I have some disturbing news. Apparently Keith Olbermann has been caught making political donations to Democrats.
How dare you, sir. How dare you.
This has to be quite a shock for those of you who have been watching Olbermann for years for his unbiased news reporting — a betrayal even. Could Olbermann’s reporting have been biased all this time? I don’t know, but you have to suspect it. It could be quite subtle, but for all we know there could have been a tilt in his broadcast towards Democrats and against Republicans. I can’t think of anything off hand, but now I have to question everything he’s told me. It’s like my whole reality has been shaken at the foundation.
Keith Olbermann, though, did leave this message for his fans:
He does sound sincerely sorry. That didn’t stop MSNBC from suspended him, though, as they won’t let any bias be present on their new network. Olbermann will be back Tuesday, and hopefully by then he’ll have learned his lesson and go back to treating both sides fairly. Until then, Olbermann will be replaced with an excessively barking dog. It hasn’t worked out too well with the rest of the network, though, as Chris Matthews reportedly attacked and bit it.
Yup, msnbc spells credibility.
My German Shepherd barks at her reflection and throws her water bowl when it’s empty.
I think she’d get better ratings than Olbermann.
Your German shepherd probably lies less than Olbermann, as well, Marko.
That clip never gets old.
And I for one, am shocked, shocked at this news from msnbc. Here I thought the whole network was just one big campaign commercial for democrats, but it turns out they were a “news” network?! You could knock me over with a feather.
Olberman, the chief Baghdad Bob on the Baghdad Bob network, took a two day vacation from his election losses. He is in bed, curled into a fetal position, hiding under his blanket and sucking his thumb, quivering in fear that his bedroom door will be kicked in and Buttercup will charge in and kick his butt.
Or Olby was called on the carpet for failing his socialist masters. Soros is not pleased.
You know, don’t they have like channel blocks on cable? I’m going to adult supervise myself and channel block MSNBC so that I never make a mistake and jump to it!
Keith Olbermann’s opinion could be very useful. MSNBC needs to get him back on the air, where he can get back to using his vast wealth of knowledge he learned at agricultural school to give crop reports.
Didn’t Science! just identify the insanity gene that makes people liberal? Well, here it is in action. I googled “Keith Olberman” to get the latest news, and as you would expect, the first result is an ad for SaveOlberman.com. Over 300,000 people have signed the petition.
I have to confess that I laughed again at that, Frank. The first time I ever saw it, I split a gut and several seams.
Save Olbermann…save him for what?
Olberman, the 21ST century Dan Rather.
@ Burmashave: Over 300,000 people have signed the petition.
All named joey b. smith, and jane fondu.
How did Olberman do 300,000 signatures in 2 days. I’m thinkin’ computer program, random name generator, a wad of cash to some dweeb java geek and hit send…
Could the sky be blue?
I liked MSNBC’ s suspension of Olbermann,
it was like saying: “Shut The Hell Up!!!”
as he did to President Bush.
Then they gave him the ultimate punishment,
they are returning him to MSNBC Primetime,
where he will never be heard from again.
Pomplamoose?
Good stuff, frnak.
Also, the botnet cannot contain his disappointment that Faux News couldn’t sign the guy while he was on the outs at the only unbiased and objective news net remaining, MSNBC.
Hermit Dave had a great writeup
