1. Oh, THAT was tasty.

I'll have an order of snark with a heaping side order of snark, please. :rofl: I love it when Keith pokes holes in those hot air balloons. :7

2. You gotta love it, don't you???

These people are so dumb sometimes, it just blows you away!!

Of course, let's not overlook the possibility that they believe if they keep saying something long enough, it will become true.

Such as: "Keith Olbermann said Scott McClellan had submitted his letter of resignation. Gee, what a maroon." (Or, "There are WMDs.")

This loser gives Jeff Gannon a run for his money, and did you think you'd ever see THAT day?

I guess we know what Keith will be talking about tonight. He seems to love nothing better than news that some idiot has taken his name in vain!

3. I think you nailed it in paras 2 & 3, Berry...

. . . The mantra will be a disingenuous, "KO reported whatsizbutt McMoonface had actually resigned! Why don't these MSM guys make an effort to get the story right? Why hasn't KO apologized? WHY DOES HE STILL HAVE A SHOW?"

:nuke:
.:eyes:

4. PS, Kinsolving is the "White House correspondent" for WORLD NET DAILY!

Since Keith did such a nice job tracking down Bill O'Reilly's actual football attainments, I wonder if he could look into this claim posted on the WND site regarding Les Kinsolving:

"Kinsolving was a newspaper reporter and columnist -– twice nominated for the Pulitzer Prize for his commentary."

When was this -- and for which articles? LOL!

5. I think we just may have found his next blog topic!

I'm really surprised Keith didn't mention this guy on the show last night, but that doesn't mean the quest to humiliate him for being a loser doesn't go on...

I noticed that Inside Cable News mentioned this story and went back to the blog to look at it again, and it seemed to me (maybe I'm wrong but I remember it differently) that Keith reworked the ending a tad. I don't remember there being that great wrapup with the allusion to Gannon at the end.

I would not be the least bit surprised if he researched Kinsolving as well. Hell, I'll research him! At least as much as I can on the Internets!

8. I'm not entirely sure, but

I think that he originally posted the blog without the ending by mistake. I thought it ended right where the transcript was expected to take off, which is why I posted the link to the press briefing too, so you could read what they said.
Then, he came and put the ending on it a little later.

9. He did add the rest later; I have the original blog in my file, and...

. . . here is the way it ended -- which still made sense, btw:

- - -
Duffy tried to avoid adding to Kinsolving’s embarrassment, but the questioner wouldn’t let him. From the transcript today:

Kinsolving: About the letter of resignation, this...

E-mail: [e-mail]
- - -

The original ending made it sound like Kinsolving was like a dog w/ a bone: he just wasn't going to give it up, no matter how stupid it made him sound.

The rest of the transcript wasn't really necessary to make that point.

6. WG, you forgot

WHY DOES KEITH OLBERMANN HATE AMERICA??

Oh no, we haven't seen this particular smear campaign before.....

:sarcasm:

7. Exactly, dg.

. . . They'll make that the subtext for their characterization of Keith's (and Crawford's) whole response to the Koran-flushing story -- the idea that the lllllllbrul media are trying to undermine the positive influence in the world of *, America & God (not necessarily in that order).

10. Did a little research on Kinsolving earlier today.

From his own Web site alone, I learned a lot. Basically, that he's a radio legend in his own mind. I.e., he hopes one day to be mistaken for an important person.

His Web site is not only self-promoting, but downright self-serving, making him sound as if he's the greatest thing since sliced bread--exciting, controversial, yet nonpartisan as all hell! Just about every sentence ends with an exclamation point! Lesson one of writing: if you have to end! everything! with! an exclamation point! to convince! people! that! you! are! exciting! chances are! that! you're! not! all! that! exciting!!!!!!!!!!! OK, so we all do that sometimes in casual talk/chat/posting, but come on...

From other sites, you get the picture that this guy has been a thorn in the side of White House press secretaries from the Nixon administration on. And he's hardly a nonpartisan fellow when it comes to his beliefs. One example: he refers to gays as "sodomites" and equates them with child molesters. Oh nooo, he's not a conservative, oh nooo...And no, he's not a blowhard idiot, oh no.....he just plays one on the radio, and at White House press conferences.

In other words, he's no better than Jeff Gannon...and he's been at it for *decades.* In fact, probably one of the few differences between him and Gannon is that he probably thinks Gannon is a child molester...not just a "Hot Military Stud."
