Keith Olbermann "Campaign Comment" On Palin: Are You Smarter Than A Third-Grader? (VIDEO)

Tonight Keith Olbermann, alarmed that his "Special Comments" were occurring with such frequency that they were no longer special, offered a "Campaign Comment" about Sarah Palin's continued confusion over the role and powers of the Vice President. The comment was titled, "Are you smarter than a third-grader?"

wish someone would ask her where she read the VP job description, she's said this on camera at least four times now, why won't anyone call her on it? Would love to see her squirm on that one

[4wehttam]

Love love LUUUUUUUVVVVVV Keith.

[janinei]

I am so glad to hear it, me too. And I just found out he is a Unitarian! How cool is that! xoxox Keith

[dansup]

If I thought I needed a religious outlet in my life (which I do not), that would be the one

[dzwis]

While it's good to be on the "winning team" (so long as Obama/Biden crosses the finish line first), Keith's comments have helped make this election cycle a LOT of fun .... I'm thoroughly enjoying this!!

[iRob08]

Listening to Palin makes me just want to scream mother f****r!!! WTF is she talking about?!?

[MsCanadian]

I just love Keith's comments! How can you argue with the truth? I will be so glad to see Palin go home!

Vote Obama!

[conservjeff]

Rejoice in the relentless attacks on Sarah. While Joe the idiot Biden can say what ever he wants make up things that don't even resemble reality and people like you say go Joe. When that big test comes in the first 6 months will you still say vote Obama? Then it will be to late. The US will be diminished and our enemies empowered.

[Albertabunny]

I hate to tell you this - the U.S. is already diminished thanks to the past eight years and your enemies unfortunately are empowered. The ENTIRE WORLD is holding its breath and hoping that sanity prevails in your country by electing Obama/Biden. The war mongers have had their day - its time for a generational change, a rise to a higher level of intellectualism, and for someone to lead that will restore the good name of democracy.

[ActWrite]

Bravo, Keith!! I will give Palin this much - thanks to her we're all learning about the Constitution!!!
...and I'm feeling like we ARE the "smart kids" noone credited us for being in school!
I'm going to go to work tomorrow and make up my own job description which will include wardrobe and makeup expenses and gettin' in there with the CEO and makin' some really good policy changes.
I'll keep you posted on how that works out for me.

sound ridiculous? wanna get away?

[ejackson21st]

Palin might want to use this as her first State of the Union Address. I hope she gives you proper credit for your inclusive insight. (There may be a few too many big words in it that she will need to make more "real" for the patriotic Americans to understand.)

Funny also...

[Elisa78]

LOL!! This is so painful it's funny. People that are voting for McCain/Palin, God help you all.

[Dynamohum]

She accused Gwen Ifill of a lame attempt at a joke because she asked about what the Vice President does? What a dumb bi otch!!! Unbelievable. This is not playing make believe. Maybe she could be the President of Barbieland. SARAH FLAILIN FAILIN PALIN. My question is - Did she buy her Bachelor's degree? Online? hahahahaha

[Zingaro Zorro]

President of Barbieland, Reign of the Good Ship Lollipop?

Palin is nothing more than McCain's inflatealbe fantasy doll.

[vdub4]

keith olbermann, will you marry me? xo

[bemusedcanadian]

No!! I saw him first!! Keith, marry me and come to Canada! I'll make you so happy

[americanalien]

NOW Y'ALL UNDERSTAND WHY WE CALL KEITH A NATIONAL HERO.

THE GUY'S A GENIUS!

WE LOVE YOU KEITH!!

[orlfladian]

I cant believe what I just read. Anyone who thinks KO is a genius is no one of intellect.

[orlfladian]

You can prob go blog with him on the Daily Kos

[HoraceOvidson]

Keith, Keith, you are being to harsh on sweet Sarah. By taking over the Senate and mixing it up in there to get some darn good policy, she would be a maverick. And that's the important thing. Remember, whenever you are trying to figure out what to do, ask yourself: What would a maverick do, and then do that. Whenever you are trying to figure out how to answer a question, ask: How would a maverick answer the question, and then answer the question that way. Everybody just needs to be a little more mavericky. (ooh, that didn't quite pass the spell check)

[rpr]

Yes, and she wears such nice clothes. And she winked at me!
Who are you, Keith, to complain about such a nice person!

