Keith Olbermann To Jon Stewart: 'I Told You So!' (VIDEO)


First Posted: 11/19/10 11:45 AM ET Updated: 05/25/11 07:15 PM ET

Keith Olbermann had a message for Jon Stewart Thursday night: "I told you so!"

Olbermann had semi-clashed with Stewart after Stewart's "Rally to Restore Sanity," saying he had "jumped the shark" and fighting back against what he described as Stewart's false equivalency between him and Fox News personalities.

Following up on Fox News chief Roger Ailes' interview with The Daily Beast, in which Ailes said Stewart is "crazy" and hates conservatives, Olbermann told Stewart he had warned him.

"Jon, I told you so!" Olbermann said. "I mean, I might disagree with you but I'd never think you were crazy or hateful...One side sticks to the facts, and the other side is close to playing with its poop."

The Olbermann dictionary - Fact: That which I declare to be so.

By that definition, I guess you're right Keith. And I guess that's why they threw you off Sports Center, and ABC, and oh yes, Sports Center again...

Michael Moore and Wendell Potter is making headline news on Keith Olbermann right now. If you're missing it, you're missing the biggest story in America right now. It's about the medical industry and their crimes against us and Michael's movie SICKO!

I am truly awe-stricken.

Sad thing is that Potter was on Countdown many times during the healthcare debate --
and what good did it do?

Somehow I doubt that Fox "News" devotees are being told that the insurance industry spent
80 million dollars to fight healthcare reform.

If we cannot use "Teabagger" (which so offends Jon Stewart), then they should never have
been allowed to get away with ObamaCare.

Everybody makes mistakes. When you can own up to them makes the difference. He apologized for his lies and misconceptions to all concerned, so he's telling the whole truth in his book and that is his way of atonement. Michael Moore was right and the country will now see just how cruel the right has been in trying to stop Obamacare for all. You might need it one day yourself so if I were you, I wouldn't be knocking it. You never know when illness might come knocking on your door.

I'm just glad the TRUTH is being told far and wide for a change in this country now. Hooray!

"Close to playing with its poop."

Olbermann stole that line from Maher.

He did not steal the line from Bill Maher. None of you trolls even watch Countdown. Olbermann
gave Maher credit for the line, which Maher used in his New Rules on the November 5 Real Time.

But do run to Olbermann Watch and list this as an example of Olbermann plagiarizing.
12:31 PM on 11/22/2010
Tro||? You best chigitty check yourself, son.
01:53 PM on 11/22/2010
He gave explicit credit to Maher in his monologue, the article misquotes him.

Keith wouldn't be on MSNBC if he didn't have an audience, especially considering that they had an out. I proudly watch Keith.

The truth must hurt, otherwise why bother. That's right, trolls.

Real quick on your last line there...

What if someone said that to you after you ranted on FNC...what would you say in response?

Aren't you paying attention?

The logical response would be "Yes, the truth hurts. But what the &#*&@#*** does that have to do with FNC?"

Or are you still worried about 'death panels', and Obama's "$200,000,000/day vacation to India", or 'communist veteran front organizations'?
