Did You See Olberman and the Chimp-OBGYN!!!

[redstateblues]

I've been slow to warm up to Keith- but he's got me now- hope he doesn't break my like ol'what's his name that comes on before him.

[Hailtothechimp]

1. I saw it. It was a front shot, unlike the side shot on CSPAN.

and the laugh off camera after the clip was priceless. Olbermann's the man.

[redstateblues]

2. Keith's reaction was incredible- unlike tweet he's funny

[MichiganVote]

4. Unfrickenbelieveable--still laughing!!!

[My Pet Goat]

3. This was not a simple Bushism...

I think dark, Freudian slip is a more apt description.

[senseandsensibility]

5. What did he say?

I'm dying here.That is, what did * say?

[michigandem2]

8. he said

Obgyn's are having to quit working and they are not able to share the love they have with women??? (something to that effect)

[senseandsensibility]

13. WHAT????

This guy is seriously out of his mind.:crazy:

[My Pet Goat]

11. He let slip his secret thoughts on...

gynecologists having sex with their patients. Ok, maybe it was a Bushism. I don't know. It was creepy.

[MichiganVote]

12. He said that OB/GYN's can't practice their love with women

all across the country. (Ostensibly because of malpractice suits)

But you've got to see it to believe it. Best gaffe in the campaign.

[Cha]

23. So Far!

What was that one in 2000? Something about "Familes putting on themselves"?

[MoonRiver]

30. Lol! Families putting FOOD on themselves!!

Another classic!! :D

[dweller]

32. putting food on your families...

i think it was.

dp

[Cha]

44. Thanks! I knew it was something like that and I

also knew that if I put that out there that someone would get it right for me! :)

[hatrack]

35. "I know how hard it is to put food on your family"

"The question needs to be asked, is our children learning?"

"I believe the human being and the fish can coexist."

[Cha]

45. bush isn't just normally dumb..he

is sub dumb!

[private_ryan]

59. I agree with him that

more and more of our exports come from overseas though

[tandot]

14. something like "OBGYNs are not able to practice their love with their

patients" because of all those frivolous lawsuits.

Hell, if my doc starts to practice his "love" with me it will definitely NOT be a "frivolous" lawsuit.

[DemBones DemBones]

15. He was talking about doctors, no doubt attacking

those evil trial lawyers who sue doctors for malpractice. (:eyes:) So he says, "A lot of good docs are goin' outta bidness. A lot of OB-GYNs can no longer practice. . . (long pause while he tries to gather his words) their love with women across the country."

You MUST see it! Check the other threads that mention OB-GYN.

:wow:

:wtf:

[jean]

48. He said:

"We got an issue in America. Too many good docs are gettin' out of business. Too many O-B-G-Y-N's aren't able to practice their... ...their love with women all across this country."

[Virginian]

58. Here is one of those doctors. - His court case.

Here is the judgement against a doctor in Alexandria, Virginia who fathered children with at least one of his patients each month from 1976 to 1986.


In early 1992, Dr. Cecil B. Jacobson, a physician, was convicted

of 52 felony counts for mail fraud, wire fraud, travel fraud, and per-

jury. See United States v. Jacobson, No. 92- 5406, slip op. (4th Cir.

Sept. 3, 1993) (unpublished), cert. denied, 62 U.S.L.W. 3717, 3722

(U.S. May 2, 1994). These criminal offenses stemmed in part2 from

Jacobson's misconduct in implementing a fraudulent sperm donor

scheme in which he injected his own sperm into his patients instead

of the promised sperm of the patient's husband or an anonymous

donor during artificial insemination procedures at his fertility clinic,

Reproductive Genetics Center, Ltd. St. Paul Fire & Marine Ins. Co.

v. Jacobson, 826 F. Supp. 155, 158 (E.D. Va. 1993).3 As a result of

these activities, which were brought into public light by the 1992

_________________________________________________________________

1 Jacobson and Reproductive Genetics Center, which Jacobson owned

and operated, are the named defendants in the suit before us today. We

refer to defendants collectively as Jacobson.

