Olbermann is Doing the Stages of Grief for Clinton Campaign and Maggie Williams Story

[K Gardner]

This is not shaping up to be a good night for Hillary on Countdown. Heads up.

[H2O Man]

1. We're watching it.

Nominated.

[K Gardner]

2. "Wild eyed anger, cynicism.. Clinton may have written her own campaign obituary."

[K Gardner]

3. Olbermann: May as well have been a different person at the debate.

[bigtree]

5. I love watching you talk to yourself on this.

[eleny]

23. I just got home from an errand and missed KO's first half hour

So I appreciate the ongoing notes of the show. It's sort of a DU tradition for people to do this for those who are at work and can't watch. I'm benefiting tonight.

[thevoiceofreason]

54. A snark fom the king of the self-bump! How nice.

[bigtree]

4. when isn't he slobbering over Obama and casting Clinton in every negative way he can manage

It's supposed to be some shock he's going to exploit this Drudge generated story?

[Kittycat]

8. HRC needs no casting - she's writing the script to disaster.

[bigtree]

10. according to the supporters of the Obama campaign

how transparent and boring.

[K Gardner]

12. If you're so bored... shooo..

[bigtree]

20. more bore

[Forkboy]

35. Don't be so hard on yourself. I find you entertaining.

[Zueda]

9. He didn't before SC. n/t

[Drunken Irishman]

39. Exactly. I remember Olbermann on the night of the Iowa Caucus.

He actually looked deflated because Clinton lost. You could see it in his face and hear it in his words, he was pulling for Clinton to win Iowa and it didn't happen. After South Carolina, something changed and he woke up to her campaign style.

[johnnydrama]

48. it was the fearmongering

The voting for Obama is a roll of the dice, the vote for me or you're going to die rhetoric of Clinton that turned KO off.

He's mentioned it at least 3 times, and if he's going to have special commentaries about Bush doing it, it would be hypocritical of him to not say at least something about Hillary.

There's no way KO was for Obama pre Iowa. He had John & Elizabeth Edwards on multiple times and praised them every time.

[gaiilonfong]

6. GO KEITH SKEWER THE THUG CLINTON

Finally he see's what we have been seeing for some time now!

[dempartisan23]

42. i see a woman filled with bitter hate

[K Gardner]

7. "Who knew which Hillary Clinton we would be getting?" Playing clips of

the debate, the Shame on You, the Rhode Island Mockery.

"Is there anyone telling Clinton she is destroying herself and writing McCain's speeches?"

Talking about her contempt for Obama.

[dsc]

11. It bothers me just a little bit

that a man who dates a woman young enough to be his daughter has done nothing at all to speak out against the rampant sexist commentary by members of his own network as documented by dailyhowler and mediamatters. Is it any surprise he is anti Hillary?

[K Gardner]

15. Good lord.. you have GOT to be kidding me ! Olbermann is a pedophilic sexist?? Please, take

heed of Clinton Camp's New Slogan:

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

17. You sound very concerned.

:spray:

[Cha]

25. This is saying more about you than Olbermann..

and I'll plagiarize hilary's words, here. Shame on you, dsc.

hilary is her own worst enemy with KO pointing out the facts and your shilling for her is not helping hilary ..only making you less credible.

[dsc]

26. Have you said shame to just one, out of the dozens and dozens and dozens

of people who have complained about Clinton?

[K Gardner]

27. WTF? What kind of logic is that? Say Shame or we'll call you a pedophile? Unfucking real.

[dsc]

28. I didn't call Olberman a pedeophile

but he is dating a woman in her 20's while he is in his 50's that is young enough to be his daughter.

[Forkboy]

38. So? What's your point?

They are both, after all, adults . :shrug:

[Cha]

29. Make sure you don't run

out of red herrings..you'll need plenty more.

[nolabels]

57. Doh, not the dreaded red herrings again...........

:rofl:

[apocalypsehow]

30. It bothers me just a little bit

all the ripe evidence of the inability of the typical HRC booster to think lucidly, to wit, "dates a woman young enough to be his daughter" + "rampant sexist commentary" + "he is anti-Hillary" is a cute way of tying three unrelated things together to = one big fat logical fallacy - and an ad hominem one to boot.

What's up with that? Is it truly all your side's got left?

