Keith Olbermann in a Minute

What? You watch CNN at 8 PM? You fool. It's 2008 and MSNBC is where it's at. We dare you not to "Olbermann" after you watch this.

Good job! And a clever pre-emptive strike. Better for you guys to put together a segment that is witty, fun and extremely well-crafted, before KO's enemies could patch together something, dull, ordinary and poorly produced. A big thank you for that!

That was right on, but he seems more like the type that would have you make him egg white omelets after a night of doing unseemly nasty things to you. I"m not saying that"s a bad thing¦¦
Go Keith and Rachael too!

this was botched

1. you forgot his 'worst persons in the world' segment. A montage of how many times he mentions Bill O and Rove back and forth would of been perfect.

2. the counting of the days since the mission accomplished banner was not mentioned ONCE, yet he does it in every episode.

3. you should of ended with him throwing his crumbled up piece of paper at his camera

We were focusing on our favorite part of KO's show, "Special Comment," but thanks for the love!

Who knew there were so many Olbermann apologists out there. Or losers like me who think other people care what I think. Anyway, Olbermann is a class-A tool, just like the rest of his cable "news" ilk. Just b/c Maddow is calmer, doesn't make her someone to take seriously. The anchortainment (236's term, and a great one) industry is just hideous all around. Thanks 236 for pointing out that pretty much everyone sucks. Including me.

So now that you guys were on Olbermann, and will inevitably become increasingly popular I have to go around and say "I liked their earlier stuff" and/or "they ain't what they used to be" like I do with every Indie rock band that eventually get their video on MTV? Nothing against you guys, I'm just a latte sipping elitist like that.

Congrats! You got Keith's attention. He seemed to be good spirited at least, lol.

Nice grammar BRENDAN

You know, in your criticism of Olbermann, accusing him of sounding like Bill O'Reilly, you end up sounding more like O'Reilly than he does. Limousine liberals? $50 martinis? Your faux-populist outrage sounds even more contrived THEN when multi-millionaires on FOX and talk radio do it.

Well, either Keith or someone on his staff read 23/6 and enjoyed this enough to put it on Countdown.

keith oblerman is one of the best minds we have amidst us. The first time I saw a debate moderated by MSNBC during the democratic primaries, I became an ardent fan of keith. And till date I don't miss anything watching the minute I see his face. And your attempt at whatever you are trying to do with him has reinforced my admiration for him. He is one of the voices that consistently tries to keep the political sanity alive in us. Thanks keith !

OK, it isn't heard to make Keith look like a jerk. But I dare you to try the same thing with Rachel Maddow.

Hard. It isn't hard, not heard. Great, now I look like the jerk...

You know, I like Keith. I feel like he's the kind of guy who would spank you and then cuddle after, as long as you made him eggs in the morning.

Yes, yes, yes, Keith. You were a life saver and the only voice of reason for me this election cycle and you've won a fan forever because of it. I TiVo your show every day. Keep up the great work, and by the way, thanks for giving us Ms. Maddow too!

I happened to like Olbermann. Its a fresh approach, fresh in a sense that its not Rush, Hannity, or O'Reily telling you what you should be scared of and who is to blame from a Right POV. Olbermann tells me what to be scared of and who is to blame from a leftist standpoint all ordered with extra drama!

LOVE IT!!!!!!! I have been preaching about what a self-important, "spoiled rich kid all grown up" this guy is for years and finally everyone else is catching on. Olbermann and Kornheiser are the only two people I can think of whose voices and subsequent "deliveries," can make me disagree with them even IF I AGREE with them. KO, I think you are smart, and I may like what you say a lot more than what Bill O. says, but you come off as just as much of a jerk as he is, and what really sucks is you probably don't give a crap how you come across. There in lies the problem for limousine liberals like yourself. Let me know what a $50.00 martini tastes like. I bet it tastes good while you thumb through the Atlantic Monthly in East Hampton.
