R.I.P. Tony Snow

This is truly sad. My prayers go out to his family and friends.

Like, Ohhh Mygod! Not Thirty?

You really should see the latest wonderful reporting bonehead has done. It's like really not good.
She's a joke. And completely unrealistic. That had to have been the worst I have ever seen her do.
There is no way I will ever believe this girl has learned a damn thing. Hell, her Current reports were better than this. And she didn't look like a whore in them either.
If she keeps dressing like that somebody is gonna jump her.
Utterly unprofessional.

Maybe I should be kind, though. She might be a slow learner. Possibly mildly retarded. Oh Lord, if that's the case then if Keith has a child with her, which I seriously doubt is gonna happen but just in case it does, their child will be extremely mentally challenged.
Keith obviously had mental problems when he was a kid, and still does. Seriously, I believe he does, it's not a joke.
She obviously can't get a grip on how to be a professional reporter. After what? A year? More? She was raised in that world, wasn't she? So she definitely has got to have something wrong with her brain.
That is a match made in hell. I pity the poor child. If there ever is one.

Chock-Full Of Rachel

Countdown has been relatively boring the past couple of nights. Monday night was pretty good, though. I'll have to give Rachel kudos. She's doing a very good job. And she has a great sense of humor.

Do I miss Keith? Nah. Not really. It's peaceful without all the complaining and whining about ratings and BillO, Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, any Republican for that matter, BillO, ratings, FOX, BillO, ratings, ratings, BillO.

Keith Keith Keith Keith Keith BillO BillO BillO BillO BillO FOX FOX FOX FOX FOX.

Whew!!!! That should get me through the rest of the week.

Thank You, Bob Costas

Dan Patrick: "If Bob didn't sign off on this, there's no way I'd walk into the room."

Well, thank God, somebody has some brains in this situation. When I heard this news on Countdown tonight my first thought was that Keith is trying to weasel his way to the front of the line.
Bob may be shorter than Keith but he's so much bigger in so many ways. Thank you Bob Costas for being the leader.

But I have to touch on that particular statement made by Dan Patrick. Do you think Keith would be mature enough to say something like that regarding his own career moves? I don't think so.
It would be more like, "If you don't give me what I want I'll tell on you".

This should be very interesting indeed.

Gossipers and Liars and Other Things

I generally don't like to comment on these stories that the gossip rags like to print about Keith until Keith slits his own throat. But I do want to say this about those latest "tales"?
If Keith was throwing a hissy fit over ketchup or not getting first class seats on a train, plane or automobile, where is bonehead in all of this?
Usually when a celebrity makes a fool of himself in front of "people" then not only do the rags rag on that celebrity they also mention that celebrity's gf and how they reacted to the situation.
Nothing was mentioned at all about bonehead. So this begs two questions. Are they lying or does Keith not take her with him when he goes anywhere other than ballgames?

I think it's funny that the gossip rags are picking on Keith. I figure, if he can dish it out he better be prepared to take it. However, if he was smart he would let his PR person take care of these "gossips" and not let himself get involved by getting on national television and making a complete ass out of himself...so everybody can pick at it even more.

Also, Keith seems to be under the impression that he's dating a younger woman. First off, it's not dating anymore when you start living with them. And secondly, as long as she lives with someone who has the mentality of a 12 year old, she will never be a woman.
He also needs to keep in mind that when he posts, and comments, on the DailyKos that it's a public forum. Everybody can read what he says. So it's probably wise for him to stop telling little white lies on there.
There's always gonna be somebody out there that's going to catch that lie.

And now for ratings.
So much for getting the younger audience. Hmm, I guess sleeping with a child didn't work. Also, isn't it kind of odd that the demo is 25-54 and yet his average audience is 59???
You figure it out.

Breaking News! Old People Watch TV
Earlier this week, FishbowlLA's Tina Dupuy picked up on this Variety story about the rising median age of TV watchers as a whole. Her takeaway: "Honey, I wish you would turn that TV off — go outside and enjoy your mid-life crisis."
One cable news related bit:
Among ad-supported cable nets, the news nets (along with older-skewing Hallmark Channel, Golf Channel and GSN's daytime sked) sport the most gray, with Fox News Channel's daytime and primetime skeds the absolute oldest, clocking in with a median age above 65.
What does it mean? Who knows. FNC is still the #1 cable news network in Total Viewers by far (likely skewing the average) and, once again, tops in the all-important A25-54 demo. And CNN's median age is over 60 as well, while Countdown with Keith Olbermann, MSNBC's best show in the A25-54 demo, has an average age of 59.

