that it came out of some lame radio-guy rivalry. I guess Hewitt is just pissed he doesn’t have a terribly-rated early evening TV show too.

Will the orange faced hack make an msnbc employee worst? LOL!

Another one bites the dust.

I put Olbermann, Beck, Mr Ed, Hannity, and Rush all in the same category. However, I have to disagree with lumping Oreilly in with them.

Perfectly put

@BR I put Olbermann, Beck, Mr Ed, Hannity, and Rush all in the same category. I completely agree with you. However, the difference is that Mr Ed and KO are angry and mean most of the time except they happen to tall the truth. Hannity. Beck and Rush and other on the right NOT SO MUCH!!!

blue: Sorry, but there is NO way that I think any sane person would think that Olbermann tells the truth. He is every bit as dishonest as Hannity.

EXCEPT OLBERMANN HAS NO VIWERSHIP! LOL!!

Yes.

When Keith Olbermann announces he is an alcoholic, drug addict, spewing paranoid wingnut tripe for years then I’ll listen to the Koldys’s Klown Klub.

“…airing clips of the usual suspects angering Americans including…”

You left out the President who lies about Lobbyists; C-Span Coverage; Job Creation Numbers; ‘Bipartisanship’; NET Tax Increases; Support for the Free Market vs. Gov’t Jobs; Confronting Iran; False ‘Health Care’ Assumptions (fed to the CBO)…etc. etc. etc.

VOTERS WILL EXPRESS THE TRUTH COME NOVEMBER!

heh – heh -heh!!!!

btw, that’s an outright INSULT to Beck & Limbaugh to be lumped in with the disgraced sportscaster!!!

heh – heh!!

A third-grader could easily disemble any of the disgraced sportscaster’s contrived “RANTS”!!!

heh – heh!!!

Either Donny is gonna get a public hand slap like Joe did, or he is gonna get a free pass, in which case we will know that KO’s days are numbered.

KO only wishes he could be put in the same category as Rush; KO is no where near the caliber of a Rush or a Hannity. Was Donny told to say that in order to attempt to raise KO to RL level? LOL

MSNBC=meltdown.

“disgraced sportscaster?”

Wrong.

So… and correct me if I’m wrong here… to prove that KO is a great sportscaster, you quote the organization he currently works for, and expect an honest appraisal? Riiight.

From Wikipedia:

In 2004, ESPN snubbed Olbermann from the guest lineup of its twenty-fifth anniversary SportsCenter “Reunion Week,” which saw Craig Kilborn and Charley Steiner return to the SportsCenter set. In 2007, ten years after Olbermann’s departure, in an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman, he said: “If you burn a bridge, you can possibly build a new bridge, but if there’s no river any more, that’s a lot of trouble.” During the same interview, Olbermann stated that he had recently learned that as a result of ESPN’s agreeing to let him return to the airwaves, he was banned from ESPN’s main (Bristol, Connecticut) campus.[30]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keith_Olbermann

And the New Yorker:

Olbermann’s tenure at ESPN was characteristically contentious. One of his co-anchors, Suzy Kolber, has said that Olbermann was sometimes so overbearing that she would lock herself in the bathroom and cry. Another colleague, Mike Soltys, has said that when Olbermann left the network, in 1997, “he didn’t burn bridges here—he napalmed them.”

So “legend,” yes… but that’s not necessarily a positive statement, now is it?

Just because there was behind the scenes politics at ESPN does not mean Keith is not great at his job of calling sports games live.

Is “Dark Side of the Moon” a bad record because there were fights in the studio?

I don’t think so.

Keith is good at what he does. Talented broadcaster. You cannot take that away from him.

He would not be on the air still if he didn’t have the chops to back it up. The guy has an encyclopedic mind that can recall key moments in all sports and wax eloquently on the spot. He knows his baseball and he knows his football.

He knows when to talk, and when not to talk.

Give it up for KO, at least for sports.

My point in posting that bio is that Keith has one of the top jobs in sports. Calling games for the NFL on NBC takes skill.

That’s the top of the field, and not just any chump can do it year after year.

Obama Zombies there, which is a joke for all of us to realize the truth of what happened. And you are blinded by the reasons that are no longer relevant. Your democracy? Strange and funny and strange only in the face of Republicans. From the fake. These parties, the client does not work in the country, at least in the world.

Well… he WAS good at what he did… that is true. Folks liked him behind the desk at ESPN (did he call live games?).

But he doesn’t do that anymore. And presently, he’s very cliché (all the turns to the camera) and far over the top. So for a broadcaster currently… no, he gets nothing.

HOWEVER, the original comment was that he’s a “disgraced sportscaster,” and that remains valid. Elliot Spitzer was a good AG… but he’s still the “disgraced governor.” KO’s time at ESPN was bad… on air, it was good… but everything else was bad. The largest sports media company (ESPN) fired him, won’t allow them on their facility, and virtually never mentions him by name.

He may have been a good talent… but he was a bad person, who was forced to leave in shame. That equals “disgraced.”

Bye Donnie:

http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/msnbc/donny_deutsch_off_the_air_after_criticism_of_keith_olbermann_159147.asp

Donny Douche? Is he “somebody.” Poor guy looks a bit constipated to me.

Trolls, why don’t you just get a freaking room (chat) and leave the rest of us here to discuss the topic at hand? Sheesh….

Poor Donny can only dream of having one/tenth the intelligence of Glenn Beck. And the STAR POWER. Eat your heart out, .little man.

I saw Donny Deutch for about five minutes yesterday about another issue, and ALL THREE of his guests refused to agree with him on DD’s ultra-left wing take on a Tea Party issue. Deutch said “Am I crazy or……” and his three guests were silent, implying strongly that, yes, indeed, Donny Deutch is CAAA-RAAAZY.

That said, he is a vast improvement over David Shuster, who sucked in every way, shape, and form. Including his personal ethics, when he did a super-secret audition for CNN without asking his MessNBC handlers for permish. Shuster also sucked at FoxNEWS, when the smarmy creepy degenerate erased an exclusive by a colleague from the monitors just minutes from air time and got caught and fired—with extreme prejudice. That made him prime MessNBC ethical recruiting material. Shuster was and continues to be a general, all-round asshole who robo-sucks at whatever he does.

Wait RACIST Donny Deutch says he DISAGREES WITH EVERYTHING GLENN BECK says.

1. Glenn Beck advocates freedom of speech.

2. Glenn Beck says that the press and the government should not be in bed together, that the press should be the watchdog of the government for the people.

3. Glenn Beck advocates PEACEFUL assembly.

4. Glenn Beck advocates that the government should watch their spending and try to bring down the deficit.

5. Glenn Beck tells people to be more involved in their government.

6. Glenn Beck says that our founding fathers were great.

7. Glenn Beck tells people to educated themselves on U.S. history.

SO DONNY DEUTCH DISAGREES WITH THAT??

Suspend’em all!
