Did Keith Olbermann say anthing about that POS Dana Milbank tonight?
I've got company coming for dinner and I've not been able to watch the whole thing.

If not, we should write him since Dana appears on his show so often.

Thanks.

9. the paris/britney ad
and the John Weaver quote. Karl Rove. Not bad subjects, but it would have been nice to hear him broach the subject to one of the guests, even if they didn't do a full story about it.

5. Very, very. Maybe, just maybe, Abrams will take it up?
He's more critical of the m$m than KO is, but even if he does, he hasn't got the audience.

Really disappointing.

6. well, if you watch, tell me what happened.
For some weird reason, I can tolerate Brad Blakeman more than Tucker Carlson, and Tucker the fucker is on Abrams tonight.

12. No, he didn't. And Milbank must go. Not anti-Obama; inside-the-Beltway craphead.
Dana Milbank makes a great deal of money.

He strives every day to become David Broder: Inside the Beltway, rich, smug, and out of it.

He has no place on Keith's show. Americans' lives are all just a game to him.

15. yeah, I would care less if it was a negative article based on something true.
But the quote wasn't the only detail that the article fucked up on, and I think it was deliberate.

His atrocious column will be a dark spot in his career.

29. It's also a bad day for the rest of us, anytime we are subjected to his BS.
Milbank is worthless. Cut him free, Keith.

27. That defines Olbermann
About as much backbone as an Icee.

It would have been front and center and ridiculed throughout if someone removed from the program had similarly butchered Obama's remark.

28. Aww, come on, Milbank is one of Olbermann's favorite snicker-buddies.
How many other journalists can he find who'll join him in giggling like middle-school kids over whomever KO is having fun ridiculing?

32. Rachel Maddow touched on it on David Gregory's POS show
I can't find the transcript, but here's a snip from rapcetera at DailyKos:

<snip>

Then Pat Buchanan pulls out the Washington Post and starts to quote Dana Milbank (even though Rachel had stated earlier that Milbank's quote had been disputed by other credible sources all day)....so Pat starts to read the article (as if it were gospel)...You should have seen Rachel's face...normally Rachel waits until she gets her turn to speak but she just jumped in.
