Classy.

What next? He will be performing in the Old Folk’s Home?

You notice he really didn’t mop the floor with her in a Q&A like the bullshit headline written by partisan hacks would indicate. Nice “work” Count Hackula Christopher.

Truth be told (not here tho) verbally sparring with Ann Coulter would send Keith back to the fetal position in his bathtub.

Was anyone there to actually confirm that it was Keith Olbermann on the stage and not Drew Carey?

Ah, to be seven years old again. Some things never change. sheesh

James Randal said:

Ooooo aren’t you clever.

The only way Olbermann could “mop the floor” with Ann Coulter is if she wasn’t present at the time. But even a Democrat role-model slug like Olbermann isn’t spineless enough to attack a woman who isn’t present to defend herself.

Huh? What did you say? She WASN’T!!!………………….

Keith Olbermann is having a squirmish in his head….

and he’s losing.

James Randal said:

Son, that was you not Ann.

Note to Tommy: nobody cares about this guy anymore… leave him to himself in Dan Rather land.

He’s so brave to go up against the tough crowd at Cornell, too. Ohhh!

…well at least he’s not doing his Heil Hitler skit with a O’Reilly cut out , so there’s that .

Ps. Can anyone confirm if he brought his framed diploma on stage to show off again ?

Judging from the headlines it sounded like they had a debate when in fact it was anything like that.

On a one to one debate I Coulter would mop the floor with him. He would only be mopping it after everyone has left helping the clean up crew.

“An Evening with Keith Olbermann” with a 42-minute Q&A session at Cornelll University’s Bailey Hall.

My guess is was required attendance, why would anyone go there?

New headline:
“LSDNBC releases giant ass into countryside.”

Howz the view, Tommy?!

Keith Olbermann ‘Mops The Floor’ With Ann Coulter During Cornell Q&A

I think a better headline would be:

“Keith Olbermann takes new job as janitor, scrubbing floors at Ann Coulter’s alma mater.”

Yeah, but you can expect mis-leading headlines from the same guy who was upset at the treatment of that walking POS, Helen Thomas, you know, the guy who sucked up to Shizzle McDizzle, the head of the new black panther carnival?

Here’s a guy who couldn’t hold a job as a sports analyst, so he peddles lefty hate, and the most lefty, hateful network in the world won’t even keep him. :) I s’pose it’s newsworthy to the whacko left though, like Tommy Christopher.

This is soooooooooooooooooooooooooo junior high school…..and here’s TC writing about it…..hmmmmmmmm….

James Randal said:

Nice man… nice…

Truth be told, if Keith wanted to mop the floor with Lil’ Dorkin’ Annie, all he’d have to do is grab her by the ankles, turn her upside down and scrub. She’s the perfect dimension for a mop. If she made models of herself she could sell them on QVC. doing what she does best, stirring up dirt and mud. She’d make a mint.

James Randal said:

If you pull the cover of her book away from your groin, she won’t.

Yes, he did in fact tee it up for Coulter, who does seem to have the habit of making Olbermann look like the complete jackass that he is. She’s especially funny when she starts in about his college education. :)

Oooooh. Looks like it struck a nerve.

I must admit that I was drawn in by the headline, only to be disappointed. Though I really like Coulter and wipe my ass after taking my morning Olbermann, I wanted to read something of substance in the story.
It just wasn’t there Mr Christopher. You missed the mark on this one.

Hey, Tommy, thanks so much for the link to the Insider! I actually wrote the article (Ephram Smith was the pseudonym I came up with to “praise” Olby), so it’s nice to see it getting out there. We also have another clip up at the blog of a member of the College Republicans calling him out on his jackassery and, well, Keith’s reaction speaks for itself.

What I find funny is the sheer level of ass-hurt from Mediaite’s hacks aimed at Olbermann -all because he made fun of Dan Abrams’ toupee.

I’m sure KO has fantasized about that, but his fantasies would involve violence/murder. The guy is a well known misogynist who has publically discussed beating females “until they look like a mashed up bag of lipstick” and going intoa room w/ a female “and only one man comes out.”

With such insight and intellect in this post, I find it difficult to remain a Conservative. I feel an uncontrollable urge to now vote Democrit, despite the 10% unemployment, current year deficit bigger than total US debt to date, and skyrocketing gas and food prices. Ooooohhhh…………….the pull to the Left is……………overcoming my sanity…………..ooohhh……………

Olbermann….once an asshole, always an asshole.

Tommy:

I don’t think there is any “banter” between Keith and Anne.

to banter: “Talk or exchange remarks in a good-humored teasing way”

There is nothing good humoured about Keith and what he does; and they is not talk or exchange of remarks between Anne and Keith…maybe there was once back when, but they don’t banter. Keith is clearly jealous of Anne’s success; she is still on television and is a best selling author, several times over. The same cannot be said about the AG guy.

But you can give it the old college try all you want; Keith is a has been (really a never was), and no matter how much attention you want to give him to raise his visibility, it isn’t going to work. Sorry.

Found his calling janitorial service. My apologizes to all the good hard working intelligent janitors out there.