2 Jacobson's criminal convictions involved various schemes designed

to lure patients into his fertility clinic. See 826 F. Supp. at 158 n.2.

3 Jacobson admitted that he intentionally inseminated patients at his

clinic with his own sperm approximately once a month during the time

period from 1976 to 1986.

6. Ew! I have this on delay-did you see Bush's back during the poll segment?

Sweatin' like a pig!

[DU9598]

10. Bush's sweating problem

I think he has a serious medical condition, sweating, inability to speak clearly, puffiness, red faced. I wonder if he has had any heart problems.

[DIKB]

18. That's funny.

from what you just described, those are the exact symptoms an alcoholic would have. Be it from being flat out DRUNK, or recovering from a drinking binge. Here's hoping we've got the chimp bending his elbow out of stress ^^

[Swede]

27. It's called a killer hangover.

[Zen Democrat]

29. Maybe he's coked up.

[Carni]

39. YES! I noticed that!

His whole back was drenched! YUK!

[liveoaktx]

60. I HAD to make that into a video clip

Sweaty Bush

What's funny is that even the large man in front looks cool as a cucumber.

incidentally, here's what Olbermann said about the OBGYN comment from the RNC

Bush OBGYN at RNC

[michigandem2]

7. I was laughing hysterically....what an idiot....

[slor]

9. Please explain...

I missed it.

[Flubadubya]

16. Have a look for yourself... here's the clip...

http://www.atrios.blogspot.com/

[MichiganVote]

17. Olberman played the clip at the close of his show

[Shopaholic]

19. Keith ran the clip twice. . .

the show repeats at midnight Eastern. It's worth staying up for or setting your VCR for. It's hysterical!

[Glenda]

67. Thank you I taped it. I watched it. LOLOL

I'm now a fan of Keith O. Time to send him an email.

Glenda

[canuckybee]

20. and that huge laugh from someone off camera

That was so genuine and unscripted. I mean, how could anyone not pee their pants laughing at that one?????

[MichiganVote]

21. We need to spread this one around everywhere

Come on ladies. This one is ours. email, blogs, shovel it out!

[Democrat 4 Ever]

22. Oberman is the man -

Oberman is the one who ran the clip of Bush and his posse at the ranch before the convention. Bush was rambling on about something (who listens?) and just behind him, in plain view of the camera - the whole time Bushie is talking - there is Barney, the stage prop dog, taking a dump. I prefer to think of it as Barney making his own political statement about that dude. Oberman ran it four times that night in an one hour show.

OBGYN can't love the women? Think Bush is trying to give a subblimimimal message to Laura?

[Cha]

28. Wonder what the Obgyners think about bush's

"help"? And why did he choose that particular kind of Doctor to make a statement about "frivolous" lawsuits?

[lakemonster11]

62. second time

It's the second time he's singled out OBGYNs. He specifically mentioned them in his acceptance speech at the RNC last week.

My guess is that he singles them out because he thinks it gives him points with women, though I don't know why it would. I personally find it creepy.

What I think is so disturbing about this gaffe/Freudian slip is that it shows that when he thinks about OBGYNs his mind immediately jumps to "love" (read: sex?) rather than medicine. It shows that he thinks about women as sex objects rather than as human beings like him.

[MichiganVote]

37. For sure. Their favorite porn movie, Dr. Strangelove

[VOX]

64. Agreed. He is the best out there right now...

:kick:

[AnnInLa]

24. I just emailed Keith and hope you do too!

He's GOT TO BE trolling our board, looking for ideas for stories! He's the only broadcaster who routinely presents stories about the things we spout off about here. I loved his story on the polls ---- why weren't other news casts doing that perspective instead of regurgitating the parties' talking points???? CNN is still reporting the 11 point lead with straight faces. From Keith's story, I now understand why Carville today was agreeing with the 11 points---Carville is one smart cookie!

