Olbermann just tweeted the following

When I think of the embarrassing Bush*-delivered crap that the MSM praised to no end.... well, it does add some perspective.

I never thought him to be s schill but I think the expectation level on last night speech was set completely incorrectly.

A shill's a shill, no matter what they're shilling.

the 140 characters you're allowed on Twitter.

B-)

the same thing.

As you might have understood if you'd seen it when I posted it myself earlier.

and Rachel!

nor do I view Keith as a trained monkey. A trained money would take back his comments, but instead he apologizes and explains why he asserts his comments.

that's some hardcore backpedaling.

He bashed Obama's lame response to the situation and lame speech given to us.

Saying someone's smart and criticising something they do/say is not contradictory, no matter how much hair-pulling some of you do.

keep him afloat.

Except they don't.

and Democrats for the correct reasons. Democrats need Olbermann, Maddow, Schultz and O'Donnell to nag our conscious with the Truth whether we like it or not. Democrats are not perfect and we should take criticism from friends as our friends helping us to be better.

Obama's speech last night was one of his worse, but Obama's worse is still better than McCain's or Bush's best. Instead of saying he would inform BP to setup a fund, he should have said that he would DEMAND that BP setup a fund to start paying for the damage and ruin they are causing residents of the Gulf and to our nation. Obama last night still sounded like BP was still in charge. I also wanted to hear Obama say that the Federal government would take over cleaining the beaches and marshes, so that we can make sure the workers have proper haz mat clothing to protect them and training so they don't run amuck through bird nesting areas. Also, the Federal government should allow journalists to photograph and video tape the destruction BP has wrought in wild life. Seeing pictures of dead dolphins on a beach would to more to galvanize Americans from around the country to demand Congress create policies to get us off fossil fuels in 10 years or less.

Obama's speech was mostly lame, especially the stupid prayer part. There he was trying to mimic Saint Ronnie Reagan, who during his campaign he compared himself to. Maybe Obama is the Democratic Reagan. If so, we'll all be in trouble.

I liked his show last night. He said nothing that wasn't true.

Jon Steward had the correct take on the speech too last night. And, his show was filmed before it was given.

the very next morning, he makes you look like a complete ass by achieving what you said was impossible.

too much heat, not enough light by far, Mr. Olbermann

It's nice to have him on our side most of the time,
but he's not exactly Brain Trust material.

Rachel sounds a helluva lot smarter than Keith.

Fear not, Keith. I haven't stopped watching because he criticized last night's speech, I've stopped watching because you've become an annoying blowhard just like most of your colleagues. You and your colleague's instant analysis, predictions, and declarations has proven to be wrong in almost every instance.

Why would I keep watching someone who constantly tells me what to think and then almost always turns out to be wrong?

*Hillary Clinton is not President and did not even get the party's nomination
*Hillary didn't wreak havoc at the Democratic National Convention after losing the nomination (as Rachel assured us would happen)
*Rudy Guiliani didn't even come close to becoming the Republican Presidential nominee as predicted incessantly
*The stimulus plan has worked and continues to work
*The Fed did not need to take over banks in order to save the economy
*Health care reform is not dead. It's a law
*Blanche Lincoln is not toast. (good or bad, all of the MSM declarations about her were wrong)
*Sarah Palin is not a force to be reckoned with (unless you're a moose). She's an idiot who gets airtime from you idiots
*The teabaggers did not derail healthcare, or anything else

I'm sure they are tons of other brilliant declarations and analysis that I haven't included, but you get the picture.

I'm not sure if it's the 20 billion or if it's audience response.

As for everything you said in your text---I agree 100% as always. :pals:

Great list!

during the primaries. Haven't looked back since (except for the show he did on health care - I watched a repeat over that weekend). Blowhard is a perfect word.

The only one I watch is Rachel and I will also give Lawrence O'Donnell a chance.

or Is this post the 20 billion announcement?! Cause I think crow gave him indigestion.

While they were trying to piss on him,
Obama snuck around and caught them all with their pants down.

;)

-some who doth protest too much.

methinks, you haven't even read Hamlet

I disagreed with his reaction to the speech but there are many things on Countdown He Is right on.

With news Obama has gotten BP to put a 20 Billion fund to help repair their areas Obama's ways were right.

His impression of Cenk Uygur was bad

...a lot. I think he reacted...as we did...as a person who has been immersed in this debate for a long time. He is very knowledgeable. That part of me was disappointed, too, in the speech.

But it wasn't given FOR us.


Keith Olbermann is a patriot. :patriot:

No one respects a sycophant.

Not on TV- nor on blogs or message boards.

As I said in another thread, if I wanted to watch someone have a conniption fit, I'd babysit my five year old niece...