Tsk Tsk

What a fucking ass liar. I do believe the part about Monty Python but Keith didn't really start saying shit like that until he started sleeping with children. He bashes older women's ages more than you can count and very rarely says anything about himself being too old for children.
If you believe what he said then you're a fool. Need I remind you that he said a group of his fans were no JLo's but more like Leona Helmsley's.
He wants everybody to believe that he's not being sexist when he says things like that when in reality..yes he is. He use to bash older guys with younger girls all the time but he doesn't do it anymore. So that was a fucking lie.
Liar liar pants on fire.

No Hollerin'

Ah, the "special comment" couldn't be brief. When he first started talking I thought, "Hmm, that sounds eerily familiar". I think you get my drift, but just in case you don't, Keith bashed every Republican he could manage to bash.
And then it started to sound more like, "Obama beware of false prophets". But as the end drew near it got better.
Not Keith's best but it wasn't too bad. At least he didn't holler. And that speaks volumes. Maybe now his pets are happy.

Countdown was okay. Best Persons was interesting again. But Worst Persons is so predictable I just don't even listen to it anymore.

On a different note. Some advice for bonehead.
If you want to be taken seriously then go back to school. This time take some journalism classes. And throw in many hours of acting lessons.
Stop dancing while reporting, especially when reporting a murder. And watch those bouncing forward movements. It looks very childish and stupid. And very very very amateurish.
I figured by now you would be better, but you're not.
Stop wearing atrocious clothing. That ugly ass white shirt and pukey colored skirt looked like you were going to apply for a job at FOX. You know? The kind of clothes that's bought at a yard sale and makes you look like you're ready to become a hooker?
You know as well as I do that Keith doesn't think you're good at this. If he says you are then he's lying.
But then you could do everybody a favor and quit while you're behind.
You suck at on air reporting. And it's not just because I find you repulsive, as far as morals are concerned, it's that you just simply do not have any qualifications to be doing what you're doing, AND have shown absolutely no improvement whatsoever.
I give this six more months.

Something Old, But Still Worth Bringing Up

Never let it fade away. If you scroll down a little bit you'll find another interesting link.

I bring this up because I don't want anybody to forget what kind of person Keith really is. When he said this piece on Thursday it made me sick and took me right back to what he did, and it makes this statement very very hard to swallow(no pun intended).

OLBERMANN: I‘m still back in documentary short subject. If the Screen Actors Guild authorizes this reported strike, we might start to see more of these videos. Could that turn into something of a commodity and suppress the market value of something like the exquisite and beautiful expression of the human love act here?

Since when does Keith find love making an exquisite and beautiful expression? He's used and abused women probably all his life. I don't think he's misogynistic, but I do believe he's a chauvinist and feels a woman's place is in the home.
If you'll notice most of his guests are guys who he seems to have an unusual attraction for. I'm not saying he's a closet gay, but it's rather odd that he can't communicate well with women.

Chris Matthews has a lot more female guests on his show. A lot of very intelligent and grounded women. So you can't tell me that Keith can't find that many women to interview.

Pick-me-up Bouquet

The bouquet, of course, being the DailyKos and the pick-me-up being all his pets. Do you really believe that Keith didn't post for two weeks because he was grieving? If you do then I have a bridge..blahblahblah.
Keith doesn't grieve for very long. It's not in his nature. But it is in his nature to speak of himself in the third person? WTF?

Sometimes I feel sorry for him because he's so transparent and incredibly stupid, but then, I get over it. Everybody started hatin' on him so he had to go somewhere to get love. You know? The kind he doesn't get at home? And what better place than the kennel of love?
I'm not saying that's a bad thing, but when there are those who are clearly being duped in order to fulfill his needs, and they don't see it, I find that disturbing.
Keith will use whatever means, and whoever he can find, to make himself look good. But whatever you do don't turn your back on him.

When he said he was gonna do a "brief" special comment, I laughed. Since when does Keith do "brief" special comments? Never. He's only doing this to scratch their itch just enough to keep them where he wants them. If he truly cared about how they feel then his "special comment" would be more than BRIEF.

Personally, I like the fact that he spends that much time on the computer. And at work. And at ballgames. This says everything you need to know about his "love" life. It's nonexistent. And if you think it isn't then you're living in a dream world.
Keith's love is for himself only. And he knows it. That's what makes him such a great manipulator.

