Keith Olbermann: "Who does the president think he's f'n kidding?"

[eleny]

Just now re W's assertion that he never linked Saddham with 9/11.

[SeattleGirl]

1. That absolutely cracked me up!

KO is so great!

[eleny]

3. And he repeated it to Crawford

Made my night!

[liveoaktx]

40. Me too-VIDEO of that

Edited from Countdown last night-on CanOFun

[Blue Diadem]

42. Thanks! I missed that part last night.

God how I love KO! :loveya:

[liveoaktx]

44. me too, -I love that he said it TWICE

[Bjornsdotter]

2. I was stunned

Thrilled...but stunned when KO said this.

Cheers

[eleny]

5. You know the video of this will be all over the net, too

[many a good man]

4. "Presidential prevarication at its best"

-Craig Crawford

[eleny]

6. Choosing his words most carefully

[napi21]

8. He was lone rangering it, and it wasn't the way his speech writers

would have phrased it! "I was very careful NOT to say..." indicates that he was VERY careful in the phrasing of his STOU speech, and not necessarily all the whole truth!

[HeeBGBz]

7. He said "f'n"?

Hahahaha, sorry I missed it.

[eleny]

10. the video will be all over, no doubt

[Blue Belle]

33. Yep... he sure did.

It was F'n priceless. :+

[HeeBGBz]

45. Keef...gotta love him

eom

[Burried News]

9. It ain't just the aspens turning ...

The truth about the war is coming out - ABC, NBC and PBS were all telling it like it is on their broadcasts tonight. I wonder what the heck happened. It's as if the media execs all had a big meeting over the weekend???

[Democrat 4 Ever]

11. Anybody else love Keith's bumper music every night? He always has

the funniest tunes to take us commercial. Someone spends a lot of time finding just the right ditty for the preceding news bit. Every night, night after night they make me laugh.

[Disturbed]

13. Maybe the RW Media Corp has decided that...

Bush and his Cabal is done and it is better for ratings to finish them off?

[rodeodance]

12. really, I have watched very little TV this last week (not tonight)

[femrap]

29. I noticed the same thing....it was a DEFINITE

change by the corporate media....maybe they realize that this war is sucking our country dry?

It was like the media all of a sudden got a brain!

[Admiral Loinpresser]

36. It's just weather vane journalism.

They watch the polls and respond. When Bush landed on the aircraft carrier Tweety called him the "warrior president." What a joke. Now Matthews is criticizing the war almost every night.

When Bush was high in the polls they had nothing to say. Now most of the are in "me too" mode.

[spooky3]

43. KO is no weather vane journalist. Check out the KO

group here at DU as far back as you want to go. He's been on the stories that no one else in the corporate media will report.

[Admiral Loinpresser]

46. My bad.

I wasn't clear that I was responding to the "corporate media" reference in the post right above my response. I wasn't referring to KO. I am a big fan of Oddball!

[spooky3]

48. good, Keith has plenty of fans here!

[LSK]

14. wow, KO's show is totally mirroring DU lately

And he just totally attacked FOXNEWS just now! :rofl:

[Mr_Spock]

15. He just said "Fox news reporters pretend to be real journalists"

(or something to that effect)

:rofl:

[rodeodance]

16. chuckle. K must be going wild.

[Mr_Spock]

17. Now making Tom Cruise & Scientology look like the ass holes they are

It's just too much!!

Isaac Hayes had no problem with the spoofing of Scientology the first time around - it wasn't until they went to show the repeat that he quit.

These Scientologists are creepy freaky!

[Swamp Rat]

18. Yep

They are not human.

:D

[Mr_Spock]

21. Hehe - you got a Green Monster for every occasion

:rofl:

Good one :D

[alittlelark]

25. I click on any post I see from you SwampRat!!

:yourock:

[Swamp Rat]

26. LOL! ... WARNING! My posts are usually offensive and inane.

:D

"Aw dude! How d'y'all dew it? ... wake up-n-all? Must be hard work... ahaw haw haw!"

[alittlelark]

27. They are creative and pertinent!

My take on the situation....:yourock:

[AlCzervik]

19. i was in Hollywood this summer and we parked to see the Walk of fame

when we pulled in to the parking spot i got out and looked up--we were right in front of the scientology mother ship--LA branch and i wanted to go in sooo bad, you know just look around a bit. Well my husband took one look at me and said "Uh-huh, no way Hon are you going in there---they'll know and it won't be good."

[Mr_Spock]

20. "They'll know"

:rofl:

They'd shoot you with the mind control darts & brain wash you :rofl:

[AlCzervik]

22. he was totally creeped out by the whole thing, the building, the people

and this is a man who doesn't get grossed out by much but he couldn't get far away from the place fast enough.

[Mr_Spock]

23. I imagine it must've been eerie!

Mind control 101

[Raksha]

24. Idon't blame him. Those Scientology places have bad vibes.

I hate it that they've taken over so much Hollywood real estate. It started with a hospital years ago, and now they even have an L. Ron Hubbard Drive.

[alittlelark]

28. We have one in downtown Los Altos - next to one of my fav. restaurants....

I have yet to see one person enter (aside from employees).

[upi402]

30. * and Condo ate mushrooms then saw clouds

It gets a little consusing when you're all tweekin' an shiii

[Amaryllis]

31. Where did he say this? Do you have a link?

[Alizaryn]

32. I spit out my mouthful of water at the set!

I couldn't believe my ears...the man has balls and a righteous sense of anger.

[AuntiBush]

34. Seen it - Olbermann's one of THE best Reporters on the Tube.

[Bozita]

35. Best line on a cable news channel EVER!

Let's see O'Really match that!

[ovidsen]

37. Well, he never SAID it...

But he wrote it in a letter, as Sabra points out here...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x706898

And, of course, Cheney and his lackeys weren't averse to linking Saddam to 9/11 either.

[sazemisery]

38. For those who missed it - from the transcript....

<snip>

OLBERMANN: He just ate it. Let me start with that question and answer in Cleveland today. I know I didn’t say there was a direct connection between September 11th and Saddam Hussein and later that he had been very careful never to say that Saddam Hussein ordered the attacks on America. Let me repeat that rhetorical question of a few moments ago. Who does he think he is f-ing kidding?

I laughed my head off

[Senator]

39. k & r -- everyone needs to enjoy this n/t

[malaise]

41. I was rolling with laughter

It was priceless times two.

[Bozita]

47. absolutely the best line spoken on TV this year
