Kieth Olberman is the 2nd best show on TV

[Hamlette]

after Jon Stewart.

Tonight's show, if you get a chance to see it, is what news should be. He is telling our side of the story.

edited for dumb spelling error/typo.

[Ghetto_Boy]

5. Keith sucks but not as much as "BUSH SUCKS"

[LostInAnomie]

14. I smell a troll...

...trying to get their post numbers up.

[seabeyond]

24. kieth has held up nushites talking points to the world

how can this man suck. he started calling on bushies before anyone

[Hamlette]

7. sorry, I should have been more specific.

He's on right after Chris Matthews Hardball twice a night. He's on here again at 10 Mountain time.

Tonight he had a great interview with Franken, you can tell he likes Franken and Franken was hysterical. Before that he did a bit on the Swift Boat stuff and showed what liars they are. Can't remember all of it as I was doing a couple of other things at the same time, but I'll be watching again tonight at 10.

8. I agree absolutely

and I keep sending him emails...I am an Olberman groupie. And a Jon groupie.

[Zhade]

9. Eh.

I've read a lot of praise around here for him, so I checked him out. Didn't seem all that. Certainly no rightwing shill, but not all that daring or exploratory in his work.

Maybe I caught him on a couple of bad days?

[girl gone mad]

10. I tivo countdown..

every night.

glad I have tivo, because he talks so fast.

[Shopaholic]

19. and [email protected]

Keith rocks. He is just the best. I adore him!

[AnnInLa]

12. and........

I loved the part tonight about the interpretation of the Zogby poll, how, if the election were held tonight, Kerry would win the electoral vote....with the numbers almost exactly the same as before the Swift Boat Tin Foil Head Vet controversy.

[Cha]

15. First I heard of that ...that great news!

We're "weathering the storm"!

[Scairp]

13. A grammatical rule, oft forgotten

It's "I before E except after C". K?

[roguevalley]

16. he's getting a blog shortly. I can't wait. bloggermann.

[Hamlette]

17. not to nit pick but it's a spelling rule, not a grammatical rule

(sorry, couldn't help myself)

Yes, the part about the polls was GREAT. The guy from the LATimes was definately "on our side".

[Generator]

18. Yes!

It's been the best show I've seen on cable to nail Mr. Bunnypants for some time. And tonight, I wish all of DU had seen it and seen Kerry calling Mr. Bunnypants out for the flip flopper that he is over all the things that really matter from 9/11 on. Rarely am I disapointed in this show cutting to the heart of it.

[Shopaholic]

20. Who woulda thunk

that the best two political shows out there would be hosted by a comedian and an ex-sportscaster?

BTW--I've got to send props to my man Bill Maher too. Jon, Keith, and Bill are the best we've got. :grouphug:

[chieftain]

21. I Agree , But

Deborah Norville is doing some great work too .

[The Hair in my Nose]

27. Deborah Norville is largely unwatched too...