Man Cleavage

I bet Keith has cleavage. If he doesn't then it's damn close and it won't be long before he does. He's just ballooning. But, you know, if Keith doesn't care about his weight gain then why should anybody else.

Didn't he say that BillO was back in Worst Persons again? Did he ever leave? If those are the only kinds of worst persons he can come up with then I'll take my chances with them. There are far worse than that in this world. And if he thinks they ARE the worst then he's certainly not thinking clearly.

Oddball was good. Best persons was interesting. And the man cleavage cracked me up. The rest of the show kinda sucked.
So...those who missed Michael Musto please raise your hand.

A Beautiful Date

Okay, let's face it, Keith is looking for a beautiful date. Probably someone who isn't afraid of having her picture taken with him at events. And someone who is qualified to do the job she is doing or wants to do.
Never tell another "news person", and I use those words lightly, that they are not qualified to do a job when you, yourself, get your unqualified girlfriend a job she sucks at more than that one you just belittled.
It baffles me how he can actually say these things without batting a beady eye. But then, that's where the "real" "not real" person comes in. He's just not being realistic.

And how about the way Christian Finnegan didn't answer that question about the beautiful date? The guy is funny. I like him. And I think he knows exactly what Keith is up to.

Well, aside from the ignorant question at the end there, Countdown was relatively good tonight. Oddball was chuckle worthy. So not a total loss.

Thank You

I would like to thank all of those who participated in the poll questions. I too believe he isn't real. But I believe he isn't real most of the time.
However,
He's real when he writes his "special comments". Not real when he performs them.
He's real when he speaks highly of Obama. Not real when he claims he's not biased.
He's real when he says he's happy. Not real when he says it has something to do with bonehead.
If he is so happy with her then why did he choose his job over her? This will lead to another poll question. But it won't be about his job.

I chose that he was funny sometimes. Last night was not funny. But I think he was on drugs.

Anyway, I would also like to thank bob for boosting MY ratings.hehe. I didn't ask for it but it is a free country.

Much Better

Well, tonight's show was definitely better than last night's. Keith wasn't high on drugs tonight.
I did enjoy the interview, if that's what you'd call it, with Justin Bateman and that other guy who decided to jump in. I think what I liked most about it was that Keith was soooooooo out of his league.
Oh, he so desperately wants to be an actor. Or sleep with one. But then, what's the difference?

BillO is stupid. Oddball wasn't as good as it was last night but it was still good. And we're getting a lot of doses of Jonathan Turley.

Much better.

Oh My, That Was Just Hilarious

I watched very little of Countdown tonight, mostly because I just couldn't stomach those godawful glasses. Keith may want to try to look like Clark Kent but Superman he is not. I use to think he was, but then he turned into Lex Luthor.
The way he looked and sounded tonight made it very difficult for me to take him serious. Even the death of George Carlin seemed like a joke to him. Whatever happened to his so called compassion? I saw nothing resembling that at all tonight.
The stories were good stories but I just couldn't watch them. All he could do was joke around about serious stuff.
Yeah, that was funny, wasn't it Keith? If you thought that was funny you should watch the joke where Bush makes fun of not being able to find WMD's in Iraq. That just cracks me up every time.

I don't know what kind of drugs he was on tonight but he needs to stop taking them, especially if he's going to do serious news.
Countdown would've been good tonight had the host not been such a fucking joke. Booooo!!!

Feeling A Bit Inadequate?

I swear Keith kept saying that those creepy people used Tim Russert's death to bash him and Chris Matthews again. From the way he made it sound it was as if it was something new that we hadn't heard yet.
Well, aside from the fact that he repeated himself tonight the only thing that was new was all about him. Go figure.
I really don't give a flying flip if Keith has RLS or if he did or didn't take some kind of medication that effects the only member of his family that can't move. Which sort of surprised me that he didn't just come right out and say his sex life was great. Hence the title of this post.

I'm starting to think that maybe there might be some truth behind those "lies". Why else would he even address these things? Sure, one would say it has something to do with his ratings going up, and he's talking about it to let them know that what they're doing is making his life better.
It sounds good, doesn't it?

But I don't see his life getting better. I see his ratings going up..and that's a good thing, but he's getting butchered. And he's falling for every bit of it.

They've got you exactly where they want you. Don't they Keith? They're winning. They may be helping boost those ratings, but just exactly who are those extra people that's watching?