Oh please, almost everything you’ve written about Olbermann is smarmy, dishonest concern-trolling. Like this column, where Ann “thrax” Coulter as usual makes sniggering innuendos about the sexuality of others (she also called John Edwards a “faggot”). Olbermann gave her a tiny taste of her own medicine and what was YOUR reaction? You called on Olbermann to apologize to her! It’s like demanding that the kid who gives a schoolyard bully a well-deserved punch in the face apologize to the bully who had been beating up others. It’s slimy, and dishonest (by the way, please don’t bore me with this “both sides do it” horseshit -it’s a lie and you know it) and all too typical for Mediaite -especially your articles.

I could mention more, as could anyone else who Googles “Tommy Christopher” and “Keith Olbermann”.

Really, Dav-OH ?
Since your CONservative anti-intellect does not allow facts, here are some for you to digest. As of today unemployment stands at 8.8% not 10%, and the previous actual deficit when Obama took office was 6.5 TRILLION. This years deficit of 1.7 trillion is nto greater than 6.5 trillion. Clearly the left in not affecting your insanity, lyou’ve got plenty to spare. Oh, and the skyrocketing prices arrived with the tea-party/republican takeover.

What is here to applaud about?

Funny(sadly) enough these are some of the people who elect America’s leaders.

I call them the “Dummy Electorate”

Tedderman, I think you are confusing Deficit and Debt.

Listen Papsmear, if I want anything out of you, I’d have some gyno ectract it from Anne Coulter’s dried up uterus.
And I’ll thank you to leave my dead mother out of this conversation.

“Keith Olbermann ‘Mops The Floor’ With Ann Coulter During Cornell Q&A”

Let me fininish the headline….

“…and I have been lost without KO….I love that man….I love that man….I L – O – V – E that man.”

by Tommy Christopher

You’re correct Hartly but Davo was referring to debt and calling it deficit also. Had to speak nto him on his level.

Here’s the link to the article I mentioned above: LINK

While he was in NY at Cornell, did TAX CHEAT slimebag olbermann manage to pay any of the money he owes the state for CHEATING ON HIS TAXES? (Yes, he’s just a typical lunatic-left d-crat socialist TAX CHEAT – like geithner, rangel, daschle mccaskill, killifer, solis, kirk, sebelius, kerry and millions more. His warrants, judgments and penalties for TAX CHEATING in California and New York amounted to more than $100,000.)

How is this Keith? Offer to have a LIVE debate with her? Coward!!!!!

Hey, Tommy, say hi to Alfalfa and the gang.

When I first read the headline, I almost fainted. I thought Keith Olbermann had actually agreed to debate Ann Coulter in a public forum.

Must be an April Fools’ Day joke story, huh….Since we know Mr. Olbermann has built his entire career on ridiculing and attacking the very same conservative pundits he is afraid to debate.

But then I read the story and was reassured: Mr. Olbermann simply took on Ann Coulter’s book, not Ms. Coulter himself. Maybe next time he can have a Q&A with a Bill O’Reilly coffee mug or a Glen Beck T-shirt.

Welcome to the world of leftwing punditry, where frank, open discussion and debate is avoided at all costs.

Why is Tommy so fixated on a misogynistic has-been? Even the journolisters hated the guy. I don’t get it.

Okay, please point out the part of that article with which you disagree, and I’ll happily discuss it with you. It sounds to me as though you don’t disagree, you just think Coulter is worse than Olbermann, a point never contested or touched upon in my story.

As it happens, my particular problem with Olbermann’s comments in that case is that transphobia kills, and if you’re mad at Ann Coulter for saying “faggot,” then how is it you think it’s acceptable for Olbermann to respond with a transphobic rant?

You can disagree with me, dislike my writing because I insulted your hero, but you’ve got no basis to question my fairness, accuracy, or motivattion. I’ve been consistently calling out media figures, Olbermann included, for this type of ignorance since long before Mediaite existed. You could look it up.

I didn’t watch the video for the same reason I don’t watch oobama, but reading between the lines it seems like a misleading headline. Did olberman actually dfebate Ann?? If so, I would gladly watch that wreck.

No, she was killed at age 85 2 years ago by a woman who was texting while driving her Mercedes. We did not sue, however her (the mercedes drivers)insurance co. paid the limits of her policy to my sister and I. The half million fits nicely in my retirement account. Mom always said she was going to leave me her car, she just didn’t know how nice a car she left.

Since quote tags are hit-and-miss on this site, I’ll respond in order:

1) So when exactly did you call on Coulter to apologize to Edwards? Or to Wolfe? Or to any of the others she has tried to smear by making snide comments about their sexuality? I looked “Tommy Christopher”, “John Edwards” and “Richard Wolfe”. Nothing published under your byline requested an apology from Coulter.

2) People who are unapologetic in their bigotry, mendacity and stupidity are not entitled to the courtesy given to normal and decent people. Someone like Coulter, who called for the assassination of Bill Clinton, who supported the “right” of so-called “right-to-life” thugs to murder doctors, who said her only regret with Timothy McVeigh was that he didn’t blow up the New York Times, who said she had to leave the legal profession in New York because it had too many Jews deserves ZERO courtesy and ZERO respect. Olbermann simply served it back. Oh, but he’s the bad guy.

