    That’s great and all but why don’t you ever show clips that ridicule left-wingers? Let’s have some balance!

  2. martin

    Awesome!

  3. Sheryl

    Has anyone ever seen the fat shit that is Roger Ailes?

    Seriously, he has to be about 400lbs. I think most people would be frightened he would eat them, more so than firing them.

  4. kikichanelconspiracy

    OH SNAP! That was awesome.

  5. doofus

    no offense, mod lefty, but if you want to see a left-winger get ridiculed, all you have to do is watch fox news channel.

    or, if you can stomach it, read some of Ann Coulter’s stuff. although, most of the time, she goes beyond ridicule to straight up abuse.

  6. Reality Man

    People actually watch Olbermann? The guy is obsessed with O’Reilly, in fact judgeing by the ratings, the only people who watch that show are people who post Olbermanns daily “I hate fox news” rant on the internet.

    Can’t blame the guy though, you could multiply his viewers by 5 and he would still be getting beat by O’Reilly.

  7. Perrin

    If only 225,000 people watch my show, as per Neilson, i would do as much as possible to make fun of the guy who gets, 2.5 million viewers.
    He needs to go back to ESPN where his remarks were salient.

  8. Genevieve

    No, I don’t watch Olbermann. But anyone who talks shit about O’Reilly is ok in my book.

  9. BenLee

    Olbermann is my new Hero… That was fantastic.

    I’ll be watching his show from now on, and I will tell all my friends as well.

  10. Lee

    I didn’t know who Olbermann is, but now I do. I also will be watching his show. I think O’Reilly is full of crap and I’m sorry but he is not a conservative to me! Also how in the world does anyone get a word in with that guy? Another thing I think O’Reilly is about shock and nothing else. I feel he is no different than 50 Cent with the whole fighting with ppl thing.

  11. Babo O'Reilly

    O’Reilly gets higher ratings than Olbermann? I seriously underestimate the power rednecks posess in the Neilsen ratings…although I guess this would explain the majority of the top shows in the ratings every tv season…

  12. doofus

    now that I’ve actually watched the video…

    that was pretty funny. He may have rubbed it in a little bit more than he needed to, but I do applaud him for calling O’Reilly out on his blatant lies. It’s not the first time another journalist/commentator has done that, and I’m so glad when they do. So many Fox News viewers watch ONLY Fox News, and wind up believing things that are simply not true.

    No spin zone, my arse.

    This clip DOES ridicule left-wingers. It’s a joke that they watch Olberman and believe his ranting and raving. And frankly, Olberman’s creepy obsession with O’Reilly is starting to look like some sort of unrequited man-love thing.

    I feel like u took those words right out of my mouth.

  15. D

    oh btw, what time does olbermann come on??

  16. whatever

    Wow….liberals have such different personal standards for how they behave themselves and how they expect others to. In this clip, Keith calls Roger Ailes “jabba the hutt.” Now say what you will about Bill O’Rielly’s politics, he simply wouldn’t do that. But I guess liberals feel so high and mighty, so above everyone, that its cool and hip to be a complete ass for no reason. How many times has Bill attacked Larry King personally? Please save me the self righteousness; after all, your hateful behaivour goes down much smoother without the chaser of pretentiousness. And if you are going to attack someone for being a jerk, don’t yell into the camera, bend statistics by using only percentages instead of hard numbers, attack people unrelated to the subject at hand, and all in all act like a jerk yourself.

    ^sweetie, ur essay was quite boring and pointless….u get an A for effort tho.

  18. Derrick

    Wow whatever that kettle sure looks black. Have you ever listened to the vile that O’Reilly puts out. O’Reilly invented the sport of insulting people on air. The “jabba the hut” comment is quaint compared to ripping a guy on air who just lost his son in War or telling everyone who doesn’t agree with you to “shut up”. Man, take the propaganda some where else. No one has been more hateful on the air than O’Reilly, and at least Olbermann uses some humor. O’Reilly is just a plain jerk.

    List of People obsessed with Bill O’Reilly…

    Keith Olbermann
    Al Franken
    Stephen Colbert
    Tina Fey
    Bill O’Reilly

    One of these people is a total dirtbag. Three of them are hysterically funny and have appeared on SNL and the other one is Keith Olbermann.

  20. whatever

    “ripping a guy on air who has just lost”…..you don’t watch the show, you don’t know what your talking about…go back to the pretty pictures. You won’t hurt yourself trying to think with those.

    And “pretty essay” person; let me tell ya, sourcasm is not a rebuttle. Its a child’s response to something heard at the adult table. Go back to the corner of the room sweetie and let the grown-ups talk.

  21. sagoff

    I think some people are missing the facts here.

    Bill O’Reilly’s just a new analysis/mostly right-wing commentator, not a straight news reporter. “Countdown with Keith Olbermann” is a Jon Stewart take-off show. It’s comedy vs. regular news guy.

    Sure O’Reilly’s shot people down, he’s known for his hard style but a feud with Olbermann is ridiculous.

    All in all, f*ck Stewart/Colbert/Olbermann…oh, they’re still cool aren’t they…too soon to hate?

    if being a grown-up means tryin to sound educated and doin a horrible job at it…then i shall remain a child forever

    not sure how i found this stupid video of keith but for a network that is out numbered 1000 to 1 with all the lefty news outlets it kicks the you know out of all the othes and i bet keith’s numbers are inflated….like his ego!!!!!

  24. todd

    This guy SUCKS donkey balls All he talks about is Bill..HE NEEDS TO GET A LIFE…

  25. N A

    That is a little wierd.

    Keith Olbermann sounds like he needs to take a deep breath and cry on his mommy’s shoulder.

    Even if Fox News’ ratings are down they are still much higher than CNN and MSNBC combined.

  26. hmm

    Fox News is just a load of bullshit propaganda. Billy is a hypocrite and an asshole at that. I didn’t even know who this Olbermann was until now, but I thought it was pretty funny..

    And “whatever” needs to just shut up. No one cares enough to read your fucking essays. IT’S JUST THE INTERNET.

  27. Biff told me I should vote for Spitzer for governor. So I will.

  28. gambit

    Heh, Olbermann is great, but I think most of you have gotten the wrong impression of Olbermann and his show from this clip. First of all, if and when he does a humorous little bit like this about O’Reilly, it’s late in the show after covering the real news stories of the day–which his show does a great job of covering. And when he does something like this on O’Reilly, it’s to inject humor into an otherwise (generally) depressing news program, and O’Reilly just lobs up these softballs that are too good to pass up most of the time. I’m sure Olbermann would be perfectly happy if O’Reilly shut up and went away, and honestly, his show wouldn’t suffer one bit.
