My spin on Lloyd Grove today...

[Muffstser]

To Jossip's credit, they made minimal edits of my original work. Bet you can tell who's writing is mine! :)

There's nothing quite like a good bitch, especially when the "bitches" are Lloyd "Why Check the Facts?" Grove and Keith "I'm Not Paranoid" Olbermann.

Fortunately we have Intern "always loves a good fight" Wendy to cover the logistics. She brings us the play by play on this all-out media war, including her own personal take on the only reason why anyone watches Rita Cosby.

The conclusion was today’s Grove column “Home on Deranged,” in which he calls Keith “krazy” with a k. In case you are confused and not just totally bored, you can read up on the article's twisted history after the jump.


• Last August, Grove "scooped" MSNBC's Rick Kaplan tirade against Olbermann's now legendary "spitting blood in the garbage can" cancer scare rant, fearing it would turn off viewers awaiting Rita Cosby's debut. (Doesn't Rick realize that blood and guts are why viewers watch Rita's show?)

• Last Sunday, Olbermann was interviewed by Brian Lamb on C-Span's Q&A. Olbermann tells Lamb that he and Kaplan have made up, and although the NBC suits would rather he not rail against Dubya and Co., as long as he brings in the ratings, they don't gave a rat's ass.

• Using the Cindy Adams fact-checking system, Grove reports on Monday that Olbermann's blasting his bosses again. Olbermann fires back in an angry blog entry, and labels Grove and Katherine Thomson, Grove's flunky and former MSNBC staffer, the "worst persons in the world."

• Today, Grove responds with the same old stuff: Olbermann's nuts; Grove omitted Olbermann's comments complimenting his NBC bosses because they are "syrupy," and "sucking up;" and praising Thomson's "long and rewarding services" to MSNBC. (Like what, doing Tucker Carlson's laundry?)

But, really, do these two really need to bring poor Katherine Thomson into this? So lame. Come on, these two can't live without each other, but unless they’re going to start throwing real punches, we are tired of this wussy proverbial banter.

1. keep talking Lloyd...

the more dirt you dump on Keith, the more obvious your agenda becomes.

[crispini]

2. LOL! The only thing your review lacks

to make it JUST like Wonkette is,

"Get a room already. You're not fooling anyone." :rofl:

:thumbsup:

[gkhouston]

3. true. Except KO doesn't play on that team.

Gotta wonder what Lloyd's fixation is about, though...

[Muffstser]

4. Exactly my point.

What I was getting at was the constant "re-hash" of the same old stuff by Grove. I had a word limit, so I tried to squeeze in as much as I could.

Really, those two need to sit down with a bottle of truth serum and some cocktail weenies, and dish about someone they both hate: Bill O'Reilly. :)

5. nah. I don't think you need to drug Keith to get the truth out of him.

He seems more than willing to natter pretty candidly about most subjects. 'Sides, I'm thinking any time spent with Lloyd Grove would probably count as punishment. And speaking of punishment, guess who's doing a TomKat story tonight? :puke:

6. "Blood and guts"....

are the reason they watch Reeter?
Doing Tucker's laundry? Why not tying his bowtie?

:rofl: too, too funny!

[gkhouston]

7. if I tied Tucker's tie around his neck

I'd be sure to make it a snug fit. Real snug. Just sayin'...

8. Guess whose lines THOSE were?

Needless to say, I was really happy Corynne left that part in. :)

9. Great work, Muffster!

I was wondering what happened to your wonderful Jossip work. Seemed the last few times they bothered to mention Keith, it was in a quasi-negative light. We needed you back on the job! :hug:

10. Well, if the spirit moves you, let them know you miss me!

The feedback...good or bad...is always appreciated.