[Chrysalis08]

Palin is a classic example of the Peter Principle. According to several Alaskan friends, she peaked at Weather Reporter.

Isn't there a theory that one could sit a chimpanzee in front of a keyboard and he would eventually type actual words in a short sentence? Palin just spews out a veritable stream of bafflegab -- and evidently she hopes that there is an sentence in there somewhere. (Forgive me if this looks as if I am maligning chimpanzees.) We could celebrate Palin's comic presence in this campaign -- If it weren't for her, this race might be a bit too close for comfort.

[magicwanz]

Only a real artist can balance such intense outrage with eloquence as does Kieth.

[mzmodel]

L0L
yupp, he's got style. =]

Palin is soo special - every interview she just fails and comes up below average.
I mean, I want my presidential candidate to be able to answer questions clearly and directly. Even if its the worst idea known to mankind.

What America DOES NOT need now is more confusing answers to very important questions.
Bush has put us through as much as we can take [even as far as making up words not known to the English language]

[rpr]

I'm amazed at how fast he talks with rarely a stumble. They must have tuned up the teleprompter for him.
His outrage is sometimes a little over the top, as if there'd be steam coming out of his ears any second. But at least he stays coherent and doesn't devolve into a ramble.

[DebbieinPhx]

Maybe we should all start making our own unRobo calls. We could all of the hopelessly clueless Rethuglicans in our lives..you know who I’m talking about--all the clueless wonders that you know personally who are still committed to voting for McCain. The scenario is we call each and every one of them&congratulate them, as their candidate has just garnered an endorsement from a very big, VERY well-known organization... Al Qaeda. I envision it going like this(your best Micky Mouse impersonation):

Hellllooo my lame, clueless (neighbor, brother, ex-husband):

I am just giving you a courtesy call to personally congratulate you and to say, “Well done on your intended selection of our next President! This is a special congratulation due to the HUGE new endorsement McCain has garnered from...Ta-Dah! : Al Qaeda! Yes, Al Qaeda has gladly endorsed John McCain because he is seen has the best way to ensure the fruition of all their goals: the ruination of the United States. Yes, to their way of thinking John McCain is the candidate that will undoubtedly GUARANTEE the complete and utter demise of the United States through all of his endless wars and continued rapacious pursuit of Global dominance through the Bush Doctrine. His wars will spark continued global hatred towards the U.S., while decimating American financial markets. He will affect the CHANGE Al Qaeda wants so badly, so he has their full endorsement. So Kudos! seriously. Niiice choice!

(Remember: Be PERKY & Upbeat!)

[notb observer]

Debbie, be very very quiet and keep this on the DL, but here's what's really happening...
The Al Qaeda endorsement was anticipated by McCain. Remember he said in the 2nd debate he knew how to get Bin Laden ? Well, this is the first part of his cunning plan starting to come together.
As we speak, McCain is sending "invitations" for everyone who endorsed his campaign to join him at a gala dinner on board his secret yacht (USS Mav'rick) now conveniently moored off the coast of Pakistan. Bin Laden will get his invitation via Al Jezeera TV. When Bin Laden shows up, instead of a gala dinner, he will have been fooled into a trap !
Sarah Palin will then pop out of a cake dressed as a belly dancer, and she will send Bin Laden into a comatose state with her mindless ramblings.
Once Bin Laden is incapacitated, he will be spirited away to Gitmo and John McCain will win the election and of course, claim the reward for his capture. He will use the reward money to pay off Sarah's clothes, divorce his wife, make Todd Palin the President of a newly independent Alaska, and then he and Sarah will live happily ever after in the White House as the first married President and Vice president in history.
Remember, don't let anyone else know about this. Everything is going according to plan !

This is book style material. Very good. Ever think about writing a book? This is serious, ok?