[Medusa]

33. And why would you think he'd do that?

Hello? He dates a woman young enough to be his daughter! That's not a guy who is likely to really and truly respect women and I've heard him make numerous sexist and at times very hostile comments about women on his show. Can't say I'm a fan anymore like I once was.

But he's right about Hillary although I'm sure he derives extra satisfaction out of bashing her because you know, she IS a woman. And an older one at that. A guy like that isn't likely to value anyone over a certain age.

[Forkboy]

37. I'm guessing KO is doing something right because a few weeks back he was a "Hill Shill".

I love this place.

[rzemanfl]

43. It seems there are plenty of women here of all ages who would

do Keith in a heartbeat. Just my two cents.

[Zueda]

13. uh oh. dee dee myers.

Will she play the gender card?

[K Gardner]

18. I think Dee Dee was brought in for some balance.. she's doing a good job, IMO.

[Zueda]

19. true...

[madrchsod]

22. the same dee dee myers who has ripped

on hillary for years?

[blonndee]

14. "Always remember that your hope that things might get better is utterly pointless."

Hillary's message, as paraphrased by Keith.

[K Gardner]

16. I loved that.. glad you got it transcribed ! Thanks.

[madrchsod]

21. the best comment on the maggie-"i know nothing" williams story

At TNR’s The Plank, Jason Zengerle is none too fond of Drudge either: “hile I don’t think Hillary should drop out before Texas and Ohio, her withdrawal would mean that if the GOP wanted to smear Obama, they’d have to do it without hiding behind her.”

from the new republic

[eleny]

24. Thanks for the "play by play"

I just got home - missed the first 1/2 hour.

[Scurrilous]

31. K & R

:kick:

[anamandujano]

32. A guy has got to earn a living. His paycheck is issued by GE.

nuf said

[VenusRising]

36. What does that mean?

He sure doesn't have any problem going after the Bush administration and other legislators over some of the most egregious actions against the people of the United States. GE doesn't have a problem with that even though they make billions with their military industrial ties.

So what are you saying exactly?

[Forkboy]

41. It means the poster is mad because KO didn't kiss Clinton ass tonight.

No one can actually criticize her without some nefarious vast right wing conspiracy being the cause.

[anamandujano]

46. Did he ever kiss her @ss?

[Forkboy]

52. Well, a few weeks back Obama fans were calling him a "Hill Shill".

Funny how that works, isn't it?

[VenusRising]

50. That's what I am guessing.

Especially from her f'ing responses.

[anamandujano]

47. It's election time. One can criticize Bush and still love Repukes.

The best way to get another one in the white house is to knock off the stronger candidate in the primaries.

How many f'ing times to I have to tell y'all this? Pay f'ing attention.

[VenusRising]

49. what f'ing ever!

[Forkboy]

40. Hey, if you get the chance could reply back to me in the other thread with your defenses of Obama?

After all, I fulfilled your request for links.

Thanks in advance.

[anamandujano]

45. Got a link to that thread. Sometimes I have to do other things and

it's probably on page 10 now.

[Forkboy]

51. Sure, you bet.

Look forward to your reply.

[Yael]

34. This is online now == "Clinton Camp Unglued"

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3036677/

[K Gardner]

53. From this Link: Ire Straights.. (excellent summary of the Clinton Weekend Shamapalooza)

With wild-eyed anger in Cincinnati on Saturday...And then condescending and cynical sarcasm in Rhode Island on Sunday...Senator Hillary Clinton may have written her own political obituary. The corollary question: in so doing, did she also hand John McCain some of the paper and ink he'll need to try to write Barack Obama's? Our fifth story on the Countdown: Whatever the Clinton campaign thinks it is writing -- today it might have supplied the accompanying illustration: of Obama in traditional African robes.
- Keith Olbermann

[psychopomp]

62. Thank you

I put the TV away in storage a long time ago. :toast:

[polichick]

44. Shoot - I missed his show tonight...

Anyone know if they replay it??

[Yael]

55. Midnight EST

[polichick]

58. Thanks!! :)

[DemBones DemBones]

56. Yeah, I switch the channel when he comes on now.

He's trying to get McCain elected, just like Tweety and Tucker and Wolfie.

[AX10]

59. Olbermann is worthless.

[Forkboy]

60. Awwww

[AZBlue]

61. I can not believe I don't have cable right now - if there's an online post,

please please please provide the link!!!!

Thank you! :hi:
