MSNBC's Olbermann Loses Big at 'Liberal Media' Dishonor Awards

[NYCGirl]

I suspect if there is a Hell, it'll be a lot like the Media Research Center awards. So vile that even Ann Coulter and Sean Hannity wouldn't attend!

http://www.washingtonian.com/blogarticles/mediapolitics/capitalcomment/3797.html

A thousand-plus conservative activists, funders, staff from various right-wing organizations, and a number of bloggers—all in a mish-mash of attire for the annual black tie optional gathering. While three of the night's big names, Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity, and Joe Scarborough couldn't make it, the room held most of the well-known conservative talk show hosts, who all paid tribute to Center's founder, Brent Bozell, over the course of the evening.

The evening's tone was set when emcee Cal Thomas, who was introduced as the most syndicated columnist "in the nation, hemisphere, world, solar system, and the universe," explained that the evening was "carbon neutral" because everyone in the room arrived in vehicles powered by the "chicken droppings Al Gore's been peddling in recent days." He joked that the evening's sponsors included the Guantanamo Bay Gift Shop and Chevrolet, "the car Saudi Arabian women would drive if they could drive."

Video montages showed clips of the evening's award nominees, none of whom, unsurprisingly, were in the audience to accept the awards in person. In fact, as one presenter joked, no one has ever accepted an award in person in the event's history.

MSNBC's Keith Olbermann was perhaps the biggest loser last night: Nominated in three of the five categories, he failed to win a single award. Neal Boortz relished going after Olbermann, calling him "MSNBC's answer to a relief tube," a "void surrounded by a sphincter muscle," and said, "You know you've done something right when that footstool attacks you on national TV."

2. An asshole convention!

[Cha]

3. Fucking Liars Asshole

Convention.

Those Assholes really know how to waste time.

4. Look on the bright side. The closest these gasbags have gotten to truth was the clips

they show at the awards ceremony. I'm surprised they don't recoil and turn into little piles of dust, like vampires who get exposed to sunlight. Cal Thomas always looked a little like a bloated Lugosi to me (with all apologies to the great Bela).

5. I'm sure that among their guests were

Betty Beatzer, Candice B. Fureal, Darius Lesgettham, Drew Peacock, Ron A. Muck, Stu Padasso
and Bill O'Really's special guest-------Jack Mehoffer

What a hate-fest for these Nazis. Keith should be proud he did so well, he scares them.

[OwnedByFerrets]

6. I will probably get flamed............

big time for equating the two, but to me, this gathering of evil ppl is no different than a gathering of KKK members. They both spew forth bile and hatred. The only difference is one hates a entire race of ppl and the other hates an entire ideology.

[BulletproofLandshark]

12. No flames here.

I'm sure there's a lot of crossover between both groups.

7. Faux news best friend

They are always quoting the media research centre.

8. I'm never watching Wheel of Fortune again

In accepting a large pointy award for Rosie O'Donnell, the Wheel of Fortune's Pat Sajek explained, "I don't know if she has room for this, but I'd be happy to take it over to her and show her where to put it."

[TahitiNut]

9. Yep. Pat Sajek is about as far reich as they get. Baby-faced slime.

:puke:

[progdonkey]

10. "the car Saudi Arabian women would drive if they could drive"

Yeah, Saudi Arabia is one backwards, terrorist-funding shithole--we sure showed them by invading Iraq instead!!! :eyes:

[symbolman]

11. I'll bet you could sell

a LOT of BOYS at that convention, cute blonde ones, gotta be 14 or less..

Wait, that would be O'Reilly's plug, sorry..

There must have been one HELL of a lot of stress on the DOORS of that room, what with all the Vaccuum, and SUCKING, and HOT AIR :)

[LiberalHeart]

13. Oh gawd.

[muntrv]

14. Nothing smart is gonna be spoken at a reich winger circle jerk.

[Azathoth]

15. It says a lot that even Coulter and Hannity didn't want to be seen with these B-list losers

A group of angry little nose-pickers telling each other how cool they are and railing against Ay-rabs and minorities and the Vast Liberal Media Conspiracy and making "Al Gore is fat" jokes... these guys sound like high school misfits who never grew out of their "awkward" phase.

On a side note, I've never quite figured out how right-wingers can condemn Saudi Arabia in one breath, and then vote repeatedly for a guy who is wholly owned by the Saudi royal family in the next. Besides, Saudi Arabia is one of the only countries on the planet that embodies the "conservative social values" they like to scream about.

[BlueStater]

16. Who cares what a bunch of traitors think?

These assholes should be rotting away in prison with Bush and Cheney for the damage they've done to this country.

[NYCGirl]

18. I don't care what they think, but I do get some laughs from them. You know you're

in trouble when Cal Thomas and Neil Boortz are your A-list celebrities.

[Raksha]

17. Like most people on DU, I imagine, I didn't get an invitation

to this little shindig.

Sounds like I didn't miss much.

Is that supposed to be funny? It's not only tasteless, it's downright cruel.

[Goat or Panic]

21. "chicken droppings Al Gore's been peddling in recent days."

This is why conservatives aren't considered funny.

Shouldn't it be "horse droppings" or "bull droppings."

"Chicken droppings" is what powers a room full of pro-war windbags engaging in a self congratulatory circle-jerk.

In fact it's also the term most often used to describe those people.

"Chicken$%&#s.

19. Doing the hating Americans are unwilling to do n/t

[Berry Cool]

20. Keith knows HE's doing something right

when these idiots attack HIM at their stupid awards show.

Poor Neal Boortz. Keith gets him so good, and he just can't handle it. It's like Keith says: "With the emphasis on 'boor.'"
