Thank God for Olbermann

[ksoze]

Nothing like 15 minutes of reality tv with Keith Olbermann to bring this race into focus. Tonight, Keith layed out the polling myths and continued his mission to take the BS out of the days stories. Is his show th eonly one showing the battlegroung numbers with Kerry ahead 10%. Too bad he was only on about half the show tonight, but it still keeps the flame alive.

(in a later story on the O'Reilly sex saga, he recalled getting fired by Fox and threatened if he spoke to the press)

1. Yep, great show tonight.

I love people who think rationally.

[Scoopie]

2. Amen

I didn't get to see the whole show (bedtime for my son), but will catch the replay later.
However, in the first 20 minutes that I got to see, Keith unspun the polls and produced a more relevant story on the soldiers who refused to take an unsafe mission.
Bless his heart!

NOTE: Keith will be on Leno tonight!!!

6. Olbermann was only on for about 20 minutes or so...

Scoopie,

You may have seen the best parts tonight...shortly after you left, some woman took over and then Keith returned to do the O'Reilly slam.

[Scoopie]

9. I still want to see the O'Reilly slam, though

3. When does Olbermann's show air?

I've caught it a few times but can't remember at what times. After reading a fine blog entry of his one day, I figured it might be a good idea to catch his show from time to time.

When does the show air on the west coast and when does it usually replay?

[spooky3]

5. welcome to DU, Hatalles; it's on at 8 PM EDT, not sure on west coast

13. AZ time (mine) which I believe jibes with Pacific now it airs at

5PM; repeating at 8.

[high density]

4. Thank God indeed

While CNN was hyping the polls as "OH MY GOD, BUSH HAS WON!!" Olbermann was on there with Lawrence O'Donnell saying that the polls showed a tie.

7. Olbermann's never been afraid of the Truth

Remember this is a guy that got up and left MSNBC during BJgate because he couldn't take the screaming talking heads type show. Notice now, he has one guest, asks questions and seldom talks over an answer.

His is the way Morrow and other used to do it.

8. I just sent an email to Matthews telling him Olberman was the rising star

and to enjoy his last two weeks

[Scoopie]

10. Hahahahahahahaha!

:yourock:

11. Naw Tweety's fun

Just needs to make a few course corrections and learn how to let people give an answer to his questions before asking another. A couple of weeks is right, but I'm thinking a dog training collar, one that give a shock at the press of a button, round his neck for that time.

Yup, 2 weeks of "Good Tweety, Good Tweety....Oops, Bad Tweety...ZZZZZT" should do it.

:evilgrin:

14. I love it!

[ksoze]

12. Anyone catch Keith say he thought WP would endorse Kerry?

CW seems to favor Bush.

[blondeatlast]

15. Yep, I heard that. nt

[CBHagman]

16. I'll believe it when I see it.

The Post has been in a nasty old state for years, aside from its knee-jerk Clinton hating. Still, there are some worthy people working there, and some do manage to tick off Bush regularly (Thank you, Dana Milbank and Tom Toles). I'll practically need David Broder to come to my apartment and tell me personally, though, before I'll believe it.

[xultar]

18. Noticed how Kerry was using the WP as a source in the 3rd debate?

And Chimpy was doin a mild rip on the WP because of it? Well I thought afterwards how they must feel screwed and abused after takin it every-which-way-but-loose for BushCo then gettin slammed cuz they only drank 99.9% of the BushCo kool-aid.

I hope WP does endorse kerry, or decline to endorse, I'll run through the streets stark ass neekid screamin hail to the theif and the theif is dead.
