Anatomy Of A Meltdown

[TheSarge]

KO is seriously losing it:



It appears that Keith Olbermann might be vying for the title of Most Obnoxious Anchor On Television. First we had Olbermann dissing Joe Scarborough during a live broadcast on Monday from the Democrat convention. Then a day later, Olbermann managed to enrage Chris Matthews during another broadcast. And now it looks like Olbermann is going for broke in the insult department by pushing to have Tom Brokaw banned from appearing on MSNBC as reported in Page Six of today's New York Post:

At a forum on Sunday, when Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell called MSNBC "the official network of the Obama campaign," Brokaw said, "I think Keith has gone too far. I think Chris has gone too far."

Insiders say Olbermann is pushing to have Brokaw banned from the network and is also refusing to have centrist Time magazine columnist Mike Murphy on his show.

It would appear that Keith is trying to take over MSNBC:

And on top of it all he's gone on his blog at Kos and bragged about getting Dan Abrams fired

its amazing to see isn't it ? All of the moonbat talking heads get to this point sooner or later - They really do believe their own hype. And when it comes down that they may have gone too far, they go even farther. Usually far enough to cost them their job.

It gets better.  I took a look at the OlbermannWatch.com site and discovered this little nugget:

UPDATE: And so it begins. Olbermann's blog has launched a petition to fire Joe Scarborough. Keith's Kos kolleagues are hard at work trying to figure out how they can implement King Oralmann's plan to rid MSNBC's airwaves of impure political thoughts:

Do a little investigative work on Joe's background to see what drives the man. There's probably a few skeletons hidden there.
Who killed Joe Scarborough's secretary in Joe's office might be a start.

It's very possible that Scarborough is a heavy drinker, uses drugs, and has extramarital affairs (unless he's impotent). He might cheat on his taxes and hire illegal aliens to do his yardwork and watch his kids. I have no evidence at all of any of that but I've seen the pattern in that type.

Rachel Maddow from Air America fills in for Keef when he's not on the air.  MSNBC gave her Dan Abram's show after they fired him. 

[TheSarge]

It just goes to show how much How much Tim Russert held the D.C./Political bureau together.

This crap wouldn't have happened were he still alive.


Olby is trying to make a power play.

Like NBC would ever fire Tom Brokaw....

He's a news icon for heaven's sake.

If he's brazen enough to get the Managing Editor of MSNBC fired...if he's bold enough to put a petition like the one I linked to on line and then get Kos to do his dirtywork for him...what's to say that Brokaw won't be fair game as well.

NewsBusters has already doccumented where he's unhappy about not getting the Meet The Press Job.

THAT'S the chick that went after mccain on monday night's convention coverage on PMSNBC for using his captivity as a POW as a political issue.  it was shrill, hysterical, completely incorrect . . . and it was cheered by the convention goers in the background    (the whole scene sorta resembled college gameday on ESPN, as a matter of fact.  just fewer drunks, but many more raving lunatics  ).

and he used to be so damn funny on ESPN !

too bad !

Yep, and the nomination of Barack Hussein Obama just reinforces Keith's delusion that he's a kingmaker that's out to avenge the evil deeds of GWB. 

I'm going to stay away from these people until after the election is over, they'll just become more unhinged than ever with time. I've called the show "Meltdown with Keith Olbermann" for years now, and bad ratings tend to make the show even worse somehow.

[Uhhuh35]

He was considered for that job? No way! Well, maybe if they changed the name to "Meet the Moonbats" it'd work.

[Splashdown]

What a joke that guy is, to think he matters.

He's a two-bit pundit on a less-than-two-bit show. He'd have a bigger audience if he stood on top of a park bench with a bull horn in Central Park. He's got quite an overinflated opinion of himself, I'd say.

[Hawkgirl]

It's only a matter of time before he gets fired....As left leaning as MSNBC is...if they start losing sponsors(ya know, the evil corporations)...they'll lose him faster than NBC dumped IMUS.

I read something the other day that said something to the effect that MSNBC is correct for going hard left and should find advertisers who agree with them.

Yet another example of Olbermann's deteriorating mental health (video at link):

Few Republicans have made it onto MSNBC air during the network's Dem convention coverage, but even that is apparently too much for Keith Olbermann.  As Chris Matthews was interviewing GOP consultant Mike Murphy in the interlude between Bill Clinton and Joe Biden tonight, Olbermann could be heard off-camera angrily demanding "let's wrap him up, alright?"

Yes. She's an admitted flaming bull dagger lesbo, so she's also a beloved icon at the DUmp.

Wasn't Ubermound preening in front of the cameras a few years back claming he was so dangerous o Bush's nefarious neocon plots that it was only a matter of time before he used his newly acquired powers to declare people and groups terorists that surely he was on his way to Gitmo as a political prisoner?

Ah-h-h-h liberals...

...they'll run around for years on end claiming the evil neothuglicans are mere days away from taking them off the air and locking them up so the only thing to do about it is to pre-emptively excommunicate anyone to the right of Abbey Hoffman.
