MATT DRUDGE - Blasts OLBERMAN - Says He's Is - A 'PHONEY' & "Complete & Utter Camp"!

[kpete]

Internet Gossip Monger Matt Drudge Blasts Olbermann As A ‘Phony’
On his Sunday night radio program, Matt Drudge blasted Keith Olbermann as a “phony,” calling him “complete and utter camp.”

Drudge — the operator of the right-wing pseudo news site Drudge Report — was talking about the Venezuelan government’s shutdown of the country’s oldest private TV station when he veered the discussion into a hit piece on Olbermann. “When we start hearing that the National Guard is seizing television stations, alright then I’m on board,” Drudge said. “Then I’m on board, Olbermann. Until then, it’s all pancake, makeup, and Edward R. Murrow ‘good night and good luck’ and…complete and utter camp.”

“What’s being peddled over there at MSNBC” is “phony — phony lights, phony music, and everything there,” said Drudge, an Internet gossip who frolics in “the most salacious aspects of American politics.”

Transcript:

DRUDGE: When we start hearing that the National Guard is seizing television stations, alright then I’m on board. Then I’m on board, Olbermann. Until then, it’s all pancake, makeup, and Edward R. Murrow good night and good luck and all… you know. Camp. Camp! That’s the right word to describe what’s being peddled over there at MSNBC. Complete and utter camp.

OLBERMANN (voice over): “Good night and good luck.”

DRUDGE: And some people are taking it seriously because they think it’s on TV so it has to be real. Please. And then they take off the hair, they take off the teeth, and they peel the face off — and then it’s you know, it’s all this phony — phony lights, phony music, and everything there.

1. a guy who wears a hat like Drudge does shouldn't be talking camp n/t

[DS1]

2. I do think the "Good night, and good luck" is a bit much

but Drudge can still KMA

[Forkboy]

29. I agree,though it does fit our times.

Still,as cool as K.O. is,he isn't of Murrow's quality.That's no knock on Keith,just the truth.

3. Who is Matt Drudge?

He sounds like a loser.

[otohara]

22. As Much As I Loath HIm

he has one of the busiest sites out there for republican's

[xultar]

4. BUHWAWAWA!

[txindy]

5. Aw, Sludge is feeling ignored.

As he should be. Poseur.

[spanone]

6. I shit matt drudge

[gatorboy]

7. I'm shocked...SHOCKED!

When did it come to this? They were such great friends....

[malaise]

8. Oh well he's looking for some attention to

increase his viewers. How vulgar. Don't read, won't read.

[Catherine Vincent]

9. Drudge wants Olbermann to start continously naming him "worst person of the world".

His ratings have been slipping for a while now. No more blue dresses. He needs the attention. :)

[Spazito]

15. Exactly! He has NO hope in hell, he isn't worth spit, imo

Olbermann wouldn't waste one second on this loser, at least he sure shouldn't, drudge's 15 minutes of "fame" are long over, imo.

[Norquist Nemesis]

18. DING DING DING!!! Drudge is desperate for some free press

KO mentioning him offers free publicity; KO responding to him lends credibility--and he has ZERO in that department.

[Forkboy]

31. I do believe you've got it!

:thumbsup:

[Marr]

10. I'm not surprised that man like Drudge doesn't recognize patriotic outrage when he sees it.

He's been selling fake outrage and friendly fascism for years. The man is a traitor to everything this country stands for- it makes sense that he doesn't get it.

[librechik]

11. jealous much, Matt?

stfu, you head-copped RW tool.

[Neecy]

12. hahahahahahahahaha

Matt Drudge calling anyone camp is beyond funny.

Maybe he's got a crush ;)

[devilgrrl]

13. So says the Walter Winchell wanna-be

:eyes:

[mitchum]

36. Yes, but Drudge is actually more Hedda Hopper than Walter Winchell

[durablend]

14. "Phony lights" ?!?!?

Doesn't Matt Sludge put up that flashing beacon for every non-story he puts up on his site?

[madinmaryland]

16. I think he's actually talking about Fox Noise...

“What’s being peddled over there at Fox Noise” is “phony — phony lights, phony music, and everything there,”

IDIOT!!

[gratuitous]

17. How's your TV show doing, Matt?

Oh, that's right.

[Jack Rabbit]

19. Now this is rich

Does Drudge have any sense of irony?

[underpants]

21. Does Drudge still go around wearing that fedora?

Wow talk about trying desperately to add some relevance to yourself.

[LSK]

20. typical BASELESS insults from the right

TYPICAL.

[samq79]

23. Obviously Olbermann hits a nerve with his wildly popular show...

Why else would the hotline phone on Drudge's desk buzz, the voice of Turdblossom telling him to torpedo Keith as the latest target of Darth Rove's propaganda disinformation campaign.

[Bitwit1234]

24. That from the "egg man"

The guy who takes raw eggs, rubs them all over himself, scrapes them off and then invites his men friends to breakfast to eat the omelets.

Hell now we can take that guy seriously, can't we.....this was all over the internet some time ago.

[blogslut]

25. Hey Matt!

Got eggs? :)

[Flubadubya]

26. Drudge has just been dying to be KO's "Worst Person in the World"...

so he decides to pick a fight with Keith. I hope Olbermann simply ignores him... it would be what Drudge deserves. :evilgrin:

[blondeatlast]

32. Yep--best thing for KO to do is to completely ignore him.

I'd love to see Fedora pick up his useless criticism while Olbermann refuses to acknowledge his existence! :rofl:

[Beelzebud]

27. Drudge is pulling a Glen Beck and trying to ride Keith's coat-tails.

[blondeatlast]

28. Jealous much, hat guy? What a maroon! nt

[Forkboy]

30. That's like being called dog puke by dog shit.

He's one to talk... :eyes:

[trumad]

33. Actually Drudge longs for Keith's loins.

[BlooInBloo]

34. And Drudge continues to rule DU's world. At least The View is mostly gone.

[mitchum]

35. Drudge is camper than a row of tents

Sounds like Hedda Hopper is a wee bit jealous of Olbermann's fame

[orleans]

37. i guess matt & i have a different defination of the word "camp" n/t
