Keith Olbermann tonight a must see - O'Reilly exposed

[TheWraith]

If you don't already watch Countdown with Keith Olbermann, you absolutely have to tonight, or trackdown a clip of the Bill O'Reilly segment online. Simply put, it's one of the greatest journalistic beat-downs since Edward R. Murrow took on Joe McCarthy.

37. whoops, I'm sorry

Meant to say "fried egg hanging from a nail." :)

[bettyellen]

4. and that's not even the weird part.

:hi:

[livvy]

20. Better be careful, or Maxine will get you. If not gravity certainly will!

LOL! From one gravity marked, old liberal lady.

[Barad Simith]

26. thanks for the link! (nt)

[JNelson6563]

31. A mighty fine ass-kickin'

One of the finest ever. :toast:

[Bake]

36. KO was on FIRE! Righteous!

Keith is generally somewhat light and funny, although still SHARP, with his BillO jabs. This time he was just plain righteously angry. I've never seen him so angry.

It was beautiful. A thing to behold. And savor.

5. Keith strikes again!

Olbermann is fantastic. O'Reilly will absolutely go nuts when he sees this.

[Berry Cool]

6. Yeah, my only question is, how is Fox gonna cover up this one?

They wiped the transcript of Bill's show of the offensive statements. We have proof.

There is video evidence of what Bill said...proof.

Keith has history on his side...proof.

How is Bill going to fight back on this? How is FOX going to fight back?

I fear it will be the only way they know how: swiftboat Keith.

That's what they do, you know, to people when truth is on their side.

[Catch22Dem]

10. They won't care because no one else cares

Plain and simple.

[stevedeshazer]

7. That was righteous. What a beatdown.

[Greyskye]

8. Wow!

I thought KO's head was going to explode from pure indignation!

SMACK!

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

9. transcripts or a summary please?

some of us can't play video at work

[Catch22Dem]

11. Check out bettyellen's link

It has a summary.

[OwnedByFerrets]

15. Keith just gets better all the time!! N/T

[ArnoldLayne]

12. I watched that Keith really tore Bill O'Liey

a new asshole which is what BO is.:kick:

[TheCentepedeShoes]

13. It was great!

KO ko'ed BO. Is that like a headline from "Variety?"

[Yoda Yada]

14. ...and KO sure got the cold shoulder...

...from Joe Scarborough when Olbermann transitioned to his show. If looks could kill.

Oh, I forgot.... Scarborough is one of the Hardball Hotshots on Friday. (Yes, that's what they call themselves.) They don't like Keith.:rofl:

[Kurovski]

16. Amazing.(nt)

[Kurovski]

17. self-delete

[johnnydrama]

18. tivo

My tivo must be progressive, because after recording KO for quite a bit now, I have never heard one word spoken from the person
after him.

Whether it's Rita or Joe, the recording ends before they can say 1 word.

Thank you Tivo.

[mogster]

19. Very good, Olbermann - K&R!

Here's the link to the story about Edward R. Murrow and Joe McCarthy. It deserves to be read again and again.
And so does Olbermann ;-)

22. The Sisyphus of morons! HAAAAAA HAAAAA HAAAA

Way to go Keith.

[PCIntern]

23. In my family, when Keith begins to inroduce

whoever is following him, invariably an asshole, one of us reaches for the remote. By the time, the Wingers face is going to appear, we're already elsewhere on the 'dial', as we used to call it in the prehistoric days.

[maine_raptor]

24. Too bad, cause Joe Scarblow's face was priceless.

Looked like he swallowed one hell of a sour lemon.

He knew:

1) he had to follow one of the great moments in the history of TV, and

2) Keith was right and had just bitch-slapped his hero and mentor.

[Hubert Flottz]

25. KO threw a big flat stone into some deep BILLSHIT!

And it will be the splash heard round the dial, I hope!

I wrote KO a thank you note!

27. I wonder why General Clark did not respond like Keith

How could he not have had a forceful response in both citations is amazing. It is inexcusable that he did not correct/reprimand the bloviator after the second incident.

[PCIntern]

28. I was thinking that myself...

he had the deer in the headlights look.

Could it BE that he didn't know? Even I knew that and I'm a moron (not moran).

[Nickster]

29. I thought about that too. I'm sure Gen. Clark knew it was horse hockey.

I can't believe a 4 Star Genl didn't know a significant piece of military history like that. I knew it myself and I was just a lowly enlisted man.

[kcwayne]

32. And he would certainly know it the second time it was thrown up

It is inconcievable that his staff did not educate him after the first incident, unless you assume the improbable that they are all morans.

[Nickster]

33. I seriously, seriously doubt he didn't know. Maybe he decided it was best

to let O'Liely look like an arse. I mean, think about it, Genl.Clark obviously is running for Pres again and he needs every avenue open to him media-wise. Does it make sense to beat up on O'Liely and have him shut you out? You know that Bill isn't going to admit anything at all and would just attack Clark forever. Maybe Clark figured it was best to let Bill speak and let the rest of us pummel him instead? Dunno....just a thought.

[kcwayne]

35. That would be the explanation for and DLC aligned Democrat

They seem to think that it is best to never stand up to Fascists. They forget the lessons of the Holocaust all to easily.

[NewJeffCT]

30. wow, was Keith outraged

It really looked like he could barely contain the bile.

[Strathos]

34. We should all write FAUX and let them know

how mad we are.

They respond to losing viewers quicker than anti-American slander by one of their own.

[Marr]

38. Is O'Reilly shameless or what? The part where he responds to the

email by saying, "I was talking about what happened *after* the massacre at Malmedy", in that smug voice. Such incredible bullshit.

The wormy- yet arrogant- deflection just makes it look worse.
