Dear Richard Wolffe, please tell Olbermann that you won't appear on his
show again with bouncing Rush at the corner. This is very annoying and Olbermann clearly is not persuaded by viewers.

Thanks.

1. I love the bouncing Rush. I think it's a hoot.
Few things are more effective than ridicule, and the Bouncing Rush is ridicule at its finest.

2. I want a bouncing rush for a screen saver
But I think I'd like an arm waving rush even better.

4. I think it's funny
But Wolfe clearly wasn't amused.

5. It was very distracting
Most of the time I half listen, and scan newspapers or doing sudoku. But today I was watching and it was very distracting. Our TV is only, what 27" or so and with Olbermann and Wolfe splitting the screen, there really was no room for that jiggling lard.

17. +1.
The only difference between what I would have written and that Question Everything did is that our TV is 32". I half-listen, read the paper or do Sudoku too, and the bounding Rush annoyed the shit out of me - so much so that I changed the channel.

7. I think Keith should play the Bouncing Mediaterrorist upside-down.
I want to see the Bouncing Mediaterrorist keep hitting his head
:rofl:

8. Bouncing Rush reminds me of "Scary Vision"...
Edited on Wed Jun-10-09 10:05 PM by LooseWilly
The South Park Halloween special once upon a time with Bette Midlers framing the screen.

:evilgrin:

10. I love the bouncing Rush because I know it makes real Rush insane. I wish
it was there for the whole hour.

11. I'd like "Bouncing Rush" replaced with "Exploding Rush" a la The Meaning of Life.

20. I rarely watch Olbermann these days
but I thought that after what happened, I wanted to hear his perspective which was great, about our domestic terrorists and about the initial memo, warning about that from the the Dept. of Homeland Security.

And then I stuck around and thought that, OK, Wolffe may be interesting to listen, too. Also, Olbermann is the only place where I see clips from Fox (and Jon Stewart) so was interesting to see how they handle it. And, as I pointed on another post, usually I just listen, not watching but this time I did and the bouncing image was very distracting, so distracting that I don't even remember what Wolffe was saying..

14. Looked like a Mini Me
The suits matched too closely, so it gave a kind of weird image of Wolfe speaking about serious matters while the little Mini Me Rush was bouncing around in his pocket. It didn't look appropriate, and it looked as though Wollfe was not amused.

I agree, the bouncing Rush should not be featured in every segment.

15. I was watching that tonight, with the CC on because I was running on the
treadmill with my headphones on. It was more amusing than you can imagine watching Rush bounce around to "Picture Me Rollin'". Rush groovin' on some Tupac. I almost fell off the treadmill. :)

21. Yes, funny, if one is not interested in what is actually being discussed
and yesterday I expects serious, somber, discussions.

24. I can focus on a conversation without be distracted by a fat bouncy man.
I don't know how that little fat bouncy boy in the corner of the screen could distract someone so much they couldn't follow the conversation.