Aside from another attempt to win that fight, Countdown was boring tonight. Thank God for the weekend, huh?

Why Keith, You're Absolutely Right

You're not qualified to do Meet The Press. Now if bonehead would just admit she's not qualified to do on air reporting, freelance or not, then maybe there would be some sort of unified truth here.

I hate to be so crass right now, not that I haven't been before, but I just felt Keith was basically covering an ass that didn't really need to be covered. In other words, if he would stop reading that stupid rag of a paper, regardless of whether or not they are "out to get him" then maybe he wouldn't worry so much about what others think or say about him.
He sounds like the little brother that keeps whining to his mother that sis keeps looking at him.


There are always going to be those who don't like you. And it doesn't matter what kind of standing you have in the community. The bigger you get the more you're going to get bashed. If Keith can't handle it then he needs to get out of the business.

Don't get me wrong, I understand that he felt he was defending Tim Russert but in Keith's case, which is usually the case, it's all about Keith.


Heavy sigh. Has Keith learned absolutely nothing? Countdown is good. His ratings are getting better. Can't he just take that and run with it?


The show was good tonight. And we all know that there are going to be a bunch of idiots out there that will say that Keith and Dana were being mysoginistic tonight. It's a given.


I think if Keith were to just ignore these people, get rid of bonehead and stop being so negative then that would throw almost everyone of his haters for a loop. They wouldn't know what to do. They would have to resort to the old Keith.

Another heavy sigh. But we know that's not going to happen. Why? I've said it before. He's not happy unless he's miserable. Which means, being controversial.

Of Deers and Rainbows and A Final Goodbye

I believe very strongly in final goodbyes. When my Mother passed away we all gathered at my Dad's house after the funeral. While we were all sitting down stairs we saw three deers jump over the fence and into the back yard. One deer came up to the patio doors and stood there for the longest time just watching us. The other two stayed out in the yard. We all sat there quietly and looked at it. Then it just turned around and walked off. It caught up with the other two and all three jumped back over the fence and ran into the woods.
That's all they did.
So I believe my Mother was giving us a final goodbye. Just as I believe that rainbow was Tim Russert's final goodbye.

I'm a rather spiritual person so I believe that the soul of a person, who was loved deeply in life, comes back long enough to soothe the pain of those who are grieving so that the healing process can begin with a sense of peace.

So from Tim Russert it was a rainbow goodbye.

Ooh, That's Not Gonna Be Easy

I don't envy Keith covering Tim Russert's funeral tomorrow. I already know that if I get to see any of it I'm gonna break down. I don't know how he can do it.

I know some people will say that he's coldhearted so it won't bother him. Well, I believe Keith is coldhearted to some degree but I also believe that Tim's death hit him pretty hard. It hit everybody pretty hard. So in that respect..he's no different.

On to happier things. I like Christian Finnegan. He's funny. And Countdown played one of my favorite songs tonight. I love Duran Duran.

Tonight's show was pretty good.

Even The Dog And Cat Knows

Al Gore is a hoot. I'm not particularly fond of listening to his speeches but his 'endorsement of Obama' speech was pretty good.

On to Countdown. Luke Russert is the spitting image of his Dad. What a great guy. I enjoyed that bit of interview they showed tonight. He has a strength I could only imagine having. When they showed the part where he was standing at his father's chair I almost broke down. But then, every time I see a picture of Tim it brings tears to my eyes.
It's gonna take a long time to even believe he's no longer with us. It just doesn't seem real.

I was thankful, though, for the humor on Countdown tonight. It was needed.

One Good Thing/One Not So Good Thing

There's only one good thing I can say at this moment about Keith. He did an excellent job covering the loss of Tim Russert. I'll give him kudos for that. It couldn't have been easy.
But what disturbs me the most is his lack of professionalism in jumping on Kos for support. I understand that he's a member of the group but does Keith really have no true friends to go to in this time of mourning?
Is bonehead or his co-workers not enough? If he had waited till today to address those people and said his thank you's then I wouldn't have thought much about it.
But these are viewers of his.
I'm not saying they don't have the right to express their sorrows or want Keith to comment but Keith couldn't wait to get that from them.
I think it's sad that he can't get the kind of support from his own people that he has to get it from his viewers.
But, maybe Keith is a very lonely guy and has to go somewhere. I'm not knocking it too much anymore. I think he has a lot of baggage that needs to be taken care of. And if this is the route he has to go then so be it.