[Cha]

31. Please enlighten me...why was Carville

"agreeing with the 11 points"?

[SidDithers]

36. Their internal polls must be much closer to even...

and when the published polls reflect this, it will look as if Boosh has lost 11%.

Sid

[Cha]

42. Aha! Thanks!

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

25. Proctologists want to practice their love too - - all across America

Why is Bush neglecting the noble calling of the proctologist, who has so much love to give?

[MoonRiver]

40. ROFL!

Man those procs must feel really slighted right now. :D

[HarveyBriggs]

26. The clip needs some Barry White music (nt)

[Gin]

33. watch it here too...........the man is toooo much..

http://mywebpages.comcast.net/atrios/bushlove.wmv

[restorefreedom]

34. for everything else, there's mastercard.....

Cost of ob-gyn malpractice premium: approximately $250,000

Cost of a visit to a gynecologist: approximately $150

Hearing Shrub say

"now ob-gyn's will not be able to practice their love of women"

on national television: PRICELESS

[Clinton Crusader]

47. bwa ha ha ha ha ha

:kick:

[markus]

38. KO loves to catch the GOP out in lies and make fun of them

A few weeks ago, on the Swifties charge that Kerry had stage managed his wounds and medals in Vietname" "nice of the viet cong to help out with the sharpnel".

He may not be everyone's idea of a journalist. But I came from the old "comfor the afflicted, afflict the comfortable" school.

He is the Real Deal.

[grasswire]

41. I suspect this slip....

...is due to some smutty joke his dad shared with him. We KNOW what they talk about.

[Glenda]

43. Keith mentions it in his blog too...

and says that * mentioned OB/GYNs in acceptance speech too?


http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5660340/

"Too many good docs are getting out of the business," he told the Labor Day rally "Too many OB/GYN's aren't able to practice their love with women all across the country."

KO: "Wow. I didn't know the crisis was that bad."

[MoonRiver]

46. Welcome to DU Glenda!

DU has soooo much fun when we get a fresh bushism! It's the gift that keeps on giving! :D :hi:

[enigmatic]

55. Welcome!

Good to have you here!

[procopia]

49. good material for an ad

A very effective anti-bush ad would be a montage of this and other clips, like the "fool-me-once" clip, and there are a couple from the Letterman show, like his wiping his glasses on a lady's jacket. There must be tons of them.

Or would that be too mean?

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

53. I hope it wouldn't encourage people to vote for Bush

on the basis of the prospective hilarious entertainment value that four more years would represent, from the world's number one laughing stock.

[restorefreedom]

50. Keith Olbermann is the only

mainstream anchor willing to take this administration on -

for real.

Thanks, Keith!

[BootinUp]

51. He worked at Faux and has seen the enemy close up.

Way to go Keith! :)

[redstateblues]

54. He does it with humor- very effectively

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

56. Years ago, Olbermann did local sports coverage on CBS in Los Angeles

He came on after the weather and was the sports coverage anchor for KCBS-TV in Los Angeles. He also had a local 30 minute Sunday night show recapping the week in sports. He's always had a very wacky, weird, and intelligent sense of humor. It was always clear that he was far more intelligent than the average sportscaster meathead.

[Spazito]

52. I think this bushism tops all the previous ones!

It it hilarious! Geez, I hope it can be used somehow, somewhere in an ad, it is toooo priceless to waste!

[sampsonblk]

57. Excellent piece

Devastating unexplainable ridiculous quote. Thanks Keith!

[RevCheesehead]

61. Kind of explains Dan Quayle, don't it?

[Blue Gardener]

63. Gotta love Keith Olberman

If I'm not home for his show I tape it. Never know when he'll come up with something as perfect as the OB/GYN piece.

[lil-petunia]

65. Imus used the clip

He and crew could not stop laughing.

[Zynx]

66. I still can't stop laughing.
