Hypocritical Olbermann Finds It ‘Weird’ That Bush 41 Called Him ‘Sick Puppy’

Less than a week after likening conservative blogger Michelle Malkin to a “mashed-up bag of meat” on his Countdown show, MSNBC host Keith Olbermann on Monday called out former President George H.W. Bush for daring to call him and fellow MSNBC host Rachel Maddow “sick puppies,” as Olbermann described Bush’s words from a recent interview as a “weird term."

As he characterized Bush as being hypocritical for making the comment while denouncing the incivility in American politics, Olbermann accused Bush of helping to create the climate of incivility himself in 1988 with the Willie Horton ad, although the ad Olbermann was referring to which showed a photograph of Horton – and which Olbermann displayed images of – was produced by an independent group, the National Security Political Action Committee. The Bush campaign never used Horton’s image, but instead ran the “Revolving Door” ad attacking Michael Dukakis’s support for a prison furlough program.

MSNBC political analyst Richard Wolffe, formerly of Newsweek, came aboard to discuss the issue, and, as he seemed oblivious to Olbermann's history of name-calling and over-the-top attacks on conservatives -- such as indirectly calling Ann Coulter and Bill O'Reilly "dogs," making a crude joke comparing Sarah Palin to a pitbull, and even calling former President George W. Bush a "fascist" -- Wolffe defended Olbermann's history of attacking former President George W. Bush. Wolffe: "But it`s neither sick nor puppy‑like to point out that invading the wrong country, leading to unnecessary thousands of deaths isn`t actually just name-calling."

After contrasting Bush 43's governing style with that of his father, Wolffe soon continued: "His son took a wholly different path and created a whole ocean full of sick puppies."


"rules are for thee, not for meeeee."

Special Keith is the quintessential schoolyard bully.  He can dish it out, but he can't take it.

I'm not sure who I hate more, Olberman or Bob Beckel.  Hannity always has Bob on his show and each time, I want to punch the TV. :whatever:

Hi,

On that issue we agree.  My time need not be wasted by Beckel...

I would rather spend a day locked in a room with a bunch of sugared up 2 year olds than to listen to his voice

Olberdork is no bully, he'd be the kid getting sand kicked in his face all the time.