3) Since logic isn’t your strong suit, maybe I should point out that mentioning Coulter’s habit of chucking stones from her own glass house is not the same as saying that smashing windows is a good thing. If I point out that Mel Gibson was being an obnoxious jackass for his racist comments, and do so by bringing up that he owes much of his success as an actor to a series of movies where he co-starred with Danny Glover (who is black), and that by his own “logic” he could be considered a “negro-lover” too, I am NOT promoting prejudice against blacks; I’m pointing out how moronic, bigoted and assholish his comments were.

Olberboy is just another sissy-boy Liberal like Maher, Letterboy, Obozo and the three-time draft dodger Clinton…

All of ‘em mock patriotic Americans but did any of these sissy-boys serve their country? Noooooooooo…
Just like most Liberals during time of war, they have a yellow streak running down their backside wider than the 405.

I agree with @tommyxtopher. I gather the “sixth-year” thing was part of character, but you may have a voice for blogging (which is probably every parent’s dream after footing the bill for private college)

Also, I’m going to give kudos to Keith because he was handed something to comment upon which he had never read and found a way to make it entertaining for the audience.

Your right. But in the face of constant and consistant moronic liberalism, I sometimes lose it. There’s so much at stake and rite now the children are running the show. It gets maddening sometimes.

Might have been a misleading headline if I didn’t know that Olbermann had a strict policy against facing the targets of his mockery–which is to say, he’s a coward. Safe venues only!

Olbermann’s only real value is as a walking, talking, iconic representative of the hordes of modern so-called liberals existing in our country currently. I say “so-called”, because the real “liberals” who got that cause started in our country should be “spinning in their graves” if they could be aware of what is happening to their cause, for which they worked so hard and sacrificed so much.

I am not a liberal myself, and I detest their cause as it exists now and even as it did back then. But to “give the devil his due”, I am forced to admire what they accomplished back then: but not what is being accomplished now in their name.

Just like when Olberman claims to “have a degree from an Ivy League school”, there’s a big difference between what “Olberman mops the floor with Coulter” sounds like, and what it actually means.

As if to intentionally demonstrate to the audience the huge gulf between Olby’s “intellect” and that of Coulter,

when shown a copy of the nation’s most prominent and influential conservative college student publication, founded by Coulter, Olby’s first thought was to destroy it in a 7th grade level fit of pique.

Olby was quoted as saying, “Well, what I really wanted to do was burn it on stage, but then I remembered that I was in a crowded theater”

Oh, that Olby, he’s a laff riot!

I love Keith and am glad to see he has joined the world once again. There needs to be a spittin’, justifiably angry liberal to speak out and rage when necessary. The media spends so much time covering the ignorance of the RIGHT WINGNUTS and tpartiers that it is refreshing to get a good liberal outrage expressed. Libs are just too nice and respectful of others. It sounds good to fight back. Thanks Keith!!

Thanks, and well said CarmanK, you get all my thumbs up for the rest of this month!

Er… isn’t that why “mops the floor” is in quote marks in the headline — to emphasize that in this case, “mops the floor” ISN’T what it usually sounds like?

Olbermann neither literally mopped the floor with Coulter nor did he do it in the conventional figurative sense. He did something else altogether, and so the phrase “mops the floor” got ironic quote marks to reflect that.

It’s called a pun. A little hint: They’re used in breezy headlines all the time.

I detest Keith Olbermann, but some of the protests in this comments section are freaking ludicrous.

So, there is nothing in this article with which you disagree? Then what are you arguing with me about? To your points:

1. When the Edwards thing happened, I was an insurance consultant, but I certainly did express my displeasure to co-workers, friends, and family. Don’t know about the Richard Wolffe thing. However, I have worked very hard against homophobia and transphobia, and as I said, long before this website existed. So, I’m not sure if you’re looking for that, or me calling out Coulter specifically, or what, but there’s ample linkage to be found here, and at Politics Daily. My personal favorite was the deconstruction of Fox News smears against Kevin Jennings.

http://www.mediaite.com/online/the-truth-the-smears-about-obama-safe-schools-czar-jennings/

2. My criticism of Olbermann didn’t hinge on Coulter having earned anything, but rather, on transPEOPLE having earned status as people, not punchlines in a schoolyard fight. Olbermann could have found a million ways to trash Coulter that weren’t transphobic. He chose not to.

3. That’s how you would have written the article, and that’s legit, but it wasn’t how I wrote it, because my main message, that transphobia kills, and that the “good guys” ought not engage in it, needed no dilution.

And the commenter who observed that I took some time away from the computer machine is correct, but also, your comment must have been in moderation for some time, because it wasn’t there when I saw commwents that surround it. I think that happens when they’re over a certain length.

There was a time that I actually watched KO. Then his metamorphosis from Liberal commentary to pure egomaniacal crud. His strength used to come from the great guests on the program, who must have tired of him too; toward the end there weren’t any. As much as Ann Coulter’s point of view and delivery creeps me out; I am sure Olbermann lacks the intellect, grasp of the issues, and temperment to mop her up on any count.
